PROUGHT SCARE IN ENGLAND Something of a scare has been cre- ated in England by Lord Desborough, who says that the supply of water y in the whole country is going to be a serious problem at no distant per- iod. London was on the verge of a water famine in 1921, but since then the gigantic reservoir at Littleton, holding 6,500,000,000 gallons, or al- most a month's reserve supply for the city, has been constructed. Out- side London the water supply prob- lem has become more difficult each year, with the mutiplication of hou- ses and baths and the growth of population, It is the lack of abund- ant water on the central tableland of England that has prevented . the construction of a deep-water canal pystem such as exists in a number of European countries.

GERMAN PRAISES ENGLISH Londoners are surprised and pleased over an article in a German publication by a Berlin police official who had made a lengthy study of the traffic situation in London. In view of the campaign in the English city against fat policemen his descrip- tion of London "bobbies" as "hand- some fellows, big and slim' clear-head- ed and ever polite" has caused some amusement. He is amazed at the dex- terity and calmness with which the Londoner makes his way across the road amidst 2 maze of vehicles. "The lady who slips across before a bus, turns and smiles at the driver who returns that smile with a friendly look as if to say, 'We both had luck that time" He concludes that the Berliner has much to learn from the London pedestrian.

NEW SYSTEM FOR TELEVISION FOUND Hungarian Engineer Con- ducts Successful Experi- ments in Berlin Berlin, June 27,--The much dis- cussed problenr of television is ap- proaching solution through a cum- paratively simple method invented by Denes Von Mihaly, Hungarian engineer, it was reported here Mon- day. Mihaly, who resides in Ber- lin, is a co-worker of Nicolaus Langer, A lamp attached to the sender lightens the objects or pictures to be transmitted. A ray passing through a disk, provided with spir- ally arranged holes and driven by an electric motor, as a result of the speed of the disk and the num- ber and arrangement of the holes, touches 150,600 points on the ob- ject, and then reaches a photo- graphic: cell.- At the receiver, an- other perforated disk rotates be- tween a "Wolfram Point" lamp and a glass window. Experiments so far have been carried out on a small scale in Mihaly's laboratory have proved so satisfactory that experts optimis- tically declare that a sound basis for television has been found at last.

TELLS HOW THE WORLD WILL END That the earth is doomed to be swept by a series of floods and earthquakes that will destroy the ma- jority of the human race, is predict- ed in "The End" a new German book that is arousing great interest in Europe. By a series of maps the author shows how each catastrophe will take its toil. Such calamities, says the book, have occurred at in- tervals, of 10,000 years, when hu- manity has reached the limit of its development. Each time a small rem- nant remains to develop once more until the next cataclysm flings the world back into chaos. The next ca- tastrophe, it is predicted, will sep- arate North and South America into two islands, will practically wipe out Europe, make Africa an island, split Australia in two and turn remnants of the northern countries into lands of ice and .snow. . 1 a The despatch adds that the : 2 a Copy.
