Some Wonderful New Doctors Pre-
scriptions.

In the January American Magazine,
Raw StannaTd Baker tells the story OF
"The New Mission Of the Doctor II is
wonderful presentation Of the new field
into which medicine Is advancing Sci
entifc physicians, driven by Christian
Scientists to recognize the use Of the
mind and religion in eifecting cures, are
taking tremendous strides TO catch up
with the movement, just as the church
is, too, which is now engaged all over
the United States in healing the sick.
Speaking Of the Massachusetts General
hospital in Boston, Mr.. Baker says:
alTwenty-one thousand new patients

the Massachusetts, general hospital last

suffering humanity, as it passes before

Pigeons Take photographs.

The remarkable sense of direction
which enables a pigeon to find its way
back to the cote, even from a consider
able distance, has long been used for the
conveyance Of written messages. It oc-
cured to DR.. Neubronner of Cronberg
recently that he might attach to q pigeon
small Photographic camera, allowing
some distinct views to be taken during
fight of about twenty meters q sec
ond.
After testing this camera from an ex-
press train, DIR. Neuromber proceeded
to perform his first experiment on car
rier pigeons as photographers, and the
first pictures, which were two by two
centimeters in size, were considered quite
satisfactory as preliminary results. As
the inventor soon realized the scope Of
this idea, he ordered from good mechanic
a larger camera with q better objective
and films of four by four centimeters,
with a view to further improving those
views. This camera having been fixed
to the pigeons breast with thin board
OF herd wood, was kept in position on
the back of the bird by means Of straps.
A small India rubber ball, allowing
the air slowly to escape, would effect
the instantaneous opening Of the shutter
in due time. AS the air issued from the
ball the latter collapsed more and more,
while disengaging the shutter at regular
which were readily pre- deter
mined. DR.. Neubronner was thus able
to secure eight consecutive views, but
the capacity of the apparatus is likely
TO be increased up to thirty views, so
that, with intervals of half a minute,
distance of fifteen kilometers could be
covered nearly consecutively. AS q pig
con is able to transport seventy five
grains to a distance ten times as great,
no essential difficulties will be met with
in carrying this idea out in practice.
1t is interesting that the German pat
emit Office, owing to the prevalent err
roneous views as to the small carrying
of pigeons, should at first have
been rather slcptical in regard TO DR..
Neubronner's invention, granting the
patent only after being satisfied Of his
claims by the demonstration of some
records actually taken by
Pigeons at Picture
Makers in Technical World Magazine
for January.

A Voice the Most Important Equipment

Sarah Bernhardt replied to young

natural equipment for stage career
First Of all, voice" And if there be

il the gifted French woman whose voice,
even when used through the medium OF

many thousands of hearts and brought
tears to SO many thousands Of eyes.
1t was BY means Of the voice that
Clara Morris won her great success the
first night she played in New York. 1t
is by the use of the voice alone that
Mrs. Carter makes her hysterical and

act OF "Du Barry II was through her

that has made his Music Master and

THE GRANGE AND THE AUTO.
A Spirit Of federation Of The Machine
Exists Among The Farmers.

Tho stand taken by the National
Grange on the automobile question Is
summed up in the annual address of
tho worthy master, Ex-Governor n. J..
Batchslder Of New Hampshire, copy
Of which has just been received from
the publishing house in Concord. Its
statements are OF such interest that
they are here reproduced,
The question Of legislation regulat-
ing the use Of the pubic highways by
motor vehicles mas for some time re-
eeived the attention Of the members Of
the grange, and as the farmers are the
principal users Of our roads IL Is only
natural that they should be directly
concerned with the preservation Of the
public's right TO the safe use Of the
highways. Following the introduction
OF the automobile instances Of the gross
disregard of this right by the drivers Of
these vehicles became so frequent that
in self-defense the farmers were forced
to seek legislation imposing severe
penalties on the offenders. While the
laws enacted for this purpose have had
some effect in discouraging tine running
OF high-powered vehicles at dangerous
speed, the chief factor in bringing
about better condition OF affairs has
been the attitude Of the majority Of
automobile owners, who have exerted
their influence to secure a proper re.
spect for the rights of all the people
to the use of the roads.
I'm some states the sentiment against
the speed maniaes" has undoubtedly
resulted in the enactment Of unreason-
able laws on this subject, which defeat
their purpose by prescribing regula
tons 80 stringent that they can not
b, enforced. In several states laws
imposing special taxes, and otherwise
discriminating against automobiles,
have intsrfered with the orderly use Of
the highways by citizens Of other
states.
while the grange has always in
sisted, and will insist. that the road
question is not only farmers question
but frat Of ALL question OF the COM
n,sreial use Of the highways, their use
for pleasure or travelling being second
airy to the transportation OF the farm
er's crops to market. it must BE- recog-
nited that the motor vehicle is per-
manent feature Of modern life, and
that the owners of these vehicles have
the right to the use of our roads, sub
jeet to such restrictions as will ensure
The rights Of all others. 10 would seem
desirable, therefore, that so far as pos
able legislation for the regulation Of
the automobile should be uniform, so
that the citizen of one state may be
able to travel through other states
without vexatious restrictions or taxes
differing from those provided for in his
own state.
TN this connection ] may refer to
The proposition for a federal license for
automobiles, which has been advocated
at several sessions Of Congress. This
matter was submitted to the grange at
file Good Roads and Legislation Con
ycntion, held AZ Buffalo, July us Of
this year. and / would suggest that an
opportunity be given the advocates of
this legislation, through their counsel,
20 present at an open meeting Of this
body the grounds on which they seek
TO secure the enactment of law for
This purpose.
