HOUDINI FAILS TC SEND
WIDOW CODE MESSAGE

NEW YORK.-Since the death OF
Harry Houdini, the magician, his
widow has waited in vain for his
promised communication from the
spirit world.
Before his death, Houdini left
with his wife code and said that
if possible he would communicate
with her in that code.
Mrs. Houdni has received many
messages from mediums who as
sert they have talked with her dead
husband, but their messages" have
not tailed with the code.

Of the eighty.one cha uffeurs and of

$S66,515. Notwithstanding this expcn

DIR. Abbot Commended
As Learned Scientist

From the Buffalo Evening News.
When so distinguished a scientist
as the Acting Secretary of the Smith.
sonian Institution, DR.. Charles G.
Abbot, pronounces new opinion re-
garding the nature Of the universe. it
cannot be passed over as the mere
guess of visionary mind. DR.. Abbot
is mature man Of 55, whose life has
been devoted to astronomical and
physical science, chiefly in connection
with the Smithsonian Institution. His
particular specially is solar radiation
and his greatest achievement Is the
proof Of the suns variability. 1t is.
therefore, as result of years of
study along lines directly bearing on
the subject that he proclaims the be.
lief that the stars are not infinite in
number and undertakes to estimate
the astral population of the universe
at about 10000, 900. 900. He finds sup
port for his views in the Lindbergh
transatlantic flight. arguing that if
the stars were Of infinite number, they
would have illumined the vault of the
heavens at night as brightly as the
sun does by day.
Years ago Herbert Spencer reasoned
very toilcluSiNely llaL the human
mind is incapable of grasping the idea
of infinity. 1t may conceive of space,
power or numbers beyond the pos
sibility of its own knowledge but not
beyond limit. An estimate of 3O,0O0,-
100000 suns is so far beyond any
conception within the range of human
intelligence that the difference be.
tween that and infinity is rather one
of language than of realization.
Nevertheless. DR.. Abbots theory may
mark new departure in the thought
and terms which scientists will EN-
ploy in discussing the universe.

Ocean Air Service.

Capt Charles Lindbergh's transat-
lantic flight and his views on the fea-
sibility of regular trips across this tur-
bulent body of water have caused
those of an inventive turn of mind to
start work anew upon plans for mid
ocean landing fields for airplanes.
From Rome comes the story of a pro-
posed $4,000 900 floating island with
facilities for landing both seaplanes
and land planes. The Italian concep-
ton of an ocean station includes u
hotel, weather bureau, hangers,
beacon lights. wireless apparatus and
other modern facilities. In the United
States a model of a proposed ocean
landing field has already been con
structed ana the inventor is seeking
to form a company to exploit it,
Although the prospect Of regular
transatlantic airplane service stirs
the imagination. it will undoubtedly
be many years before such a project is
undertaken. If land planes are used
exclusively when ocean flying becomes
reality it will, of course, be neces-
sary to have either ships or especially
built floating islands at certain stra
