The Uses of the Dictouraph.

The detective dictograph has been
used for many odd purposes besides
catching criminals.
When Torrey and Alexander, the re-
vivalists, were holding their meetings
in Philadelphia in 1909, there was a de-
mand for seats far beyond the 5000 ca
pacity of the armory in which they
preached. BY request Mr.. Turner in
stalled a dictograph transmitter, sus-
pending it from the ceiling about three
feet above the speakers head and six
feet in front of him. The wires from
this transmitter were connected by a
specially constructed apparatus with
$500 telephones, whose subscribers
heard the service in their homes. At
the same time wires were run to Beth
any church, where horn in the pulpit
gave out the sound to $500 more audi
tors, so that altogether 10000 people
heard the music and the preaching.
The dictograph has been used also to
study the minor activity of Mt. Vesu-
vius between eruptions; to enable man
to hear the sounds made by wild beasts
when undisturbed by men; in the Met
ropolitan opera house and the Hudson
theatre, New York, to permit the man.
ayers to hear the rehearsals on the
stage from their private offices; to en-
able representatives in congress, while
sitting in their rooms in the office
building, to hear the debates on the
floor of the house.-World's Work.

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE.

The average layman has the impress
sion that life insurance Is a die-to-win
proposition, but all who think this way
are mistaken, because II is a fact that
1t is winning proposition whether the
assured lives or dies. The Mutual
Benefit issues policies that guarantee
to pay the assured the face of the pol
icy in cash at the end Of Ten, Fifteen
or Twenty years, II living, or at prior
death, whether that event occurs on
the day the policy Is delivered and
paid for, or on any other day pre-
vious to the end Of the Ten, Fifteen or
Twenty year period. Policies carry
ing this guarantee cost more than a
Ten, Fifteen or Twenty Pay life pol
icy-a life policy being a contract in
which the face or principal sum Is pay
able at death, but under the unique
accelerative endowment plan Of the
Mutual Benefit q life policy Is convert
ed into an endowment and the pre-
MUM Is the same as Is charged on any
other life policy. The only difference
being that instead Of using dividends
to reduce cost they are allowed to ac-
cumulate. The plan and its advan-
tages cannot be satisfactorily explain
ed within the space that is available,
and If you are interested. and you
should be II you are not, If you will
indicate a desire for further intOrma-
ton it will be my pleasure to fur
