The Earth as a Sphere.

DR.. William +. Warren, president
emeritus nf Boston universityr-!a-2 >
late number Of the Classical Journal.
gives fresh evidence for the view so
long advocated by him that man from
the earliest times has had the con-
ception OF the earth as sphere. He
reviews the mythical geography OF the
Eas: Aryahs, showing that they look
ed upon the earth as sphere, and con-
siders wll3t light this East Aryan
geography throws upon the wander
;lgs Of 10 as described by Aeschylus
In his "Prometheus Bound" and upon
The geographic ideas of prehistoric
Greeks.
The conclusion Is that this old myth
as poetically retold by Aeschylus re-
veaIS Il conception of the earth identi-
cal with the spherical idea of the East
.Ary;i.s. Doctor Warren has given us
vigorous piece Of criticism in this
paper. succeeding in making clear the
Journey Of 10 which so baflled the
great Greek historian Grole that he
said: "The route of 10 in the Prone
thcus Bound deties all comprehension,
even as a consistent picture" Such q
r.Dcr reminds us that Hellenic liter
atnrc has not heen exhausted by origt-
nal investigation.

Guarding Against Fires.

These are the days when the fire
hazard is considerably increased over
what it was in the summer months
With the coming of cool weather,
quick fires are started in the stove
or furnace and often flue is discov-
cred that neels repair. Accumulation
=, of inflammable rubbish increased
numbers in winter, and that means
additional chances of accidental fire
Kerosene is employed ingreater quan
titles, being used for starting fires
and for lighting lamps, and there is
, the hazard increased. An even graver
menace lies in the improper handling
of gasoline. 1t is highly important
that every precaution be taken to
store the gasoline supply in properly
located and constructed reservoirs.
This is the season also for the form
er to look. to his fire fighting equip
ment. A pail of water is the oldest
simplest, aud cheapest of fire exiting
; uishers. There is no reason why pals
of water to be used onley in case or
fire, should not be installed in every
farm building. If possible they should
be painted special color, preferably
red, or labled so as to be conspicuous
and less subject to unauthorized use
The chemical extinguisher has
come into quite general use on auto
mobiles and elsewhere about the farm
and has many advantages over the
water bucket 1t can be employed for
example, in. .subduing fires among
oils, where water is of no value.
In the absence of a chemical ex-
tinguisher sand is servicable in ex-
Itinguishing burning oils in case of
a small fire on the floor or in
shallow container. Sawdust is also
|affective in putting out oil fires, 1t
it is scattered over the entire surface
of the burning liquid so as to smother
the flames. The United states Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued
Formers Bulletin 904, Fire Prevent
ion and Fire Fighting on the Farm"

Elimination of the 'hum" Is. accord

with the ordinary electric light line. a
problem which, 1t may be said, has
long confronted radio engineers.
/ Another advance in wireless prog

man.
All that is required now, in the way
of voltage, is any ordinary LAMP sock

the lamp. plug in" pony wireless

What the engineers of the De Forest
laboratories have been doing for the
last several months between High
bridge, Westchester, and downtown,
New York.
"Aftcr several months Of constant
effort and experimentation. in the Held
of the wireless telephone" said Or.
d. Forest. "it is more than gratifying
to be able to announce that we have
at last succeeded in applying the prin-
cipIeS of the radio art in such a way
that any one may now. without tech

that probably nine-tenths Of the elec.

great heneflt thus placed at the dis

"Such i feat may be, no doubt,
little surprising to the ordinary lay
man. hut there Is no question today
bul The dawn Of new wireless age

the ordinary lamp socket found in any

wirgless panel will do the trick. The

IcebergS are often Of enormous
