ROOM THAT is sOUND-PROOF
Remarkable Chamber at University of
Utrecht That Was Constructed
for Scientific Experiments.

The Physiological institute of the
University of Utrecht possesses one Of
the most remarkable rooms in the
world, a chamber about seven and
half feet square, which is said to be
absolutely nGisCless, as far as the
entrance of sounds from outside is con-
cerned
This room is situated on the top
story of laboratory building, and is
an inside room, but so arranged that
it can be ventilated and inundated
with sunshine The walls, floors and
ceiling each consist of half a dozen
layers of different substances, with air
spaces and interstices filed with
sound-deadening materials.
Some persons when in the room ex-
perience a peculiar sensation in the
ears. While every effort has been
made to exclude sounds that are not
wanted, of course the object of con-
structing this singular room was to
experiment with phenomena connected
with sound. Some of the sounds en-
ployed are made in the room itself;
others are introduced from outside by
means of copper tube. which is
plugged with lead when not in use.

"stars and Stripes" Speech Arouses
Resentment Against Reciprocity.
Ottawa. Ont-The continued talk of
annexation. kept alive by the oppOsi.
ton journals. Is causing resentment
in Canada. and. according to some OF
the leading supporters Of the govern,
ment. may jeopardize the reciprocity
measure now before Parliament.
While the liberals have accepted
the message of President Taft to Rep
resentative Mccall as the true senti-
ment of the Washington administra-
ton. the wave of Feeling that has
been felt in the dominion cannot be
ignored and 1t is understood that Sir
Wilfrid Lauricr early next week will
make a statement that will set at rest
forever the idea that the annexation
of Canada by the United is possible.

.eoaIjzino Indian MARRIAGES.

The house judiciary committee has
found that the job of attempting to
legalize Indian marriages isn't going
to be an easy one. Before passing
upon a bill which proposes to do that
the committee will send a subcommit-
tee to the Omaha and Winnebago res
ervations to investigate Indian mar
riages. Permission to do this was
granted by the house. Indians on the
reservation are possessors of consid-
cradle property, and the proper ad
ministration of it in the case of dead
Indians is in something of a tangle.

appears before the committee or at

must register as a lobbyist. Under

must register if he is paid for his Ser.
