clipping from Los Angeles paper sent by Mrs. M. L. Carter tells of a floral parade given recently in that city. It stated that what was declared to be the largest massed band ever assembled on this continent paraded the downtown streets as the preliminary feature to the Elks' floral parade. This massed band, which comprised 37 single bands, con- tained between 1500 and 1900 musi- clans. The largest massed band ever known to have been utilized heretofore in this country contained less than 1900 players. George Goldsmith, who was in charge of the massed band, led the pro- cession in an automobile.

HEARING A SHADOW

We have all spoken ot the proverbi- al pin to be heard dropping, and the silence that could be felt, but Graham Bell made the statement on May 17, 1878, that he could hear a shadow by interrupting the action of light upon selenium.
 Professor Willoughby Smith carried out this idea, and soon after heard the sound produced by the action of a ray of light upon bar of seienium in connection with a telephone.
 The experiment excited great inter est at the time because the telephone and photophone were then in their in- fancy.
 How was it done. A series of flash es of light were allowed to fall upon selenium, causing intervals of light and darkness The strength of the cur rent varied, and if the flashes suc- ceeded each other quickly enough, and with sufficient regularity, musical note was heard by a person listening at the telephone.
 Moreover, by placing a small mir TOT whereby light was reflected upon distand selenium cell. aided by lenses suitably arranged, Graham Bel was able to obtain articulate sounds at about TOO feet.
 Selenium is a rare element some- what resembling sulphur. In its vit- reous state it is a bad conductor tc electricity. but in its crystalline state it is very good one. and when ex- posed to light the electric resistance is diminished considerably.

 The place in the state capitol for the bronze tablet commemorating the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, De- cember 20, 1920, has been selected by the commission on scripture.

Thompson of H1rsford announced that the expense of placing the tablet in position would be met by the Con necticut Society of Mayfower Descend ants
 The tablet measures about four feet by three feet. It is quite heavy and 1t required the serength of five workmen 10 raise it to the position intended for if so that it could be seen by the men, bers of the commission before deciding on tho location. It is surInounted by a figure of the Mayfiower and scroll work on which appears: Plymouth 1e2o-Con- necticut 1920" The title of the organiza- ton which gave the tablet is also within the enclosure that is surrounded by a wreath at the head of the tablet.
