. ] T 1 i H FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER' 22, 1918 \5})_301“1)(3? 0 ]:I‘cn‘ence ~(Qray % ,\V@bs&at" X HE Harvard-Yale ' football game ‘'was on at the sta- dium,- and ‘a° demonstration of the Sound Absorber was shortly to be on. Hon. William = Gazukes, ikl the, millionaire, who seemed te be renewing his youth, sat chatting excitedly with the inventor and a party. of friends. It seems that the Hon, Gazukes had-recently been forced, through a practical joke om himself, to become interested in this sound ab- sorber and to realize that it had a va- riety of possibilities, for his friend. 'axon, the inventor, had lain in wait for him ope day by the side of a bulld- ing. Hé had seen the millionaire com- 'ipg toward him, earnestly engaged in gonversation, and wishing to demon- .strate his inyention, he had qulckly sp! upon. 2 barret and, as quickly, ‘he Bad set the absorher in rapid vi- | bration, so @8 to disturb the atmo- | sphexe before the: faces of the gentle- !men. Neither was jable to hear the . other and’after much consternation | Faxon, ‘with a twinkle in his eye, con- | fronted them. A : Th¢ millionaire then became anxious {to try it on A crowd, and had secured ' geats for hi§ friends In little groups about the stadium, all of them being tocated within the Yale cheering line. ! “Little do: people about us know | what we have on our minds,” he was | eaying. ! . Théy were happily expectant and {faughed as the old gentleman added: [ “Or'should I say: ‘on our coats? * for i each one of the 30 men in the party . 'was supplied with a sound absorber. This invention was simply a circu- | lar plate, with curving edges, looking The ! something like a flattened bowl. Had Lain in Wait for Him. i i:iate was to catch vibrations, which ! are carrfed in ‘waves to their ears tl:rough the atmosphere around them. | To the center of the apparatus were ¥ | small revolting plates, which, being | fanlike, when set in motion would ¢ | break up, by an area of disturbed air, ¥ |the sound waves assembled in the ‘bowl. For, as the inventor argued, we cannot prevent the creation of noises, but we can in a great fheasure stop them from annoying us. Not caring to attract attention, the men had hgokeil the plates across their fnner coats at the chest, hanging !them from the front edges .of their § overcoat sleeve holes, and allowing the i flaps of their coats to hang out and {kide them from the side view. The i batteries which were to set the fans !in motion were in-an inner pocket of | each coat. Harvard rooters were busy, alter- |nately with Yale’s. The game stood | 8-0 for Harvard at the first half. Bands {were playing and college songs had been sung. Red and blue flags and banners were waved in the spirit of ‘the game of the season. 'The women, !whose costumes displayed predom- fnantly the colors.ef their.regpective ?yjenms, lent a gayety to the scene. The ' Crimson had emitted in one { ! ';J\‘ roar “Rah rah rah! Rah rah rah! Rah rah rah! Har-vard!” and Yale was get- | ting ready. Young men, swinging their arms to get the Elis to yell together, looked in surprise that there was . no response, ‘Agsin they tried, but could not hear themselves. Everyone was wondering what was | the matter. Plainly the leaders had i teen heard In the first place, but there was no response.. No one had Amazement on Every Face. sense enough to close his mouth, not- withstanding it had apparently become useless, for there was only an occasion- al sound, as though half articulated, where some velce had not come with- in the range of the sound absorbers distributed through the crowd. “Say, I shall bust,” groaned the in- ventor.” “We will ralse the devil. We must shut these things off,” for amaze- ment was évident on every face. “Am I bereft of my senses?’ one man _muttered. A Tiar .| drummer to drum. ing: “What's the naatter with the Klis? They've lost thefr wind!” Everyone was keyed to a. great ten- glon, especially. the Gazukes men, and all of them were greatly relieved when, on the' third attempt, they heard the leaders of the Blues call: '“Now, to- geth-er. Rah rah rah! Rah rah rah! Yale! Hoo-ray! We're all right!” Mr, Gazukes knew it would not do +o interrupt, the cheerirg again, and exhilarated with the first experiment, tt was) with. much uneasiness that he waited for a further test at the thea- ter later.

As the game proceeded, the inventor wag whispering to the millionaive: “Wouldn't it be more fun than a bar- rel eof monkeys to take it into the eallery of the stock exchange when t1ds were being made? Orders would be given and, not being heard, would forever fail to be carried out, What a pandemonium would result. How funny it would be to see the quota- tion men running back and forth be- fore the board as the prices came in, but with no noise in the pit. “I rather think, though,” said the millionaire, “that it would not be so roaringly funny, when we were put out.” - That evening at the performance of “Nancy’s Pancies,” the party was wftrs Waiting Expectantly. close to the orchestra. During 'the second act ome of the conspirators lenned toward the millionaire, when, ar previously arranged, they all ;urm»d ol the absorbers suspended over thelr vests, and endeavored to whisper, “They can't imagine what’s the mat- ter.” But the joke was on him, for he could not hear his own volce, and Mr. Gazukes could only guess at what he racant, ] A trio behind the footlights was waiting expectantly for an introduc- tion to their'song. The conductor, who at first was quietly waving his baton and indicating for the first violin to commence, then looked angrily at him and nodded his head wildly to go on, People were surprised.

Involuntarily they drew: their coats together and shut off the batteries. The millionaire cather sheepishly nudged the man next to him, but he was enjoying to the utmost his diabolical plan. When things went smoothly (he star improvised: * was no fanc¢y of Nancy’s, neithcr was it a fancy of ours.” Hon.
