SOLVES THE SPHINX RIDDLE.
Huge Figure is the Tomb of Menes,
First Historical Pharaoh.

+. To Prof. George Andrew Reisner,
a native of Indiana and Psychologist
of Harvard University, belongs the
honor of solving the riddle of the
Sphinx, according to the Cairo cor
respondent of the Westminster Ca
zette.
That journal says that Professor
Reisner succeeded in removing the
accumulated sand of sixty centuries
from the interior of the head and
has gained entrance through the
neck, to a temple that runs the whole
length of the gigantic body, measur-
ing 100 feet.
This temple forms the tomb of
Menes, the first historical pharaoh
and is supposed to contain his mumi-
fed body. Menes is believed to have
founded Memphis. These wonderful
discoveries, if confirmed, may prove
the most valuable yet made.
Professor Reisner was born in In
dianapolis in 1867. and has done
much Egyptian research.

HOW TO GET RID
OF THE HOUSE-FLY.

The fly is a nuisance beside being
a carrier of infectious diseases, and
the attempt to exterminate it needs
no Justification. How one can make
ones home, town or city fyless is
described by C. +. Hodge of Clark
University, Worcester, Mass. He says
the American public spends $40, 000,-
600 a year for window and door
screens in a futile attempt to exclude
a lively insect which insists on getting
into the house every time the doors
are opened. He believes also that
the method of swatting the flies,
using ly-paper or indoor traps or
poisons Is ineffective, but may help.
His method Is to make use in various
ways of the conieal wire-mesh fly
trap, which is familiar to almost
every one, in such a way as to turn
the tables on the flies and put them
in Jail and let ourselves out" The
plan involves. of course, the abolition
as far as possible of all breeding and
feeding places for flies and the APP
plieation of the hy-trap mentioned
above to the garbage-can, to the
screens on windows, to the covers on
manure-bins, etc, all of which can be
done by a little mechanical ingenuity.
G~arbage-cans are on the market
which have a cover larger than the
cans and not fitting down closely on
it SO that the flies gain access to the
can under the cover and escape
through a hole in the cover over
which is fixed a fiy-trap. In fighting
the fly, Hodge has found that the
essentials of a successful campaign
are to transfer the fight against the
fly from the house to outdoors, and
then to exterminate it. Another es-
sential feature in a town or city is
that households must cooperate.
One ignorant or careless home can
breed flies enough to vitiate the best
endeavors of a whole town. Hodge
has succeeded in his neighborhood in
practically eliminating flies: he uses
no screens in windows and doors, and
can sit out doors or have windows oil
doors open at any time without
molestation. AS flies begin to breed
early in the spring and as they breed
with marvellous r%apidity, the time tc
arrange for a fiy-eampaign is In tn,
winter.

MOVIES TALK AS

SUCCESS OF EDISON'S LATEST
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE GIVES
VOICE AND FLAVOR TO THE
SILENT DRAMA.

The talking pictures actually talk
and move, and they talk and move in
perfect unison. For so many years
has this been attempted and failed
that every one has become skeptical.
Even the managers who acquired
the rights made no advance boasts.
They had carefully made their
preparations, expressed a hope that
they had a valuable property, but an
nouneed they would stop right there
until after the first public exhibition.
But Immediately they had been
seen the managers got busy. Know
ing they had a wonderful invention
the following telegram was sen at
once to the manager of every theatre
on the B. r. Keith circuit:
"Edison's talking pictures the
greatest success in years. Thousands
of people turned away from all the
B. F. Keith New York houses today.
Storms of applause and the greatest
excitement after the pictures had
finished and cheers for Mr.. Edison
and his great American invention.
We will hurry a machine to your city
az soon as possible.
EFF. ALBEE,
General Manager for B.. F. Keith"
Mr.. Albee is recognized as one of
tho oraofncf choupaop axrar 4nnaoAI
in amusement enterprises, one who
makes claims based only on a sub
stantial foundation. Consequently
his wire tells a true story of how the
motion picures caught the popular
fancy.
The advance interest taken by the
public actually astounded the
managers themselves. They were
presented in every B. F. Keith
theatre of Greater New York and in
F. F. Proetor's Fifth Avenue. The
unusual sight greeted the managers
of houses filled to the capacity per-
mitted by the fire department be-
fore the first act appeared. This was
because the public wanted to be sure

than making the motion and the talk
harmonic, a marvellous achievement
he had also improved the phono-

its music and talk as canned did

seen at the initial performance, an
announcer steps to the front and tells
what Mr.. Edison had finally ac-

lips, also accompanied correctly what

Mildred was one of five children and

arose and she was heard by her older
sister, Ruth, sixteen years old, scold-

the acid without being questioned.
Returning home she drained the

called by Ruth, who was the first to
find her sister. He took her to the
hospital in his automobile, but it was

get much better results in a special

confined practically to the one sub

and politics. AS to the date I am not
certain, but the session still may
start in October, as l only need to
give ten days notice. l know many
members object to that @ate and
some have assured me that they
would agree to take up nothing else
but the utilities bill if l would defer

wish that arrangement could be made.
