M Planes--German Scientists Perfect Apparatus. Berlin.--The great interest manifested by German surgeons sad electrical scientists in the use of the stethoscope at Iqng range, with the aid of telephone and microphone, recalls early achievements of that character. As far back as June 24, 1910, there was published an account of the first telephonic auto- World's Oldest Edifice? 1 y ^ 0 Underwood and Ond^rwood Pbrtly excavated top of the citadel of Ur of the Chaldees and the Temple ^ the Moon, on the lower KOphrates, 'which Dr. George B. Gordon, whose portrait is inserted, thinks is between six and seven thousand years old and probably the oldest edifice of any sort In the world. Dr. Gordon is director of the Oniversity of Pennsylvania museum and in charge of the excavations at {Jr. cultatlon. As described by MM electric engineer, Baumgardt, a physician on the Isle of Wight examined the heart of a woman patient m London, using for the purpose telephonic communication, aided by Brown's microphone. lathis way he not only heard distinctly the beating of her heart, but he heard It about twenty times more plainly than though he had been at her side listening directly through the ordinary stethoscope. , "Qerman Scientists Tackle It. '* This achievement was reported lb the London Society of Electrical Engineers, bat it was not at once followed tip by the medical profession because of some uncertainties in the transmission. The Medical Society of Berlin now has taken it up with the same zeal that Koch and other German scientists displayed in taking up the bacteriological discoveries of Pasteur, and seems confident that it will come into practical use. When the physician applies his stethoscope, or even the unaided ear, to the region of the heart he hears, if the patient's heart is in health, regular beatings corresponding to the poetical foot known as the troches. In ailments of the heart the rhythm or the character of the sound changes, definite shifts being characteristic of definite diseases, and the experienced physician hears the modifications and knows how to Interpret them. Shows Experiments. At tbe medical society Dr. Leo Jacobsohn showed his experiments. He uses for this purpose the vacuum tubes which In spark telegraphy are inserted for the intensification of the Rounds. With a relatively small apparatus of about the size of a big dictionary the sound units can be intensified a thousandfold. The ticking of a watch, for instance, can be heard in tbe furthest comer of a large halt Doctor Jacobsohn puts the microphone upon the chest and with the aid of his apparatus every one in the 1 all hears plainly the heart'* throbs. r. e system is not yet so fsr developed that a patient may call tbe most famous physicians In all tbe capitals of Europe to step before the apparatus and examine his heart.

Will CaMe . •> ' i - * v Vfctoed at VBOflOO Deedisd te Brakeman Who Saved From Death While WalkislB Over Railroad Groeein^, r-- - ^ ^Wmrddli, I1L--Hatred of a mother for a child, and which was reciprocated in kind, resulted in a remarkable action by Mrs. Ruth A. Chittenden of this vicinity, and which became known when her will was admitted to probate. She owned a farm of 200 acres in Douglas county, valued wbich she had inh tether. Her only ch^ IBSflbii, t>e- <ame estranged from bls.saather jund the antagonism betw«ft^Ke twoilbaed with the passta% iTfars. Tbe mother frequently informed her that abe proposed to JKe that her son did not secure a dollar of her fortune. Three years ago she had a narrow escape from death while walking over the crossing of tbe Illinois Central, here, and tfie_ quick action of Grover C. Ennis, .a brakeman, saved her from being maimed or killed. She was s« grateful that she presented him with a check for $1,000 and later gave him a deed to Iter farm, but retained a life Interest Inthe property. When she died recently and her will was admitted to probate, objection was filed by her son, but his protest was overrated. He then appealed tbe case to the higher court. The vOl. provided that $2,000 In cash was to go to the son. providing that he did not attack the validity of the will. In the event that he did, the money was to be divided between three sisters of the testatrix, the latter evidently being certain that the son would endeavor to recover the farm, and that in so doing he would be te danger of Mating also the $2,0Utt, ~r / The son 'is tatr to-htvi declared that he would make an effort to obtain all of the property, and would not be content with a smali portion as provided in Ms mother's will. It Is said that EQnig has disposed of the farm and that It will be difficult to recover possession, thus making It reasonably certain that the mother has succeeded In her effort to prevent her eon from securing possession of her estate, .Old Spanish Trail Followed In New Highway to Caltforpi - "Equal Divorces" in Britfti*.

