NORTHWICH, England, August 29
Shifting houses bodily several miles

whole town five feet is something
new. This is claimed to have been
accomplished by the surveyor of this
town in just under three years. The

including 10 streets, three banks, the
county court and 200 stores and
houses, has been raised to counter
act the effect of subsistence caused hv
the brine pumping which proceeds
continually in the salt mines under
the town.
There has been no stoppage of bust
ness, and only eight buildings. includ-
ing an ancient inn, have had to be de-
moliShed because they could not be
safely lifted.
In raising operations parts of the
lower brickwork were removed and
small hydraulic jacks inserted. Chem
lists stores were lifted carefully that
not one bottle was disturbed. The
town bridge was raised five feet at
each end to bring it up to the new
level of the town.
A windmill for generating electric
current for farms and a crop-drying
plant were recently shown at Chester,

Sound Reflection Helps
Blind to Comprehend

Whenever a sound impinges on q
fiat vertical surface of any appre-
eiable area it is reflected much the
same as light-not echoed. An echo
is also a reflection, but of a pro-
neunced type; but the sort of refiec-
ton to which l refer takes place at
distances shorter than necessary for
an echo, and results in merely the
addition to the original sound of a
characteristic quality that could prob
ably be classified as an overtone.
Poles, trees, walls, buildings, cars,
any fairly fiat, fairly vertical. good
sized surface, will produce this effect.
The seeing rarely, if ever, are aware
of it, of course. They do not need to
be. But the blind not only are aware
of it but make thoroughly practical
use of it for such everyday purposes
as locating objects or finding, for ex-
ample, the gaps in a long line Of
parked cars. When blind man taps
his walking stick on the pavement or
shuff1es his feet he is more often caus-
ing sounds which can be reflected than
trying to determine his location by
touch.
This utilization of one of hearings
possibilities generally wasted is also
one responsible for the p;xth sense
myth, and only one of the several
ways in which this sense when de-
vel0ped serves the blind.-Charles
MaGee Adams in the Atlantic Monthly.

Pretty Legend About
Island in South Seas

One of the most picturesque spots
in beautiful Hawaii Is Cocoanut is
land, in Hilo harbor. This little bit
of earthly paradise possesses myth
ical origin. The story runs that the
demi-god Maui with his magic hook
fished the island of Maui up from the
sea and planned to join 1t to the Is
land of Hawaii. The plan failed be-
cause one of his brothers, who was
in the canoe with him, disobeyed q
command that he must not look be-
hind, and the island of Maui slipped
back to its present position on the
map, and only small piece thereof,
Cocoanut island, remained on the
hook. In this district is Konolale, the
site of a famous temple, Manini, built
many centuries ago and reconstructed
in about 1460 by King Liloa. On that
occasion "a human sacrifices were Of
fered. When Liloa died, UNI and his
half-brother Hagau both wanted to

to secure it. uni got there first and
