This will show itself by a white dust or shaving which will form on the record as it is reproduced. To remedy this, the link which connects reproducer arm with glass should be removed and a shorter one substituted.

ZEMAN'S PHONOGRAPHIC METHOD OF BABY TENDING. Alderman Zeman, of Chicago, has made a discovery which, he claims, will bring joy and comfort to the parents of little babies.

At present the baby is teething and is more con- spicuously present than usual. The other night the baby started at 7 o'clock to howl.

Then sat down and wiped his perspiring brow. The child yelled more lustily than ever. w
