up when he talks about Albert.
"That boy really looks like the

was backed up by his manager, who
figures to know a thing or two
about catcFiers.
"Bool knows the mechanics OF the

Mr.. Bishop was one Of the first among
archeologistS to use airplaneS in ex-
ploration work, the recent trip of Col
Charles A. Lindbergh in Central Amer
lea being of the same kind. Each sur
veyed the ruins of old civilizations from
the air, and Mr.. Bishop is expected to
make extensive use of this method OF
exploration on his forthcoming visit In
China. He and Mrs. Bishop will sail
this week for the Far East.
Preliminary work was done here this
Summer and Autumn by Mr.. Bishop,
through the Chinese legation and Of
fetal Washington, to prepare the way
for his work. Mr.. Bishop Is held In
high esteem by the Chinese and every
aid is promised him in his task. The
civil war and other unrest in China
may for the time being limit the scope
Of his activities, but 1t is hoped that
by the time he has his work oragnized,
with the recruiting of staff Ct assist
ants, the domestic situation in China
will have quieted sufficiently to permit
exploration.
Rate Work of Highest Value.
Nationalist China does not now per-
NIT ancient works of art or similar
relics to be taken from the country,
except under specified conditions, so
that Mr.. Bishops expedition may not
result in as much material being
brought to Washington as after other
expeditions, but scientific circles here
rate his work of the highest value from
a historical viewpoint.
The Chinese hitherto also have been
diSinclined to permit opening of ancient
royal graves to study the pottery: wea-
pons, Jewels and other objects usually
buried with the great In the Orient, but
this obstruction also may be removed or
modified.

FREER EXPEDITION
TO CHINA PLANNED
Assistant Curator and SeCre-

Treasures.
BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT.

Coupled with the marriage Saturday
of Carl w. Bishop, assistant curator
of the Freer Gallery of Art, and his
secretary, Miss Daisy Furscott, in Berk-
eley, Calf, is the beginning of an i'm
portant new archaeological expedition in
China, under auspices of the gallery,
which is part of the Smithsonian In
Stitution.
Mr.. Bishop already has spent four
years in China in research work among
ancient burial mounds, ruins of cities
and old temples in an effort to throw
more light on the history of that coun-
try. He returned to Washington in the
Autumn of 1927 and since then has
been engaged in classifying, indexing
and otherwise making available for
scientists the results of his explorations.
Used Plane in Explorations.
Miss Furscott had been in China as
Mr.. Bishops secretary for two years
before they returned in 1927 and has
been helping Mr.. Bishop to get his data
into permanent, accessible form. Their
headquarters in China was in Peking.

Electric "leletaCtor" Proving Great Boon in Education

Chicago, March 29 R-F'ingers are doing the work of ears at the Alexander Graham Bell public school here.
 Congenitally deaf children are learning to feel speech by means Of an electric "teletactor" invented by Dr. Robert H. Gault, Northwestern university psychology professor. They hold the instruments in their hands and translate it's quivers into words.
 A six-ycar old girl in this manner has acquired in onc-seventh Of school year more than half Of the vocabulary required in a whole first year in regular schools for the deaf. Furthermore. she has learned 10 read printed words, and to com pose and write sentences. Such work is not even attempted in con- ventional schools for the deaf at so early an age.
 An example cited by Dr. Gault is a boy Of seven, deaf, who had barely begun to use his voice. He made vocal sound into the transmltt"r oi an instrument with two receivers, one in his own hand. and inc other held by his mother across the room. The ''fecl' of his own voice pleased him but when he saw that his mother felt the same vibrations he began. as she said, 'io play with his voice ten times as much as eNrr before"
