into our internal economy by means
Of the X-rays, so can we gage the
depth Of human affections with the
latest mechanical marvel For some
years past scientists have sought to
achieve this uncomfortable purpose.
From time to time it has been stated
that means had been discovered for
testing the quality. to say, of love. But
at last an invention has been discov-
| cred which is said to practically put
an end to all deception between low

/ exercises over another, and also dis
cover the amount of resistant will a
man or woman possesses, Naturally
| such a machine has its value, but at
best it would be an uncanny thing
to have in the house, and that love-
making is likely to be revolutionized
by it's invention is surely not to be
urged in its favor.
From the beginning of time men
have sworn eternal love, and maids
have believed them, and been deceiv-
ed; women, too, have played fast and
