METHODS GROWING
Remarkable Success Here At
tracing Attention.


Prof. James Munyon, the health ex-
pert, had strenuous time yesterday
People seemed to flock to him on ac-
count of his remarkable success, and
it was difficult matter to get within
speaking distance of him. Several
persons expressed themselves forcibly
in explaining the reasons for their be-
lief of the man. One young woman,
who is very prominent in the city,
said:
81 have been suffering for years
with combination of stomach troub-
les, catarrh and other troubles, with
general debility. / could hardly do
anything at times on account of the
pain in my stomach, side and chest.

my stomach, palpitation of the heart.
and feeling of weakness that could
not understand. Headaches most of
the time, with extreme nervousness,

night for something to eat in order to

come over me.

suggested to me, but laughed at the
idea that they could do me any good,
as had tried so many doctors and rem
edies without relief. / was tired,
nervous and worn out all the time.

treatment could help me, but when ]

EDISON MADE ELECTRIC BUG
Curious Little Invention Overcame
Difficulty Of Getting Wires
Through Long Pipes.

Edison. the inventor, has been well
called a wizard. and one OF his most
astonishing inventions was an electric
bug. He conceived plan to put cleo
trio wires in gas-pipes. and the only
difficulty was to get the wires through
the pipes.
After studying the matter, Edison
said to a fellow electrician: Il believe
can make a bug that will drag a
wire through every foot OF pipe in
New York city, II 1t becomes neces-
sary"
Make a bugi" exclaimed his com
panion. thinking the inventor had lost
his mind. What In the world do you
mean?"
We'll. I'll make bug" said the In
ventor. confidently. that Will go
where send him. and drag a wire.
too"
A few days afterward, he laid a
curiously constructed thing on table
in the Office. before time to go to
work
Ii was his gas-pipe bug. II was con-
structed thus: minute electro-mag-
net. carrying behind II a fine. fnsulat-
ed wire pawl Now. observe-every
time the circuit was closed through
the magnet the armature was attract.
ed, the pawl clutched the sides OF a
piece OF gas-pipe provided for the oc-
casion. and the magnet behind was
drawn toward the armature about the
sixteenth of an inch. When the cir
cult was opened. the armature
reached forward ready to take a sec
ond step. Thus at every closing OF
the circuit the little bug advanced one
step. dragging the wire behind.

Students Drink to Excess Beer
Rules at Princeton-Columbia
Is Worst of All.

Chicago-R. T. Crane, millionaire
iron manufacturer, made public Sum
day an arraignment of the big uni
versities of the country. He charges
alarming prevalence of drinking and
gaming among the students. Column
bia he ranks the worst, but conditions
at Harvard, Princeton and Cornell, he
declares, are almost as bad.
Of the students at Harvard, 80 per
cent drink in their freshman year; 95
per cent in their senior year, and Is
per cent of them go irrevocably to the
bad, according to the report of an in
vestigation which Mr.. Crane caused
to be made.
Mr.. Crane has spent much time and
money investigating the results of
higher college education So bitter
is he in consequence that he declares
colleges do more harm than good.
IAN outsider can scarcely realize
the amount of drinking that goes on
in the clubrooms of the colleges, -
says Mr.. Crane, in his report. RE
ferring particularly to Harvard, l es-
innate the number of students who
combine in mild degree wine and
bad women, 65 per cent; who drink
heavily, 35 per cent, and who have
two or three bats a year also, as per

mind drink even more than Harvard
