fered an acute burning sensation in
the eyes, and his appetite was vora-
cious.
Experiment Nightmare.
When the fifth and last day dawned
he had lost all interest in everything
but sleep. He had to force himself TO
make the slightest movement, yet had
to keep moving all the time or fall
asleep on his feet.
The experiment was becoming a
nightmare, At l o'clock at night he
was permitted to sit on his bed unat-
tended. He dropped over on the mat
tress sound asleep. There he remained
almost as lifeless as a stone for ten
hours. When he awoke, however, he
went about his work as usual, little
the worse for his experience.

FINGER PRINTS BY
 RADIO OVER OCEAN
Police Chiefs Supplied With Key
 to New Code

London, Feb. 27.--All the police chiefs in the principal cities of the United States, and other parts of the world. have been supplied with the key of a new telegraphic code perfected by Superintendent Charles Collins. of the- finger print bureau at Scotland Yard, Under this plan, by which the radio is brought into play to assist the work of detec- tives in tracing criminals, tho records of persons held on suspicion may be obtained by wireless broad casting of their finger prints.
 The first use O. the new system was made recently when man ar- rested in London was identified in New York upon receipt of finger prints taken here. The suspect had no police record in London, but Scotland Yard officials doubted the mans alibi and sent his prints by radio to the New York police, the records of the bureau in that city revealing him as q we'll known criminal.
 In establishing the identity of the prisoner held in London, approxi- mately so letters and figdres were used In the Scotland Yard code system. '

SEA LIONS BRAINY AS
 DOCS; GREAT PETS
Given Enough Fish, They Can Be Taught Anything, Says Member of Amateur aIenagcrie Club.

London, Feb. 27.----The sea lion Is tho ideal pet and the perfect friend of man, according to recommenda- tlons made by members of the Anna teur Menagerie club, who published a book on their, various experiences with animals. Owing to the expense of the upkeep of sea lion, however, 1t Is not probable that they will ever replace cats and dogs as pets. A sea lion has all the intelligence of dog, adaptability and affection and re- quires no license, but ordinarily it costs from $500 to s70O a year to keep pet of this kind.
 One of the club members, l.. k. Brightwell, has had much experience with sea lions as pets and highly rec ommends them. In his opinion 1t is only the high rate for the use Of water and the cost of fish as food which prevents the sea lion becom- ing n Universal pet.
 "tirced is undoubtedly the sea lions one great fault" writes MT Brightwell, but given enough fish sea lion may be taught anything His amazing gifts of balancing, div ing and forming picturesque groups are implanted in him by nature"

 : In the Swedish Riksdog tho soci- al-Democratic Party. which forms the principal backing of the present government, has d membership or i04 out of total of gao deputies, or 45.2 percent, the highest in any country. The Communist representa- tives number only four, with ono in- dependent.

BICYCLES AND AUTOS
Belgium Manufactures Nearly As Many Two-Whecled Vehicles As the United States Does Cars.

Brussels, Feb. 27--Belgium for its size and population, can boast Of more bicycles than any other coun- try in the world. One out of every nine men. women and children in Belgium owns wheel. the official figures being 792,34S out of popu- lation of a little over 100000. Bicycle racing is the national sport of the little kingdom, and 54 velo- ldromes are holding weekly and bi- weekly meets.
 Belgian riders are noted for. their endurance and they devote most of their efforts to road racing over long distances. Up to 1923 and 1924. when Henri Pelissier of France and Otta- via Bottechia of Italy won the 1000 miles Tour de France" the race had been regularly carried off by Belgians. Local riders all look for ward to the winning of six-day race in America as the crowning suc- cess of their careers.

courts. Singers of the Vienna opera. whose voices are broadcast from the stage. have sued the manage nAnt on the grounds that their commercial value Is depreciated by the radio.
 An opera stars assets, they claim, depend not only upon hls ability as a singer, but also upon his acting. The fact that the radio can trans nit the voice only. but not the ges- lures, they contend, gives an er- roneous impression of the artist and thus interferes with his popularity to such an extent that his com merclal yaUe is lessened.

 Los Angeles.

San Pedro, Cal. Feb. e7.-Half the personnel of the United States navy will engage in what IS de- clared to be one of the greatest sham battles in American naval history, off the coast of Lower Cali fornia, Mexico. some time between Feb 25 and March 12. when the Pacific battle fleet, based here, is to 20 forth to meet the scouting heet from the east coast, theoretically irving to force an entrance to Los Angeles harbor.
 The combined strength of the fleets engaged in the maneuVers will be 13 battleships, 12o scout cruisers, destroyers and other war craft and 12 squadrons of aircraft These will be manned by some 4V'- 900 men.
 The eastern fleet of Vice-Admiral Josiah S. McKeen is scheduled to leave it's winter quarters at Guan- tanamo Bay Feb. IS, but, theoretl- callv. it will be late in the month when Admiral S. S. Robison, com mander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet learns that the "enemy" is ap- nroaching and leaves here to meet them, The probable meeting place will be Magdalena Bay, Lower Call fornia, as the eastern fleet will seek to establish a- base there.

