Sounds to Be Photographed.

Cleveland, O.-Prof. Dayton c. Mil
Ter OF the Case School OF Applied Sci
ence here says he has discovered a
means of photographing sound. By
the use Of his newly perfected device
he believes it will be possible to dis
tinguish in films the difference be-
tween the tones of a human voice and
the tones of a musical instrument.
In his investigation Prof. Miller has
used harmonic analyZer, an instru-
ment made in Switzerland. which sep
arates sound waves into their compo-
nent parts, determining whether a GER
tain photographed sound wave was
made by flute. bell, a violin, or
other musical instrument
1t Is Prof. Miller's purpose to tabu-
late the results Of his experiments, q
labor that will require several years
time.

AIR TO MAKE ELECTRICITY
After Seventy Years Of Toll an In.
ventor Aged 81 Perfects a New
Kind of Windmill.

Trenton, N. J.-After 10 years of
struggle on an invention, John Dawes
of Jackson's Mills. Ocean county. has
completed his life's work and believes
he can save the state millions of dol
lars. He has obtained a patent for a
windmill to generate electrical power.
Although 81 years old, the inventor
travelled to Trenton during the day
from his home. He visited the capitol
to explain his patent to Gov. Fort and
was disappointed when he learned the
executive was away.
Mr. Dawes says he started to work
on the patent when he was boy and
declares he never expected to be an
old, gray haired, gray bearded man
when his invention was complete.
Il hope" he said, that the governor
will make no such fool bargain as is
being talked of in the matter of water
storage. BY my invention can sup.
ply water to every city and village in
New Jersey for 100000. The wind
will drive my mills and produce cleo.
trical power-generatingi it out of the

Mr.. Dawes invention as IAN improve.

include a series of wind wheels, ar.

gether that the power of all the wheels
may be harnessed and transmitted to

The aged inventor says he has re-.
fused several offers for the invention.
He says he can run car or train from
the Atlantic to the Pacific by means
Of the invention. Il can store 10000.
horsepower of electricity at any point
at an eighth the cost of steam. My
