Philippines Yield
Big Pottery Find

Manila, June 10 CA. p. by mail)-
One of the most extensive archeo-
logical Investigations ever made in
the Philippine Islands, covering a
period of three years, has been COM
pleted by an expedition, headed by
DR.. Carl E. Guthe of the University
of Michigan. A large number of
articles, principally Chinese pottery,
have already been shipped to the
University of Michigan and other
shipments are to follow.
I 1.-The expedition which was initi-
ated through the efforts of the late
Dean c. Worcester, former secretary
of the interior of the Philippines, has
merely scratched the surface of Phil
ippine archaeology" DR.. Guthe stated,
land we hope that the results OBJ
tanned thus far will serve as a basis
to advance the study of Philippine
anthropology among scientists.
1.-THE original purpose Of the eXpe-
dition was to make as complete a
study of the burial caves of the Phil
ippines as conditions and time per-
mitted. The problem was found to
be much larger than expected, with
the result that the geogra phical linn
it's of the survey were curtailed to
include only that part of the archi-
pelaSo SOutn or the 18th parallel. IL
was also found that evidence of Chi
nese trade relations with the Islands
were encountered in graves and bur-
ial grounds long since forgotten,
which were accidentally disclosed by
the plows Of farmers In the hills.
THE material results alone far ex-
coed the most sanguine expectations
of those who instigated the expedi-
ton"
In the course of two and a half
gears work In the southern Philip
pines every Island of any size south
of the 18th parallel of latitude was
visited at least once by members of
the expedition More than 1000 I'M
broken specimens of Chinese wares
were collected and several thousand
of broken pieces were found in va
rious parts of the region explored.

"sound Reading" for Blind

Leningrad, June ia. +. by
MaiD professor Rosing, a famous
oculist of this city, has invented a
new device by means of which it is
claimed the blind are able to orientate
themselves and to read. In this ap-
paratus all daylight effects are re-
placed by sound. Experiments car
ried out in the Leningrad Institute
for the Blind showed that the chill
dren, after the use of the apparatus
was explained to them, were able by
the different shades Of sounds to
define many articles in the room and
to recognize persons who were pass
ing them.
Professor Rosing is working to per-
feet his apparatus and Is also evolv-
ing new radio apparatus for trans
uniting graphic images at distance.
By means of this apparatus, Pro-
fessor Rosing says. every letter of the
alphabet will be expressed by differ
ent sounds. So far as he has sue
ceeded in contriving definite sounds
for Is letters and Is hopeful of sue
ceeding in his ultimate task.
