returned the courtesy.
Mayor Walker recently travelled across

tigating the city government, about
whether the inquiry board might want
to call him as witness while he was
out of New York. He was told he would
not be called then.
Since, however, Democratic members
OF the committee have insisted the
mayor be given Ibis day In court" the
committee chairman took the question
under advisement. but neither he nor
Seabury have indicated what their de-
cision will be.

BALL PICTURES LONDON
OF so YEARS HENCE

LONDON This year the
Chelsea Arts Club ball, which takes
place as usual on New Year eve, is to
represent London so years hence" A.
r. Thomson, the brilliant deaf and
dumb artist. has undertaken the task
of Transforming the Albert Hall into
the semblance of city of the future.
Although such prominent landmarks
as st. Pauls and the houses of Parlia-
ment will remain, the new London will
have little in common with the city as
we know 1t today. Enormous buildings,
among them the Cloudland Hotel, will
be seen towering up five times the
height Of Big Ben and at various stages
of this height will be found landing
stages for airplanes and dirigibles.

Questioned in Study Under
Way at Rochester.
NEW YORK.-Since Lord Rayleigh
ruled British science with his famous
experiments on sound and light 1t has
generally been believed that red and
yellow light, with their longer wave
length, could pass most easily through
fog and mist. The familiar req fog
beacons have been the result.
This perhaps is not the best color
that could be used, for recent experi-
ments by DR. Brian OBrhn and F. M.
E. Holmes of the Institute Of Optics at
the University Of Rochester, show that
most of the light scattered by water
droplets in fogs at Rochester contain
all colors equally
Only the small part scattered by air
itself seems to obey the long-revered
law of Rayleigh. This work, together
with that of Dr.. Irving Langmuir and
his colleagues at the General Electric
Co. at Schenectady, which found addi-
tlonal evidence for this fact, may mark
the beginning of the end for colored
beacons.
