Scientists Now Able
to Hear Insects Eat

Mr.. G. x. Brain, professor of en-
tomology at the University of Stellen-
bosch. South Africa. has published an
astounding preliminary note" on the
adaptation Of certain radio principles
to insect investigation work.
Ordinary wireless apparatus is used.
The question of application, says the
professor. is a simple matter, and the
whole success or failure of the ar
rangement centers on the mfcrophone
and its surroundings.
Two portions of apple tree stem. in
tested with the larvae of the apple
and ounce borer. were placed in a
box in contact with the partition car
rying the .picrophones. and through
the headphones the movements of the
larvae could be heard distinctly and
the gnawing readily recognized.
The presence of weevils in grain and
in yeast cakes has. likewise, been de
tected. and attempts are being made
to secure a microphone which is suf-
ficiently sensitive, so that it may be
used for the detection of insect larvae

plished, will have an important bear

VIVID CONTRAST IN
WELCOME TO PRINCE

From no cource did the prince of
Wales receive a more gracious well
come to America than from this coun-
try's exclusive organization.
To be member of the Baronial Or
der of Runnymede your ancestor must
have been one of those barons who
700 years ago requested King John
to sign on the dotted line Of Magma
Charta itself.
Philadelphia is the headquarters OF
this baronial order and here 1t was
founded, says the Philadelphia In
quirer.
Charles Marshall. whose ancestor,
Christopher Marshall. was a live wire
of the Revolution, showed me the let
ter of welcome he sent to the prince
on behalf of the Runnymedes and like
wise the gracious acknowledgment
from the future successor of King
John.
Here you see VIVID contrasts. The
boyish and popular prince-the con-
tinuity of seven centuries of kings
since John-cheered In a land that
was unknown to civilized man for 25O
years after King John was in his
grave.

LEIGH HUNT AND MAR
IANNE KENT

r EIGH HUNT was a celebrated
- English writer who lived in the
Nineteenth century. Among his other
literary activities he was the editor
Of newspaper called the Examiner
and in this capacity he wrote of the
Prince Regent that he was "a fat
Adonis of fifty" For this disrespect-
full allusion he was sentenced to
prison for two years. But In serving
his sentence he achieved greater fame
for he became a sort Of minor martyr
and his cell was constantly visited by
the greatest people in the land.
Marianne Kent was Hunts be-
trothed. They became engaged when
she was thirteen and he seventeen
and as may be expected from such an
early match their love was intense.
Hunts letters to Marianne are in
spired epistles. as one Of the follow
ing quotations may indicate:
my dearest Marianne-I am very
uncomfortable; get up at five in
the morning. say word to nobody,
curse my stars until eleven at night
and then creep into bed and curse
my stars for tomorrow; and all this
because l love little b.ack-eyed girl
of fifteen whom nobody knows. with
my heart and soul. :"
The letter below was written after
Hunt had taken a walk in the
country:

in my heart in the quiet of rural
landscape and l have often consid-
cred it a proof of the purity and
reality Of my affection for you
that it always feels most power

West Point Never Filled

Cadets to the United States Mill

years Of happy life. Elizabeth's hus-
band. Foot Howell, died and then the

Dear Elizabeth.

eyes might be suffering while was
enjoying it. Do not, dear e., feel
obliged to answer my letters. Write
when thou canst-one word or ten.
The very blank paper which thy
hand has folded for my sake will be
dear to me.
Elizabeth, have been happy-far
more so than / expected in this life.
The sweet memory of the past few
weeks makes me rich forever. What
providence has in store for the future

but the past is mine-nlay not say
ours-sacred and beautiful. as Joy for
ever. Asking nothing of thee, and
with the tenderest regard for thy
grief and memories. have given that
what was thine by right-the love of
nm honest heart-not as a restraint
calling for NJ solicitude on thy part
as respects myself. Nobody is loser
