WORD RECORDING MACHINE
Die,asraph Made Photograph by New
Invention.


A self-recording dictagraph, which
could not only overhear a conversation
in a room where its presence was not
suspected, but could make full rec
ord Of the conversation, whispers and
all, on a Photographic cylinder locat-
ed some distance away, i5 being exhi-
bited by K. M. Turner, the inventor of
the dictagraph, at his offices in West
42d street
The secret of how to build such a
self-recording dictagraph has been
sought diligently ever since the little
instrument that made Detective Burns
famous was placed upon the market
eight years ago. In his cases in court
Burns has been forced up to the pres
ent, to submit Photographic notes, the
authenticity Of which he has had to
prove.
For eight years Mr.. Turner worked
on the invention. For over seven and
a half of them he sought to connect the
diaphragm Of the dictagraph direct
ly to the needle Of a Photographic roll
but got no results. Four weeks age
he began experimenting with an air
cushion between the diaphragm and
the needle, instead Of direct connection
and at once obtained a full and natur.
al reproduction Of the voice.
In Mr.. Turner's laboratory at Flush
ing q conversation in room supplied
with a dictagraph was recorded In
another room four days ago. The ex-
periments conducted this week were
the first to which the public has been
invited.
Mr.. Turner explained that the new
invention, as applied to business
means that 1t is now possible for q
business man to sit at his desk and
dictate his letters in his ordinary tone
of voice and have them taken down or
phonoeraphic rolls 10 feet or 1000 fee,
away. He might even remain at home
If he had direct wire connection with
his office, and do his debating in his
bed room or his library. The only limit
of the self-recording dictagraph, Mr.
Turner insisted, was that now recog.
nized in the transmission Of conversa-
tions by telephone.
When a Times reporter called at Mr.
Turner's office, he was preparing tc

A little further suspense, and Penn

Margaret's composure now broke
down, and she began crying quietly.
Pemberton supposed the excitement
had been too much for her nerves, but
his friend, who was keener to read ef-
fects, left him to minister to her wants,
and with hurt pride and wounded
feelings lit a cigar and paced up and
down the platform, wondering moodily

CATS FoREsEE DEATH
London Writer Aseribes Mysterious
Instinct to Feline.

Has a cat insight into the future? ?
Can 1t presage wealth or death? / am
inclined to believe that certain cats
can, at all events, foresee the advent
Of the latter; and that they do this IN
the same manner as the shark, crow.
owl, jackal, hyaena, ETC., namely, by
their abnormally developed sense OF
smell. My own and other peoples ex-
perience has led me to believe that
when a person Is about to die. some
kind Of phantom. maybe the spirit or
some one closely associated with the
sick person, or, maybe spirit whose
special function Is to be present on
such occasions, Is in close proximi-
ty to the sick or injured one, waiting
to escort his or her soul into the world
of shadows-and that certain cats
scent it's approach.
Therein then-in this wonderful
propriety smell-lies one Of the secrets
to the cats mysterious powers-it mas
the psychic faculty Of scent-a scent
ing ghosts Some people, too, nave
in the north of England, rustic wit
ness gave It in her evidence that she
was sure a tragedy was about to nap
pen because she "smelt death In the
house." and 1t made her very uneasy.
Cats possessing this peculiarly are
affected in a similar manner-they are
uneasy. Before a death in house, l
have watched a cat show gradually IN
creasing signs Of uneasiness. 1t has

gone to the door, shifted the atmos-
phere, thrown back its head and NEW
ed in a low, plaintive key, and shown
the greatest reluctance to oeing alone
in the dark.
This faculty possessed by certain
cats may in some measure explain
certain Of the superstitions respecting
them, Take, for instance. that OF cats
crossing ones path predicting death.
The cat Is drawn to the spot be-
cause II scents the phantom or death
and cannot resist its magnetic attrac-
ton.
From this it does not follow that the
person who sees the cat Is going to
die, but that death is overtakins some
one associated with that person; and
II Is In connection with the latter thai
the spirit Of the grave Is present, em
ploying as a medium of prognostica-
tion the cat, which has been given the
psychic faculty Of smell that 1t might
be so used.
But although I regard this theory
as feasible. I do not attribute to cats
with the same degree OF certainty the
power to presage good fortune. simply
because I have had no experience OF
| it myself. Yet, adopting the same
| lines Of argument, see no reason why
cats should not prognosticate good as
we'll as evil.-London Standard.

TARIFF PROTESTS
Likely to Come Quite Sharply From
the South.

