In these days Of education Il II
rather difncult to understand the mem
tality Of the people Of sixty or sew
enty years ago. but from the following
1t will be clear that they had not en-
tirely overcome the idea Of evil spirits
entering inanimate things. remarks
the London Times.
A tradition has been current in the
village Of Millbrook, Bedfordshire, that
sixty or seventy years ago two life
sized efigies were removed from the
altar tomb in the church owing to the
strange noises they were heard to
make, and removed to the cellar at
the rectory, where owing to their con-
tinuance of emitting noises they 80 dis
turbed the residents in the building
that in self-defense they were inferred
in the cOnsecrated ground of the
churchyard.
Local psychologists recently decided
to test the truth of the story. and after
three days digging recovered the
statues. The figures were decapitat-
ed and the man had lost his legs. but
the head Of the woman was recovered
and the mans head is in the possess
sion of a resident of the village.
The church records show that early
in the last century there was hand
some altar tomb with full-length fig
ures of William Huett and Mary, his
wife, in the church and these figures
agree with the records.
The figures are recumbent and the
hung with tassels carved in stone.
They represent a man clad in plate
armOr and a woman wearing the head
dress of the Elizabethan period. The
tomb and effigies are carved out of Tit
ternhoe stone and the traces of heavy
gliding and the superior workmanship
show that the monument must have
been a very handsome one, the approx
innate date of erection being about
1900.

Process Developed by War.

Making parabolic mirrors by chemi.
cal deposition on n glass mold Is de
scrihed as one of the war-quickened
processes. A layer of silver was de-
posted chemically on n highly polished
glass mirror, and was thickened cleo
frolytically, after which II was given
n sixteenth inch plating Of copper and
suitable backing of strengthening
material. Difference In expansion on
heating gave ready means of loosen
ing the metal from the glass. The
silver surface was given n waterproof
and heatproof coating OF lacquer, and
was ready for use in much less time
Than would have been required for
grinding and polishing n glass mirror.

Trees as Aerials for Wireless

II is difficult indeed to find some.
thing really new In radio communica.
tion. Things which are hailed as new
ln the daily press are more often
apt To prove merely developments or
improvements along wcll-known lines.
and IL Is in that class that the recent
tree aerial tests nj Washington fail.
As far back as 1907. experiments were
carried out In which trees were en-.
ployed ms aerials. In the recent tests
messages were received over quite n
distance by means of tree aerials. II
was also pointed out that messages
could he transmitted through the
agency of tree aerials over short dis.
tances. However, in view of the re-
markably sensitive receiving apparatus
available today, the use of tree acrials
is no more remarkable than II was
back in 1907, with the relatively crude
Instruments of that Scientific
