PROGRESS MADE IN ORIENT
Augustus D. Curtis Tells Electric
Club of Advance Made In EIec-
tricity in Far East.

The advanced stage of electricity
seen in the orient was one Of the
greatest surprises l ever had. espe-
cially the progress noted in Japan.
Even in remote places seldom reached
by tourists we found electric plants
with the most modern improvements.
and. though the machinery was most
ly American make or American type.
the orientals had mastered all Of the
details of operation"
This statement prefaced an address
made by Augustus d. Curtis at the
Electric clubs first fall meeting, held
at Chicago the other day. He recent
ly returned from an oriental trip.
Being an electrician and interested
in electricity" said Mr. Curtis. lit
was only natural for me to investi.
gate the progress made in these couu-
tries. and it is truly wonderful. In
America opticians and Illuminating
engineers only recently have worked
out tho problem of indirect lighting
that is. the system of reflection from
the lamp to the ceiling and then down
and imagine my surprise to find
much of this lighting in the orient.
especially in the larger cities OF ia
pan.

RECORD KEPT BY TELEPHONE
Photograph so Arranged That CONVEX
sation Over Wire May Be Repro
duced When Desired.

A reproach which has often been
raised against the telephone Is that
1t leaves no trace whatever of the con-
versation transmitted. Thus, tele-
phone conversation can never figure in
law suit 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that for some time past efforts
have been made to devise an appar-
atus by means of which a permanent
record can be kept of the words
spoken over the telephone, and the
monograph has often been thought
of in this connection. According to
a note reproduced in La Nature from
L'Elettricista, Prof. P. Perrotti has
just scored a success in this direction
The telephone receiver is composed OF
two loud speaking telephones; one OF
these is furnished with the usual
mouthpiece; the other is connected
with the vibrating membrane of a
Pathe photograph. The current re
quired for this telephone is little
greater than for ordinary installments
The monograph record can be made
to reproduce the speech in the usual
manner

Gases Ana,vzed.

Sir ]. ]. Thomson say that by means
of the positive electric rays the gases
present in a vacuum tube can be
chemically analysed. and this analysis
will show not only whether an ele-
ment. say oxygen. is present, but also
in what form 1t occurs. and whether
there are allotropic notifications
such as ozone. present In practice
the rays are subjected simultaneously
to the influence of electric and mag
netic fields, and the reflections are re-
corded geographically By this
method much smaller quantities OF
matter can be detected than by the
present chemical methods. and tran
silent phases in the processes OF chem
zeal combination are revealed.

"Genevieve," says James, his deep
voice trembling a bit, "Genevieve,

Very well, James," whispered back
Genevieve, "and only wonder how /
waited as patiently as did for you to

James laughed bit then-just a
little, low, pleasant laugh like the
tone you get from a viol when you
pet it nicely-a laugh that exactly
matched the tremble in his voice
when he said he wanted Genevieve.
Very much, oh, very much, James
wanted Genevieve. For James was

maybe year or two older.
Laugh at them-do! Giggle and
smirk and say, There's no fool like
an old fool"
You ought to be slapped on the
wrist. Two people of forty can be the
very happiest two people in all this
big, wide world. I'm perfectly sure
you don't expect the welded Genev-
ieve and James of forty to be tired
of each other and not to care for any
kisses, thu : you? Because if you do,
you are simply undermining the very
foundations Of the great American
home. And besides, 1t isn't true.
James had once been in love with
Genevieve. Away back in those days
when he was slim young and she
was the sauciest girl he ever saw
and the sweetest-James had been
very badly in love with Genevieve.
But he had been afraid to tell her so,
or too slow, or just careless, or he
didn't have enough money or spme-
thing equally stupid. So he said never
word to Genevieve about 1t. Then
It is very likely that he was afraid
Genevieve hadn't cared even tiny
bit for him. Because James was a
modest youth. Yes, there are too few
of them in the world-worse luck.
Genevieve will never tell whether
she knew a thing about it or not-in
that old time when she wore little
white frocks and pinned apple BIOS
SONS under her white chin and looked
like bunch of apple blossoms her
self. Genevieve wears little white
frocks still on the warm summer

SONS. Though she will tuck bunch
of violets into her belt or cuddle a

So Genevieve will never tell wheth-
er she knew about James She just

Peasant Had Lonq Walk.

A French peasant the other day
found himself the hero or villain of q
motor adventure, of which he is likely
to say but little. An artist, an advo-
cate, and a doctor set out from Dion
for Chalon-surSaone. On the way
the artist was struck with a stone
thrown by the peasant. The car pulled
up, and the man, who had taken to
fight, was pursued and captured. The
motorists did not chastise the offend
er, but lifted him into the motor, de.
prived him of his money and watch,
coat and vest. They then put on full
speed, and did not stop until 80 kilo-
meters (about 81 miles) had been COW
cred. Then they put down the pea

home, and intimated that, possibly, he
would think the walk preferable to be
