ton College Found Dead

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Miss Winifred

ern languages at Girton college, Cam

anum under Miss Buyers pillow, and
also three other bottles of 1audanum

was very cheerful when he saw her
last.

Found on Seashore

MARSEILLES, Dec. S.-A terrible
crime has been committed here. man
named Emile Lapierre murdered his
son, IL years old, solely by way of re-
venge against his wife, whom he sus-
pected of unfaithfulness. The father

CHARGE FOR CURE" is
LOSS TO WIESBADEN
Famous Watering Place Has
Disastrous Season

BERLIN. Dec. 3-Thousands of
Americans who have derived benefit
from the cure at the famous South Ger
man watering place. Wiesbaden, will
regret to learn that the town has come
upon bad days. 1t is announced that
the season just closed was nothing
short of disastrous.
Twenty five thousand fewer visitors
than last year came to Wiesbaden, and
widespread economic distress has re-
suited. Scores of hotels. boarding
houses and stores have been forced into
bankruptcy. The residents say that the
newly imposed cure" for which every
visitor to Wiesbaden is now compelled
to pay, is mainly responsible for the
falling off in guests.
The elaborate new KurSaal, erected
four years ago at enormous cost, has
also failed to prove the expected draw
ing card. Wiesbadeners are afraid that
their season, which has hitherto lasted
nearly nine months, will dwindle to a
few weeks in the springtime, when the
kaiser makes his annual visit to his
local castle and attracts attention to
the town.

PHOTOGRAPH OF VOICE

Pocket Cameras Suggested for

PARIS, Dec 3.-voice photography
is the invention Of a French physicist
Doctor Marage. He says that it will

critics.
The sounds strike small disc of In

minutely and exactly reproduced on a.
small mirror. A ray of light is thrown
on the mirror, which reflects the vibra-
tions at various angles. A sensitive
film unwound by clockwOrk receives
the impression OF these reflections The
picture, according to the inventor, will
indicate whether the singers voice be
true, whether his tempo be correct and
whether his method OF breathing be
right.
A true note Is shown by a series Of

WOMAN'S WEAKNESS
Turns TO TRIUMPH
French Writer on Sociology De-
Scribes Evolution of the
Eternal Feminine

PARIS, Dec. 3.-M. Jean Finot a
well known French writer on philos-
ophy and sociology. has contributed a
remarkable article entitled The Death
Of the Eternal Feminine" Finot spec
ulates as to what will become of
woman when she is deprived of those
virtues which made her the desired and
worshiped object of man. VIII she not
lose her feminine qualities and her
charm when she steps into the arena
where men are struggling, he asks, and
will not her transformation doom her
to an irreparable fall from the pedestal
on which man has placed her?
He answers his own question hope
fully. There is, he says, no cause for
alarm:
INCREASE IN SINCERITY
The eternal feminine is changing the
shape and essence; the woman of
politics Will be different from the home
woman, but she will remain woman
all the same. She will be unable to
do without those qualities which make
her charm; she will be compelled to
retain them because love has to remain
triumphant and the race must con-
tinue''
After this introduction Finot faces
the new woman boldly and speaks his
mind about her. Woman's weakness
and her instinct of prevarication, he
says, were her chief characteristics in
the past Like all weak and oppressed
beings, she had to conceal or disguise
her thoughts and to be cunning. That
was her only arm against man and
strength. All this has changed. Woman
has become more and more sincere as
she has ascended the social scale
With the woman of yesterday. how
ever, has disappeared several old world
notions, that of beauty above all others,
says Finot. "She is not less beauti-
full, she has a different beauty. And
this fact is so general that it has
passed unnoticed," for things that affect
all men are seldom perceived by them.
AS for the seriousness of the evolution
the writer has no doubt of that. Moth
Ing" he asserts, will stop the progress
of woman; she is urged on by the un-
conquerable desire to enlarge her life
and increase her happiness"
AGE OF LOVE CHANGES

Also mans ideal has not the same age.
