FLAW IN ALMOST EVERY lNVEN-
TON MADE.
Perfection Long Of Attainment, Though
the Idea May Be There for
Development.

Officials Of the patent Office at
Washington have time and again ex
pressed doubt as to whether there Is
such a thing as a completed invention.
To the popular mind 1t would seem
as II the sewing machine or the steam
engine had been so long subjected to
the tlreless scrutiny of persons bent
on suggesting an improvement that
perfection would have been reached
years ago., and hence that these d.
visions OF the patent office would have
found their occupation gone.
Such. however. is not the AS
many important patents are now being
issued on the steam engine as at any

SCIENCE
AND
PLAYING THROUGH A VIOLIN
photographic Attachment Produces
Perfect Tones by Ingenious Do
vice Of Wisconsin Man.

Another photographic attachment
and n that is more ingenious than
most. Is that devised by a Wisconsin
man and shown in this Illustration.
1t consists of SO arranging a violin on
top Of the other instrument to produce
perfect violin tones from the phono-
graph record. An arm projecting from
the photograph box holds the neck Of
the fiddle, which rests face downward
over the record. The neck Is pivoted
on this rest SO that the fiddle can turn
about. Camping forks engage the
bridge of the violin and a stylus Is Sc
cured to the bridge. When the record
revolves the stylus communicates the
notes through the horn. and. as may
be imagined. the tone is vastly more
realistic than when produced by the
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-09-30

Paper Drinking Cups.

The Pennsylvania railroad, in ac-
cordance with the request of the state
board of health last August, will be
the second line running through New
Jersey to begin the use of individual
drinking cups in its stations and
trains. 1t is understood that paper
drinking cups of some description will
be furnished before summer begins in
all passenger cars and waiting rooms
where water is provided.
The board of health sent this resolu-
tion to all railroads last August:
WHEREAS, 1t is admitted by sani-
tarians generally that the public
drinking cup, as it is com monty used
on railroad trains and in railroad
stations, is menace to public
health in transmitting infectious
AID contagious diseases, and
+" WHEREAS, MISUNDERSTANDING drink
ing cups. made OF paratfine paper,
and of other suitable materials, are
now being manufactured at trifing
expense, and are easily procured
therefore, be it
ReSolUed, That the board of health
of>the state of New Jersey hereby con-
demns the common use of the public
drinking cup on railroad trains, and
in railroad stations, as unsanltary and
dangerous to the public health, and
said board hereby recommends that
all railroad companies, whose cars r IN
into or across the state Of New Jersey
discontinue the use of said cups, and
that they furnish individual sanitary
drinking cups to their patrons in
stead.
The Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern was the first road to comply with
the boards S request.

.$5OO,OOO FOR
Halls GROUP
The Franz Halls Family Group
Bought by Otto H. Kahn
Of This Town.
RECORD PRICE A FOR PAINTING

Half million dollars, said to be a
record breaking price for a painting,
was the sum for which Otto II. Kahn,
of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., bought large group, by Franz
Halls, of the painter and his family.
J. Pierpont Morgan bid against Mr..
Kahn. and is said to have offered $780,
600 and 100000 for the painting. The
sale was first announced Friday by
Duveen Brothers, art dealers, at No.
302 Fifth avenue, who imported the
group.
Duveen Brothers bought the picture
in England last summer. For many
years it had been in the collection of
Colonel Warde, OF Westerham, Eng
land. 1t was brought to this country
few months ago and was the first
painting of great note to enter under
the new tariff, which admits works of
art more than fifty years old without
duty Mr.. Kahn has lent his acquisi-
tion to the Metropolitan Museum of
Art, where it was placed on exhibit
tion Friday.
| The picture is eight feet in height
and fifteen in breadth. 1t shows Halls,
his second wife, Lysbeth Renters. his
son and daughter, his negro servant
and a pet dog. The painting is one Of
the few OF Halls which shows land
SC pc background. The figures stand
before mass Of shrubbery, and to the
right is seen stretch of open country,
with the city of Haarlem in the dis
tance.
In 1882 the picture sold for $3.50 in a
/ London auction room. 1t is said that
in the years in which it was in Colonel
| Wardes collection it was shown to the
4 public only once. The work of Franz
Halls has frequently commanded un-
usual prices. Not long after 1870 "Thei
Laughing Cavalier, one of the most
famous of his pictures, was bought in
Paris by Lord Hertford for $4,000.
More recently enormous sums have
4 been paid for his work, and Sl25, 900
was the price paid for canvas which
was sold a few years ago in London.
1t is said that as much as $3.50, 900 has
been paid for transfers, the details Of
which have never been made public.
4 Great sums that have been paid for
pictures are :-Holbein's "Christina
of Denmark" S350,OOO; Velasquez's
"Venus and Cupid, 1925, 600; Gains

New vernon rost onee robbed.

Post Office robbers have started ac-
tivities in this section. After the
offices at Whippany and Rockaway
were tapped last week robbers entered
the New Vernon Office on Tuesday
night and got way with 800 in cash
and stamps. The postmaster there,
William FL. Smith, employed man to
sleep in the building after he had
heard of the other robberies in this
section.
Arthur Potts, the watchman, was
asleep in room over the post office
when the office was burglarized. He
was awakened by the noise but de-
spite the fact ii at a loaded revolver
was at his side he kept to his bed IN
til after the safe had been blown open
and the burglars had got away. He
did not give the alarm until he heard
the burglars drive away in buggy.
The robbers not only took the money
and cash but Mr.. Smiths life and fire
insurance policies and other private
papers, several of which were found
the following morning lying along the
roadside near the post office.
The pocket book taken from the
safe was sent to Postmaster Clarke
this morning from Newark, where it
had been placed in letter box.

In a Hurry to Use sewers.

The Morristown board of sewerage
has made the discovery that some tf
its citizens have not waited until the
sewage disposal plant was completed
before using the sewers but had al
ready connected with the sewers and
were discharging sewage into them.
The principle offender was found tc
be Eney Grupelli, of Flager street,
who had his row of buildings connected
with the sewers. He was promptly
notified by the board to cease using
the sewer at once or workmen would
be sent to stop up his pipe. The board
of health notified him that il the
sewage escaped into the street he
would be held accountable at law
and Mr.. Grupelli at once made The
necessary changes, promising to make
no futher violations of the law.
Mr.. Grupelli was personally not re-
sponsible. He directed his foreman to
remove whatever obstructed the flow
in the pipe, and the foreman finding it
to be the sewer connected up with it,.

Bishop Lawrence, in St. Paul's
church, of Boston, on Friday said:
Z" There is a dangerous class in oul
communities-men and women who
criticize the public administration, say
the officials are corrupt-say they are
nothing but politicians. Yet, they
have been chosen by the people, and
all such critics do nothing toward the
political life but much harm.
7" Let me say that those who are
elected by the people are. on the
whole, as good as, if not better than,
those who have elected them. Every
man is to take his Office at the value
Of what the people have placed it,.
Many politicians in their standards
have been low, and yet they have been
lifted up by the kind of support that
the people have given them. This
support has been strong. and strength
ened by the honesty and frankness of
the critics.
