IN BAY CITY,

An ordinance to regulate the opera
tlon of radio receiving sets and tC pre-
vent unnecessary interference to broad
cast reception has been enacted by Bay
City, Mich, according to Department of
Commerce Radio supervisor S. w. Ed
wards of Detroit.
According to the ordinance no person
or organization can operate a receiver
in the city until a license has been secur-
ed. The operator agrees to be response
BILE for the apparatus and tn permit its in
spection. The fee is $500 for a permit
good unless revoked, for violation OF regu-
lations. Sets must be operated so. that
they will not cause interference to broad
cast reception on nearby receivers. Ra-
do dealers are permitted to demonstrate
sets without licenses for a period Of ten
days.
Violations are punishable by a fine Of
not in excess Of $500 and Imprisonment
for three months, or either. A third
violation will bring a revocation OF the
license.
Although several cities are known to
have passed ordinances against radio
interference, this is the first city to i'm
pOse licensing requirements for receiving
sets with an established fee for their use
in this country.-B0StOR American.

BEET SUGAR PROCESS.
New Invention For England.

AT the annual meeting of the Nor
folk Farmers Union at Norwich, Mr.. D.
j. Coleman, one of the best known agri-
culturists in West Norfolk, unfolded a
scheme for a new beet sugar factory
at Kings Lynn, where, owing to the
new process of extraction, it will be
possible to pay the beet growers higher
rates and other concessions amounting
to los per ton more than they are re-
ceving from existing factories
The factory is to be erected, and about
10000 acres Of beets have already been
promised for it. Norfolk already is the
leading beet growing county, with more
than 5000 acres grown last year.

Under the new process, which has
been tried in Italy for three years, beets
can be manufactured into sugar al The
year round instead Of in one extensive
season. Factories need not be Sc large
thus involving less capital outlay and
less cost to run. London DAILY Mail.

Sciences Newest Theory That the Con-
tioents Are Drifting on the Surface of
the Globe Like Crusts in Thick Soup and
That All Land Was once ore Super
Continent That the Sun and
Moon Pulled Apart
Concluded from yesterdays AviS)

For centuries the breeding place and
habits of the eel was a profound mystery.
The Romans concerned themselves with
the matter. but unsuccessfulIy. No eel
was ever known to breed in captivity
and no eel was ever known to breed in
any river. lake, pond or stream. Their
mating place was somewhere in the At
lartic Ocean-hut where?
Just before the war IN earnest Danish
scientist, Professor jobs, Schmidt, deter
mined to find out. He set forth in a
little ship equipped with nets and dred-
ges. Now the eel passes through a meta
morpnosis something ike tadpole and
frog. Before it becomes an eel it is a
hatish. toothIess and entirely defenSeless
little creature that is quite transparent.
Il has to be, Tor it hasa long journey to
make and il it could be seen It would soon
be gobbled up by other fish It's transpar.
ency saves it, since it makes it practical
" invisible IN the water.
Professor Schmidt quartered the whole
North Atlantic. Then he went patiently
over it, almost foot by foot, catching
little cells. His problem was to keep get
ting them smaller and smaller. When he
/ ad reached the place where they were
smallest. why then, he would have reach
ed their breeding place.
The war came on but Professor
Schmidt went on patiently catching cells.
Submarines and war.ships meant nothing
to him; war as transitory but knowledge
was eternal. Finally he reached the Sar-
qossa Sea and there he found his ~littlest
eeIs. He had solved the mystery. The
vast depths of that region, it appeared,
was the only place in the Atlantic where
the eel could breed, since the eggs had
to be forced from the female by hydraul-
ic pressure. Down and down she went
into those depths until the eggs were
squeezed from her.
The scientist discovered that both the
varieties of cells bred thele, and that the
young of each were precisely similar.
for uncounted ages they had bred in that
spot. Then why did it take one variety
three times as long to make the journey
home as the other, and why did it take
them three times as lorg to mature.
Professor Schmidt was forced to the
conclusion that there could be only one
explanation. Originally their breeding
place had been equi-disfant from Europe
and America. But that slowly America
had drifted West and the Sargossa had
moved with the New World and not with
, 1926-03-05

the Old. And slowly the European cells
had adapted themselves to the three
times longer journey.
Both in the New ard the Old Worlds
are found similar fossils Of ancient ani-
mails and plants that could not possibly
have crossed the Cctaus if these Ind al
ways been where they now are. Living
creatures. such as certain varieties of
earth worms are found alike on all the
continents. The ancestors of these could
not possibly have burroWed their way
under the seas ror have swarm over.
Science has explained these p~uzziing
things by the theory that there once
were land bridges connecting the CONT
nents. That theory has admittedly many
weaknesses.
But if Professor Wegener is right.
there, of course, remains no mystery
whatever. The animals on the big, sin
gle cOntinentl could wander all over it.
The cracking apart took an extremely
long time, and there were no doubt con-
DectiUns between the separating masses
for ages. When the crack had Widened
too much to allow certain forms Of life
to cross it, The vegetation and animals
were still the same. As they drifted
further apart and climatic and other
manages came about the various species
began to develop in different ways and
new ones to arise,
But the original occupants Of the land
when it was all one continent left their
fossils, with all their puzzling similarity,
for man to puzzle over millions of years
after.
