•HUY MASK HAS HEW FEATURES Makes It Possible for Officers to Give Orders in Battle Without Removal. Washington. — The chemical war fare service of the army has devel oped a new gas mask so constructed as to enable the wearer to carry on conversation while using it and thus making it possible for officers to give orders in battle without removing It. Such a mask will he of vital impor tance in troop operations, and the in vention of the speaking device In this new type of mask Is regarded by army experts as the greatest Improvement In gas masks since the close of the World war. They regard it as the most nearly perfect device of its kind In the world. Wearer Can Talk. The new mask has a sort of dia phragm attachment somewhat similar in appearance to that used on phono graphs. By means of It the wearer of the mask can carry on conversation with about 80 per cent of the efflcien- , cy of the average speaking voice. American experts hail been trying to achieve the same result through a telephone attachment, but with tiie de velopment of the diaphragm idea the attempt to arrange the mask so as to provide for telephone conversation has been abandoned. The diaphragm at tachment is less cumbersome, not com plex, and experiments conduced by the army have demonstrated that the human voice is reproduced efficiently through use of the new attachment. The [>erfection of the new mask has reached the point where orders have I been given for its production on a con- | siderable scale at the Edge wood ar senal. Tiie new- mask embodies a number of other recent developments. It contains a new canister which, through the addition of new chemicals, not only protects the wearer against the ordinary gases used In chemical warfare but also against ammonia fumes and tiie deadly carbon monox ide. It is expected that this im provement will make the new mask invaluable to firemen In great cities, ! as well as to mine workers and those who are employed In tiie fumigation of vessels. Other New Features. There are also features embraced in the construction of the new “all purpose” canister that lessen air re sistance and reduce the distress of breathing to practically a negligible quantity. Tills improvement includes elimination of the nose and mouth pieces and has resulted in consider able reduction in the amount of char coal used in tiie mask. The new mask 1 likewise contains a device for pass ing dry air from tiie chemicals over tire eyeglasses of the mask. This pre vents collection of moisture and con siderably improves the vision. A spe cial arrangement also enables tiie chemical containing case to be car- i rled under the arm instead of on the chest, as in other types of masks, and thus provides greater freedom In body movement of the wearer. Experiments are also being conduct ed with chemicals that render cloth Impervious to burning gases, hut which will at tiie same time permit moisture from the human body to es cape. Whale Wreck* Big Fish* Pond When Caught Vineyard Haven.—The fish pond of Allen and Krneat F'ianders of Chil rnark in Vineyard sound is a strong one, but it wasn’t made for the pur pose of impounding so big a sea going monster as a whale . When the Flanders brothers went out to their traps they discovered that one of the animals of the ktnd that swallowed Jonah had practically wrecked their pond. The lashing around of the mammal broke off several stakes, tore the net- ! ting so badly that it will take several i days for repairs, and in addition re- i ' ased probably hundreds of pounds ■ of fish from the pond. The Whale escaped and the brothers came in shore to tell the storv and ex hibit the tom netting as evidence that the big fellow had wrought the dam age. The whale entered the traps through the opening which is eight feet wide. Find Spectacles More Than 125 Years Old Plqua, O.—Three pairs of spectacles, over 125 years old, have been discov ered in the home of Mrs. O. R. Mullen dore. They were the property of her great-great-grandmother, Mrs. Jane Brown Patterson, who came with her husband, Robert Patterson, from Ire land to Plqua In 1818, where the two settled on a farm. Two pairs of the eyeglasses are of German silver, while the third is of brass. Unlike most modern glasses, they serve only to magnify the object upon which they are focussed. Mrs. Mullendorn still is occupying the farm upon which the Pattersons settled In 1818. It was purchased from the government. Japs Importing Artificial Silk.

London.—An interesting controversy has been excited In British sclentlflc circles by the remarkable theories of Prof. Alfred Wegener, a German, who i declares that the earth's continents aro , drifting westward. His thesis Is that the eurth’s continents are of lighter material, ami float like icebergs on a heavier plastic material, which reaches Its highest level at the bottom of the | oceans. This startling theory has been strongly criticized by P. Lake of tbe Royal Geographical society. By means of maps he showed the way In which j Wegener has reconstructed the land surface of the globe. According to this ' reconstruction North America was once In physical contact with Europe; India fitted In between Africa and Australia and South America was brought Into contact with Africa. Since then the i continents have drifted away from one another Into their present position. Among a number of carefully rea soned crKielsn s, Mr. Lake pointed out that In order to meet his theory Weg ener had flattened out the Himalayas iri order to lengthen the peninsula of India, hut he had not flattened out others of the world’s mountains In a similar way. He also declared that the argument based on alleged correspond ence In geological formation In the various continents would not hold good, because Wegener’s geological facta were not accurate. As an offset to Mr. Lake's views, a number of othpr British observers seem Inclined to support Wegener’s revolutionary theory. Prof. J. Jolly of Trinity college, Dub lin, writing In the current Issue of Na ture. thinks that Wegener Is in error In working out the theory on the basis of a westerly drift of the continents. Tha theory, he says, grows in probability If an easterly drift is Indicated. Breaks Precedent in Admitting Welsh Girl ^ " 1 1 i_^_i_jy Phyllis Curtis, « pretty, modest and gentle little Welsh girl, who has Just been admitted to the United States af ter the Immigration board at Kills Is land broke a precedent. Brought be fore the board, Miss Curtis admitted that she came to the United States solely to be near her sweetheart who lived in Nantlcoke, Pa. She also ad mitted that she was too young to get married Just now and that she was to live with her beau's folks. When girls come to the United States and are too young to marry they are usually held as "likely to become public charge*," excluded and sent back to their mothers. However. Miss Curtis proved so sweet that the Inspectors Juat couldn't help hut admit her. Oldest Bell on Record Used in Italian Church The oldest known bell still In use is In the parish church of St. Mary Loreto, at Vlllalago, In the Abruzzl mountains, and bears the Inscription “Ave Marla” followed by “Anno Dom ini BOO.” Considering that bells were invented, according to church authori ties, by Pope Itablnlan, who died la 0OB, no older bell Is recorded.
