Importance to the future historian. The
idea was suggested in Vienna six years
ago. but has only recently taken shape,
although it has already resulted in a
collection of 400 phonograph records
on durable metal. The purpose is to
record the languages Of Europe, and
eventually of the world, the music of
the different countries and speeches Of
notable personages. The collection now
embraces the Slavic, Servian, modern
Greek, Portuguese and Brazilian Ian
guages, with songs and dialects Of ma
tives of India and of Arabians and Be-
douins. An expedition under DR.. Poech
has penetrated New Guinea to repro
duce the speech of the Papuans.

Island, thirty-five miles south Of Co.
lombo, is inhabited by day by fruit
bats or flying foxes, and at night by
crows, and at sunrise and sunset may
be seen the curious spectacle Of two
immense flocks flying in opposite direc-
tions across the strait separating the
island from the mainland. the flying
foxes at a greater elevation than the
crows The cross migration lasting
about half an hour, is attended by
great chattering Of flying foxes and
cawing Of crows.
