Reversing Speech.

There is a curious Photographic In
strument, the invention Of Poulsen,
capable of reversing the sounds of
word or a sentence. A steel piano
wire, carried on two spools, passes be-
tween the poles of small electro
magnet so connected with a telephone
transmitter that spoken words are
magnetically recorded on the moving
wire and reproduced in a receiving
instrument. When the motion of the
wire is direct, the words are heard as
in ordinary conversation. but if the
motion is reversed, the sounds come
to the ear in reverse order, like words
spelled backward. To represent the
order in which the reversed sounds
strike the ear, however, not only must
the order of the letters composing a
word be reversed, but each letter must
itself be reversed from right to left.

that on the next visit the supervisor
can Immediately recall the points
wherein he should expect to find i'm
provement in these various teachers.
Twenty-Five High Schools in State
There are twenty-five high schools
in the State which this Assistant must
visit in a supervisory way. Some of
them do not have as many teachers as
the one just described; some have
more. His visits are as frequent as
possible. He works at all times
through the Principals of these schools
to the end that the instruction in the
schools may be improved from day to
day and from year to year. One dis
couraging aspect of the situation is
that as these teachers improve it is
difficult to keep them in our schools
because of the inadequate salary
schedule. There are many teachers
leaving US each year whose value is
considerably increased by their exper-
ience and who should be kept in our
system in order that our boys and
girls may get the benefit Of our efforts
in improving them in their chosen pro-
feSsion.

Train Lighting Made Easy.

Small enough to be mounted almost
anywhere on locomotive is COM
pact unit consisting of a direct-con-
nected dynamo and steam turbine,
that has been produced in Switzer-
land to provide for train lighting. In
the housing for the turbine. between
it and the dynamo, is an air fan for
cooling the shaft bearing at this
point, and which acts also as stuff
ing box for the turbine. The turbine,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine, Is
very simple, and the steam requires
no control, for the air fan acts as a
governor, preventing racing, and keep
ing the speed uniform at all loads.
The lamps in the train remain re-
markably steady, and there is a very
small variation of voltage. no matter
how many or how few lamps are In
operation.

For Winter Flowers.

A fascinating way in which to force
bulbs is to grow them in water.
Chinese lilies, hyacinths and paper
white narcissus being especially re-
sponsive to this method.
Preparations are simple: First put
pebbles in a dish of water, keeping the
water slightly below the tops of the
stones. A few small bits Of charcoal
will aid in keeping the water sweet.
Place the bulbs on the pebbles and set
away in a cool, dark, well ventilated
closet until the roots get a good start
and the leaf spikes are about an inch
high. Then bring to the light and pro-
ceed as carefully as with trench grown
plants.

ment Will be Made Before Sen. Ball
1t was learned last week that the
eligible list, from which the appoint
ment of a postmaster at Wilmington
will be made, is not expected for per-
haps a month. Senator Balls office
took the matter up with the Civil Ser
vice Commission, and it is understood
that the result of the examination,
which was conducted on November
27, will not be forthcoming until af-
ter the first of the year. 1t was
thought that the President would soon
name the new members of the Dis
trict Rent Commission, provided for
under the Ball Rent Act, of which
Senator L. Heisler Ball is author. 1t
was understood that local papers at
Washington have requested a photo
graph of Thomas E. Peeney, secretary
to Senator Ball, who is understood to
have been suggested to the President
as one of the new members. Members
of the Delaware delegation in Con-
gress, who spent the holidays at their
homes in the State have returned to
their duties, together with their office
force. The two Senators arrived just
as the roll was called for a quorum.
Four Assistant Postmaster-General H.
H. Billany, and Colonel Thomas w.

also back on the job Thursday.

AS Nature

The bee was meant to be a bee.
Her industry is quite amazing;
But since she can not help 1t, she
Deserves no praising.

She does her work and seems to
love II,
Just as Dame Nature meant her to.
Well, then what Of It?
We don't expect the bee or ant
To specialize on grace or beauty.
It IS enough, we freely grant,
To do their duty.
Yet some folks frown at butterflies,
And solemnly point out that these
are
Improvident and far from wise
AS ants and bees are.
Oh well, the bright-hued butterfly
Remains a lovely thing to see;
The ants an ant, we can't deny,

GAY LIFE OF
BROADWAY
DISAPPEARS
Less Drinking, More Drunken
ness, and Spirit Of Play
Is Gone,
BY DON RYAN
Times STAFF Corresp ondent


II EW YORK, Nov 1.-Broadway
M has never been exactly the
- same since the war.
Broadway suffered a double knock
out - the war and then - pro-
hibitiou. There is less drinking now
in the Broadway cafes-and more
drunkenness. And something has
gone-something that used to dis
tinguish Broadway from the other
say bright ways.
There used to be something OF a
woodland spirit about Broadway and
It's cafes. The cafes were Broadway
in the days before the war. And
everybody was dancing-so gaily, so
Notwithstanding the graceful dances
that by some miracle once had a
vogue in this country. The boys and
girls-old and young-who frequented
the Broadway cafes in those days
seemed to possess a quality Of play
that no longer exists. They used to
romp through life.
Play Is Gone
But it seems that the quality OF
play has gone-gone with the bright
Broadway. The boys and girls who
dance in the cafes these nights seem
heavy footed. They seem to take their
dancing so seriously performing
grotesque evolutions with set faces,
like savages intent on some religious
rite.
Today Broadway is changing again
going through another Of the count
less metamorphoses she has endured
to hold her lovers. Becoming every
decade more vulgar, more cheaply
bedizened. more wilful, more heart
less. And each year, more and more.
the demands OF trade encroach upon
the remnants Of her dowdy dignity.
Devotees Changing
And the devotees of Broadway are
changing, too. Naturally they would
because It is they who cause the
mistress to don new apparel-to smIrk
from an unaccustomed angle.
A rare sight is the tall silk hat and
the enveloping cape OF the man IN
full dress on Broadway. An occa.
sional dinner coat in the evening
an occasional derby and stick in the
afternoon For the most we have the
new lovers of Broadway; gray felt
hats over bullying brows that ooze
perspirauon IN the frenzy Of gesture
in the frenzy OF accumulation.
Money was always payment for
Broadway-the harlot. But in former
times It was not the custom TO f1ng
it into her face.
Tune of Kilowatt Hours
For the last five years the six an
gular elves sired by the chewing gum
king have ceaseIesly performed their
MISUNDERSTANDING rising, lung
ing-to the tune Of hlOwatt hours
They grin as they jerk out their cleo
trical message among colored foun-
tains Of light where dazzling peacocks
spread their tails.
Along the glittering lane that once
formed the old post road running
ncrthward from the Battery, the
night blooming jewels Of Broadway
exhort the crowds. Red, yellow, white
and gold They glow with metallic.
steely lustre and their message Is:
