close to the orchestra. During the
second act one Of the conspirators
leaned toward the millionaire, when,
az previously arranged, they all turned
on the absorbers suspended over their
vests, and endeavOred to whisper.
''They can't imagine what's the mat
ter" But the joke was on him, for he
could not hear his own voice, and Mr..
Gazukes could only guess at what he
meant.
A trio behind the footlights was
waiting expectantly for an introduce
ton to their song. The conductor, who
at first was quietly waving his baton
and indicating for thet first violin to
commence, then looked angrily at him
and nodded his head wildly to go on.
People were surprised. Although
those in the front seats could see the
bows passing over the instruments,
there was no sound. The leader of
the orchestra then indicated for the
drummer to drum. The veins on his
temples stood out and his hair seemed
to rise from his forehead, while his
furthest distance from their proper
position. Now there was cOnsterna-
ton that, while he seemed to be giving
orders, no results were forthcoming,
and, not understanding, the audience
was getting restless, looking around.
Harvard's night at the theaters-
when she wins-are dreaded perhaps
as much by conductors as by the act
ors, who know that Interruptions may
be expected at the most inOpportune
times, and awakening to the fact that
this was some joke, the conductor COM
Eenced to scan the audience.
All this had taken but few mo-
ments, although the time seemed an
eternity to the men who occupied the
entire second row. Already one of
the chorus girls was CON-" and they be-
gan to fear the partial obstruction of
the persons in the front row would
not be enough to shield them from the
scrutiny of the actors. Involuntarily
they drew their coats together and
shut off the batteries. The millionaire
rather sheepishly nudged the man next
to him, but he was enjoying to the
utmost his diabolical plan.
When things went smoothly again,
the star improvised: ''This was no
fancy of Nancy's, neither was it a
fancy of ours"
Hon. William Gazukes then whis-
pered to the inventor: ST am convinced
Of the satisfactory working Of the
marvellous sound absorber."

49, Of the Sound Absorber was
q shortly to be on.
4 Hon. William GaZukes,
the millionaire, who seemed
IL be renewing his youth, sat chatting
excitedly with the inventor, and a
party of friends. 1t seems that the
Hon. Gazukes had recently been forced,
through a practical joke on himself,
tc become interested in this sound abb
sOrber and to realize that it had va
riety Of possibilities, for his friend.
Faxon, the inventor, had lain in wait
for him one day by the side of a build
ing. He had seen the millionaire COM
ing toward him, earnestly engaged in
conversation, and wishing to demon
strate his invention, he had quickly
sprung upon barrel and, as quickly,
he had set the abSOrber in rapid vi
bratiOn, so as to disturb the atmO-
sphere before the faces of the gentle
men. Neither was able to hear the
other and after much CONSERVATION
Faxon, with a twinkle in his eye, con-
fronted them.
The millionaire then became anxious
to try it on a crowd, and had secured
seats for his friends in little groups
about the stadium, all of them being
located within the Yale cheering line.
little do people about us know
what we have on our minds" he was
saying.
They were happily expectant and
laughed as the old gentleman added:
Cor should I say: 'on our coats?" for
each one of the 80 men in the party
vas supplied with a sound absorber.
This invention was simply a circu-
Iar plate, with curving edges, looking
something like a flattened bowl. The
