Measures Sea Depths by Wireless An apparatus for determining the depth of the sea or the presence ra the ocean bed of any obstacle, is announced as having been perfected by Prof, Langevin, professor of genoral and experimental physics at the College of France. It is said that a wireless operator has only to press a button, to ascertain instantly by means of an apparatus connected with the customary wireless equipment the depth of the sea. England Hears Ohio Set COLUMBUS, O. Robert Higgy, one of the best radio operators of this cityt, has just learned that his signals recently were picked up in Honolulu, H.

A' new radio receiving set has been " installed recently at the government hospital for the insane at Anacostia, D. C, by the Department of the Interior.

The city council has under consideration a proposed radio ordinance, and a study of the contemplated regulations is being made by a subcommittee of the council committee on gas, oil and electric light. The proposed measure stipulates an inspection fee of $3 for antenna of receiving outfits and a fee of J5 for the antenna of transmitting apparatus. Specifications as to tjhe kind of equipment and methods of installation are outlined, chiefly for the guidance of the inspectors. The ordinance has stirred up radio interests, some of which are opposed to any legislation, declaring .that such regulation would stifle the infant industry. Others of the radiophan public approve the inspection of antennae, but ob'Ject to the size of the fee on the ground that an inspecttion of apparatus can be made in a very few minutes, and that a fee of 50 cents would be sufficient. Pandora's Box Pandora, in the mythology of the Greeks and Romans, was the first woman. She was made in heaven, and every god contributed some thing to perfect her, and this is the .- significance of her name. Pandora, the "all gifted." "While she was in the home of Epimetheus she discovered a jarthe famous "Pandora's box" in which were contained a number of noxious qualities which the Titan had decided not to make use of when he gave man his set of personal characteristics. One day Pandora opened the lid to see what the jar contained and a multitude of unpleasant matters flew out, burdening the human race with many disorders of the body and equally unfortunate distempers of the mind. She attempt ed to put back the lid, but before ehe could do so ail the plagues had escaped. Only one thing remained In the jar and, when that was examined, it was foud to be hope, which ever since has prevailed to lighten the hardships which the remainder of the jar's contents have brought upon mankind.

The Adventurous Cruise of Yoimer Garibaldi

Giuseppe Garibaldi's father hoped that his son, who later in life was to help in uniting the states of Italy into one nation, would study for the priesthood. Garibaldi liked adventure and didn't show much interest in his father's plan. He would sit for hours and listen to the stirring tales of sailors who lounged about the docks of Nice, where he lived. These stories fired his blood and made him long for a chance to have such adventures himself. He heard of the battles which his coun trymen had with the Austrians, and how often the Italians were forced to flee for their lives before the enemy, who were more experienced in ngnting. lie hoped that some day he would be able to help his country. Giuseppe liked to talk over with the other boys the adventures which had been told to him by the old sailors, and they listened eag erly to all that he said. That's how he and two of the boys happened to plan to sail in a small boat, which one of them owned, for Genoa, some distance away. The scheme was to start early the next day. Accordingly, the following morning they were on hand, and, with food which they had managed to get from their homes on the sly, they started. The day was bright, the lake was smooth, and they had a fine time as they went along. . In the afternoon the sky became cloudy. It was gradually growjng dark. A stiff wind had sprung up and the lake was very choppy. The whitecrested waves rose higher and higher, and the boys, who were quite a distance from the shore, Parrot Fish I have been telling you for the past several weeks about animals with which you are more or less familiar. This week I think I will tell you of one that I feel sure you have never heard. It is really a fish, but has the name of a bird and chews exactly like a cow. I might just as well tell you its name it is the Parrot Fish, i This queer fish is found only in the warm waters of the Mediterranean . sea and is one of , the most curious animals known to naturalists. 1 It has a beak that exactly resembles that of a parrot, hence its name. It might be called the monkey fish, for it has cheek pouches similar to those of a monkey, and. as mentioned above, chews . cud like a cow. " . Its favorite food Is the seaweed and other water plants which grow on the bottom of the Mediterranean. With its beak,, formed by a hardening of the points of the I upper and lower jaw, it snips off portions of the plants. These are carefully pushed back and stored in the ample check-pouches. When enough has been stored up in the pouches for a meal the fish quits browsing and begins leisurely to chew the weeds, just exactly as you have seen the old Jersey cow chew her cud. ; Unlike the cow, however, it has no teeth in its jaws, but they are set back in the throat. This is apparently no disadvantage, for they serve their purpose admirably, s They are rarely found and the native fishermen preserve them as a curiosity. Thtre is a long story that the fishermen tell regarding how this" strange fish acquired such a queer lot of features, but I will have to tell it to you at some future writing, as its length makes it prohibitive at this time. Put just remember that if any one tells you about this fish you tan assure them that you do not doubt the truth of their statement and that it is no "fish story."

