INVENTION AS AID TO MUTES
French Specialist Produces Contrlv
, ance to Improve Hearing Five
j Sirens Are Used.
I Deaf mutes are seldom absolutely
junablo to hear any sound, and by
measuring their perception and prop
erly cultivating tholr powers, many of
them may bo given a useful degree of
hearing.
( As the voice cannot bo varlod at
will in quality, pitch and Intensity,
Dr. Marage, the French specialist, has
jdeveloped a moro accurate acoumoter,
or measure of audition. Five sirens
'coupled together give tho fundamental
vibrations of the flvo vowels, and this
'apparatus gives sounds of constant
'quality that have a known pitch vary
ing with tho speed of the motor and
a known intensity changing with tho
pressure of tho air traversing tho ma
chine With tho ear at a distance of 20
Hnches, the intensity of sound Is rais
ed by Increasing tho air prossuro un
til tho vibrations aro percolved. The
normal ear hears sound produced un
der a pressuro of ono millimeter, nnd
If tho prossuro must bo raised to GO
millimeters to make the sound heard,
the sharpness of bearing Is put down
at 1-G0 and bo on.
. If there is no roaring at 200 mult
imeters the test Is continued with a
tube from tho siren to tho ear. The
perception varies for tho different
sounds, and a record Is made in flvo
divisions, showing tho sensitiveness
of the hearing for each of tho vowels.
Tho ear's capacity being known, it
is trained by tho slmplo and exact vi
brations of the vowel sjren. In suit
able cases bearing develops rapidly,
and results are reached In two months
that would require several years
wltk great exertion and fatigue to at.
tain by volco teaching.

BRAINS OF SOME GREAT Ml
Difference Detween Savages and
Races Long Civilized Is Given by
Prof. Frederick Mott.
Prof. Frederick W. Mott, lecturing
before tho Iloynl institution of Great
nutulu on "Tho Drain," said that, al
though in 88 per cent, of tho cases in
which tho brains of great men had
been weighed tho weight was abovo
tho average, brain weight Itself did
not nlwnys mean brain quality.
When there was lack of tho func
tlonntlng tissues, tho lecturor ex
plained, the structural material might
recelvo moro than Its normal share of
nourishment nnd tho extra weight be
duo to over-growth of "brain scaffold
ing." This nccounted for the very
largo nnd heavy brains sometimes
found in congenital Idiots. Point
IliK out that thu bruin weight of a iuoj
long civilized surpassed that of ab
orglncs, tho lecturor stated that
whereas tho ordlnnry European hos
pital patient had a heavier brain than
a savage, the Chinese coolie laborer's
brain, dovcloped by centuries of use,
weighed ono and one-half ounces moro
than that of tho European hospital pa
tient. Hcferrlng to the relative brain
weights of Caucasian men nnd women,
Professor Mott sold thnt tho female
brain had a good start, weighing
nearly one and one-half ounces more
than tho malo brain at birth. In ndult
life, howover, tho average man's brain
weighed about five and one-half
ounces moro than tho woman's.
Tho average weight of tho European

drams to 2 pounds 10 ounces 9 drams,
and of tho female brain 2 pounds 10
ounces 11 drams to 2 pounds 10 ounces

not this difference, since, In the strug

apply her brain as fully ns the male,

"Behave!" ho said with a laugh.
"What's tho Idea of that question?"
"Everybody's asking It lately," was

