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.

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

on the aportlujr pagu of the Guardian
a paragraph that said:
" 'In consequence of the number of

that In future only genuine challenges

each challenge must be paid for at the

" 'Arthur,' said 1. 'here's a chance for

"I read tbe notice to htm. and then
