lost a good deal of the popularity
they once enjoyed. The development
of the reflex circuit, with its use Of
the crystal for detector gave the
crystal detector a new lease on life
and a popularity that lasted for
about two years.
Fundamentally, the action of
crystal, detector is that of one-way
valve which allows current TO flow
in one direction. but stops it's flow
in the opposite rection. What ac-
tually happens is that it allows only
very weak or small current to flow
in the opposite direction under the
application of the same voltage in
either direction. The characteristics

There are mystery fishes in the

Harry Payne Bingham Of New York Is

The rhino is, so far as is known, an
inhabitant of the Gulf stream. Its huge
body is fashioned without single
bone, merely great mass OF many
tons Of muscle and tendon. The rhino
captured and shown at the Smithson-

Big Men, Big Heads

Michael Arlen snubbed a critic at
q tea in New York, and the critic SAID
to his wife afterwards on the way
home:
why shouldn't Arlen snub me? His
two plays are drawing full houses, and
all great men are vain. Look at Glib
bon
"Gibbon, you know, wrote in his
diary: 4 am the greatest historian that
ever lived. No one can equal me In
this direction
"Victor Hugo wrote to Bismarck
The giant greets the giant; the foe
the foe the friend the friend. l hate
thee furiously because thou hast num-
bled France. | love thee because
am greater than thou art
"And Wordsworth said of the Swan
of Avon: There Is an immensely Of
trick in all he wrote. If l had mind
| could write exactly like Shakes
peare.
NO wonder, then, l was snubbed,'
the critic ended; ''for If Gibbon and
Hugo and Wordsworth were vain, what
must be the vanity of chap like Ar
len, who makes more In week than
they did in year?'

Blue Glass and "Colds"

Lord Clifford of Chudleigh, who for
many years has been studying the ac
ton of colored light upon the growth
of vegetables, thinks that colors may
be used to cure diseases. One shade
Of red, he says, has pronounced eff
feet on cases of blood poisoning, while
ultraviolet produces fermentation
in the body which reduces hardness
of tissue In all his "cures" exposure
Of the body to the particular ray OF
colored light is what is supposed to
do the trick particular shade OF
violet, he says, causes the growth OF
veins. Indigo produces hydrocarbons
ates and body tissues. A shade Of blue
causes muscular growth. Green in
duces fat and yellow restores the
nerves But, Of course, Lord Clifford
makes clear, great care must be taken
that only the right shade of each color
is used-otherwise opposite results
may be obtained. Lord Clifford even
went so far as to suggest that "colds"
might be cured by the wearing of blue
glasses

Falls Monday afternoon and evening
Rev. George S. Brookes of the ELS
worth Congregational church, who is
soon to leave for a new field, made
his farewell address to the associ-
alton, in which he has been active
The association adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Ministers Association of Hancock
County, in monthly conference assem-
bled in the Union Congregational
church of Ellsworth Falls, do hereby
put on record our sincere appreciation
of the services that have been rem
dered in our county during the last ten
years, by our brother in the work, Rev.
George S. BrookeS, pastor of the First
Congregational church in Ellsworth.
For his intense devotion and loyalty
to the church, his associations with
us have been always of highly bene-
fetal nature and while we feel a keen
sense of loss at his going from us to
take up the duties of Union Congre
gational church of Rockville, Conn,
yet at the same time we heartily con-
graduate him on this important call
to a larger sphere of labor.

No "Losf" Continent
in Central Pacific

"Lemuria," "Nfu" and all other hypO-
thetical vast land areas forming lost"
Pacific continents, like the lost Attain
receive no credence on the part of DR..
Francis Xavier Schaffer, noted geolo-
gist Of Vienna, now travelling in the Pa
cific area and the Orient. Doctor
Schaffer is backed up in his opinions
also by the scientists at the Bernice
P. Bishop museum at Honolulu.
Though no land areas of continental
size ever existed in the Pacific, Doctor
Schaffer stated, there are regions of
movable zones where emergence and
submergence are constantly in prog
ress.
around the Pacific and connects the
Antarctic continent with the CONT
nents of the southern hemisphere 1t
is easy, too, to see that the northern
continents may more than once have
been connected by way of the Berlng
strait and by the rising of the relative
ly shallow sea bottom between Green
land and Europe"
Dr. Herbert E. Gregory, director OF
the Bishop museum, disagrees with
the theory advanced by DR.. j. Macmll-
Ian Brown, chancellor of the Univer-
sity of New Zealand, who claims that
the Pacific islands are the remnants
of once great empire that collapsed
into the ocean in series of cata-
clysms.
Geological evidence" said Doctor
Gregory. gives no proof that there
ever was large area of land in the
central Pacific. No rock has been
found which could be considered part
of an old continent. The only way
that biologists will ever be able to
make real test of these theories will
be by an extensive system of borings
which must extend through the coral
and the comparatively new levels Of
the islands, and also by carefully
planned sounding of the Paclhc
ocean" Science Service Bulletin.

ANCIENT EAR LORE
FOUND IN HISTORY
Expressions That Go Back
to Earliest Times.

1t is an old saying that if your ears
burn, people are talking about you.
This is very old, for Pliny, the Roman
philosopher who lost his life in the
destruction of POmpeii, A. d. 70, wrote,
when our ears DO glow and Jingle,
some do talk of us in our absence"
In his charming comedy, "Much Ado
About Nothing" act III, scene l,
Shakespeare makes the heroine, Beat
rice, say to Ursula and Hero who had
been talking of her, "What fire is in
myne carp
''To set people by the ear" means to
create ll-will among them; to set
them quarreling as metal pots slung
together rattle against each other.
"Walls have ears" means that what
is uttered In secret may get abroad.
Nowhere is this idea better expressed
than in Ecclesiastes 1920, which
reads: Course not the king, no not
in thy thought. for bird of
the air shall carry the voice, and that
which hath wings shall tell the mat
ter"
Chaucer. the Middle ages poet, and
the father of English poetry, expressed
the same idea in somewhat different
manner In one of his Canterbury
Tales he writes. THAT field hath even
(eyes), and the wood hath ears"
Then there is the expression which
takes one back much farther than
even the time Of Pliny. 1t is this.
"Mine ears hast thou bored" meaning
thou has accepted me as thy bond
slave for life If Hebrew servant de-
clined to go free after six years of
service, the master was to bring him to
the doorpost, and bore his ear through
with an awl, in token of his voluntary
servitude, which continued during the
remainder Of the servants life, Exc
dus q :1-6.
The French have saying which
may be translated, "To send one away
with flea in his ear" meaning to
send one away after giving one good
scolding, giving him through the ears
or hearing something serious to think
about so that he may correct his ways

The Modern Star

Booth Harrington was praising
movie actress who had made hit In
one Of his films.
"She's as witty and modest as she
is beautiful" he said. Some time ago
a director offered her splendid con-
tract to play the star part in a film
based on the Godive legend. With her
beauty she'd have made perfect Co
diva, and the salary the director Of
fered her was fabulous.
"Well, she read the Godiva script
and then she returned it to the direc'
tor. Across the cover she had written {:
