Especial from United Press.)
 Delhi, India, Dec. S-A constant stream of gorgeously attired poten- tates poured in on King George this forenoon, to pay their official calls All were accompanied by their body guards, Prime Ministers and court of ficials and the troops had difficulty in holding back sightseers and natives
 The British court officials were kept Facing about ascertaining the proper rank of the visitors and marshaling them in their order.
 Already squabbles have arisen over the position assigned to certain chief tains, which may result in tribal trou- bles.
 In the afternoon, the King Emperor and QVeen-Empres unveiled a huge equestrian statue of King Edward, the All-India Memorial subscribed for by the British inhabitants and na- tive rulers.
 The unveiling ceremony was a bril- liant spectacle. The streets were lin- ed with troops and the picturesque Seaforth Highlanders and the Kings Royal Rifles, together with detach- ments of native troops, formed a cor don around the statue. Most of the Indian Princes were present and spe- cial arrangements had been made to allow the high caste Purdah (veiled) ladies, Ranies, Sultans and Princess es to witness the show without being under the gaze of the public. The beauties of the various princely har- ems were conveyed to the scene in closed filters from which they could peep at the King and Queen and get a glimpse of the great monument
 Following the ceremony, George and Mary returned to the royal camp and entertained a number of British officials at an informal dinner.

could be blown out by sound. In the
first place. you want a very powerful
tuning fork and a resonator "a hollow
sphere of brass). which Is exactly In
harmony with 1t. When the tuning
fork Is struck It sets up waves OF
sound. The resonator. hearing the
note, Immediately responds with sym.
pathetic waves. which are strong
enough to blow out a candle placed
behind It. Other experiments were
the forming Of what are known a.
Chladni sand figures on plates OF
metal by the influence Of sound. Tho
most beautiful results. as Professor
Thompson explained. are obtained
with fiat plates Of brass Of uniform
thickness and of a low note. When .
bow Is drawn along the edge so a. to
set up vibrations in one part. there II
discord with the vibrations Of the
other parts. and the sound immediate

greater the discord the better the pat
terms. Hundreds Of patterns can bs
produced in this way on one plate.
Many demonstrations were made to
show how. when things are tuned 70

pathy. A big tuning fork was struck
and then stopped-but another tuning
