It ts so simple that it can be used without attracting the feast attention elther at home, in the thostre or in any public place, “Another thing that my invention pos- @esses, and which is lacked by all its Dredecessors in the field, is the property of not only transmitting sound, but of giving the listener, though he be stone eat, an exact idea of the distance passed by the pound waves.

More than that, it will be a great boon to those who are now experimenting with the wireless telephone.”” Mr. Pape explained to The Evening World reporter that the transmitting portion of his apparatus might be con- cealed in the pocket and at the same time pick up sounds from a considerable distance. In a pamphlet prepared by Mr. Pape he tells of other uses to which his acoustiphone can be put, as follows: “Its seoret installation as spy and de- tective in the wall or floor of an ad- Joining room where it ls suspected some eruel father or mother is abusing his or her children by treating them with cru- elty, or some cowardly wife-beater, whose poor victim ts locked up by him, or who hes not courage or wisdom enough to yeport the matter to the po- lice, will make a splendid instrument in the hands of the authorities, Perhaps two crooks or firebugs meet ang hold a Fendezvous planning a great robbery or other crime. “The acoustiphone might Me at their very feet and they would have no idea that it heard even their faintest whis- Per and tranamitted it to a listener far removed from them.

HORSES PERISH IN STABLE FIRE, |® Four Animals Burned to Death In Blaze That Aleo Destroyed a Brooklyn Bullding. Four horses were lost in a fire which @estroyed the barn of Nelson Brothers, oa! dealers at Beard and Richard streets, Brooklyn to-day.

A pathetic story of self-sacrificing paternal care came to light to-day when Helen Hassethot, of No. 79 Bast One Hundred Fitty-fourth street, was re- moved to the Childcen's Hosoital and Asylum for Idiot Children, on Randall's Island. Even now ‘her mother fears that her child will not receive the care which fias been hers for the past eighteen years. When the girl was two years old she had convulsions. A physician was con- sulted and chloroformed the girl. While under the anaesthetic a blood vessel 1. her brain was ruptured, and when sh recovered consciousness ahe was a: {dlot. Gradually the senses of sight and hearing disappeared, and later power of speech. Ever aince then the child has been kept in @ small shed, which connected with @ room in the basement of the Hassethot home. The girl was wild looting and unkempt, with matted hair and clothing torn, and was with- out shoes and stockings when taken to the asylum. When ene became violent she was placed in a small room, like a cell, the window being boarded up. ‘rom this cell came ories ‘lke those of an animal in distress, It was these cries whch caused new neighbors to com- piain to the Bronx police that an in- sane girl wae beng abused by her or. ‘Trurd, thead of the sanitary de- partment, ihvestigated and reported to Eyre of the Morrisanta Dr. A. BL pital, advised that Helen Hasselh sent to the asylum on Randall's Island, and this was done. PRAYED FOR DYING MAN ON “'L” STATION.
