Novel Wind Instrument.

A DDED possibilities for orchestral
composition are revealed in a de-
vice perfected by Bernard Samuels,
European musician. Competent judges
in the world of harmony believe that
his "aerophor'' will greatly advance
scoring for wind instruments by tint
ing future compositions with new and
strangely beautiful harmonies. and
will also prove blessing to the
musicians themselves by saving their
health and nervous energy.
This instrument Is said to provide
a means Of holding tone Indefinitely.
while the performer is resting his
lungs. This is accomplished by foot
pressure on a dustproof bellows. A
small bellows operated by one foot
supplies the air. Connected with this
is rubber tubing which terminates
in a small metal reed fastened near
the mouthpiece of the instrument.
Both the reed and the regular, mouth
piece are held in the mouth of the
musician. BY sort of stopcock both
are controlled.

Concerning Inks.

INKS are said to play an important
part in the detection of forgery,
especially when question arises as to
the particular time a document was
penned or signed.
It Is claimed that blue-black inks
may be recognized as fresh up to the
sixth day; and that, in after years.
their age may be determined when
the blue provisional pigment has
faded and left only the black.
The blue coloring. it seems, as time
elapses is scarcely acted upon by re-
agents, but for a year or two 1t will
at once diffuse If treated with a so
per cent solution Of acetic acid,
whereas when it is five or six years
old diffusion, IL 1t occurs at all, is ex-
tremely slow and limited in extent.
1t is averred that a still more
useful re-agent Is a saturated solu-
ton of oxalic acid that causes the
pigment of relatively fresh writing
to give an immediate smudge. but
has very little, If any, effect upon
writing six or eight years old.

may be brought against every son or
daughter of Eve, and they are truly
reasons for self-pity. The more you

better for you.

MAYBE you have a grievance. We
1N1 all have. It's quite possible that
the boss is unfair to you, or that your
wife doesn't appreciate you, or that
your family didn't give you a square
deal, or that your husband is cold
and selfish. But you aren't going to
remedy matters by folding yourself
In your arms and sobbing over your
remains. You're simply wasting the
energy you might have used to rem
edy the situation-and likewise con-
vincing every one else that you're
exactly as much of fool as they
thought you were.
Buck up and face the music. Look
your misery in the face. Usually
that's enough to make any misery
take to the tall timbers. If you're
half as brainy and resourcefuI as you
think you are, prove 1t by finding a
way out Of the dilemma and showing
the world the stuff you're made Of.

PARIS, June 20.

"HIS year. just as they have

gypsies gathered in the

NELF-PITY-what a common habit
y it Isl So common that we seldom
stop to think Of it's menace.
It lies in wait in each new home for
every bride. The honeymoon has
waned. That amazing, enthralling
possession, a husband, has become a
mere man again, a man immersed in

to 20 from the furniture, the sense of
adventure is wearing dull. And each
day seems a little grayer and lonelier

pounces!
