produce the correct tones he can GO
anywhere and do most anything.
The vibratory theory is his pet
hobby just now. He knows all the old
school book stories about the effect
Of vibrations, and a lot more that have
been printed In books that few peo-
pie read. The phenomenon that q

Also the doctor is sure that this

and the sphinx was moved into its

was near success with the machine. he
says, but it went to pieces from the
force of its vibrations. Now he Is con-
structing another.
His first delay came from the de-
ferred shipment Of consignment Of
holly from the south. The holly was
for the tops and, because no other
wood has the requisite cohesive pow
ers, he was obliged to wait until 1t
