...died a bachelor April 15 ot last year (TIME, April 27) in London, where he had made his home since 1884, although of American parentage. Just now his sisters are erecting in the crypt of St. Paul's, London, a large bronze crucifix in his memory. It represents Christ holding a chalice, with a figure on either side. He designed it for the Boston library...

...apartment houses are afflicted with noises like these. Can anything be done to keep you from hearing simultaneously the matrimonial differences of the slovenly young couple upstairs, the radio in 4-A, the quacking of the saxophone across the hall and the telephonic improprieties of the bachelor below? Steel girders, plaster and cement can muffle but never quite extinguish sound; but last week a scientist came forward with the statement that noise can be kept out of a room just as well as a snowstorm can; that a scream can be locked up. He, Dr. Paul Heyl, Chief...
