By the photophone of Prof. A. G.a ham Bell speech was transmitted for a few hundred yards on beam of light. The improved apparatus of Ernst Ruh- mer, of Berlin, uses the speaking arc as transmitter instead of a silvered diaph- fagm, the arc being in the focus of a parabolic mirror; and the light is re- ceived, as In the older apparatus, by another parabolic reflector having se;e- nium call at It's focus, the sounds be- ing made audible by telephone in cir cult with this cell. Great sensitivene&a is claimed for the new cell as a result of cooling the seienium gradually from about 250 degrees C. The new apparatus can be used for transmitting speech to any distance up to ten miles. and pre- serves secrecy while being much more rapid than the ordinary heliograph.

Another interesting fact developed in a comparison of the figures of exports of boots and shoes from the United King dom and the United States is that the value per pair of the boots and shoes from the United States is apparently about 60 per cent. greater than that of those exported from the United Kingdom The 1902 figures of exports of boots and shoes from the United Kingdom show o. 466 056 pairs, valued at $9,229, ,S23, or 97 cents per pair; while from the United States in the same year the total number of pairs exported was 3,9G6. 766, and the total value $6, ,1S2 OSS, an average of $1 56 per pair Thus the average value per pair of boots and shoes exported from the United States is apparently more than 60 pei cent. in excess of that of boots and shoes exported from the United King dom. Yet. despite this higher price foI exports of boots and shoes from the United States is, as already indicated much more rapid than in those from the United Kingdom.
 These low average prices are explain ed by the fact that the statement of pairs and values include infants and children s shoes as well as those for adults, and the values given are based upon wholesale prices.

Carving 1000 Years Old Found, Boys World.
 A remarkable piece of antique Indian carving. which must he nearly thousand y ears old, was dug up in making an ex- cavation in the center of Vancouver, B C. The carving is Of brown sandstone. and the work must Nave been done with a sharp piece of flint or slate. It Is in two sections. one being a bowl and the other a bears head. It was found under the decayed stump of an immense cedar tree, and may have been placed there before the tree began tc grow and long before Columbus had any thought of discovering America.

 Striking analogies between radioactiv.- ty and the behavior of ozone have been pointed out by Prof. Richarz and Dr. Schenck. Prussi1n chemists. Freshly prepared ozone and ozone that has been decomposed by 6eozonizers have the power of causing condensation in a steam Jet, and imoart conductivity to the ail like the salts emitting Becquerel radld- tion. Photographic effects of ozone have been observed. It does not act u22.r barium platinocyanlde or zinc oxide, but 1t causes hexagonal zinc blende to
 fuoresce brightly. suggesting massive ions comparable with the Alpha rays of radium. Flatenum that has been in con- tact with ozone shows induced rad-ac- tivity. It is suggested that the slight conductivity of the atmosphere and cer- tain of the effects of radioactive suo- stances may be due to the formation and decomposition of ozone.

| lulu Harbor No. "a, was the recipient
last evening of handsome jewel pre-
sented him by the members of the Har-
Dor OH his entering upon his second
term. The presentation was made by
Admiral George Beckley, Purser Of the
Harbor. in neat speech.
The presentation took place in Har-
mony Hall. Admiral Beckley said;
Captain Mosher: 1 have the honor
to present to you this jewel from your
brothers of Honolulu Harbor No. "a in
token of your service as Master for
the second term"
Captain Mosher, who was greatly
surprised at the honor conferred upon
him, stepped down from the platform
and Admiral Beckley pinned the jewel
to his coat. Captain Mosher expressed
his surprise and thanked the donors
for the distinction.
Following the presentation the mem
a banquet was served.
The banquet was served in the special
dining room by Mine Host Lycurgus
and was a feast which amply satisfied
the inner man. Captain Mosher occu-
pied the head of the table and at his
right and left were Captains Whitney
and Lehners, United States Inspectors
of Hulls and Boilers, the special guests
of the Harbor. At the opposite end sat
Captain Lane with Admiral Beckley at
his left.
There was q pIentitude of salads and
other tempting cold dishes, which were
washed down with wine and beer. The
first toast was proposed by Admiral
Beckley. ITO our Distinguished Visit
ors. Captains Whitney and Lehners."
Captain whitney responded in hu-
morous vein, although some sound ad- |
vice was given. He said there were
three things a sailor couldn't do ashore

| and these were to ride kicking horse,
| tend a baby and manage a farm, but
there We're plenty of things he could do
at sea. He was glad to see such good
feeling among the members of 54 He
took an interest in all Harbors. They
were good features both for the owners
and the men and for any one of the
members who gets into trouble. If a
member kept his oath it tended to make
better man of him if not better
sailor. There was one thing they should
not do, and that was lower the stand
ard of the organization to the level Of
a labor union. In Harbor a master
learns to make life easier for his Off
GERS and open the way for them to ad
vancement, and the mates can teach
the Juniors. Captain Whitney thought

crowd.
Captain Lehners spoke briefly, saying
he was not a speechmaker. He was
glad to see a crowd of men with such
good humOr standing out on their faces.
For such good dinner as he had par
taken OF, he said he didn't care wheth-
er it rained every day in Honolulu.
Captain Mosher said he felt very
proud to be with the boys" at their
luau, and he felt proud of the associa-
tion, which ne said had been a good
thing for every one of them. The Har-
Dor had had a lot to contend with, but
it was growing stronger ard a little
better all the time. He thought all the
members had done pretty well by their
employers, judging from letters re-
ceiyed from the Inter-Island Company
and the Wilder Company and large
business firms interested IN shipping.