Washington.--Just two blocks west of the White House on Pennsylvania avenue, a Gypsy family squats in abject poverty, tilth and squalor around the form of a dying babe while hundreds of dollars In solid gold tinkles and sparkles from the necklaced throats of its turbaaed women. It Is a scene from the dark ages, set down in the heart of civilization with startling reality. Perhaps this strange story ef an •ven stranger psychology, that places gaudy adornment above personal comfort and ignores the niceties of life, would never have been told had not a physician been summoned in a desperate effort to save the tiny imby's ebbing life. What he saw shocked him almost beyond expression. Following a ragged tot of a boy to 1019 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, he climbed two flights of stairs past heaps of filthy rags, by doorways that exhaled choking odors and finally was led to an ordinarily-sized room on the third floor. Pushing open the door, he beheld 14 gypsies--men, women and children--squatting in a circle around *a lone candle. The candle's din, yellow rays howed In the center of the floor a whimpering babe, struggling in the throes of bronchial pneumonia. Jfo one spoke; they only looked and hoped while their gold necklaces and braceleted arms flashed in the meager light One glance satisfied tbe phy- Wealth ileian that the child had small hope of recovery. Eight Sleep in One Room, Eight of tbe occupants of the room slept In It, the mother, father, five children And a young man member of the clan. They had kept the windows tightly closed, and it was with difficulty that the doctor persuaded the chieftain father to permit him to open one window even a few Inches. The room was absolutely devoid of furniture. The whole family tlept wrapped In silken comforts'on the floor. Not so much as a chair or table, or carpet, relieved tbe barren, dismal appearance of the room. The mantle was littered with medicine bottles and on the floor beside each pallet were glasses, some containing a few drops of coffee. Crumbs around the gtasses told what that family's festive boar<| was. The air in a room directly behind this nne was so foul that tbe phy siclan and an assistant who accompanied him, were obliged to hold handkerchiefs to their nostrils and mouths. Over the floor were scattered bits of decaying food and bottles filled with decaying refuse rested here and there. Planned Florida Trio. Yet the gypsies talked of going to Miami for the remainder of the winter, shook their heads and made the golden necklaces around their throats tinkle. John Mltcheom, the father and leader, explained that he had plenty of money and would gladly pay to have his child placed In a hospital, tie had trled^ but because it had first been stricken with whooping cough it must be sent to a contagious disease ward, and these were filled, tbf man said lie was told. "Theesa place, she no gude for the keed," be continued in broken English. "Pleesa help me get her in hospital-- I pay well, plenty money--and when she gets better we all motor to Miami--Florida, you know. We have nice automobile, and then, when weather here get better, we maybeso drive back again. If you theenk bes\ call In more doctor, but don' letta my leetle Mary die." The doctor did what be could for the baby and notified the Visit Ins: Nurse society of the pitiable condition of the family's living quarters. Then he had hls~ assistants place Gorky Sick of Russia; : Says He's Got Enough London.--Maxim Gorky, tbe Russian writer, has had enough of revolution.

GUESS HIS PEDIGREE "Rags" is his name, and he has caused excitement among dog fanciers of the Quaker city. The Philadelphia Kennel club introduced the dog at its annual show, and offered a cash prize of $900 to the person guessing its breed. The dog was found on the outskirts of the city, and seems at first glance to be a cross between an Airedale and a sheep dog. His coat is like a French poodle's, yet he is almost the size of a collie. "Rags" has the face of an Airedale, and when he stands and runs he has the appearance of an English setter. ROAD WILL BE JOY TO AUTOISTS w:- MrV' Klansmen Conduct Funerall I -a* I War Department Deeply Interested in New Highway From Military Standnoiot-- Section Weli Under Way. f>rteans.---Tl»e old Ipinlsb trail, a national highway from Jacksonville, Fla., to Los Angeles, Cat., along the gulf coast and through the territory Immediately north of the Mexican border, is destined to Include several sections of road the aqual of which will not be found In the United States, If plans of good roads- enthusiasts interested lu the project are carried cut Secretary Weeks- recently notified tbe New Orleans Association o* Commerce that the War department and the Department of Agriculture had reached an agreement jrhereby that section of the highway from New Orleans through tbe Louisiana marshes to the Mississippi coast had been 'placed on first priority as a federal aid project The War department Is deeply interested in the highway from a military viewpoint. It is estimated tliat a road through the marshes strong enough to withstand any gulf storm and to bear the weight of artillery would cost from $300,000 to $400,000 a mile, Including the necessary bridges. This would make the cost of the twenty miles to tbe Rigolets, one of the outlets of Lake Ponchartrain, approximately $8,- 000,000. It would necessarily be of special construction and so heavy as to require a minimum of repair. Construction of the marsh road would provide New Orleans with a highway to the north and east The only way of entering tbe city now, if motorists do not drive west to Baton Rouge and from there to New Orleans, is to ferry across Lake Ponchartrain, a water journey requiring at least two hours by the shortest route. Construction of the Florida section of the Spanish trail Is well under way and that state, with federal, state and county funds, now is building a broad, heavy concrete highway from Jacksonville to Pensacola, a distance of more than 375 miles. The highway will parallel the Seaboard Air Line railway from Jacksonville to Pensacola, a distance of more than 375 miles. The highway will parallel the Seaboard Air Line railway frort Jacksonville to River Junction »nd the Louisville & Nashville from River Junction to Pensacola. Prefers Prison te Wife, Man Says.
