DOGS BARK LIVES AFTER HIM.
French Scientist Makes Dead Canine
Howl by Electricity.

PARIS. November 24.-Dr. Manage has
demonstrated before the Academy OF
Science that a dogs bark does not die
with the dog.
In the course of experiments on the
larynx and in voice production he dis
covered that the application of a feeble
electric current to certain muscles of the
throat after the lungs had been artificially
inflated caused dead dog to bark in a
likelike manner. He multiplied the ex-
perimentS and produced bowls.
Dr.. Marage now asserts that he is able
to produce either barks or howls by
changing the current. He deduces from
this the probability that the so-called
loss of voice by singers may be counter
acted by electricity applied to restore
muscular activity to the larynx.
He has not experimental in this direc-
ton as yet.

The products of Topeka factories

1t would seem that Topeka people

sold In Topeka by Topeka mills is too
small a per cent of the total output
of these mills to be estimated. To-

east of Kansas which is not a user
of Topeka made flour. Likewise the
butter used in Topeka is only drop

total amount manufactured here. The

times, however, very large quantities
of it are shipped to foreign countries.

One Of our newest factories and one
of our Invest factories In Topeka is the
Road Supply and Metal works. The
Ingot iron culvert manufactured by
them is relatively new. but it is the
neatest, most durable and effective

Topeka road crossings might be i'm

All up-to-dae modern farmers are