the South.
Not yet has any serious or organized
protests against the tariff bill prepared
by the ways and means committee Of
the lower house Of congress been
made in this city. But when the
measure reaches the senate there may
be earnest protests voiced by the rep
resentatives of New York manufactur-
ing interests against some features Of
the bill.
Information from many parts Of the
south, however, justifles the suspicion
that the most earnest and persistent
protests against the measure as 1t IL
now written are those from that part
Of the country. Certainly, II the Views
Of the south are fairly well represent
ed by considerable part Of the news
paper press, this proposed tariff has
occasioned greater antagonism in that
section than anywhere else. A very
common editorial expression Is that
the reduction in the tariff upon raw
sugar, to be followed three years later
by placing sugar upon the free list,
means the humiliation Of the sugar
raising industry in the south.
One comment is to the effect that
placing sugar on the free list will add
to the profits of the refiners and will
ers.
One Of the leading newspapers Of
the south severely criticises the plac-
ing Of meats upon the free list with
intent to lessen the cost Of meat prod
ucts to the consumers because even at
present prices, farmers have not found
that raising Of cattle and other meat
animals is sufficiently profitable to
justify the production Of them.
Up to this time the cotton manu-
facturers Of the south have been far
more generally concerned about the
textile schedules in the newly prepared
bill than are the cotton manufactur-
ers Of New England. The cotton man
ufacturers Of the south have expressed
great concern about the proposed tex
tile schedule. They favor reasonable
downward revision, but are unani-
mously opposed, apparently, to a sud
den change from a tariff of high pro-.
lection to one which is practically free
trade, which would in all probability
seriously threaten cotton manufac-
turing industries in the south.
AS there is as yet no very earnest
protest in New England against the
tariff bill, and in the middle states
not much more than superficial COM
ment. From the wonderful develop
ed manufacturing region Of the sec
ton Of the midwest no distinctive ex-
pressions Of public opinion with re-
spect to the proposed tariff has been
heard in this city. But there is no
doubt that throughout the south q sin
cere feeling Of alarm does prevail.
The more cautious and conservative
Of those who have studied the sub
ject are inclined to think that some Of
this apprehension will be found after
the tariff measure becomes law not
to have been entirely justified, and
there does seem to be sentiment in
favor Of giving the measure fair test,
so that II it be found after such test
that 1t does serious damage to Ameri-
can business and agricultural interests,
then congress can make such amend
ments to the law as may be found
expedient-Holland in the Wall Street

LESSON OF INTEREST
Figures That are Calculated to stasser
Imagination.

Why didn't King Midas, the gold
lover, try to save ten cents week?
says the Chicago Tribune. He could
have given the world q wonderful ex-
ample Of the value OF the saving habit.
BesiGes, he would have left money for
the members of his family alive today.
Midas was one Of the kings Of Phrygia.
AS the Phrygian line was wiped out by
the Cimmerians about $40 B. c., we
may assume he lived about 500 B. c.,
or at least 2,711 years ago.
If King Midas had started In saving
ten cents a week he would have saved
dime, therefore, on each Of the 140,-
$40 weeks This would make him the
neat little sum Of $14,097.20. Although
not a fortune in these days, $14,097.20
Is quite a fair sum to save by giving
up one cigar week. But there Is more
to follow.
In those days of political upheaval
and commercial uncertainty, capital
investment than 1t would be today. The
risk was much greater. Though we
have no actual records Of Phrygtan
rates Of usury, II Is fair to assume that
the Midas account drew ten per cent
interest compounded annually for at
least the first 1000 years, or until the
commercial world had reached a COM
paratively recent stage OF development
Beginning, therefore. 500 years be-
Beginning, therefore, 500 years be-
fore Christ, Midas put into his savings
ten cents every week. At the end of
the first ten weeks he had dollar. The
interest on one dollar for one year is
not great, even at ten per cent, but II
adds another dime to the ten already
saved. At the end of the second year
there is something more than two
dimes to be added.
At the end Of the first hundred years
the accumulation on the first dollar, at
ten per cent, compounded, would be
$13,780.66. Thus Midas. in the year TOO
B. c., would have had $13,780.66, re-
sulting from his first ten weeks saw
ings. The compounding goes on through
the next century so that at the end of
200 years, in the year 600 B. c., Midas
his first dollar.
At the end of the next hundred
years, or in 500 B. c., the results from
those first ten dimes put away would
be $2,619,038, ,149, ,100.63. Continuing this
compounding through the following g.
All years 1t is not complicated math-
ematical problem to arrive at the sum
Midas would have today from his first
one dollar saved.
Remember, moreover, tnis sum, Wnlcn
would be up among the uncountable
trillions Of dollars, would represent the
increment Of only one dollar put away
by Midas. Midas himself, busily saw
ing dimes, would have started new
series of dollar pyramids every ten
weeks. At the end Of the first years
saving he would have started five and
half of these stupendous fortunes. To
compare any one Of these with the
$14097.20 he would have saved IL he
had received no interest, certainly rep
resents the interest habit In favor

1t is gratifying to note that the day
on which the pioneer OF gynecology
saw the light has been remembered in
that severely scientific nation, Ger
many The great regard In which men
who have accomplished things for the
worlds betterment are held in that
country has contributed materially to
the renown and prosperity Of Its peo-
pie. Our republican simplicity has al
times revolted at what is euphemistic-
ally called hero worship. It Is a signi-
ficant fact, nevertheless, that the
achievements Of its citizens are the
most valuable assets Of country. Re-
garded even In this unsentimental
light the courage and genius Of our
Marion Sims In originating an entirely
new branch Of surgery, deserve to be
commemorated and to be held up to
the present generation as an example
for emulation.
]. Marion Sims, a native of Lancan-
ter, 8. c., emigrated to Montgomery.
Ala, in order to enlarge his field of
practice. There he devised method
Of surgical procedure for the repair OF
serious injuries which in that preanti-
septic day was made possible only by
the silk suture. So fruitful was this
and other work Of DR.. Sims for the
welfare Of suffering women that his
fame spread to Europe, and he was
the first American physician consulted
by royalty. Those whose happy privi-
lege 1t was to know this grand man
personally, were not surprised that he
rapidly became the valued adviser of
the nobility. In him were discerned all
those elements Of character which are
the attribute Of true nobility; simplici-
ity almost childlike, sympathy almost
feminine, courtesy without ostenta-
ton; the charming manner, the kindl-
ing eye. the cordial handgrasp bespoke
a great soul, as did his deftness betok-
en- the great surgeon.
The Muenchner Medizinische Wo-
chenschrift in a recent issue published
an excellent portrait Of DR.. Sims with
an appreciative sketch Of his life, con-
cluding that America is entitled to
honor in the history Of operative gyne-
cology. The names Of Mcdowell, Mott,
Battey, Emmett, Bozeman, Edebohls
