Testing for Acoustics.

"YoU never can TELL" used to be
the common answer to any one
who asked what the acoustics Of
proposed new structure would be.
Whether the sound would carry to yari-
Gus parts of the room or hall, whether
or not there would be an obnoxious
echo. were questions left largely TO
chance or guesswork.
Even where the "cut and dried"
method applied to a shaping of rooms
and arrangement of balconies In which
the sound would carry well to all parts
of the hall, any echo Is serious and
incurable defect. Only within the last
decade has it been found that a series
OF strings would intercept sound waves
in going to the part of the structure
which reflected the echo. However,
the locating of these echoing parts and
proper placing of the yarn or thread
was also a matter of guesswork until
recently. Now. architects and engi-
neers are learning that they can easily
determine the echoing surface by means
OF an electric automobile horn, fitted
with megaphone trumpet.
The horn Is placed on the plat
form at the place where the speaker
usually stands and so pivoted that it
can be turned in any desired direction.
The mechanism then Is adjusted so
that the horn will send out its toots
at regular intervals-say, once every
three seconds. When slowly swung to
and fro so as to direct the sound to
the various parts of the hall, the dif-
terence in intensity OF the echo shows
at what part 1t is produced. When
these echoing portions have been locat-
ed and webs have been drawn to in
tercept the sound waves going to them.
the test Is easily repeated to make sure
Wnetner or not the remedy has been
properly applied.

The first picador digs his spurs into

He leans forward in his high-backed
saddle and drives the spear home into
the shoulder of the bull as it charges.
But all his weight, all the instant
agony of the steel avails not to stop the
onward rush of the toro. Its low-neld
head smashes squarely into the padded
side of the horse, and flattens it to the
ground as though it had been thing

lies as dead, paralyzed with fear.

last three mules drawing a whiffletree,
followed by SIX men in bright red coats.
Now, as the procession crosses the
sanded arena and turns and makes the
circle Of the bull ring. one sees that
the horses of the picadors are strangely
different from the sleek and lively
steeds of the alguazils. This is but nat
ural, for the beasts which carry the
gentlemen in the boat-shaped hats and
imposing velvet costumes are meant to
give a grand effect. But the animals
which the picadors bestride are sorry
lot. The bones show on their hips;
their rips are painfully apparent. Over
their heads is wound a cloth which
makes then blind in one eye-the side
that is turned later toward the bull.

once more, and he comes dashing for
that taunting figure. 1t almost seems the
bull is upon the man, so close he lets
him come. Then as animal and mah
seem one, the two long darts leave the
hands and settle firmly one on either
side of the shoulder. 1t is a perfect
cast The bull halts. Wildly flinging
It's head from side to side, rising off
its forefeet in the agony of the moment,
it remains threshing about there within
a radius of dozen feet, till its eyes
are caught by the moving figure OF the
man returning from a hasty run to the
fence for second pair of darts. A
second time the toro is led to make his
futile rush. Two more banderillas are
driven behind the first pair. The crowd
shrieks its approval. And. indeed, 1t is
work we'll done. for all its cruelty. There
is danger in every moment of the work.
Four more banderillas the man places.

From the stand bugle sounds. 1t Is

since the toro first came in, all verve
and sleek freshness, unheaving sides.
Yet by the watch nine minutes only
have elapsed.

"muleta.'' It is an oblong of turkey

why, there seems no particular reason.
Certainly the bull is not afraid. 1t is
merely the etiquette of the ring, the
rule of the game.
Again and again the man lures the
bull to him. It passes him by what
seems a miracle. Sometimes it stops
short, for now the rrshes are not SO
long, as when the animal was played
by the larger cape. The vast bulk
seems as if it were to pass beneath the
mans very arm. Again and again the
play is repeated with score of brilliant
variations. Twice the bull comes to a

DARIS, December GA Greek pro-
Il posal to dredge the harbor of Milo
in an attempt to discover the arms of
the famous Venus has caused great
astonishment among the Louvre officials
here. The news of this sensational 5ug-
gestion was contained in the following
telegram sent out from Athens by one
of the principal European news agencies
several days ago:
LAS the result of studies and reports
published by Prof George Gaetanos and
the archeologist Dragatsis, the Athens
newspapers are carrying on campaign
to urge that the harbor of Milo be
dragged for the arms of the Venus OF
Milo. They declare that the arms were
broken off In the course of battle
between the sailors of the French war
ship Estafette and the citizens OF the
port. who wished to send the statue 10
Constantinople, and that in all probable
ity these arms are lying within few
hundred feet from the shore line.
prof. Gaetanos also announces the
discovery that the Venus left arm COW
cred her breast, like the Venus of
Medicis. and that her right hand held
an apple"
The reason for the Louvres astonish-
ment is that, although hundreds of
persons have written books to advance
various theories as to how the Venus
of Milo held her arms. there is not The
slightest mystery about 1t. Her left arm
was held upward, with an apple in the
hand. The right arm hung straight
down and was broken off at the elbow
when first found AS regards the pos
sibility OF finding these arms in the
harbor of Milo, 1t is simply null. In the
first place, the Louvre Museum possesses
the forearm part of the hand and apple
of the upright left arm. They were
broken off in tho fight between the
French sailors and the Greek inhabitants
of Milo, and there are many indications
to show that the missing portions were
smashed to bits.
These broken pieces are kept in a
glass case beside the Venus in the
Louvre, but not one in thousand ever
sees them. The right arm was probably
broken off centuries ago and there is
not the slightest reason TO believe that
it lies in Milo harbor today.
In the Louvre archives there is plenty
of testimony to show how their graceful
figure originally held her arms, For
example, Lieut. Matterer, a. French naval
officer who was at Milo Nwhen 1t was
found, and who saw the statue a num-
Der Of times, wrote in his diary:

