CARRIES MUSIC MANY MILES.
Horn Said to Have Transmitted sounds Distinctly for a Most
 Remarkable Distance.

A length of 35 feet and an open ing of 12 feet square are the meas urements of the worlds largest horn for broadcastlng music received by radio. This giant horn is in success ful daily operation at IdOra park, public amusement~resOrtin in California. The brOadcasting capacity of this huge instrument is sufficient to carry radio music throughout an area of approximately 29 square miles. ~
 In addition to the general interest in its sheer size and simplifying range, 1t is of absorbing importance to the radio expert because of the fact that, through the use of its electro dynamic reproducer, such true tones have been produced as to eliminate what is technically known as distortion"
 One thousand feet of clear airplane spruce lumber went into the cOhstruc- tion of this horn. The engineers who built 1t were confronted with difficult ties of design and erection, owing to its giant size It is equipped with a late type of radio reprOducer and power ampllfier.
 Of course the construction of the horn was more or less in the nature of a spectacular stunt on the part of the amusement park, but the basic idea is nevertheless impressive. It is just another indication of far-reach- ing influence which warrants atten- tiOn

EVEREST TOP STILL UNTR0D
But British Explorers in Recent At- tempt Got to Height Never
 Previously Attained.

The highest point above sea level ever reached by human being afOot, 27, 300 feet, was attained, with the aid of experimenting apparatus. hy two members of the Mount Everest expedition at noon, the 27th of last May, says Henry S. White in the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. This brought the explorers within 1,7O2 feet of the summit, the highest point on the earth's surface. The final attempt was to have been made June 6, but the monsoon broke June 8, definitely frustrating any further efforts for this year at least. When the monsoon breaks on Mount Everest, there Is RO alternative but to get off the noun tain as soon as possible.
 It has now been definitely proved that the mountain itself at the highest points reached is not difficult to climb, and the two explorers who came so near to reaching the actual summit were able to proceed along the north face without ropes. The one and only obstacle that made the summit unat tainable was the bad weather, and with the monsoon left out, 1t is cer tain that the summit will be reached at the next attempt. The two eXplOr CTS who reached this highest nOint were Capt Godfrey Bruce, one of the leaders of the expedition, and George Finch, a scientist attached to 1t.

Rouah Men and Robins.

A few days ago a car inspector, looking over a coal train at Arkville, N. Y., discovered a birds nest on the top of journal box of an empty car. Investigation disclosed two baby rob- ips in the nest. The orphan birds at once became the center of attraction for the yard men and the various train crews. It was quite evident the young robins needed parents.
 In an effort to find the home of the young travellers 1t was learned that the empty car had been picked up at West Davenport 54 miles distant. A delegation of switchmen, yardmen, trainmen and other interested persons immediately waited on the division superintendent. The car was hooked on to an engine and taken back to West Davenport, where 1t was spotted In the railroad yard at the exact place from which it had been taken. The frantic mother bird found her little ones and everybody was happy.

SOMERS

A large cattle barn on the farm owned by Dr. Max Price of New York and occupied by Andrew J. Mum0lo, located on the Hall Hill road near the East LongmeadOw town line, was totally destroyed by fire early Monday night after being struck by lightning. The loss is estimated at from 5000 to $S,000. The barn was new and finely equipped structure. It was fill ed with hay, and made a blaze that attracted attention over a wide terri tory and drew many people to the scene. There were no facilities for fighting the flames. Sixteen head of cattle and several horses were saved by quick work after the fire was dis covered

 Chinese Censor Wedding Gifts.
 The American girl who is somewhat overwhelmed by the number of gifts received on her wedding day might well wish at times that she were a Chinese bride. The gifts sent to the home of the bride-tO-be are gravely inspected by her father and mother, who return those which are not de- sirable. This manner of censoring the incoming gifts does away with all pos sibiIity of duplication or of receiving articles which are not in harmony with the brides scheme of interior decOra- tion. Furthermore, she is spared the ordeal of feigning gratitude she does not feel for bridal mistits. But, on the other hand, she has no voice in the selection of the bridegroom, and too often the wedding day finds the bride a terrified little being in whose eyes turks blackest tragedy.
