Skirt Steak: On the lower East
Side, I learned about "skirt steak"
which is featured in number of
restaurants. The only difference
between it and common, ordinary
steak is that before being put on
the grill, the edges are carefully
scalloped and the cooking gives a
ruff1e effect. Hence the skirt"
Though there is an extra charge,
the demand is heavy particularly on
the part of young couples. "Skirt
steak" is a profitable item for the
restaurateur, it was explained to
me, because its fancy appearance
awakens feminine appetites.
End Piece: Riding along South
street, I noticed that the old cobble-
stone paving was being taken up
and a remark brought from the taxi
driver the explanation that it was
being removed to reduce the odor
coming from the Fulton. Fish mar
ket. It seems, averred the cabby,
the odors coming from the old mar
ket got into the paving so they re-
NAMED after the new marlset had
been built. That may be true but
at any rate when South street is
repaved I'm going back and check
up on him.

IN MEMORIAN

In memory of my dear father, whose
birthday is August 80, and who de.
parted this life, October "a.
Sad and sudden was the call,
Of one so dearly loved by all.
A bitter grief, a shock severe,
1t was to part with one so dear.
Dear Daddy I love you so,
And miss you more as the days
come and go.
You were so loving, gentle and kind
And bore your pain so long without
a frown.
l would not call you dear Daddy, back
to this world of woe,
For we know God had a purpose, AL.
though l loved you so.
But dear loved one we will need you
when God calls us one by one.
So that we may be united, wher
our work on earth is done.
Sadly missed by his daughter.

sounds.
| Still another demonstration enables
Mr.. Vadersen to sing "Popeye, the
Sailor Man" in a bass far lower than
the human voice range. Frequently
DR.. Dudley presses a button in his
hand which permits the audience to
hear Mr.. Vadersen's normal baritone
voice.
Not content with throwing his voice
up and down the scales, Mr.. Vadersen
can set the circuits on the Vocoder,
one a third higher than his natural
voice and another third lower so that
his singing sounds like barber shop
trio.
Scientifically, the Vocoder is a ma
chine which creates sounds quite diff
ferent from those used by the speaker.
/ Cadences may become monotone, a
vigorous voice may become a quaver
and normal speech sounds may be
coded into ineligible speech and in
strumental music into vocal music.
A number of interesting possibili-
ties, such as producing artificial voices
for moving picture cartoons, have been
seen for the Vocoder, but as yet
scientists have found it hard to pre-
dict the engineering developments
which may grow out of application of
the principles employed in this device.
The speech-defining currents have fea-
lures Of simplicity and inaudibility
which may open the way to new
privacy in verbal communication or to
a reduction in the frequency range re-
quired for the transmittal of intel
ligible telephone speech. 6
In some respects the Vocoder is
similar to the Voder which was an
entertaining feature at the Worlds
Fairs last summer.

Weston ;. The fact that they have
a telephone in their bedroom and that
the wife goes to work early in the
morning probably saved Mr.. and Mrs.
Chauncey Darr of Weston, w. Va,
from death by carbon monoxide
poisoning. Realizing that something
was wrong when he woke and found
his wife collapsed, Mr.. Darr turned
toward the telephone which was on the
other side of the room. He collapsed
before reaching it, but he did not lose
consciousness and was able to drag
himself to the telephone and call for
aid, which came quickly.
Cairo Sometime ago negotia-
lions were started between the
Egyptian and Sudanese governments
for the installation of telephone line
between the two countries. The 1860
mile telephone line will be built at an
estimated cost of $4,000.

almost exhausted.

In New York: Coming along
Forty-fourth street one evening, I
witnessed what looked like a duel
between man and a woman, the
woman young and the man middle
aged. First she would slap him and
then he would slap her. They went
about the slapping coolly and me-
thodically with no signs Of anger.
They were exchanging swats when
I suddenly recollected that I was in
New York and hurried on my way.
Those slaps might have led to may
hem or even murder. And in New
York, a material witness is hustled
to the hoosegow with the principals.
Feminine: Looking over that in
teresting book, "Life at Vassar,"
which gives the colleges rs years
of history in pictures. I was struck
by this bit from the 1865 prospectus,
"Oratory and debate are not fem
mine accomplishments; and there
will be nothing in the college ar
rangements to encourage the prac-
tice of them" Another early pros
pectus defines the sphere Of lady
as "hers to refine, illumine, purify
not to govern or control"
Looking at the picture of Mathew
Vassar who, with a fortune earned
by his brewery founded the college,
one would suspect such sentiments.
But times have changed as is indi-
Gated by comparisons of photos Of
students of early days with those of
today.

scientist of the Laboratories. The
builds meaU voice out of electrical
The Vocoder, an amazing instru-
ment which measures the tonal ele-
ments of a human voice and then
builds related new voice out of cleo
trical sounds - an instrument which
makes that same voice sound like a
mans, a woman's or even an alrplane
motor, was demonstrated recently be-
fore employees of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company of Bal
timore City by DR.. Homer w. Dudley
of the Bell Telephone Laboratories,
New York. DR.. Dudley, assisted by
Charles w. Vadersen, has demon
strated the Vocoder before acoustical
and engineering societies throughout
the United States.
According to DIR. Dudley the new
device is a very simple thing, but it
isn't so simple to explain. Two funda-
mental sound streams, ''buzz" and
a "hiss," are produced by a PERSONS
vocal apparatus, the Bell Laboratories
scientist points out. Ineligible speech
is given when these two streams are
varied. When the pitch of the Voco-
der is held constant and the "buzz''
sound is used, flat monotonous chant
is heard. When the "hiss" is sub
stituted for the "buzz," normal speech
is converted into a whisper. With
these two sounds DR.. Dudley and his
Vocoder can create speech by using
the "hiss" for forming consonants and
the "buzz" for vowel sounds.
Jumping from these two simple
sounds to more complex tones, Dr.
Dudley is able to develop speech from
an organ arrangement of the "Bells
of St. Marys." Mr.. Vadersen sings
the lyrics into a microphone, but the
audience hears sounds as if the organ
was doing the vocalizing.

The states share of the first half
of 1899 taxes collected by counties
was 1858, 66089, a drop of $780,
95928 from the amount realized for
the same period in 1888, according
to a report by State Treasurer Ray
N. Shannon. The treasurer said
the decrease was duef to a drop in
the state tax levy effective in the
period of the collections. Shannon
said several counties showed in
creased collections despite the levy
decrease.
