FUNERAL SERVICE BY PHONE
Connection Made From Church TO Bed
side of Quarartined Daughter
Quick Connection Made.

A distressed husband and father,
burying his wife, called on the tele-
phone company in Chicago recently
and asked its aid in effecting a tele-
phone connection from the church TO
the bedside OF his quarantined daugh-
ter Request for service was made at
1920 q. m. and the funeral was to be
held at 2 p. m. on the same day Con-
cealing a. so-called ACQUISITION" or
loud-speaking transmitter in the flow
ers before the pulpit and connecting
1t to the telephone line OF the church.
direct means of communication was
established between the church and
the central office. Here the subscrib-
er's line and the church line we're dis
connected from the switchboards and
tied in solid. The quarantined daugh-
ter was thus able to listen to her
mothers funeral service as it was
conducted In the church many blocks
from her home, says Electrical World.
One of the features of this unusual
feat in telephony was the quick con
nection secured.

AUTOMATIC LAMP ON STAIRS
Arrangement Gives Late-comer Ample
Time to Ascend Stairway Before

In Europe many Of the apartment

stair lamps which can be lighted by
the touch of a button at the bottom or
top of the stairs. The lamps burn for
two or three minutes, automatically
extinguishing themselves at the end oil

because most cities here have ordi.

hall lamps all night long On the scale
of other costs, also, electrical energy

Two commercial travellers while in

That gentleman, leaning condescend-

he smiled. shook his head and said:

BIG SHORTAGE OF PLATINUM
More Thar IS Per Cent Of Metal Comes
From Russia-Deposits Discov-
cred in Germany.

One of the difficulties in the extern
sion of electrical and technical chem
istry is the shortage of platinum. Rus
STA is practically the only country pro-
ducing platinum; it is found in various
localities of the Oral mountains. Very
small quantities have been found in
Borneo, Brazil, Australia and Cali
fornia. but of the worlds total produc-
ton of 1920 pounds, more than nine
ty-five per cent comes from Russia.
Now extensive deposits of platinum
have been discovered in Germany, in
Westphalia, where iron. lead, copper
and zinc mines abound. The platinum
is present in the form of an alloy, but
In sufficient quantities to guarantee
profitable extraction. and 1t seems
possible that under new methods Of
analysis deposits of platinum under
workable conditions may be found in
various other parts OF the world II

Stuff Las Vegas
viii not Fall for

The Mutual theater on Bridge
street. both in its old quarters and in
its handsome new playhouse has built
up reputation for clean, wholesome
and entertaining programs. AS a re
suit, people have been drawn to the
place in large numbers. This week,
however, the management was hand
ed large lemon in contracting for
the appearance Of the Harry Siebert
Smith company which put on vaude-
Vile
This company had two feature bills,
THE Convict and the Warden" and
"The New Chief of Police" which
were swallowable under the sweeten-
ing Influence of excellent motion pic
tubes The employees of this com
pany-let us not call them actors. for
very good reason put on some other
stunts, however, which were absolute
~ nauseating. Jokes and songs which
would have become putrid with age
had they not been rotten in their in
ception were foisted upon the patrons
of the house.
The performance on Thursday even
ing was particularly objectionable.
A large crowd Of people had gathered
to witness "The Million Dollar Mys.
terry picture which has made the
Mutual Justly famous. In the crowd
were a large number of ladies and
children, who were obliged 10 sit and
listen to lot of suggestive and smut
ty songs and Jokes and to witness
the spectacle of men and women beat
ing each other and standing on their
heads in so-called vaudeville" per.
formance,
Las Vegas never has submitted
kindly to suggestive or risque stage
productions, and it takes mighty good
vaudeville of any description to please
the people. Doubtless the Mutual
management after its experience
with the Harry siebert Smith com
pany will not be taken in by any
other cheap road show. which would
not pass a hoard Of censorship, if
there were such thing for the vaude-
vile stage. Something Of the kind is
badly needed, by the way, if risque
performances such as the Smith com
pany hands out are to be allowed to
be presented at motion picture houses,
where many children are to be found
in every audience.
