War Caused Amber Shortage,

Amber is probably the n product
that disappeared from the markets
OF the entente world during the war.
Other German products were dupli-
Gated, but the closing of Germany's
ports cut off this trade, which has its
headquarters in Koenigsbcrg.
Long before the historic age the
natives upon the Prussian shores of
the Baltic gathered from It's waters,
in great quantities. priced bits Of am.
her. 1t is found mostly on the Baltic
coast between Koenigsberg and Mem
ell. Ancient Greece and Rome traf-
licked in this North sea product. Am
Der passed from merchant to merchant
into the furthest parts of Asia. 1t
was even used as currency. Thales
OF Melitus used amber in his first cleo
trical experiments, when he discov-
cred that when amber was well
rubbed 1t would attract cloth.
Amber has been discovered along

Havana. Cuba.-Wfth the recent sud.
den outbreak of cannibalistic practices
by voodoo worshipers, which have re.
suited in the deaths Of at least three
innocent children and a half dozen OF
the voodoOs, the latter by the applica-
ton Of lynch" law for the first time
in this country's history. fathers and
mothers are living in constant fear
that their little ones may be spirited
away by the superstitious negroes to
be offered up in sacrifice to "Chango,"
the god Of the "Brujos," as they are
called in the Castilian language.
The vOodoos are divided into vari-
Gus sects, each with it's separate god.
The latter include "Babagueye," god
of sickness; "Elecua." god Of injury ;
"Olorruun" god Of misery, and
"Chango,' the terrible god, to whom
human sacrifices are made.
Change" according to the voodoo
belief, was the son Of Olorruun and
A%naragun. He was slain by E1ecua,
the "god of injury" and assembled into
heaven from a ceiba, or god tree, In
the month Of May. 1t is in the month
of May, therefore, that the "Brujos"
observe their holy week, when Change
is expected to make a weekly visit
to the earth, descending by the ceiba,
his sacred tree, always m Monday.
The followers of Elecua do not d.
rectly offer human sacrifices, although
their healers sacrifice the lives of some
patients by giving them poisonous cor.
coctions, supposedly a mysterious cure
for some ailment, in order to restore
to health some other patient. Elecua,
being the "god of injury" his follow.
ers believe that good can come to one
person only through injury to an.
other. ..-
Voodooism is not practiced by the
negroes alone. Many white persons
also are said to secretly take part in
their religious meetings, and accusa-
ti0uS have been heard in various quar-.
tiers of the difficulties encountered by
officers seeking to break up their tenn
pies because of the obstacles placed In
their way by persons Of influence.
An active campaign by the authori.
ties in Havana and other parts of
the island have resulted in the cap
ture of numerous "B~rujos" and the
seizure of many curious and weird OBJ.
jects used by them.

Doth transmission and reception under
water. Both he and Mr.. Lowell were
sent to New London to work under
Commander Mcdowell In charge Of the
base. to install the apparatus for q try.
ont on submarine D-1. It Is 4 simple
continuance, the metal frame Of the
submarine itself being a part Of 1t,
this being used as q ground just as
the earth Is used in hand telegraphy.
The circuit Is thus made complete. As
finally perfected the loop consists OF
two insulated wires grounded at the
extreme ends of the hull carried over
suitable supports to the coming tower
and thence through "radio-lead-ins'
down into the boat to the receiving
and sending apparatus. A single turn
loop was used on the D-1. With its
top submerged three feet signals were
received from q submarine chaser
three-quarters of a mile away.
Boat Used a. "cnound."
A new type Of loop was tried on the
q. S. s. G-3, in which the lead-in wires
were brought in from the upper side
of the loop instead of the lower and
the entire loop was insulated from the
hull. Better, but not satisfactory, re-
suits were obtained. Up to this time
the frame of the boat had not been
used as a ground"
The lower side of the loop was re-
moved and the ends Of the wire fas-
tened to the bow and stern. The top
of the loop was submerged eight feet;
signals from Nauen, Germany were
clearly heard. Very sharp indications
Of direction were obtained when under
water or on top Of it. And soon other
stations were heard, including Carnar.
Won, England; Rome, Italy, and vari-
GUS merchant vessels. Later expert
ments showed that communications
can be carried on at sea under all con-
ditions more efficiently with the closed
loop aerial than with the ordinary
antenna now in general use.
When a submarine equipped with
any North American or European sta
tiOn can be received as distinctly as
when 1t is on the surface. The maxi
mum depth of submergence at which
signals can be heard is determined by
the wave length. ~~y-%aAs~
Signals cnn be transmitted from the
loop to q distance Of ten or twelve
miles when the submarine Is com.
pletely submerged, the maximum dis.
lance being obtained when the top OF
the loop is practically at the surface.
The distance decreases to two or three
miles when the loop is eight or nine
feet below the surface. ~rr.eHsu

The child with adenoids is almost invariably underweight, hollow chested and stoop shouldered, due to the labored breathing. Facial deformity is another result. The uppr teeth protrude, are crowded out of shape and become a fertile field for the development of Riggs disease.

TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 3. - The strangest express package ever re- ceived in Topeka has arrived from London.
 ii was wrapped in blue serge and a purple scarf. It had rosy cheeks, big grap eyes and captivating smile.
 The package was Miss Doreen Steer, 17-year-old English girl, who was shipped to Amenca by express to become the adopted daughter of Mir. and Mrs. T. w. Dare of Topeka. She is their grand neice.
 | Doreen was on a train on the way to Plymouth from London, and was IA miles from the seaport when the trainmen struck. She and her ex- pressman escort caught taxi for the 1l4-mile run and made the steamer | Noordam.
 Arrangements to have his neice sent by express were made by Mir. Dare through the local agent. An eX- press company representative accom- panied Miss Steer from London Go Plymouth. Other representatives met her in New York and Chicago, took her to hotels, engaged her railway passage and sleeper accommodations, arranged for her meals and took charge of her baggage She was de- 1 livered to MT.

ADENOIDS.


 Adenoids are handicapping more than 10. per cent of the American children in attaining normal, health ful development to manhood, accord ing to a recent extensive survey in population centers conducted by the United States Public Health Service.
 The results of the medical exam nations conducted by the draft boards indicate that a considerable proportion of the defects there dis covered were unquestionably due to the failure of parents to pay proper attention to the physical defects in young children. Excluding defective teeth, experience throughout the country shows that adenOids are among the most frequent of the physical defects of children.
 Adenoids may be prevented, or cured after development. As one of it's contributions to improve the ma tion's health and strengthen it's man hood in the Public Health Service has prepared booklet on adenoids for distribution to parents and school authorities.
 It tells the parents how the first appearance of adenoids may be de tected by the labored mouth breath ing of the child, particularly while sleeping. Since nature intended that we should breathe through the nose a provision by which the air thus breathed is purified and warmed be fore entering the lungs, it is evident that mouth breathing results in i'm purities getting into the air pas
