PARIS HAS VOCAL LIBRARY.
craphophone Records of Orators and
Sinners Kept For Posterity.

A vocal library is the latest idea In
France. 1t Is being installed in the
Blbliothique Rationale and consists OF
a collection of graphophone records OF
words spoken or sung by great au'
thors, orators. singers and actors. The
library will be equipped with album
dant instruments for the transmission
of recorded sounds to the ears Of Wis
itors.
The new department in the Biblio-
thique Rationale will be called 1.-THE

purpose especially to enrich 1t with the
important literary works Of the pres

Are We approaching Il paper age in

grease and damp. any sort of food can
be put in them. 1t is even possible TO
cook creamed oysters. chicken, etc, In
them. so that individual portions can
come straight from the stove to the
table in paper shells.
There are fancy shapes TO serve jel-
lies and ice creams in. with lace paper
dolies under them. The paper nap
kins and table covers are very fresh
and cool looking for summer, and
those of simple design are not Mt all
expensive. The doilies and center
pieces IN lace design are very fine and
almost as pliable as those of real lace
and linen.
AS for the plates, while at first
thought the idea OF eating off paper
plates does not seem inviting, no one
can object after seeing them. for they.
too. are proof against damp and
grease, and they are very decorative.
These and the service cups are to be

MIGHTY Atoms.

The change which a single decade
has wrought in the general knowledge
of atoms and molecules is not easily
grasped. Attempting to make the mat
ter more clear in a lecture at the Royal
institute, in London, Sir j. Thomson
pointed out that radium represented
the greatest concentration of power
known, breaking up with the emission
of a million times as much energy as
is produced by the combination of an
equal weight of oxygen and hydrogen.
The corpuscles, or atoms, of helium are