GERMAN ACTIVITY
Firms Have Been Allowed to Establish Their Own Branches In
 Many Parts of British East Africa

London, Feb. 27. - Back to the old colony evidently is the purpose of many German commercial hrins who have established themselves III Kenva and Uganda, according 10 Colonel w. H. Franklin, trade commissioner in East Africa. Re- norting to the Department of over seas Trade, Colonel Franklin says
 "since September, 1923, German firms have been allowed to estao- ,,sb their own branches in Kenya and Ugenda, and today there are nearly dozen such establishments in Mombassa giving what can onIy he described as the loosest of creo't conditions.
 How far this is simply a means of commercial repenetration' or how far political exigencies enter into the matter, 1t is difficult to say, It is natural that Germany shQula trv to recapture commercially what she once dominated politically namely the Tanganyika territory < and it may also be matter or ma tional financial policy to hold capi. tal balances abroad in the shape oL long-dated bills"

Youths Seek
 Adventures in Tropics

London, Feb. 27.-The same ad- venturous youths who flocked to en- list under the flag when England's navy was called to Trafalgar, live today in modern England. Mitchell Hedges, who recently advertised for three youths to accompany him on an expedition to the wilds of Brit ish Honduras, has had 2,S00 appl- cations from boys. Most of the ap- plicants gave their age as 19, and
New Britain herald., 1925-02-27

finally Mir. Hedges selected two boys of this age and one four years older.
 The expedition is to search for cities and relics of the ancient Maya civilization. MT. Hodges is taking with him anew invention called the amber spray. which is to be used to spray a varnish like liquid on any relics discovered to protect them from the air and sun. The relics can be sprayed inch by inch as it is un- earthed, and later the varnish re- moved by spraying the object with another liquid.

BALTIC COUNTRIES
 SEEKING PEACE
Several of Them Agree to Sub init to Compulsory Arbitration

Helsingfors, Finland, Feb. 27.- The conference of representatives of the Baltic states, which closed here recently, was not convened for the establishment of any entente or al- liance as has been suggested in many European newspapers, Dr. Procope the Finnish minister of foreign affairs told the Associated Press today. In this connection he pointed out that a plan for such a alliance had been put forward i0 1922, but had been rejected by the Finnish parliament. and the situ- ation was still unchanged.
 Dr. Procope declared, however, that the Baltic states were in com- plete accord. particularly with re- gard to measures intended to secure peace Tn all questions touching on the worlds work for peace" he said, i've agree. We are ready to reduce our military expenditures, but subject to the provisions that we get sufficient protection against any danger that might menace us from the east. I am very happy to add that the foreign ministers of Poland, Esthonia and Latvia,, dur ing the recent conference, agreed with us to submit to compulsory ar bitration."
 Dr. Procope, after pointing out Finland's intimate relations with the Scandinavian and Baltic states. brought about by common racial ties. propinquity and cultural infiu- ences, declared that his country was continually widening its sphere of interest with regard to other na- tions.
 I've endeavor to keep on friendly terms with everybody" the minister said, land we have been fortunate in extending our connections, diploma tically and economically, with a great number of states. Thus the trade between Finland and the United States increased rapidly dur ing the last few years. Finland has been introduced to the American money market, and loans 10 the amount of s29,O0Q,OOO have been absorbed by American investors in years time"
 While declaring that Finland would never submit to communism, Dr. Procoge declared that his coun- try desired especially to maintain peaceful and friendly relations with soviet Russia.

MILLS GET COTTON
 FROM ASIA MINOR
Lancashire Receives 1000 Bales
 From Port Of MerSina

Liverpool, Feb. 27. - The ar rival here of 1000 bales of cotton from the port of Mersina, in Asia Minor, marks the opening of a new course of cotton supply to. the spin ming mills of Lancashire.
 It will be a new source In the sense of constituting m addition to the centers which now feed Lanca- shire with raw cotton, says the Westminster Gazette, but curiously enough it was from this quarter of the Turkish Empire that Britain first began to draw her cotton sup plies nearly four centuries ago. They were the mainstay Of cotton spinning in England before the days of Arkwright, and before cotSn cultivation in America assumed serious proportions.
 A ginning factory has been laid down at Adana, the headquarters of one of the three cultivating areas, and for which the port of Mersina is a natural outlet. The two other areas are the hinterland of smyrna and the valley of Sakaria. Adana can produce an annual crop of 100000 bales; her potentiality is described as a minimum of SoO,ooO bales to a maximum of two mil- lions.
 M. Husni, a member of a Man. chester cotton firm, has expressed the view that the Smyrna crop would sell at pass price (middling) and the American Egyptian hybrid crop of Adana would be worth more than pass price.
 "rhe classification of this cotton in a business and scientific way" he said, lis receiving very careful attention and next years crop will be offered on rigidly defined types
