BELIEVE in OLD PROPHECY
Koreans Flock to Secure Holdings In
What They Are Satisfied 10 to
Be Great City.

Kelyong, the lonely mountain Of
Korea, experienced a real-estate boom
that made the oil-town promoter pal0
into insignificance. On a tiny piece OF
land on the mountain side were en-
camped 1852 persons, forming BIB
households, while hundreds more were
gathered at the base, bidding high
prices for the privilege Of buying .
bit OF land among the favored.
The Korean prophet, Chyong Kan,
whose writings have been preserved In
the ancestral mausoleum OF the one
time imperial family Of Korea, long
ago prophesied that Mount Kelyong
would be chosen as the religious CEN
ter Of the sect which he founded and
Of the peninsula. His prophecy has
recently been given great publicity, It
Is reported, and thousands Of Koreans
are flccking to the mountain, firm In
their belief that 1t Is to be one Of the
greatest cities Of the world and that
they are "getting in on the ground

The feeling that something Is

A Toronto doctor toiled evenings
for two winters building In his cellar

he pondered In detail everything from

When 1t came time to take the boat
to the freight train he abruptly

Of getting the boat out Of the cellar
except by tesring big hole In the
foundations Of the house and digging

Good Portable Lock.

A portable door and window lock
that can be carried In the pocket and
applied anywhere without nails or
screws has recently been invented by
b. N. Wickwire of Carbonate, Pa.
1t consists Of wedge that is placed
between the door and the door jamb.
The wedge carries series Of fine
teeth that are brought lightly into con-
tact with the wood by pressure upon a
lever. II anyone attempts to open the
door the movement wedges the lock
into the jamb and the teeth grip SO
firmly that the entire door frame must
be torn away, the inventor declares,
before the lock can be forced.

With hundreds of boys and grown
ups installing radiophone receiving
sets. Warren B. Hadley, District cleo
trical engineer. is considering wha;
steps he should take to protect these
enthusiasts from what he believes are
possible dangers in placing aerial
wires on the tops or exterior of
houses
The greatest danger in the care
less placing of aerial conductors with
which to listen in" by raidophone on
band concerts and messages going
through space is the possibility OF
the wire coming in contact with high
voltage electric wires, the electrical
engineer pointed out yesterday.
In setting up radiophone apparatus
merely for receiving conversation or
music the antennae may be installed
inside the house as well as out doors
and thereby remove the danger of
contact with high voltage lines, the
electrical engineer stated.
Cost Also Considered.
The only difficulty with placing all
of the apparatus indoors is that a
more expensive set would be needed
to cover "A large area than would be
required where the aerial conductor
was placed on the roof. he said
For that reason. he continued, near
ly all amateurs erect an exterior an
tennae. not desiring to invest in the
more costly equipment needed en-
tirely indoors.
An illustration of what boys some
times do in experimenting with wire
less sets came to the attention of Dis
trict officials some time ago. In that
instance there was no question of
contact with high-voltage wires, hut
the youthful tclegrapher did cause
noXious odorS to penetrate the house.
Climbing out on the roof in search
of a place to attach the aerial con-
ductor for his wireless. the lads eye
foil upon small vent pipe. providing
ventilation for the plumbing fixtures.
Plan Hardly Success.
The pole .of his wireless set fitted
snugly into the vent pipe and the boy
concluded that would be an ideal
place to fasten it. He did. but the re-
suit was soon noticeable in the house,
as the ventilation was shut off.
The District electrical regulations
are clear on the question OF how
radio stations for sending and recciv-
ing shouI1 be equipped and safe
guarded. But Hadley is not certain
how far his office should go in at
tempting to regulate the setting up of
small receiving stations only for lis
tening to music by radio-telephony.
The inspection force Of the electri
cal department is too small now for
the volume of work without having
the added burden of attempting to
supervise endless numbers of amateur
radiophone receiving stations.
The rapidity with which electric
service is being installed in old homes
as we'll as new ones has kept the