were having great trouble in reach

ing it. Finally a heavy gust of wind overturned the little boat and they were thrown into the cold water. In the meantime Ihcy had been missed at home. Some one had seen them start in the morning, and, much to their relief, their pur2& -Jents soon came up in a larger boat and rescued them. This incident convinced Giuseppe's father of his son's fondness for the sea and for adventure, and so he gave up his plan to have him study for the church. During Garibaldi's youth and early manhood Italy was not tho united and powerful nation that it is today. He had shown great skill and bravery as a soldier, and so was placed at the head of an army of patriots who hoped to form one kingdom. Garibaldi was very popular with his men, and, in some cases, they fought under his banner against forces much larger in numbers simply because they loved their leader. He gained some great victories, and finally, in 1870, Italy became united into one kingdom, and today is one of the great nations of the world.

The teacher understands what the child is doing and the work is not bothered. All the children are examined by the doctor about twice every year. Whether they are ill or not the;' must be examined. That is the way he finds out in time to keep them from. being sick. If there Isn't any thing wrong with the child the doc' lor puts him down as a plus boy or girl.

Wonder Five Meets Defeat by Hawkins The Wonder Five sustained its first defeat of the season on the Garfield floor Friday evening, Dec. 29, at the lmnrts of the Hawkins team by the score of 30 to 12. The downfall of the losers was caused by the absence of their star center, Clark, who was detained at his

home. The winners displayed very good defense, thus causing the low score of the Wonder Five. The Wonders could not withstand the fast pace set by the more experienced players, and the victors soon drew away from them. Holcamp and Howe were the main cegs in the scoring department of the losers. Lawrence Baldwin and his cousin, Lester Baldwin, worked the ball down the floor time after time for a short shot under the basket for the winners: Lineup: Wonder Five Hawkins Volser F.Lester Baldwin Howe F.

Mary Baker Eddy Sings for Pet Pigs' Comfort One chill November night, in a New England farm house, a little girl slipped noiselessly away from the family circle gathered about the fire. - ; Out through the kitchen door, ' into the barnyard she went. The pigs were squealing in the pasture, and Mary hurried to them. She huddled close to the sty and sang to the pigs, thinking they needed some one to comfort them because it was cold. This little girl was Mary Baker Eddy. She was the founder of "Christian Science" and devoted her life to comforting people. also there Is a violin teacher who gives class lessons on the violin in the chapel. There was a piano teacher who came to the school to give lessons. I have not seen him I for a long time. He gave his les-! sous In the chapel too. The writing teacher comes in a Ford sedan and talks to the teach-' er a while. Then she walks up and down the rows. She sees how we hold the pep. She tries to find out how good our letters are. Besides this she keeps an account of how fast Ave can write. She knows how many letters a minute or something that way. The drawing teacher wishes us to know how to make pictures of flowers or anything that is a pret ty object with our drawing pencils. Once we had a boy stand up in his costume for the Hebrew play and we drew him. Once we had a boystand up in just his ordinary clothes and we drew him. Once in another grade we made a circle and put the primary colors in it. Sometimes we make a design out of something she tells us to make it. of. The gymnastic teacher comes once a week or two I think. She ha3 us to stand straight and exercise our arms and legs. W? breathe big breaths. Then we also bend backward and forward and sidewise. We do all these things together. She watches to see if we do them right and at the right time. She always has a different game for every visit. Sometimes it is automobile races. One game is mouse and cat You ought to play it. I began to tell how it goes but it makes too long a piece. The music teacher comes some times and gives us the music les son. Sometimes she stands by the regular teacher while this teacher gives it. . Sometimes she walks up and down the rows to see if their positions are all right. Also she is seeing if the sopranos and altos are singing their parts right. I will tell about the cooking and wood-work teachers some other time. The supervisor comes and looks at the work the pupils are doing and looks at the work they have done. She tells them whether they are doing well or poorly. She is interested in all the kinds of work that we are doing at school. She writes down about every child In her office at tthe High school. Francis D. Hole, reporter for Joseph Moore school.

A Christmas Story . It was Christmas Eve,. Kenneth had wakened up. He had been dreaming that he heard reindeer bells on the house-top. He jumped up and ran to the fireplace. No one was there; but Santa Claus had already come and gone. Kenneth's stocking was full of candy, and under it lay a girldoll that called "mama" when he picked it up. "Betty wanted a doll, but I never," he said to himself. "There must be a mistake. I'll put this over at her stocking." But when he found Betty's stocking, it was heavy with balls and marbles and a sled stood under the tree. "The joke is on Santa," cried Kenneth. "Betty's things are in my stocking and mine are in hers. Santa forgot his specks!" By the children of the 2AB grade, Starr school.
