McIntyre, however, put up 4 fine game at third and retrievec himself to a great measure for his bad work of the day before. At the bat Lamb was most in evidence with three hits, although every player except Smith and Clancey conuected with the ball. Georgetown was in the lead up to the sixth inning, but in that period the Orioles made two runs, putting them one to the gcod. Up to that time Baltimore had made but six hits off Clancey, but in the seventh Keeler started the game, and when the deal was ended seven singles, a homer and a double had netted the Orioles eight runs. Georgetown made four in the last two in- nings, but the lead was too great to be overcome, The game yesterday demonstrated the fect that Georgetown is strong at the bat and with a little more steady coaching will “put up a creditable game in the field. The shake-up in the positicns seemed to work well, and Georgetown may yet be depended upon to retrieve her somewhat shattered fortunes.

RINGING NOISES EXPLAINED Doctor McCoy Describes for the Doctors and for the People the cause of Those Noises in the Ears Which Have Puzzled the Profession for Centuries, The Famous Physician Shows that the Tinnitus Aurium (Ringing Noises) Which Warn the Pa- tient of Approaching Deafness and Often Accompany Deafness, Are in a Word Imprisoned Sounds in the Inner Ear. While unnatural sounds occur in the head as the Tesult of too much blood passing to the brain and ears, still by far the greater number of cases of buzzing and ringing noises that are heard within the head result from entirely different causes than too much blood going to the head. In these cases where the noises heard in the head result from the rushing of un increased amount of blood to the brain, the sounds will be intermittent and will occur lke puffs of steam, cach puff corresponding to a beat cf the heart, which is forcing the blood along. The most common and prevalent noise in the head Js due to au Interference with or stoppage of the Inner alr passages that lead from the throat up bebind the ear drum. Noises resulting from this cause are often constant day and night. In some Granville Harford, 903 C st. n.e. Cured of deafness. cases these noises occur like the ringing of bells, the buzzing of a bee, the hiss of escaping steam, or the roar like that made by a waterfall. Those who suffer from such distressing noises, while often only slightly annoyed during the daytime, imagine the noises ere much worse at night, because the external noises of life during the day serve to partially drown those beard within the head. When the tube that leads from the throat to the ear drum 1s free and open and in health, the waves of sound coming from without are conveyed along the chan- nel leading down to the ear drum, and these sound waves canse the little drum to vibrate and repeat the sound to the inner chambers of the ear, where they are taken up by nerves and car- ried to the brain, After these sound waves have done their duty they pecs out through the tube that leads from the middle ear to the throat and are lost and gone. eee When these tubes are blocked up the sound waves, after entering the middle ear, and traveling along the channels and passages and canals of the inner ear, and having done thelr duty, finding no ‘opening for escape into the throat, remain in the ear, and one set of sound waves mingle with other and entirely different sound waves, until there is formed a confused jumble that never leaves, re- maining ever present, assuming the form of one of the peculiar varieties of ear noises that are so commonly heard. This 1s the explanation of those ringing noises in the ears which so often warn the patient of approaching deafness, and so often ac- company deafness. This is what the doctors mean by Tinnitus Aurium. eee It you go in a deep cave and have the entrance blocked up behind you so that there will be no outlet for the air that is contained in the cavern, and then cry out aloud, you will bear the ery re- peated from chamber to chamber, from gallery to gallery, until it comes back to you multiplied, in- creased and confused as a collection of discordant sounds, and entirely different from the original ery that you uttered, and the entire cave will echo and re-echo and repeat and vibrate with the waves of sound, until at last there will be heard an indis- tinct bum, which so permeates the imprisoned air that it can almost be felt by the superficial nerves of the body. ‘This is the same thing that occurs in the caverns of the ear when their outlet, the Eus- tachian tube, is blocked up by disease. eee Now, before any marked sense of lost bearing is observed, a great many people notice the confused and ringing noises in the ear. They nbtice they hear better in a crowd or in a noisy street car, where the rattle and hum of the machinery is taking place, than they can in the quiet of their own homes. The reason for this is that the- busy sounds of life drown the internal bead noises and allow in a nolsy place the external sounds to be analyzed, while in a more quiet place the head nolses make such an impression that ordinary con- versation is heard muffled and indistinct. eee One of the very first signs that the hearing is about to fail is the presence of ringing noises in the head. During the day the pleasures of a per- son 80 affected are seriously interfered with, while during the night ‘that follows a succession of hor- rors is presented which in many instances render refreshing sleep impossible. Duting the treatment ‘of deafness the usual course is to get the ringing Bolses to cease, and this often happens some little time before improvement in the hearing is no- ticed. LIKE CHIRPING CRICKETS, Mr. M. H. Best, 401 Wilson Bw Le Droit Park, Washingtoa, D. C.: "I have been deaf for more than twenty years and was growing deafer all the time. I had the most disagreeable lot of noises in my head that any one could Imagine— blowing poises sounds lk: tu my head and the chirping of troubled me constantly, and my head burt me 0 at night that I could not sleep. The noises have ceased and I sleep well, I was so deaf that people had to shout at me. The hearing in my left ear has been completely iestored.”” LIKE HISSING STEAM. P. S. Lesh, 180 P nw.t “TE was totally deaf in my left ear, My deafness resulted from an abscess. After the discharges stopped I found that I was deef and had distressing noises in my head, a coustant hissing lke escaping steam, ‘Then there was a throbbing nolse ax if I heard every pulaation of my heart. The noises bave ceased and my bearing is perfect.”” LIKE HUMMING BEES. Hiram Devers, 504 G st. s.w.: “I was absolutely stone deaf in my right ear, and I had constant noises, like the buzzing of insets or the humming of bees, There was a disagreeable stopped-up sensation, and that side of my head al- ways had a numb, dead feeling. The noises are gone, and my hearing is restoved.”” LIKE BLOWING HORNS. John Potter, 1527 33d. st. n.w.t “I had continuous rumbling noises in my ears both day and night. The noises became so great at night that they sounded like some one blowing horns in my ears. It made me very nervous. The noises have entirely left me, and I can bear a wateb tick distinctly.

C.: “My deafness came on twenty-six years ago, and it began with disagreeable noises in my head, a blowing sound, like the wiad during a storm, The noises have stopped and I can hear ordinary conversation.” ROARING NOISES.
