"Dear. Mr. Editor: I had the lionor
last week to attend the meeting of the
troop recently formed in your town
and had the pleasure of initiating
thirtyfive boys into the Boy Scout
Movement. I was informed while
there that there are a lot more boys
anxious to become Scouts, but the
trouble is there are no men to take
up the work, Now, sir, it is to the
parents of boys and to men whp have
time to spare that I would address this `,
letter.

Hearing With the Tongue?
People who are quite deaf cannot
enjoy wireless at the present time, put
science is malting such rapid .strides
that it seems likely that this difficulty
will soon be.overcome, and that those
who are permanetly deaf may, after
.practice,, be able to receive wireless.
messages by 'tasting them with the
tongue.
At least, tbat.ls What a number 'of
scientists are aiming at just now.
'These -scientists;:employ° an -ordinary
wireless receiver containing three
valves, and in place of the usual head-
phones or loud -speaker :they have two
eaitablyshaped pieces of silver or cop-
per, which are separated from each
other by means of a strip of ebonite.
These are placed in the mouth of a
deaf person. so; that they rest comfort-
ably over the tongue.
.A. spark transmitting apparatus was
used, and each dot or dash'sent out
by wireless excited a strong metallic
taste in the mouth of thedeafperson.
This is easily understandable, bocaue,
instead of the received signals being
made to actuate a pair of headphones
or a loudospeaker, they were passed'
on the insulated silver plates le the
mouth of the deaf person, and eaoh im-

at the root cause. Why did the asthma.
start in the first place? What were
the conditions associated with its ap-
pearanee. Hadthe patient a persist-
ent cough with loss of weight for some
time previous to the onset of the
asthmatic condition? This is • importer
ant to know because many eases of
bronchial asthma are In reality con-
sumption. Some cases are due to
heart disease, some to Bright's dis-
ease, .some to growths in the nose.
What must be -done is to find out if
there is a curable cause and then to
cure it. Cases of asthma which have

to treat as any disease that affects

When Deep Sea Denizens
Take Forty Winks.
Having no eyelids, fish do not ap-
pear to sleep. That they rest as regu-
larly as
egu-larlyas human beings was the opinion
of Aristotle over two thousand years
ago, and recent observations have cot -
firmed his view.
Among marine fish, the wrasse con-
ger 'eel, dory, dogfish, bass, and all flat
fish sleep periodically resting usually
on the bottom of the sea.
Being exceedingly: light sleepers, it
it difficult toobserve the nocturnal.
habits offish in aquariums, for the.
slightest increase in light arouses
them. The salt -water blackfish, or
tautog, is au exception. Lying on its
side with its mouth open, the tautog
is an exceedingly sound sleeper. As
it settles down to slumber faint stripes
and spots of bl4elx appear all- over its
body, which. give -'the impression that
it has changed its clothes.
Changing Their Color.
More noticeable still are the varia-
tione in color of the common scup or
porgy. When bedtime comes it takes
a surprisingly short time to don a.
nightdress. Clothed .in .silvery grey.
when awake, the :fishdescends among
the seaweeds when drows,iess comes.
Stripes of darker grey or brown appear
almost immediately, and very -soon it
is not easy to distinguish the sluggard
from its surroundings.
As a 'quick -change artist, however,
the parrot fish has few equals. Swim-
ming about in the tropical waters, the
parrot fish is a clear turquoise:. green hitherto been absolutely smooth and
during the daytime. Finding a quiet unwrinkled, a faint network of lines
nook among the stones and weeds, its is beginning to appear. Their habitual
color fades to a dull olive. Further expressions, instead of being alert and
changes go on whilst it sleeps. 'Num- intelligent, have become mechanical'
and placid.

sample of the wonders to be seen.
within. The performer took two
pieces of tape and tied them around
his neck. After a long. but shock-
ingly.
hock
ingly incorrect explanation of "how
it was done," he pulled the :tapes.
and they seemily passed through
his neck.
The two tapes were doubled and
the centers tied' together by a frail
piece of thread (Fig. 1.). The per-
former held his hand over the
point where the tapes were tied to-
gether and the tapes appeared to
be side by side and without prep-
aration. When he put the tapes
around his neck, his -collar hid the
junction of the tapes or he care-
fully kept his face to the spectators.
Taking the ends A and G he tied -
them `together close to his neck.
The ends B and D were tied close
to .his neck, also. When he grasped
the tape and gave them a vigorous
pull, the thread broke and the tape
came away. Because of the method
of tying, the appearance of the
tape was then exactly as if it had
been aroundhis neck.
