SINGS DUETS WITH HIMSELF

German physicians are trying 10
discover the mystery of a man with
a double voice. His normal voice Is
a baritone OF wide range. but In sing
ing he is able to accompany himself
in a higher key The Berliner' XII
nische Wochenschrift says that DR..
Schreier introduced this man at re-
cent meeting of the Berlin Laryngo-
logical society, the members of which
examined him, without being able TO
throw any light on this human duet.
In demonstrating his faculty he eings
an air first In the normal, then in the
double voice. Unfortunately when
the laryngoscope is in position for
study the double singing is produced
with great difficulty and the artist
would not permit the use of cocaine.
The possession of the double voice
makes II easy for him to initiate vari-
GUS instruments. AS this class of
mimetics and also ventriloquists have
already been studied profitably with
photography the thought lay near to
use this diagnostic resource in the
present subject The skiagrams
showed enough to suggest TO Schreier
that the double voice was produced
by the simultaneous action of the
vocal cords and epiglottis. Others
have suggested that the extra voice
might have been produced with the
soft palate or ventricular bands 1t
is highly improbable that II can be
produced by the vocal cords alone
AS the vibrations cannot be seen their
causation must remain conjectural.

BILLIONS OF MATCHES USED

II has been estimated that for each
minute of time the civilized nations
OF the world strike 1900. 900 matches.
This is said to be the average for
every minute OF the "a hours OF the
day. Fifteen hundred billion Is the
number for the entire year. and those
persons who live under the American
flag are charged with the consumption
of one-half of this amount Small and
insignificant as It Is, the match de-
mands as much attention In the choice
OF woods involved as any other for
est product. Only the choicest por
tions OF the best trees are suitable
Sapwood and knotty or crossgrained
wood will not do. Instead OF being a
by.product, the little match is turned
out in mills where the by-products are
bulky objects like doors. sash. shin,
giles, sidings, posts and cordwood. The
pines. linden. aspen. white cedar, pop
lar, birch and willow are the most
suitable match timbers.

1t was a demand from the Russian
Government for the extradition of a
so-called Baron s. on charge of
forging bonds, swindling, and bribing
state officials.
It meant transportation for life
The baron's nerves nearly gave way
when this news was communicated to
him. But he made violent effort,
and, turning to me said:
Il have a request to make of you,
Monsieur Goron. Do what you can for
that poor wretch Boris. He has moth.
ing to do with this Russian business.
| trust you understand me?"
1t spoke well for the man that in
this hour of trouble he thought of the
humble companion whose ruin he had
worked.
Things altogether underwent an odd
change. 1t was decided not to proceed
against the baron In connection with
the jewel robbery, as 1t was doubtful
whether, owing to Madame H-'s at
utude, a conviction could be obtained.
After the usual formalities the baron
was handed over to the Russian Off
Gals, and twenty years transportation
fell to his share.
Boris was released from custody
after a severe admonition. l never
again came across him.
