saving Mr.. Walkers life. as the poison
he took almost invariably kills unless
treatment is administered within a
very short time.
They decided. however, to do what
they could, and corps of nurses were
summoned. Mr.. Walker, although in

outward appearance Of cheerfulness in
order that his wife and their little son
might not be overcome by the blow.
For six days the fight lasted. Mr..
Walker steadily growing weaker.

Double Transmitter Help In Long
Distance Talking.
Great things are claimed for a new
style of telephone which recently was
put on exhibition at the Academy Of
Sciences in Paris. The new instru-
ment is the invention Of DIR. Jules
Glover, a French physician.
While investigating the question why
the sounds of the voice were imper-
fectly transmitted, as rule. over long
distance telephone wires DR.. Glover
was struck by the fact that vocal
sounds, coming from the larynx, on
arriving at the palate were split up
into two streams. one of which emerg-
ed ut the mouth, the other at the nose
An ideal transmitter would take up
both streams of sound equally. but 1t
was found that this was by no means
the case with ordinary instruments
DR.. Glover therefore devised a queer
looking receiver with an extra micro
