OBITUARY
FRANK E. WADE DIES.
Frank E. Wade, retired piano manufacturer of Syra-
cuse, N. Y., was found dead of heart disease on the
morning of March 3 in his berth on a New York
Central train as it neared Syracuse. He was in his
fifty-seventh year. Mr. Wade sold the Amphion Piano
Co. a few years ago for nearly $2,000,000. Since re-
tirement he had divided his time between Syracuse
and New York. Three years ago he was an unsuc-
cessful candidate for the Republican nomination for
Representative. He was a graduate of Yale and of
the law school of Syracuse University. Mrs. Wade is
now in Europe. He practiced law in Syracuse for
several years. In 1906, with others, he entered the
piano manufacturing business with the purpose of a
player-piano invention. By 1909 the business had
grown so rapidly that Mr. Wade gave up law to
manage it.

DURIUM PHONOGRAPH RECORDS.
Dr. Hal T. Beans, Columbia University chemist,
New York, has invented non-breakable phonograph
records which he says can be produced on ordinary
printing presses so cheaply that they will retail for 15
cents each, and will soon be on sale. The new material
is called durium. It is a liquid in its original form,
but heat transforms it into an insoluble and infusible
solid of remarkable hardness and flexibility. The
phonograph records will be made of fiber discs coated
with durium.
