Ai HlK iS'JUi'U- mouth aviation meet tomorrow T. R. Phillips, the Liverpool Inventor-engineer, will ttttempt a demonstration in connection with an aeroplane of his new invention for controlling and di recting aerostats hy cthcrically trans mitted electricity. Phillips recently gave a demonstra tion with a 20-fot Zeppelin airship and showed his ability to raise, low-r. drive, stop and turn it at will by tHo manipulation of the keyboard of a transmitter. Phillips claims the prin ciple is applicable to man-carry! rr airships and aeroplanes, but primarily is intended for aerial torpedoes. "I can sit in an arm chair in Lon don." he says, "and make an airship drop a bunch of flowers in a friend's garden in Manchester, Paris or Ber lin, and with equal eaie I can make it drop explosives wherever I like. I believe it will revolutionize the exist ing methods of warfare. 1 have of fered the invention to the British gov ernment, which will inspect it soon." A test that was carried out recont ly shows it is possible to diagnose heart troubles by telephone a dis tance of 100 miles. The experiment was conducted between Mr. Milne's, house, on the Iale of Wight, where the seismologist' and four physicians, us ing an ordinary telephone, listened interestedly to the beating of a wo man's heart In London. A stethoscope held over her heart in the familiar manner was attached to a telephone recently invented by Sydney Brown by means of which sounds are magnified. it In her new book.

Selma l.agertof. the now world famous Swedish auihor. tells bow she wrote her masterpiece. "The Story of tiosta Berliug." As a girl of nine living on a farm she aspired to be an author and for many years filled every scrap of paper she coui.i lay un lunula ou with "verse aud nrnw with mA mmnm ti"- she was two and twenty sbe travel ed up to Stock holm to prepare to become a teacher and wrote no more.

Then long a tier sbe bad been a teacher at Luudskro&a the story bad grown to novel size, and when In 1800 the Iduu offered a prize for a short novelette she decided to submit five of her chapters. These sbe rewrote and sent to that periodical at the elev enth bour. It won tbe prize. Albert Blgelow Paine, who was Mark Twain's biographer and literary executor, displays a strong outcrop of native humor in his new book. The Ship Dwellers." Mr. Palne's uncon ventional record of his Mediterranean voyage is a charming account of tbe ' ways and wonders of tbe historic spots never worn threadbare by pil grim shoes- and staff. Here Is his ' theory of the meth od by which the ' stones of the pyre- mids were lifted to ! their places: j "It takes an Eng lishman to lead the way to light. Be ' says Cain empluaed mastodon to do his moving. Now we ; are on the way to I truth, but we must 1 go farther- a good ! deal farther. Cain did employ m.:sto impressive than cam uuG:-j on a of giants and a sixteen span bronto saur team yanking a stone as big as a bonded warehouse up Baalbec hill." HOTEL SPOOF. spoof. Spoof Is a word very few To- ' hil l MbWI - I - tbe Harry Lauder's Joka on an English Nswspaper. "I'll tell you a story about Arthur Roberts aud me." said narry Lauder,, the Scotch comedian. "The pair of as were In Manchester when we saw on the aportlujr pagu of the Guardian a paragraph that said: " 'In consequence of the number of unsupported challenges recently tr warded to this paper we give notice that In future only genuine challenges can be accepted for Insertion In our columns. As a proof of good fuilb each challenge must be paid for at the uniform rate of 1 shilling.' " 'Arthur,' said 1. 'here's a chance for a Joke.' " 'HowT said he. "I read tbe notice to htm. and then and there we concocted a challenge of which I shall never cease to be proud a hotel spoof challenge. Of course there is no sucb game or sport as get off Impromptu nonsense on stage. Well, our challenge ran: "Hotel Spoof.-Harry Lander, hear lng so much talk about A. Houerts be ing the champlou siraof player of Eng land, will play Roberts n game of ho tel spoof for 300 a side, catch-as-eatcb- ean, over eight (lights of hurdles, iwtb room barred. Address, money and man, H. Lauder. Comedy Theater, Manchester.' "That was tbe challenge, and we had no Idea what it meant after we had drawn it up. Nevertheless we carried it boldly to tbe Guardian office. Tbe clerk read It In i dazed way. "'One Insert .ou. please.' said Rob erts, planking down a shilling. '"Excuse me.' said the clerk, 'bat what la spoof? ' "Roberts glared at him. "'None of your nonsense with me, vounir man.' be irrowled. 'What Is spoof? You'll be asking what chess or whist Is next' "And the following morning, directly , under tbe editorial notice that 'only ! genuine challenges could be accepted1 I for insertion,' appeared our little pan 1 graph about hotel spoof i Safer than National Banks $ Better than U.
