BY MACHINERY First Aid for Men Who Lack the Nerve to Make Love in the Good Old Way TRY THIS SCHEME ON HER Phygmograph tlona for a Information Registers Girl's E mo Man Gives Authentic for Admirer, Whose Name Is Mentioned. Philadelphia. Hero Is a story that ought to send thrills of Joy to tho hearts of bashful men who haven't been able to muster up nerve enough to "pop the question" to the girl o! their choice and who have been hop ing fondly for another leap year to roll around. Just take the girl on an unsuspecting visit to tho laboratory of the psychological clinic of tho Univer sity of Pennsylvania, which Is dlroct ed by Dr. Llghtncr Wltmer, head of the department of psychology. Then have her place her hand dalut lly In a machine which you will no tice Is labeled a "phthysmograph" or "phygmograph," whatever that may be, and step Into an adjoining room to await developments. What the machine does Is to regis ter on a piece of paper a distinct line, which designates with precise correct ness the very emotions the mention of your name to the girl has caused her to experience. If the line Blnks despairingly down ward toward the bottom of tho paper take it from the "proposed machine" that your stock Is rather low with tho little woman, and you had better seize upon a confidential tip on paper and continue to press your suit a time longer. If, however, and this is Important, the line fairly leaps and bobs toward the top of the paper, everything's all right and you ought to rush out into the room where the girl Is seated, I draw her to your breast and say, "Well, tell me, why didn't I think of this long ago?" Before going Into the details of how this "phygmograph" works out in ac tual practice, some Idea ought to bo given of Its mechanical construction. In the first place, there Is a small metal cylinder on the inside of which is a rubber lining which fits the hand like a glove. It is into this rubber glove the girl inserts her hand. The space between the glove and the cylinder Is filled with water, r.nd on top of the cylinder is a tube that acts as a gauge, showing a contrac tion or an expansion of the girl's hand. As the hand contracts the water falls In the tube. At the same time a like effect is caused in a long rubber tube, and passing through the parti tion into the adjoining room; connect ed with the hose Is a sort of plston llke apparatus, tipped with a rubber diaphragm, at the end of which Is a lever which registers the contractions or expansions on the paper.

ASK THE TREE. A Thermometer Trunk Is a Farmer's Prized Possession. Washington. N. J. A treo that Is a better thermometer than any of those Instruments except tho very best Is owned by Lemual Gardner, of West Carloton avenue. It records tempera turcs -with unfailing accuracy when you know the key. Mr. Gardner has learned the code by long study. Four years, ago lightning split the tree down Its middle. Tho crack is about eight feet long and tho expan slon and contraction of the wood Is nlaln In the narrowlns or spreading ot the crack. Gardner has found that the crack begins to open at 10 degrees above iero. At 7 above It Is one eighth of an Inch from edge to edge of tha crack, and at zero the aper ture Is an even inch. , Wild Decs Raid a Farm. Southerland, Cal. Wild dogs a few nights ago raided E.

They appeared to gather at night, Just like a pack of wolves sad raid farms and truck garden where there is poultry or lira stock. HUN IN THEJON MASK I Was He MoMere? M. Gosselln-Lenc- tre Offers a New Theory as to Mysterious Prisoner. rarls. M. Gosselln-Lenotre, the noted historical writer, Is engaged up on a book which will present a now theory on the always fascinating sub ject of the Man In tho Iron Mask. Ho advances no loss an Idea than that tho mysterious prisoner of tho Dastlle and the Isle Salntc Marguerite, whoso story saddened tho hearts of so many novel readers, was the comedian and incomparable dramatist Mollere. The recognized authority of Lo notre Is such that the publication of his new work Is likely to create a very decided sensation. His experience In minute examination of historical docu ments Is exceptional, and it Is said that his new theory Is entirely based upon such evidence. He asserts that Mollere, after the supposed fatal seiz ure at tho playhouse, did not die at once, but, by order of the King, was arrested and Incarcerated. There are discrepancies of dates between his story and the accepted history of Mollere which Lonotrc must reconcile If his version Is to find be lievers; and, then, there Ib the Jaw bone of Mollere piously ' conserved nt the Comedle Francalse. There aro anxious Inquiries as to how Lenotre Is going to account for its presence there or whether he will pronounce It to bo as apocryphal as the skull ot Yorlck, which was the Indispensable property of every great Shakespearian actor from Garrlck to Edwin Booth.

An. ear specialist insists that deaf ness affects all tho- senses. He saya the reason for this Is that the ear ia only one servant ot tne sensory ser vice of the- human system. Loss ot hearing is really a partial paralysis of the braln. but owing to the sympa thetic connection of the- various sen sory nerve centers of the brain, the others Indirectly concerned have to combat for their very life the demoral izing influence of the affected center.
