MANS VOICE is PHENOMENAL
London Window Cleaner Able to Sing
TWO Notes of Music az the
Same Time.

Strathte Mackay, q window cleaner,
can sing two notes of music at the
same time and has been the subject
Of much curiosity and interest In Lon
don recently. The department Of pho
netics In the London university has
shown deep interest In Mackay's case
and has subjected him to tests and at
his own request has arranged for
further tests Of his remarkable talent.
One of the tests was made by Prof.
Daniel Jones, head Of the department
OF phonetics In the university. At the
conclusion the professor told news
paper representative that MIR. Mac
kay's voice was absolutely unlike any
other he had ever heard. He said
that 1t was phenomenal.
AT the professors request, Mackay
sang a number Of notes with the dou-
bic voice, and records Of these tones
were taken by the kymograph, an In
suument which shows sound vibra-
tions. BY these means 1t was possible
to keep a strictly scientific measure
ment Of the musical intervals between
the double notes that were sang.
Professor Jones explains that Mac
kay apparently has the power when
singing to make one of his vocal
chords vibrate at half the rate Of the
other. or at a third, fourth or fifth Of
the rate. Ii is this which produces the
double notes

Glass Thunde rbolts.

An exhibition of "petritied thunder
bolts" may be viewed by visitors to the
American Museum of Natural History
In New York. Technically they are
known as fulgurites, and the officials
Of the museum have decided that there
are several million persons in the Unit
ed States that have worried along for
years without knowledge of fulgurites.
DR.. o. E. Hovey of the museums de-
partment of geology explained that a
fulgurite Is a glass which is often
produced when lightning strikes a
mass of rock or bed Of dry sand and
melts the material beneath the impact.
In other words, 1t is glass made by
nature in very much the same way
that men make glass in glass foun-
dries. The fulgurites in the museum
come from all sorts Of places Mt.

gan, Illinois and Mehemamehibaka

A OBSTRUCTIVE
SOCIAL POLICY
Is Necessary" to Meet Prob
lem of Old Age
From an editorial in the Fall
River (Mass.) Globe

Thanks to a number of govern
ment commissions which conducted
thorough Investigations in the states
of Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Penn
sylvania and Ohio, we have positive
statistical knowledge of the numbers
of aged poor and of the actual con-
ditions confronting the aged and also
of the causes that produce their de-
pendency. These official calculations
warrant the conclusion that approx
mately one of every three persons
reaching the age of sixty-five years
will become dependent either upon
charity or relatives, while 6ne out of
every five persons in that period, will
incur the stigma of pauperism.
"One of the outstanding disclosures
of these state Investigations is the
fact that dependency in old age is not
necessarily the result of any lack of
industry or of the inclination to be
thrifty Nearly one-third of aims
house paupers investigated at random
in Pennsylvania were found to have
worked for the same employer for ten
years or more, while almost two
thirds served from three to ten years
Furthermore, about ten per cent once
had property or savings each amount
ing to over $4,000 in value These
accumulations of years had been wip-
ed out by various misfortunes and
accidents.
"The chief cause of poverty in old
age is the fact that workers in mod
ern industry cannot remain at their
regular work beyond certain age
AS in the case of the machine, there
comes a time when the worker whose
powers are slackening, must for the
good of the industry, be ruthlessly
scrapped.
Dependency in old age due to i'm
providence, intemperance, thriftless
ness or vice, therefore, is the ex-
ception rather than the rule. 1t must
be laid to the demands of our driv-
ing industry which necessitates the
scrapping of the worker at an earlier
and earlier age. 1t is by-product
of our social and economic organiza-
ton and can not be remedied through
private charity A constructive social
policy is necessary, and many believe
the remedy is to be found in the old
age pension system"

MUMMIES HAVE TOLD MUCH
Scientific Research Proves That An
cent Egyptians Suffered From
Many "Modern" Diseases.

While we do not know just what
were the seven plaques of Egypt, we
do know that a good many of the dis
eases of today were present among the
Egyptians of Tut-Ankh-Amen's time
and earlier Hardening of the arteries,
for example, we have come to blame
more or less on the drive and worry of
modern life, yet the arteries of mum
mics buried $500 years ago show the
plaques and deposits of lime salts typ
ical of arteriosclerosis In all its stages.
We owe much of our knowledge Of
disease among the early Egyptians to
the late Sir Marc Ruffer. president of
the sanitary and quarantine council of
Egypt during the last years of his life.
BY means of special solutions for soft
ening and preserving the dried tissues
Of the mummies, he was able to pre-
pare thin sections OF the various or
gans and study them under the micro
scope. Owing to the common method Of
preparing the mummies. which con-
sisted Of the removal of most of the
internal organs through an opening cut
In the left flank, and repacking them
after cleaning with sand or rags or,
rarely, myrrh and incense diseases Of
the organs themselves have not been
easy to identify The organs were re-
placed hit or miss, as a rule, regardless
of where they belonged. Thus In one
mummy Ruffer found the Kidneys
tucked away where tho beprt hp1nnpad
while that organ had crowded out the
liver. Such diseases as affect the
bones are easily studied, however.

Why Paths Are Crooked.

The reason most paths are crooked
was explained the other day by a
Lynbrook commuter, who ever since
the Spanish war has been cutting
across lots to catch the Z ;42
Did you ever see a straight path?'
he asked There may be some, but
there's none In Lynbrook. What makes
EN- crooked is the fact that one leg
of man is shorter than the other If
he wandered aimlessly he would go
around in circle but having his home
as an objective he soon corrects his
position. This makes a curve In the
original path.
Then, too, when he starts making
the path he will stumble over the
rough places. Others follow In his
footsteps and a curve develops A
straight and narrow path is never
formed naturally and 1t would be
hard road to walk ln"-New York

That sea-to-sea thoroughfare was a

is being excavated and widened or re-
made as one of the great motor roads,
and the digging that Is going on
as nearly 1000 men labor to give the
old route new life, reveals some curl
