PH0TOGRAPHONE BOTH
CAMERA AND GRAMOPHONE
Consul at Stockholm Describes
Swedish Invention

Writing from Stockholm Consul Cen
eral Edward D. Winslow describes a
new invention in Sweden which repro
duces both action and sound:
In the photographers the larger
metallic trumpets which caused the hol-
low metallic sound are entirely dis
pensed with. No receiver is needed
for the speaker: only very small
celluloid tube, like the one used at
the telephone, is placed in the front
Tor the convenience of the speaker.
put this tube is easily dispensed with.
On the left side behind the wall is
placed an electric lamp. From this
the light passes through two cuvettes
Through which water is runninsl
which absorb the heat, and then
through the wall and system of lenses
seen in front of the tube HAVING.
passed through these the ray of light
strikes and is reflected in a mirror
fastened on the membrane behind tbe
tupe, is thrown on rotating sensi-
tive plate, and finally draws the sound
curve on this negative. This original
negative is developed, and the sound
curve transferred to plates of ebony.
From these the sound is again repro
duced as in the gramophone In this
way the human voice and all other
sounds are perfectly reproduced with
out any disturbing secondary sounds
SO perfect is the reproduction of
sounds with the photographone that
the inventor can distinguish between
and actually read on the curve the
dlfferent letters of the alphabet. and
the Photographic plate is so sensitive
that the smallest variations in the
voice can be studied. The same words
uttered in the same language, but by
another individual. appear different in
the photographene script
The great Importance of this method
for obtaining linguistical and musical
records. is evident. This invention is
OF high' value, not only for the stu
dent of linguistics and phonology. but
for the general ethno1ogist who needs
to obtain kinematographic reproduc-
tons of dances or other ceremonies II
has always been difficult to combine the
gramophone with the kinematograph.
because it has not been possible to OBJ
tain the actions and movements at the
same time the speech or song is given.
With the photographone it is possible
at one time to photograph the action
as well as the music and song and to
reproduce both at one time.
The photographone records can be re-
produced ad infinitum, and IL the orig
inal music or song should not be strons
enough to fill a large concert hall at

creased as desired On account of the
immense volume OF sound that can be
reproduced with the photographone 1t

be of great value for replacing the fog
sirens in lighthouses. Instead of the
inarticulate howl which the fog sirens
send out in the night, and which easily
can be confounded with the fog horns
of other vessels, this new photogra-
phonic fog horn will call out the name
of the lighthouse for miles over the
ocean. For work in the field the in
ventor replaces the electric with solar
light.

PHYSICIANS INCREASE
FASTER THAN POPULATION
German Doctors Greatly Out
strip Prospective Patients

In transmitting the following infor-
nation, Consul General T. st. John
Gaffney of Dresden reports that medical
statistics show that physicians have in
creased out of all proportion to the
increase of the population in many
parts of Germany;
The percentage increase in popula-
ton and physicians from 1883 to 1903
was as follows: Province of Branden-
burg, population So per cent, doctors
302 per cent Posen, population IL per
cent, doctors los per cent? Berlin, pop
ulation So per cent, doctors 155 per
cent. The following shows the number
of the population to each physician:
Berlin, 776; Posen, 3,246; West Prussia,
3,102; Reuss, 3,725.
In Saxony in 1906 there were 2,257
doctors as compared with 99S in 1888;
there was one doctor to 2,016 inhabi-
tants in 1906, against one to 3,0S1 in
1888 The increase of the population
was 1876 per cent, that of the doctors
1858 per cent.
There is a much smaller increase in
chemists. In Brandenburg. where the
increase of the population was So per
cent from 1888 to 1903, the number of
chemists increased, only 48 per cent
In Posen the increase of the population
stands at II per cent and the chemists

The statistics of the hospitals for
1906 gave the percentage of / hospital
to 27.115 people in Berlin; in Saxe-Alt-

Thomas in bringing down big three
forked buck near Point San Pedro with
her 25-35 caliber rifle is the talk of
Marin county.
Miss Thomas. who is the daughter of
Deputy Sheriff D. Thomas. has handled
a gun since childhood. Early this
morning she started out with her father
over the hills near Point San Pedro.
When they reached a deep canyon
where Thomas had seen deer in the
past the dogs were turned loose and
soon picked up a warm trail. Miss
Thomas took up her position on a path
leading to stream, while her father
climbed to the other side of the gulch
After waiting with her rife in readi-
ness for about 20 minutes the girl
heard the baying of the dogs almost
directly below her. Then followed the
splash of waters as the f1eeting animal
forded the stream. Miss Thomas
crouched behind a rock and cooked the
rifle. With a crash of branches the big
buck thrust his horns through the fo-
liage and burst into view. He came
straight toward the waiting girl Miss
Thomas held her ground. The deer saw
her while still a considerable distance
away. and started to turn back. But
the hounds were at his heels, and he
dared not retreat. Lowering his ant
lers he dashed up the trail. as though
to hurl the plucky girl from his path.
But Miss Thomas calmly leveled her
gun and fired. The bullet struck the
animal in the shoulder and pierced his
heart.
When Thomas arrived he found his
daughter sitting beside her handsome
trophy cleaning her gun, as though
nothing had happened. She holds the
distinction of killing the first and big
gest buck in Marin county so far re-
ported this season.
Three bucks were also Killed by a

/ New Haven. April 6.-Attorney General
Wickersham to-day outlined to the Yale
undergraduates plans that they should
carry out If they intend 10 enter politics.
He said in part:
The most important thing for a col
lege man who intends to enter politics
Is TO acquire a complete knowledge Of
the history OF his own country. This
does not mean simply an acquaintance
with the drum and trumpet history" as
Green calls ii. but a thorough knowledge
of the political history or the United
States. In addition to this. l would ad-
wise the study of modern Languages, es-
pecially Of Spanish. The country. as a
whole, does not seem to realize that we
now control one OF the largest Spanish
speaking communities, and have rela-
lions OF growing Importance with many
others, and that It is with these same
Spanish-speaking people that some Of the
most important problems OF the future
will have 10 deal. A study OF economies
Is also important. as a thorough ground
work in that branch can be obtained IN
college. which. combined with the prac-
great service.
In any case man should be familiar
with the Constitution OF the United
States and that OF his own State. Those
who cannot afford to spend any time
studying law should take course on
government while in college.
often young man does not know
how 10 go about entering politics. He
should learn all about his own com
munity; what officials he can vote for.
when and where. II he belongs TO a
party he should find out about the pri-
mary elections and the various nomina-
tons. He should get to know the other
young men OF his district, without dis
tinction as TO whether they are IN MS
own class Of life or not From then on
his career would develop according 20 his
ability"