"There'B your answer now," he re

tlmo a man can pitch nine strikes out
of ten thrown balls and retire the

Tho most scrupulous cleanliness Is
neodod for tho health and beauty of
tho feet, and ro dally bath and R
comfortable supply of stockings are
requlrod. The best resultB aro ob
tained by putting on a fresh pair of
stockings every day, and In caso of
profuso perspiration they should be
changed at least twice a day. If the
stockings aro washed out Immediate
ly upon being taken off, bIx pairs
would mnko an adequate summer sup
ply. Silk Is undoubtetdly tho .best
stocking mnterlal for hot weather, this
being cooler to the feet than cotton
and permitting the Bhoes to slip on
moro easily. Gauze cotton 1b the next
best thing in point of softness to tho
foot, and throe pairs of quite fine stock
ings in this material can bo had for
ono dollar. Lisle, even In tho finest
qualities, Is to a certain degreo rasp
ing to tho foot, causing often, besides,
a most disagreeable burning.
Women In the smart sot go to tho
pedlcuro for the removal of corns and
callouses, but these afflictions can be
treated at homo and there aro special
baths for softening the horny places
and for resting all tho feet. Ono is
mndo with ordinary washing soda
about a half cupful to a gallon of wa
tor this being for softening tho cal
louses preparatory to their removal
with a knife or file or pumlccstone,
for ull of theso tools ore used. A bath
with n pound of sea salt will harden
nnd strengthen the feet. Camphor Is
useful for massaging, thus reducing
swelling, whllo massaging tho feet
and ankles every night wRh olive oil,
will, as the beauty saying Is, keep
thom young. All care lavished upon
tho feet tends to keep them in good
condition, even If the work consists
only of a dainty polishing of the too
nails. When theso are neglected they
harden and coarsen, sometimes chang
ing tholr nature and shape entirely.
Before ministering to tormenting
corns, bunions and callouses the feet
must always be soaked In a softening
bath, after which they should bo
scrupulously dried at every point
particularly botween tho toes and
then powdered. A good and cooling
foot powder, by the way, is one of tho

the pile toward the light, becauso that

After tho bath, attend to tho corns
or callouses at once, trimming the
nails only as often as Is needed. They
should bo cut square across nnd left
a llttlo longer than the flesh. If thero
aro soft corns, several foot baths a
day aro needed, also larger shoes, and
In extreme cases It may bo necessary
to place l's of absorbent cotton wet
with Bor- healing lotion or salvo be
tween t'e toes. For relief from blis
ter? 'ho excessive pain of corns and
other callosities, this slmplo pomade
Is highly recommended:
Melted mutton tallow 1H ounces

bruised 3 drams
Mix thoroughly and rub the whole
foot with It, massaging It well Into
tho skin.
A good bunion lotion Is mnde of two
drams each of carbolic acid, glycerin
and tincture of iodine.
Flatfoot is a condition much recogv
nlzed Just now, and In severe cases
It Is as doformlng as lemeness. It Is
not always recognizable at first, only
tho pain nnd difficulty In walking be
ing perceptible; but after a whllo tho
arch of the foot breaks down and then
tho beauty of It Is gone. So when
feeling a definite pain In tho Instep
It Is wise to wear strong-solod shoes
with a stiff spring In tho instep, as
these will counteract tho weak ten
dency of the arch. Inner soles with
high arches are also sold for the pur
pose, whllo doctors recommended foot
exercises for strengthening the mUB
cles of tho arch and Its supports.
But, to go back to the moro com
fort of summer tlmo, the simple things
ono may do to have mora ease with
feet whose only falling, maybe, comes
with hot weather, extremejleanllncas
and proper dressing are the things of
vital Importance. All exercise upon
the feet, too, will improve their con
dition and beauty, while the mere heat
of the hands, while massaging with
somo unguent or other, will be an Im
mediate relief to strained and tired
muscles.

place them on the mantels, In front of

place cards unless you seat the guests

I am afraid tho little two-year-old will

I am sure you can arrango a beauti

Advantage In Flat Brims,
Flat brims hav not been readily
thrown from their pinnacle of popular
ity, and women past their first youth
gladly accept the discretion of their
shelter, for the brim which upturns
from th face is too candid. The mid
dle way of brim upturned from the
brow to the back of the hoad at ono
side should bo given the preference,
and, by the bye, these have been,
speedily of the eloct, and they lend
themselves either to an outlining of
flat wings, or ospry, or a clump
flowers.
