Teleoraphy bv Taste.

Two radio engineers, Alfred N. Gold
smith and Edward T. Dickey, have
recently conducted a series Of expert
ments with the object Of determln'
ing the feasibility of reception Of
radio signals by the sense Of taste.
Electrodes were made which could he
placed under the tongue in such a way
as TO cause taste sensation when n
source of potential was connected to
them. Tests were made, using low po-
tentlal direct current, to ascertain the
amount of energy and potential power
necessary for taste reception. The
reception Of actual signals from an
antenna was tried II was found I'M
possible by using four stages OF am
utilization to obtain taste sensations
from all the signals the audibilty OF
which was greater than 800 In the
detector circuit. The results obtained
thus indicate that while from an cleo
trical standpoint II is possible to re-
celye RADIO signals by the sense OF
teste, the sense OF taste Is much In
ferlor TO that Of hearing or even oil
sight as a method Of reception.

hours. He had, the man explained,

IMPOSED SENTENCE BY WIRE

The telephone has long been recoc.

DESERTED WIRES FOR ALTAR
Japanese Feminine Telephone Opera
tors, superstltously inclined, In.
terfered With Business.

The extent to which tradition and
superstition often interfere with jap
anese business is indicated by the
sudden Increase In marriages among
telephone operators this year One
OF the Oldest customs In Japan Is
to assign the name OF a bird or an
animal TO each year. The year 1920
was monkey year." which in Japan
csc is pronounced "saru." Now, as
this also means ito go away" the ap-
prehension has arisen that girls mar
rled in that year are very apt to be
deserted by their husbands. The fol-
lowing year, however, is that Of the
birds, for which the japanese word
start" means Ito take" Hence q
marked increase has been noted In
the number Of girls who have taken
the matrimonial plunge.
As might be expected, the result has
not tended to improve the japanese
telephone service, which Is operated
exclusively by the government. There
are about 100000 applications for serv-
Ice now waiting TO be- filed, and
there is about one-half a telephone
for each 100 inhabitants, as against 10
telephones for each 100 inhabitants in
the United States.

ST. Nicholas, the
Holy Man of the
Fourth Century
7lIIlIIIllllllllllllll
NN THE entire category Of the

HN THE entire category OF the
saints none continues to enjoy q
more extended popularity than
st. Nicholas archbishop of Myra.
Al this time, when preparations are
Deing made for the celebration of the
birthday Of the Christ-child, II is par
ucularly fitting that we recall some
thing Of the character OF this holy
man Of the Fourth century and re-
member some of the legends which
bring him so close to us at Christmas
time.
Strange to say, while st. Nicholas Is
regarded as the special guardian OF
children, virgins and sailors, he came
to he regarded as the patron saint of
robbers, from an alleged adventure
with thieves, whom he compelled to
restore some stolen goods to their
proper owners.
In various parts Of the old world II
is customary for the elder members OF
the family to place little presents in
the shoes as well as the stockings OF
the younger relatives on the eve Of
81 Nicholas day. In converts the
young women used to place silk stock
ings at the door Of the apartment of
the abbess, with paper recommend.

While the emblem Of the three
golden balls is derived from the Lom-
bard merchants, yet St. Nlcho-
las is frequently pictorially represented
as bearing three golden balls or purses,
the origin Of which can be traced to
an act of the saint which has come
down TO us in the form Of an ecclesl-
astlcal notation.

Charles Yingiing Has Anthrax;
I Improving.

Cutting his face shaving, Charles
Yingling, 20 years old. of Bond street
was operated on at St. Joseph's Hos
pital, Baltimore, Saturday, for an
thraX. 1t is said to be the first case of
this disease treated at the hospital
The operation was a success and
young Yingling is on the way to re
cOvery.
The youth is a member of the
senior class of Loyola College. He in
fiicted the cut recently and the wound
became badly infected On February
8, he was taken to the hospital with {
high fever. 1t is believed the infection
resulted from shaving brush of cat
tie hair which carried the germs.
Physicians say the disease is very
rare in America, although it is wide
spread in Europe. The ailment is one
often found i'll horses and cattle, and
sometimes spreads to human beings
by way of shaving brushes.