Planning Search for
The Arms of Venus

when Monsieur d'Urville and saw
the statue in the peasants cabin, she
had her left arm in the air holding an
apple, and her right arm which hung
down. was broken off at the elbow"
He does not mention that the right arm
was broken off when the peasant found
it. but there is other good testimony to
this effect The right arm was cer-
tainly broken before the battle on the
Milo waterfront.
The story of how the Venus of Milo
came into possession of the Louvre is
very exciting. A Greek peasant named
Yorgos found 1t in cave on the Island
of Milo In April, 1920. M. BreSt,
the French consul at Milo, heard OF
the discovery and wanted to buy the
statue for his government, but hest-
tated when the peasant demanded the
equivalent of E240 On May 26, 1920
(the letter is still in the French for
eign office archives), he wrote to M.
de Riviere, the French Ambassador at
Constantinople, asking for his approval
to purchase it. The Ambassador hesi-
tated, but several young French naval
officers named Dumont d'Urville and
Matterer who had seen the statue at
Milo and been entranced by its beauty,
arrived at Constantinople and described
it in glowing terms. M. de Riviere inn
mediately commandeered the French
warship Estafette, placed his secretary,
M. de Marcellus, on board and told him
to proceed to the Island of Milo at all
speed and secure the Venus regardless
of the cost.
When Marcellus arrived he found
that the Greek priests on the island
had decided to buy the statue and send
it to Prince Nikolaki Morousi, high
Greek official in Constantinople, as a
present.
In fact, the priests and their followers
were already loading 1t on a ship sent
by Prince Morousi when Marcellus
stepped ashore He claimed that the
French consul there already had an
option on it and, seeing that 1t was his
only chance to get possession of the
masterpiece for France, he had de-
tachment of marines seize 1t. There
was a violent clash on the waterfront
with many split heads on both sides.
The Venus also had her left arm
smashed. But the marines carried the
day and the statue with them. One
of the marines picked up several frag-
ments of the left arm. The Estafette
sailed for Marseille with her trophy

bull throws his forefeet off the ground,
such is the fury of his attempted toss.
The bull is very tired. He comes to
q halt before the man. He stands sui
lenly His sides heave, a deep undula-
ton painful to look at, silently voicing
the agonizing pounding of the great
heart. Froth rests at the corner of his
mouth. "A nlomentary hush comes over

THE fatal thrust, "the matar" must

between the two shoulders and must
go straight through to the heart.
The matador gives a slight fiirt of the
red cloth. The bulls head goes down.
In that same second the man thrusts
the sword straight from him, his body
bending forward. The shining steel
disappears. A moment the bull wavers,
then goes to his knees. The hind legs
fold under him. There Is something
wordlessly dignified in the beasts sink

remains erect, His eyes seem to take

bull entered the arena.

Electrics of Taste.

ONE scientist has suggested that the
reason certain foods eaten to-
gether seem to improve each other Is
that a certain amount Of electrical ac-
ton Is set up between them.
Experiments have been made along
these lines. wherein two eatables were
used as elements in galvanic battery
instead Of the proverbial copper and
zinc. the idea being to ascertain whether
a current would be produced. Articles
Of diet usually eaten together, such as
raisins and almonds, pepper and salt,
tea and sugar, were tried. and in each
instance the experimenter found eIec-
trical action occurring, current being
produced. He stated as result Of his
experiments that bitters and sweets,
pungents. salts and bitters and acids
appear generally to furnish the elements
for true couples In this relation.
Other articles experimental on were
the following, the first mentioned ele-
ment of each couple taking the place
of the attacked element, or zinc: Raw
potatoes and lemon juice, tea and sugar,
nutmeg and vinegar. horseradish and
table salt, onion and beet, vanilla and
sugar, starch and iodine.

who plays him. Then 1t happens. So
swiftly one fails to grasp fully every
detail. A second of indecision.. one
false motion. The bull has got Rodrf-

Once, more one is impressed with that
queer feeling of looking upon stuffed
doll just discarded. But toro turns,
joyous with success. Straight down
upon the fallen man he rushes. 1t
seems nothing can save him. Then
one sees the miracle, the unexpected,
that variation which makes watching
bull fighting a sight ever new. The
cape wielders have sprung into posi-
