SILENCE At AUCTION SALES

Auction sales can now be carried
on by electricity through methoo
that has been tried out in Holland.
The proyerbial taciturnity of the peo-
pie In that country accounts for the
success of the method there. and no
doubt most people would be glad TO 90
away with the Objectionable noise that
prevails at auctions.
In the present case, the method Is
applied to selling eggs in the weekly
markets which are held in the agri-
cultural districts. The eggs are sold
In lots of $500 in this case. Each Did
der has a numbered seat provided
with a push button and electric wiring
that goes to the sellers stand. A large
dial is set up here and 1t contains hg-
ures around 1t ranging from lowest TO
highest prices. Near it is a board with
corresponding sets Of figures and each
one of these can be lighted up by an
electric lamp. The seller explains the
nature Of the goods and then makes
contact to q motor device 80 that the
hand moves very slowly over the dial.
When at certain figure, bidder
presses his button and this lights up
the corresponding figure on the board
and the hand stops. Then 1t goes on
again and second bidder can indi-
cate larger figure, and so on. The
board shows at once which is the high

also indicates the number Of the seat
occupied by the bidder.

a. form Of smallpox. Somewhere
about the Tenth or Eleventh centuries,
when Arab culture and science famed
high in a mentally dark world, Arab
physicians distinguished the difference
between the two diseases. These men
noted that having smallpox did not
give immunity to measles and having
measles did not give immunity to
smallpox. They studied both diseases
and pointed out the difference In the
