The recent death of Mrs. Georgina
= Weldon removed ono Of the most remark
able characters of recent times. Mrs.
Weidsn won her title of "the champion
lady iitigant' twenty years ago by her
frequent and successful actions In the
law courts, which she always conducted
lIerseif She opposed Sir Charles Russell,
afterward lard chief Justice. IN the Gen.
Sir Henry de Battle suit, and surprised
the legal world by gaining a verdict with
5000 damages, In the Same year she
fought the great composer. Gounod, for
libel and won damages of $4,000. She
alss obtained verdicts of 5000 and $500
respectively, against two doctors.
Her defeats, which were not as numer-
Gus as her victories, subjected her TO oc

WHAT age do you want the judge to be-"
Your age promptly replied Mrs.
Weldon,
Despite her eccentric,ties, Mrs Weldon
could he of a practical turn of mind. II
is to her credit that she brought about
an important amendment of the Inatri-
w elden relief act which has bene-
nted thousands Of petitioners in divorce
suits In 1855 she personally obtained
order Of the late Lord Hannen of
restitution OF conjugal rights against her
husband, who refused to obey the strict

Mrs. Weldon urged that he should do

Legislature Amends Law.
The legislature saw the difficulty, and
a statute was passed in 1885 by which
it was enacted that noncompliance with
an order for restitution of conjugal
rights constituted desertion with its cor
responding liabilities.
Mrs. Weldon's last action was against
the Times BOOK Club, in 1911, when her
old Gounod case was revived In cennec-
ton with two books on the composer
sold by the book club. She lost her
case and the subsequent appeal, and
Solicitor F. E. Smith, in the course of
ross-examination, elected from her the
statement that she had conducted some
twenty actions In respect of the alleged
Gounod libel and had recovered abeut

Flowing by Horsepower.

The growing use Of mechanical horse
power is gradually driving the faithful
Dobbin from the farm. It also is doing
a great deal to solve the hired man prob
lem. Two, three and four wheeled gaso-
line machines. most of them operated by
one person. are no longer seven-day won
ders in farming communities. AS yet,
however. they are not common sights,
and changes and improvements are con-
stantly being made.
A number of motor plows are now on
the market. All OF them do the work Of
one horse. and some are the equal of a
four-horse team. The plowman rides on
some as the blowing proceeds. while with
others he has to walk behind, Just as he
had to do with horses. Motors from five
to thirty horsepower are in use. These
mechanical plows. being smaller. lower
and more tractable, have proved a great
soil in orchards. where care must be
taken not to scrape the sides or break
the limbs of trees.

Il The Searchli8lrt
An Absolutely Sound Proof Room.
|bI|DV|SaTuRnuIlIIu

What is claimed to be an absolutely
sound-proof room has recently been COM
pleted in Utrecht, Holland. This will be
very interesting news to owners and ten
ants who are seeking the nd-proof
apartment house. Modern builders are
giving more attention each year to sound
resistent materials. At present, however.
sound-resistent material adds consider
ably to the cost of construction.
The sound-proof room in Utrecht was
planned by Prof. Zwaardewaln of the
Utrecht University. 1t will be used only
for scientific clinics. To be absolutel. :
sound-proof a given space must be able
to do more than exclude noise. It must
also resist sound propagation, reflection
and refraction. All these qualities are
claimed for Prof. Zaardewaln's room.
The walls are of alternate layers of
wood, lead and cork with vacuum spaces
in between. The inner walls are of por-
Gus stone, covered with horsehair cloth
invented by the Belgians. which has been
found to be sound resistent and is used
for covering telephone booths in Belgium
The roof is made Of LAYERS Of asphalt pa
per, lead. seagrass and wood. The floor
is of marble covered with a thick rug

Paris, Dec. 12.--The latest honor
