COLEMAN DUPONT
GIVEN NEW VOICE
Mechanical Larynx Replaces
Vocal Cords Removed in
Ulcer Operation.

FT the Associated fFess,
NEW YORK, October 2s.--A "me'
chanical larynx" which enables
United States Senator T. Coleman
du Pont to speak. Notwithstanding an
operation in which his vocal cords
were removed. was described today by
the New York World.
DIR. John T.. MaCkenty. senior sur
geon of the Manhattan Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital, who performed the
operation, involving removal of the
vocal cords, raynx and part of the
tongeu and windpipe. is renowned for
his technique in throat cancer opera
tion.
Described As "Ulcer."
He declined to comment upon his
clients case. although the Senator s
office announced the ailment as
Throat ulcer
The mechanical larynX" was de-
scribed as a perfected type of a device
presented to medical science n few
years ago by DR.. Harvey Fletcher f.
Lane OF the laboratories of the West
ern Electric GO. and the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co, whose
researches were undertaken at the
instigation of DR.. Mackenty, who had
Stu0leu the problem lOr ~ years.
New Voice Is Formed.
The device, which was said to save
the Senators from the penalty of dumb
ness that once resulted from such an
operation as his. is simple, resem-
bling and but little more conspicuous
than an underslung pipe, from the
bowl of which a tube extends to an
artificial throat opening. The pipe
bowl contains the artificial larynX.
Air from the lungs passes through
the tube to the bowl and thence to
the mouth through the pipe-stem.
held in the teeth. A tone is emitted
by the man-made larynx, and is modi-
fled much as in normal speech by the
lips. teeth, tongue and palate.
The normal voice with its modula-
tions is not retained, but a new voice,
slightly monotonous but clearly in
telligible, is formed.

Captive Wild Beasts
Haze Strong Appeal

Long before Christ the desire Of
the public to view wild animals,
birds, reptiles and fish at close
range manifested Itself. Royal pre-
serves and menageries are as old
as the civilization Of Assyria and
Egypt. In 100 B. @. it is recorded
that the first emperor of the Chou
dynasty in China established a
geological garden, the first Of its
kind of which there is definite
knowledge. This garden was called
Intelligence park and appears to
have had scientific and educational
objects. The ancient Romans kept
In captivity large numbers of such
animals as leopards, lions, bears,
elephants, camels, rhinoceroses and
hippopotamuses, as well as os-
triches and crocodiles. Emperor
Frederick II had at his Sicilian
court a notable collection from
which he sent to Henry III Of Eng
land three leopards, in compliment
to the three animals Of that species
that appeared in the monarch's
coat of arms. These animals, with
an elephant sent not long after
ward by Louis TX of France,
formed the nucleus Of the famous
Tower menagerie.-Detroit News.
