At the Bellevue Laboratory the phenomenon of "echo" signals lis the subject of a special investigation. We read: "Signals that race around the world in reverse direction from the trans- mftting station to the receiving set, or encircle the globe more than once, threaten to become a disruptive in- fl in short-wave traffic.

"These abrasions, it was shown; need not be pronounced, but might merely be the result of chafing by a woollen bathing suit in.order to give the bacilli a point of entry. "Eye specialists have pointed out, too, that these waters present the constant peril of pink-eye and all forms of conjunctivitus, some of which could conceivably result in per- manent injury to the, eye, or even total blindness. "Perhaps the most prevalent after- math of bathing in water containing sewage, it was said at the Health epartment, is that of middle-ear infec- tion, often leading to mastoditis, alb- scesses, eardrum infections, and often deafness, especially where the eusta- chian tubes become involved. "Respiratory diseases also play their part in the lives of bathers who ignore the Health Department warnings. At the department it was said that 'colds,' which bathers imagin they contract from staying around too long in swim- ming suits, really are contracted from the organisms in the filthy waters. "Many cases of pneumonia have been traced directly to this source, as have cases of tonsilitis, bronchitis, pharingitis, and all of the common and throat ills, "Swallowing these waters, It was declared, might easily lead to disturb- ances of the dif stiomal tract, not from the water {itself, but from the dangerous bacilli they contain and might easily be a predisposing factor of appendicitis." tree fp see Commercial Street Along the curving brightness of the bay, The hurried little street runs like a Song; Way-up-along, along, It takes its lilting, winding vivid way Between small shops and smaller houses, gay With zinnias, petunias, hollyhocks, Hooked gugs, ships' models, figure. heads, old clocks And modernistic paintings of to-day. around, and down- Art students, tourists, townsfolk, fish- men, Elbow each other; motors warily Dodge horse-drawn carts; great buses, thundering .

"Dr. A, Hoyt Taylor, Superintendent of Radio at the Bellevue Laboratory, compares the effect of 'echo' signals to the results of two operators sending the same message, one being slightly lagged in keying. Echo signals are pronounced In the 20,000-kilocycle band, but this disturbing factor has been observed on various frequencies between 8,700 and 28,000 kilocycles. Dr. Taylor considers the possible dis- astrous effect of echo signals of such significance "as to Invite nation-wide study. He diagnoses the condition, and tells of the results in the follow- ing interview: "It 1s amazing that these echo sig- nals, which have been photographical ly recorded after having passed ap- proximately two and one-half times sround the world, are of sufficient in- tensity to cause very serious interfer: ences. "'Bcho signals once around the world have been observed on various frequencies, but are usually restricted on the lower frequencies to a very limited time of day and time of year. In the band between 12,000 and 22,000 they may be observed over a large number of hours of the day and over a wider interval in the year. The pre- dominant period for observation of echo signals is in the spring or fall, and the best periods of the day are in the morning or late afternoon hours. They require that the great circle route over which they travel shall be more or less in a daylight or twilight | zone. Signals which go more than once around the world are still very frequently of at least one-third to one- half the intensity of the direct signal, | but are commonly obesrved over less-| ed time periods, and are restricted more to the bands around 20,000 kilo-| cycles. " 'When the signal goes more than | once around the world it is generally | observed as coming from the same dl rection as the direct signal. The time differences do not correspond to a ground wave, but they correspond to the circumference of the Heaviside layer, which Is somewhat larger than the circumference of the earth, When more than one echo is observed the time difference between the first and second echo is apparently almost al- ways 0.137 second. "'No method other than estimatés by ear have been used so far by this laboratory for the accurate timing of these signals, but the time Intervals are such as to throw the dots and dashes of a message into complete jumble. "'It has recently been determined during a period when any copy at all received on a vertical antenna was ab- solutely impossible, that perfect copy without echo could be obtained on a directional long, low signal wire an- tenna.- In other words, the highly di- rectional antenna pointed toward the transmitter is not bothered by echoes of the first type, which have gone around the world in the reverse direc- tion. It is only bothered by echoes of | the second types, which have gone] around the world once plus the dis- tance from the transmitter to recelver | in the same sense as the direct signal. | Since these later type of echoes natur- ally require rather special conditions | in order not to strike a region where | the Heaviside layer 18 too high for these frequencies, they are not any- where near as bothersome in Inter- rupting reception, and may, for the present, at least, be neglected, except in so far as they refer to the operation of beam stations, where it is under- stood they still constitute a somewhat serfous menace, owing to the very great signal strength of these sta- tions." m---------- f Painted Ceilings A new idea which may or may not be a success is that of having your ceilings painted or distempered the same color as your walls, With cream colored, yellow, or ivory walls the effect 13 certainly charming, | though with some colors it is apt not only to be oppressive, but to give the room a smaller, box-like appearance. i "Now, Hiram, the new waltress is "What of ft, naw?" | "So don't keep asking "her to parse a college girl" the butter, This ain't school" 416,000 carats.

These results have been achieved mainly by means of the moderniza- tion of the plants. The pick and other primitive instruments are gradually, methodically being superseded by ex- cavators, steam trommels and wash- ing machines of the latest type.

The Kasai diamonds, like all allu- vion diamonds discovered so far, are of a small size and in this respect the South African fields yielding large stones still retain an unrivalled posi. tion. Big stones are discovered frequently in the South African diamond fields. One -of - the biggest -stones dug up re- cently weighed 412 carats and was sold at Kimberley for $25,000. It is the first time that a stone of such dimensions has been found in alluvion diamond fields, and it is the most important find for a number of years. This particular stone was sold by the London syndicate td an Antwerp diamond cutter, I. Goldberg, who has undertaken the delicate work of cut ting it. When it comes back on the market it will certainly bring a price of at least $560,000. The whole of the Kasal mines are worked in width and so far no shaft or underground gallery has been built if League Appointments Without Sex Distinction Women's Influence Appreciated by League of Nations and Her Plan Assured in Councils Trere can be few fields to conquer left for woman, as the League of Na- | tions has now allowed her within its fold.
