Woman is not a personality. She

the woman movement, working on
that basis, tries to prove that she is
an equal or superior man, il must
break down. AS long as scientists and
scholars insist on treating the points

Woman has q different nature, a

NOVEL USE FOR MUSIC
MAY BE MADE TO ExTlNGUISH
FIRE is CLAIM.
San Francisco Man Makes the Asser-
tion, and Bases II on Vibration
Theory-Scientists, Unconvinced,
Listen With Respect.

When Charles kellogg of San Fran
cisco announced that he could sing a
IRE out there was scoffing among the
unbelievers. They had heard of this
man before, and knew he could imi-
tate any bird he admired in the wood
land; that he had been able to pro-
cure wonderful pictures of wild ami
mails through the Sierra Mountains,
because he made them completely un-
afraid by his singing; they knew that
serpents had absolutely no terrors for
him. But fire, they argued, has
no life, no mind, therefore it cannot
be hypnotized, tanned or lulled."
Nevertheless, fires are being sung
out" under test conditions.
Fire, says Mr. Kellogg, who denies
all wiZardry, is vibration; and just
as it has been shown in the laboratory
that one vibration may annul, control,
silence another, so the proper one will
still the vibration of fire, and, when
the vibration is stilled, the fire is out.
Mr.. Kellogg makes no claim that
any human voice can sing to quietude
L
-extinguishing vibrations must be of
volume commensurate with those to
be controlled, but he does maintain
that the fire-ighting operation in the
future will be based upon these prin-
-ciples.
According to this theory, one may
live to see giant tuning forks or musi-
cal instruments taking the place of
the fire engines.
Kellogg was born in the California
mountains, where he grew up in close
touch with nature. His ability to re-
produce musically all sounds of
mother earth is phenomenal
Make a few simple little expert
ments in vibration on your own ac-
count. Hold an empty cigar in your
hands in the room where someone is
playing the piano, and every now and
then you will feel that box vibrate.
Try singing in a room where there
are several small stringed instru-
ments and you will be pleased some
times to hear a string sing with you.
The soothing, healing power of
music in treating the insane has
called forth remarks lately. VIII the

lures with tuning fork and pre-
scribe harmonious chords to allay

In preparing vegetables they are in
