Parthenon In Danger Of Collapse.

Parthenon In Danger Of Collapse.
A shock will be given to lovers Of
antiquity by the suggestion made In
the Revue des Beaux Arts that the
Parthenon is in serious danger Of col
lapse. Witnl1 the las. twoIty years
tie columns seem to have lost their
rigidity, and unless the work Of
Strengthening the foundations is taken
in hand disaster may follow. The
cause of the threatened collapse is
the removal by arch@ologists Of
sculptcred ruins of an earlier temple
on the Acropolis which served as
foundations for the Parthenon, and
which have been taken to various mu.
seums for display and preservation.
No effective precautions were taken to
replace these relics by fresh masonry.
Modern Greece mas no money to spare
for the necessary work Of restoration,
tut 1t should not be difficult for thore
countries which have benefited from
the spoliation of the treasures Of Ath
eIs to raise funds to prevent the de.
structlon Of one Of the wonders OF
the Westminster Gazette.

Only Decoration That the British Sol
dIers Value Highly is the
"Victoria Cross"

The fact that there are no fewer
than $4,000 medals stored at Wool
Yich awaiting claimants causes one
to wonder whether tie soldier puts so
high a value on medals as is usually
supposed.
Nearly all of these medals are for
the Boer war, and there is a special
government department with staff
of clerks endeavoring to trace the
owners. Besides these Boer war
medals, there are 1000 medals for the
Zulu war which have never been
claimed, and even to this day belated
claims are still put in for medals for
the Crimea and Indian mutiny.
A short time ago, for example, a
veteran named James Crystal applied
for and received a medal for Afghan
istan. after lapse Of thirty years.
Most Of the Boer war medals at
woolwich belong to irregulars, who
Joined on the outbreak of the war,
ana, after 1t was over, scattered all
over the world. But many regulars
have not troubled to claim the medal,
alleging that It is too cheap, and con-
sidering that 100000 Of the medals
we're struck, 1t is certainly never like
ly to become a rarity.

a body the waves are reflected back

this echo would not be audible to the
human ear.
Il therefore provide an apparatus
which might be considered as an arti-
fcial ear. 1t is provided with a large
diaphragm tightly drawn over a
drum-shaped cylinder. and so ar
ranged that the atmospheric pressure

quite irrespective Of any air blast II

WAR MEDALS NOT CLAIMED

few medals were issued. The first
medal ever issued was that given to
the Elizabethan seamen who defeated
the Armada, and the earliest military
decoration was a silver badge issued
by Charles / in 1643 for presentation
to soldiers who had distinguished
themselves in forlorn hopes.
Waterloo was the first occasion
when there was a general issue Of
medals, and since that time, instead
Of issuing too few medals, England
has gone, perhaps to the other ex-
treme. Soldiers point out that the
same decoration is awarded to the
man who has been fighting at the
front and carrying his life in his
hands for months, as to the man In a
regiment which has never stirred
from the base Of operations or so
much as seen the enemy.
Every effort is made by the author
tiles to see that medals reach their
owners, and II the owner of medal
happens to be dead, the medal is for
warded to his next Of kin. Yet there
are still large numbers unclaimed

Briefly stated, he wishes to proVise
ships with a sixth sense, repre-
sented by an apparatus that will send
out vibrations and record minutely
the echoes" caused by them II they |
strike against any hard object near
the ship an iceberg, for example
Sir Hiram got his idea Of this sixth
sense from the bat, which, according
to him and other scientists, possesses
such a sense, and is able by means OF
1t to find its way about in the dark
with perfect ease.
The inventor explains his invention
In a pamphlet Just published by MIN
In London. The wreck OF the I1tanuc
was a severe and painful shock to US
all" he writes. Il asked myself; Has
science reached the end of its tether!
Is there no possible means OF avoid
ing such a deplorable loss OF life ana
property?' At the end Of four hours
It occurred to me that ships could De
provided with what might be ap-
propriatsly called a sixth sense, that
would detect large objects In their
immediate vicinity without the aid
Of a searchlight."
Then Sir Hiram set to work to
study the bats peculiar possession
in an endeavor to apply 1t to prevent
ing marine collisions, and soon hit
upon the idea which he now makes
public. Before describing the new
Maxim apparatus 1t is well to set
down what he has to say about that
which inspired 1t, the sixth sense Of
the bat.
Every naturalist that has either
experimental on bats or writes on
the subject" he says, seems to ad-
nit that the extraordinary append
ages attached to the bats face are
organs OF perception more or less
allied to the sense Of feeling, but
not one Of them, so far as can learn,
has ever suggested that these organs
are for the purpose of receiving the
echo from the vibrations Of the wings.
think was the first to discover this
The inventor goes on to show that
the wings of the bat are extremely
sensitive and very well provided with
nerves, which is also true of the va
rioua organs of the bats face. These
nerves, he maintains, are intimately
connected with each other and will
the brain. Thus a bat, flying abou
in total darkness, seers out, b!
means of its wings, series of pulsa
tions or wave-like sound waves, bu
too low to be considered a sound
These waves. striking against al
surrounding objects, are reflected

and light are, and these reflection
Of the vibrations, being received b,
!, the sensitive organs on the face O
the bat, enable it to Judge the dis
tance to any object by the lapse O
time between the sending out an
the receiving of the waves.
Coming, then, to his collision-pr'
. Venter, Sir Hiram says:
Suppose now that we construct a
apparatus that will produce atmt
% spheric vibrations of about the sam
y frequency as those produced by tn
