MANY SCIENTIFIC EXHIBITS AT CHICAGO RADIO SHOW Defiance of death in the electric chair, cooking meals on a cake of ice, melting metal in a glass bowl which remains cold, the atom made visible to the naked eye, a flower instantly frozen to brittleness, a tube which absorbs enough energy from the human hand to start a big electric motor, noise made by a growing flower amplified to the volume of thunder-- these are a few of the startling spectacular scientific exhibits which will be shown at the Sixth Annual Chicago Radio Show at the Coliseum from October 10 to 16. These demonstrations will be made in the "Theater of Wireless Wonders" and represent the latest developments from the research laboratories of the General Electric, Westinghouse and other great electrical companies Bernays Johnson, noted scientist, will be in charge of these exhibits, assisted by a corps of engineers. Probably the most spectacular dem onstration will be made with the elec trie chair. Mr. Johnson will seat him self in the chair, the head cap and foot plates will be adjusted and 350 amperes and 2,200 volts of electricity will be shot through his body. This is three times the power used in the death chair recently installed in the Cook county jail and five times the power required to operate a street car. While this current is passing through his body, Mr. Johnson will place a piece of iron the size of a ten penny nail between his teeth and it will be melted by the powerful current. Mr. Johnson has performed this feat three or four times in the last year. The ordeal is so trying, however, that the test can only be made at infrequent intervals, prostration usually following Mr. Johnson's removal from the chair after the current is turned off. Aside from these scientific devices the Chicago Radio Show will be the greatest exposition of rado aparatus ever held. About 300 leadng manufacturers will have on display their latest models, many of them working direct from house lighting systems New speakers and battery eliminators will also be featured. To furnish the proper background for the elaborate displays of radio the General Manager G. Clayton Irwin, Jr will cause the Coliseum and its an aexes to be decorated at a cost of more than $50,000. Two tone lavender will be the general color scheme. A spec ially painted ceiling will be placed below the steel girders of the roof. A ton of natural simlax and nearly as much wisteria will adorn the pergola tops of the display booths.

RANDOLPH TORRYMAN lVi and Miss Torryman sailed on the Gigantic yesterday for a three months' tour of rural England." That was what the papers said. As a matter of fact, neither Mrs. Torryman nor her daughter, Marcia, bad sailed anywhere. Mrs. Torryman bad had her social secretary gfve out that Item of "society news" so that she might get a little well-earned rest. She was not as young as she used to be and the last social season had been a little too much for her. She wanted to get somewhere where she could dine at six and read herself to sleep at nine. In order to do this she absolutely bad to do the vanishing act For she was a very great lady In the social world; one of those who, If they speak to you three times at a dinner party, establish your social future beyond all doubt More than all Mrs. Torryman was anxious to remove Marcia from the sphere of influence of Capt Griswohl Ives, an army officer, well enough in his way but without money. She had other plans. So she took a small bouse In the rather remote small to*n of Glendale and whisked Marcia away there. Glendale had Its own society which never thought of connecting the rather dowdily dressed widow who had taken the "Stevenson place" with the great society leader they had read about in the papers. For the first three weeks nobody called. Then Mrs. Ralph Sllllnger, whose husband ran the town's "department store," Kas seized wRh a fit of curiosity and dropped In on the newcomers. She was very condescending and patronizing and decided to ask the newcomers to tea. She did, and then the trouble began Mrs. Torryman declined the Invitation on account of 'ill health," but Marcia accepted. All the women who attended Mrs. Sllllnger's tea were delighted to get a new arrival "In their midst" to patronize and took full ad vantage of the opportunity. AH very well. But Mrs. Sllllnger had a son, a young man of twenty six olr seven, heir apparent of the department store aud the greatest "catch" In Glendale. And llobert, the son, dropped ftr on his mother's tea party and saw Marcia. Robert was an overseas man; Marcia saw his Legion button and-took to him at once. They managed to get into a corner together and had a brief but earnest conversa tion. He asked permission to call and it was granted. The news of the "Infatuation" of Robert Sllllnger for the stranger girl went straight as an arrow to the ears of Cora Sanford; and the young man found an indignant and angiy girl waiting for him when he called on her the following night. When Cora had finished what she had to say Robert said, "Now Just let me talk a minute." His talk went back to the fighting fields of France; to i front line trench and two comrades in arms waiting for the rero hour to go over the top; and confiding messages to .each other to be delivered in case one Of them "went west" and the other survived. When he had finished Cora said, "Oh Bobble--how foolish I was to doubt you. Can I help?" "Perhaps," replied Robert, "but for a while you and I had better pretend to be rather on the outs.". Robert went to call on Marcia--and lie kept on calling. Mrs. Torryman was indifferent at first; then puzzled, and then indignant. That her daughter should seriously consider marrying Robert Sillingor was unthinkable. What did It mean? At last Mrs. Torryman $j!d tearfully, "I almost wish I had let you marry Grlswold Ives." "Well, you wouldn't,*, said Marcia, "and now you see!" Mrs. Torryman was really crying now. "Oh, please don't, mother," said Marcia soothingly. I'll tell you what I'll do. We'll compromise. I will dismiss Robert Siilinger this very night If you will cease to oppose my marriage with Captain Ives. "I suppose I must submit--you ungrateful child T returned Mrs. Torry man. You see Grlswold Ives and Robert Sllllnger had been "buddies'" over in France, and after the war Ives h^d gone Into the regular service and become a captain. Robert had been told all about Marcia--been told In dugouts and trenches; had seen her picture, which 'Grlswold always carried with him. And Grlswold had written to Marcia ail about his "buddy," Robert So, when they met at Mrs. Sllllnger's tea, and Marcia told Robert how matters stood, they just naturally hatched up their little con spiracy. - • • -'. • "T* Mrs. Torryman returned with her daughter to town hurriedly; and Robert and Cora were married soon after. --Marcia disposed of, Mr« Torryman cheerfully resigned the sceptre of society to youngerNhands; and, Captain > Ives' uncle dying and leaving blm a fortune, not only became reconciled to her daughter's marriage but became persuaded that she had brought it ibout herself.
