However, his notes fell
upon one pair of ears whose owner
recognized their significance.
Thus, the worlds best-loved tenor,
John Mccormack, was discovered.
The beauty which might have been
lost to mankind had not young Nc
Cormack lifted his voice in melody

Hospital at Dublin, had arrived with
in range too late to intercept and ap-
preciate it-cannot be computed. Per-
haps the development Of a supreme
talent would only have been delayed.
But it might have been frustrated
permanently.
Mccormack had just finished his
schooling at Summerhill College, in
Sligo, and had come up to Dublin to
take the examinations for the Royal
College of Science, which, IL success
full, would place him in the higher
reaches of government service.
He was not thinking of a musical
career.
One day he dropped into the Master
Misericordiae Hospital for a visit
with Dr. Forbes, who had been his
boyhood chum at Athlone.
While the doctor was being sum-
moned, he was left to wait in the
room used by the nurses and internes
for rest and recreation.
In this room was piano. Pres
entity, to amuse himself as he waited,
young Mccormack tested it's tone
and, having done this, decided to try
a song.
Thus it came about that DIR. Forbes,
opening the door, found the chamber
filed with music. the sheer beauty
of which astounded him.
A man of fine susceptibilities and
understanding, he was entranced not
alone by the voice but by the accom-
paniment, emanating from the same
source.

DEATH Stroke
BURNS STEEL
MILE OFF
Navy Department in Close
Touch With inventor OF
Man-made Lightning

Theodore Douglas Robinson, act
ing Secretary OF the Navy said to-
day that although the department
had not given approval for a test
of the so-called "death-stroke in
vented by Doctor Edwin r. Scott.
it had kept in close touch with the
inventors research work, carried on
in his Laboratories at San. Francisco.
Doctor Scott has conferred at the
Navy Department with experts. At
the naval research laboratory at
Bellevue, near Washington, he has
explained his death stroke" to ex.
perts.
He has been on ships Of the fleet
in the Pacific, presumably with
view to determining what he must
do to adapt his invention to yes
sci at sea.
Naval experts are willing to be
Shown by Doctor Scott, but in
view Of the extravaganza claims
made for the death ray" death
beam and similar inventions, they
continue a bit skeptical as to what
Doctor SCOTS device can accom-
plish. Doctor Scott, it is said, has
been less extravagaI1t in his claims
and apparently has recognized linn.
itations which other aspirants have
not considered.
He calls the device a human
made lightning stroke and promises
that it can be projected and direct
ed, that it will set fire to dead
trees and burn holes through two
inches Of steel at a mile distant.
he says.
There is no doubt that this
stroke could be sent in any de.
sired direction for twenty miles, for
when one takes into consideration
the available electrical power in the
world as 100000 horsepower
then considers that the energy re-
leased in 100000 OF a second by
a lightning flash aggregate ESQ.,
O00, 900 horsepower one can imagine
the power possible in human
made lightning stroke.
Doctor Scott may have taken up
Nth the naval authorities at San
Francisco the question of a test at
sea in the near future. II so, the
suggestion has not yet reached the
department.

Making More Trouble

Governor Christensen is having
little trouble down in Hennepin coun-
ty. The state boiler inspector down
there, name not important, had been
making about $4,000 year, the
largest amount paid, to any public
employee in Minnesota except the
president of the state university
The man who tapped the boilers in
Hennepin county made twice as much
money as the justices of the sup
RENE court Naturally the boiler
inspector wished disappointment,
and when it was rumored that an
other term was not forthcoming, the
county organization was quite in
dignant, its chairman m particular.
Another man was selected, name
not important. He agreed to do the
work for $3.50 a month and the rest
of the money he receives, except a
reasonable allowance for assistance
and expense, is, to go into the state
treasury.
That is good example.
The governor has made hundred
enemies and a thousand friends. -
