tells it, that he was at his post in the
dynamo room one day nearly nine years
ago. and as the buZZing in his ears
bothered him more than usual he placed
a curiously shaped tuft Of waste in his

happened. In the midst of the silence
that is the torment of one shut off from

a terrible crashing sound as of an earth

engineer sat down in his chair and tried
to realize what had happened Uncon-

from his ear. Instantly he returned 10
the awful silence that had enveloped
him for years. The sound of the ma

and he realized that a new day had
dawned for him. Mr.. Way rushed home

The Story of the Electrical Engineer, GeO. Way, Who's
Lost Hearing Was Restored by His Own Invention

The Way Ear Drum was the result CT
his labOrS. and he wore IL with splendid
results Others. OF course, heard Of the
marvel and he was overwhelmed with
requests for one of these little ear
phones from friends as well as from
people whom he never knew.
A number of wealthy business men in
Detroit, who have known Mr.. Way for
years, knew OF his deafness and the
marvellous results which his invention
had brought, gave him full financial
backing and Endorsement that he might
extend, to the largest possible limit. the
blessings which his wonderful ear drums
bring TO those who are suffering from
impaired hearing and deafness. Patents
have been granted in all foreign coun-
tries. and literally thousands of the
drums have been sold in every part Of
the world and every day witnesses a
large increase in the volume of demand
as the sale of one pair Of the drums in
any locality produces many other sales
Nine persons out Of every ten who have
tried the Way Ear Drums have been
benefited by them and nat, rally are
quick TO testify Of their value TO fellow
sufferers.
Mr.. Way. whose home office is in the
Majestic Bldg, Detroit. Mich, believes
there are very few cases of deafness
that his drums VIII not relieve, and he
is anxious to meet the deaf and those
who suffer from impaired hearing
Mr.. Way while an expert himself in
tHe kuoWleuSS OF the ear and the VaFi-
GUS conditions which produce impaired
hearing and deafness, by reason of his
own personal experience in treating him
self successfully, yet gives added assur-
ance of his earnestness to help all those
who call upon him in the fact that he is
accompanied during his visit to Wash
ingtOn by his wife. DR.. Frances NJ. Way,

who call upon Mr.. Way viii thus have
the benefit of thorough professional
examination and counsel. as well as the
great advantage of meeting one who has
gone through the deep waters of per
sonal suffering, who was deaf himself
and by his own efforts brought back mis-
hearing. So do not hesitate to call upon

New Site Within a Month.

In the remarks of President Needham
il was suggested that within the next
month the site for the university would
be decided In expressing his views con-
corning desirable features for a uni
Versity site, he said that a commanding
site should be chosen and that when the
site had been agreed upon all should
heartily indorse the decision. Athlstics
would receive due consideration.

little outlay for running expenses?
We would therefore, recommend
the use of cream separator to every

rather expensive to some, but when

BUSH FRUITS DURING BLOOM.

Some growers discontinue the Gull
tivation of bush fruits during the
blooming period, believing that the
bloom may be injured by the particles
|of dust set in motion by the horses
feet and cultivator teeth.
We have always made it practice
to keep the cultivation going from
the time the soil is dry enough to work
in spring until the cover crop is sown
in July or August, and we have never
been able to detect any injury done
to the fruit
Such injury, If any, would manifest
itself in Informed fruit. There has
certainly been no such result in our
fruit plantation and our practice calls
for excessive cultivation.
During the season 1906, which was
noted for an exceptionally light rain
fall, the earth mulch of three or four
inches became almost as fine and dry
as road dust.
The maintenance of this mulch
meant the salvation Of the fruit crop
and also the salvation Of the life of
the plantation itself.
To have withheld cultivation dur
ing bloom, period of four to six
weeks, would have permitted the es-
cape of the greater share of the mois-
ture in the soil.
Our experience in the matter of
strawberries is that stirring of the
soil while dry. during bloom, results
in "nubbins," but strawberry bios
SONS are low down, while those of
bush fruits are not. Until we have
seen ill results from the practice, we
shall keep right on as we have been
doing. for the practice has always
brought us good results, and that is
what we are working form. N. Ed

On the shore Of Cayuga lake are
immense deposits Of gypsum, generally
known as plaster. or land plaster. and
when used for household decorations
1t is called plaster Of Paris.
These quarries have an extent Of
about one mile along the lake and
have been excavated to a depth Of
about fifty feet. Cayuga gypsum has a
light shade of blue In color, while that
found in Nova Scotia is as white as
wheat flour. In all important quali-
ties they have perfect similarity.
Thirty years ago the farmers of cen-
