Easter Island Statue
May Be Eorth's Oldest

The worlds most ancient statue is
to be found outside. not inside, the
British museum.
Il Is said that II took two hundred
men from the crew Of d. NJ S. Topaz,
and three hundred natives, to drag
the statue from its original site, al
though 1t weighs only four tons. 1t
Is the work of q race of huge build
ers and was one Of many similar CO
Iossal statues, some Of them weighing
as much as a hundred tons, scattered
over Easter island, In the Pacific.
These hideous images were origi-
ually supplied with hats, In some
cases weighing another FIVE or six
tons, which were red because they
were made Of tufa or volcanic rock.
All the hats have fallen off now and
are found lying around the huge
statues as though there had been q
high wind
This race Of ancient builders left
traces in the shape Of immense stone
monuments right across the Pacific,
and many Psychologists think that the
island on which these monuments are
found Is the last remnant left above
the surface Of a vast submerged con.
tnent There is nothing which fixes
the exact period Of this achievement,
but 1t Is possible that the statues are
at least as old as the pyramids of
Egypt.

Cabin of Naturalist
Far From the Croud

John Burroughs, the poet-phlloso-
pher, some time in the SOS built q
study of bark-a kind Of pavilion
in his yard at Riverby, his home on
q terrace that overlooked the Hudson
river, selecting point where he could
sit at desk and overlook the valley.
There he did much of his reading and
writing. He kept his books there.
From year to year the number Of
those who recognized the power and
beauty of his work increased, and as
his fame spread, his visitors became
more numerous. To be still farther
removed from the Interruptions Of his
vineyard and his household, he built
with his own hands a cabin In the
hills about two miles west of Riverby,
and there he did some Of his writing,
entertaining now and again some dis
tinguished invited guest He did his
own cooking and built his own fires
In chimney constructed with his own
hands. He called this place Slabsldes.
Theodore Roosevelt was among the
prominent men who visited him there.

Independent.

The telephone is in universal use to-
day, but many of those who use it con-
stantly fail to realize the magnitude
of the system behind it, or stop to
think of the multitude of complicated,
yet vital, features that are involved
in its operation.
Spectacular developments in the tele.
phone art during the past few years,
such as radiotelephony, telephotogra-
ply. television, and transatlantic COM
munication, have served to increase
the public's interest and the telephone
manager is constantly called upon to
discuss and explain these develop
ments.
Managers are always not only will
ing, but glad to make these talks. 1t
has been found that the better the
public understands the telephone sys.
tenn and its operation, the more It is
willing to extend the measure Of CO
operation with the company, which is
necessary in order to give the most
satisfactory service.

CALL JUDGED
LEGAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

By a recent decision of the Ohio
Supreme Court, legal instruments may
be acknowledged over the telephone
and documents acknowledged in this
way are valid. The decision was
reached in the case of the Logan Oil
and Gas Company VS.. NJ. X. Wells and
Wilbur Keith, of Cambridge. Ohio.
Keith had started drilling for gas on
farm which was owned by Wells,
and the Logan Oil and Gas Company
claimed lease. The defendants, how.
ever, held that the lease was invalid
because of Its recognition by telephone.
When the case was tried before Judge
rurnbaugh, he found the lease to be
valid and now the Supreme Court has
upheld Judge Turubaughs decision.

Eye Hops and Skips
Along Printed Page

When the eye runs along q line Of
print In a book, 1t does not travel
smoothly from left to right Of the
page, but jumps from time to time.
taking In a whole word or, perhaps,
q few words at a time, and then
jumping on to a fresh group. says My
Magazine.
If the eyebaI is Illuminated with
q ray Of light, which 1t reflects back
again on to a moving Photographic
plate. the photograph will show ex-
actly, In the form of a number of lit
tie stripes, or bands, what movements
the eye has made.
These photographs, made with a
special instrument used at the psy-
chology laboratories at Stanford uni
versity, have enabled those studying
the languages to make a very fascl-
mating discovery. This is, that the
eye finds 1t much more comfortable
to read from the bottom Of the page
to the top than from the left to the
right and so we find that the an.
cient Chinese, some Of the earliest
people to invent writing, had the wnn-
derful sense to adopt the most suit
able style Of writing. for they started
at the bottom Of the page and wrote
upwards.
Another interesting discovery from
the study Of these photographs is that
the eye never bothers to begin read
Ing line Of print from the very be-
ginning, nor does 1t ever travel right
to the end. 1t focuses itself on the
second or third word Of a new line,
and takes in a little picture of the
meaning, and then skips on to the
next stopping place.

Teaching Lip Reading

For the benefit Of children whose
hearing happens to be defective, II Is
the custom at present in many states
to give those thus afflicted the benefit
Of some special instruction In lip
reading. The best way Of handling
this problem, It has been demon.
strated, is by having teachers who are
especially trained to go from school
to school for this purpose. The
classes are small, usually not more
than six or eight students, and the
advantages Of the plan is that 1t en-
ables children to continue their regu.
lar work in the school classes which
suits the parents better than sending
them to special schools. 1t is also
more economical from the standpoint
If the educational authorities.

itself in about three days time, lay
ing the tiny strand very evenly by
turning its head to guide the thread,
just as the silk braiding machines
make an even braid in the telephone
cords.
After the worm has been in the
cocoon for a short time, it moistens
one end of the fibre shell, probes aside
the flbres and flies away, a brilliant
moth. The life cycle is completed
when the moth mates and the eggs
that result become silkworms which
in turn again make cocoons and re.
peat the process.
The cultivation Of the silkworm and
the mulberry tree upon which the
worm lives is an ancient art in the
Orient. 1t is said that about $500,
B. c., a Chinese Empress after en-
couraging the planting OF mulberry
trees created interest which led to
the invention of looms to weave the
hbres into fabrics. Later the Japa-
nese and the Koreans entered into
competition with the Chinese. As for
India, princess is supposed to have
taken from China some eggs of the
insect and some seeds of the mulberry
tree concealed in the lining Of her
head dress.
AS the knowledge Of silk spread
throughout Europe the demand for it
grew until large caravans were needed
to transport it across the deserts to
the ports of the Mediterranean, where
the famous merchants of Venice and
Genoa bought 1t and sold it to the no.
bility of Europe.
Today the silk which the worm
spins is as greatly priced as in the
days of the Crusaders. Thousands o
people in China and Japan and in
France and Italy take care of the lit.
tie worms, bring them indoors II the
weather is too cold for them outside
and pick mulberry leaves for them to
eat. Then they unwind the silk from
the cocoons and spin 1t into silk
thread which in the course of time be
ZONES a necessary part Of telephone

FbTeS. The rdU silk Is then reeled
Silk, one of the oldest fabrics known,
Is now used more generally than ever
before in the history of civilization.
Silk is used extensively for clothing,
and the wardrobe of the well-dressed
woman Of today is largely composed
Of silken things. Silk also plays an
important part in industry. Among
the largest users of this commodity
in the communications field are the
telephone and telegraph companies.
Silk is strong, flexible and a good
lnsulator, all of which makes it prac-
hcable for telephone use. Silken
threads wrapped around the current
carrying wires or braided over groups
Of wires to hold them together, not
only protect them but improve their
appearance.
A large part of the silk brought to
this country is used by the Bell sys-
TEN. In every telephone switchboard
there are thousands OF feet Of silken
threads that encase the copper COW
cred wires. The covering Of each
switchboard cord that makes the con-
nection between telephone users, as
we'll as the receiver cords and cords
connecting the telephone with the bell
box contain silken threads.
The story of silk is story of olden
