MAKES INTERESTING
TESTS ON HEARING


Prof. Martin Gildemeister has beer
conducting new series of researches
on various questions pertaining to
hearing. Gildemeister has now con
structed entirely new apparatus for
his researches, through which more &C
curate results have been secured His
experiments were carried out on 81
experimental subjects, comprising pu-
pills, students, girls, teachers, officials,
merchants, farmers and workmen of
various kinds. ALI these persons,
whose ages ranged from six to forty
seven, were possessed Of normal hear
ing. as was established by careful pre-
liminary examination.
number of interesting facts are de-
ducibIe from the results Of GIldemeIs-
ter's tests on hearing. 1t 10 compare

and left ears to be equally good. There
Is often great difference In hearing be-
tween the two ears, and the findings
remain the same. But there was no
evidence that the right or left ear, In
general, was essentially superior with
respect to hearing.
Age, however, plays big part In the
matter of hearing. Children and young
persons up to twenty years of age hear
best the high tones Even In children

Circular saws are made Of paper,
for use In making veneer and fine fur
niture, and are turned out In a fac
tory in England. Thin plates of wood
cut by these saws are so finely finished
that cabinet makers do not have to
plane them at all before they are used.
Such saws were originally shown at an
English exposition and were driven by
an electric motor. They are manufac.
tured from a special type Of compressed
drawing paper.
Indeed, compacted paper of such
hardness has been made In England
that 1t has even been utilized In place
of building stone. Experiments in the
manufacture Of car wheels from. COM
pressed paper have been made in the
United States for a number of years.
but the product has never competed
seriously with the ordinary steel
wheels. 1t is only In the production
Of certain articles as the veneer saws
that any advantage is found.-Scien-

Skates of Glass

Cinderella's glass slipper bids fair
to become something more than q
myth, though the modern Cinderella
will need no fairy godmother to fur
nish her with coach, In which to
reach home swiftly. Her slippers will
answer the purpose
The modern Cinderella's glass slipper
Is skate. Of which the upper part re-
sembles a. slipper, open behind, with
a split '1ace-up" heel cap. The skate
Is Of glass, hardened by certain
process to the consistency of steel.
Every part of the skate is Of glass,
from the slipper-like upper to the gilt
tering blade.
1t Is asserted that the glass blades
are much more slippery than steel
ones and that they will run almost
as well over rough, snow-covered Ice
as on smooth Ice sheet, and will
also 90 easily over inequalities, twigs
and other distractions.
They are made very sharp and are
so extremely hard that 1t Is almost
impossible to blunt them. They are
unlike steel skates. in that they never
need grinding and never rust.

Gypsy Woman Boss

The wife and mother Is the real boss
of the gypsy family. She controls the
property, manages the children and
holds the strings of the family pocket
book. They think the men are not
wise and discreet enough to deal with
such weighty matters. When the suf-
frage agitation was at it's height In
this country the gypsies marveled that
American women were fighting for
rights which their women had been
exercising from the days Of remotest
antiquity.
The gypsy queen" is familiar
character in the gypsy camps Of Eu-
rope, but In this country a man Is
usually in apparent command Of the
company. But those who have pene-
trated into the inner circles of their
camps tell US that the women are the
real leaders.-Detroit News.

Misguided Quotations

It Is surprising how many familiar
quotations are recited wrongly.
Many people make hash of a
phrase from Gray's Elegy. They say,
Far from the maddening crowd In
stead of "madding," the word the poet
coined and used. Similarly they say
that some one is seeking fresh fields
and pastures new" whereas Milton
wrote fresh woods"
Then there is the misconception
which attributes civil warfare to the
passionately patriotic ancient Greeks,
who stood so valiantly side by side in
defense of their. country.
1t Is an insult to these heroes to say
when Greek meets Greek then comes
the tug of war" The quotation says,
When Greek joins Greek'-that is to
say, when they stood shoulder to shout
der they were almost impossible to

MAN TAKES WATER
FROM MANY RIVERS
People Gather Together All
Sorts of Freakish Objects.

You can understand person collect
ing china or coins or stamps or smut
boxes. These are objects Of beauty
or, at any rate, Of interest. Birds
eggs. butterflies or beetles form inter
esting collections and teach natura
history, while such objects as play
ing cards, fans, mezzotints or enamel
have at least historic interest.
But OF late years many people
have abandoned the more ordinar,
forms of collecting in favor of gath
ering together all sorts of freakish OBJ
jects which do not appear to have
either beauty or intrinsic value, and
the gathering Of which at much ex'
pense both of time and money looks
like sheer waste OF both these com
modities
For instance, In daily paper GER
tain individuals have been Boosting of
their collections of match boxes. one
correspondent declaring that he has
over 300 different specimens.
No doubt the collection gives him a
certain amount Of pleasure, but what
will his heirs think of It'll Would
any museum say thank you" for itf
But the collector of match boxes
shows more discrimination than the
man who has spent half lifetime and
goodness knows how much money in
travelling all over the world and col
lecting water from each river he comes
across.
Out Of each stream he takes sam
pie In small bottle, which is then
sealed and labeled He has already
hundreds of these bottles, and the
number constantly grows.
A hobby that is worse than useless
is the collection of title pages. This
Is form Of curio hunting Of consid-
cradle antiquity, and is the reason why
so many early-printed books lack their
title pages. Thousands of the rarest
books have been mutilated In this way,
the classical authors suffering more
than others for the reason that their
title pages were so often fine steel
plates.
Eyeglasses, unless they are suited to
your own sight, are sfngularly use
less things (says writer in John o.
London's Weekly, yet these form the
subject of several collections. The
late queen of Denmark used to collect
them.
Many people specialize in black
museums on small scale; relics Of
famous crimes, pieces of rope with
which famous criminals have been exc
cuted and the like. To some minds
these possess certain morbid inter-
est.
A well-known singer has a small col
lection of pens with which reprieves
had been signed and the king Of Spain |
has collection of relics of his own
escapes from death or In !
Jury. These vary from the teat of
feeding bottle used in an attempt to |
poison him when a. baby, to the skel-
eton of one of the horses killed by
bomb flung at him on his wedding day.

WOMAN TELLS OF
HUNT FOR TIGERS
King Of Beasts Leaped IS
Feet After Being Shot.

Miss Gertrude Emerson, who wen
tiger hunting in IndcrChina and WHIT
tells her story In Asia, never got {
shot at the tiger she hunted, but shs
was one of those to whom the prospect
of killing Is the least, not the greatest
lure OF the hunt.
The bait, q bullock, was slain and
wired strongly to tree so that this
tiger might not be able to carry II
away. Although the first bullock was
devoured and had to be replaced with
another, the hunting party visited the
tree at intervals for several nights
without success Tigers were known
to be In the neighborhood, for the
party heard them at night-''the heart
pumping cough Of tigers. They gave
no long drawn snarI, no roar, but three
and sometimes four hoarse coughs In
quick succession"
Then one night just as violent
storm began to slacken the hunters set
out on foot. The men had each an
acetylene lamp fastened to the front
of his cap. The grass was taller than
their heads as they struck off through
1t in diverging lines like the spokes of
a fan.
II could just see the little glimmer-
ing lights and blur OF white faces
dwindling to pinpoints. At what mo-
ment would my electric torch be re-
fiected from pair of green eyes? One
Of the men let out blood-curdling
yell, and we all ran stumbling towards
him. He had stepped on wild pig.
Our eyes and ears were strained to
the least unaccountable CULVER in the
darkness Of wet grasses swishing like
endless waves and closing In like the
sea over our heads. For sheer sense
Of danger that wild stalking through
the night was as thrilling as anything
in my life."
But they missed the tiger and only
lost themselves. 1t was the day after
Miss Emerson had to leave that the
quarry was obtained. Early in the
morning as the hunters were about to
return from another vain visit to the
bait they became aware of furry
among the birds and monkeys. They
craned their necks and held their
breaths.
1.-THE tiger cautiously slipped into
the opening, walked up to the bullock.
put his nose down to 1t and then stared
straight over the top of 1t as If he had
heard or smelled something. The mo-
ment had come to fire. The tiger
Jumped straight up 15 feet into the
air. but instead of falling backwards
he came down square on his feet and |

railing party armed with knives

)ait they came upon him dead. With
