Philadelphia, Pa.,, Mar, 7. -- A colossal Chinese frescoe, long sought to complete the great Kuan Yin wall painting which has been one of the oustanding exhibits of the University of Pennsylvania Museum for a number of years, has been acquired by the museum, and will be exhibted for the first time at a reception to be held late in February. The fresco, approximately 15 feet in height, was found at a deal- er's esablishment in New York City, and with its acquisition vir- tually the entire Kuan Pin paint- ing, which one adorned a Buddhist temple erected about the 10th cen- tury near Ch'ing Hia Chen in China will be reunited in the uni. versity museum, In 1926, the museum authorities acquired whag were then considered to be three separate Chinese fres- coes,.One showed a large Buddha seated cross-legged on a throne and turning the wheel of the law, and the second depicted a huge Bodhisattva, Kuan Yin the Merci- ful, holding up a book and accom- panfed by an. adoring deity, the Moon Goddess, The third fresco was a panel revealing an imperial-looking per- sonage with several strange atten- dants, a' young lady, a minister 'carrying a platter of peaches, and two demons with green and blue faces respectively, Each panel was so large--larger in fact, than any ever known before to have come from China -- that the possibility of their g mere parts of one enormous composition was at first overlooked, When the panels were placed side by side on the wall . of the exhibition hall, however, it became apparent that all were sections of the same work, ACTRESS WILL MARRY PRINCE LUIS IN MAY Rome, Italy, Mar. 7.--Prince Luis Ferdinand d'Orleans de Bour- bon Infant a'Espagne has announc- ed that he will marry Mrs. Mabel Gilman Corey of Paris and New York at San Remo at the end of May. Both have previously denied the published reports of their en- gagement, The prince is a cousin of King Alfonso of Spain and a brother to the pretender to the Spanish throne who is married to a sister of Queen Marie of Rumania. His fiancee captivited American and European theatre-goers as Mabel Gilman. Born at Sau Luis Obispo, Cal., and christened Mabel Lavona Curtis, she had a- meteoric career, She married the steel king, William Corey, in 1907, but divorced him, The prince, who is 40 years of age, has known Mrs. Corey twenty- two years. He makes his home in Rapallo. His mother has just pre- sented him with the villa at San Remo, where the marriage probab- ly will take place.

In announcing its 1929 prices which range from $61.50 to $64.00 a ton, with freight to destination al- lowed, the International Paper Company said its smaller customers will obtain the same price schedule as its largest ome. This assurance was not contained in the first des- patch received from New York last night, and publishers expressed ap- prehension lest the I.P.C., had es- tablished its prices at a higher fi- gure than the Hearst contract. Beyond stating the Hearst-Inter- national contract is for a term of five years from Jan, 1, 1929 with no rebates or commissions, either directly or indirectly, the Inter- national Company's announcement contained no reference as to the contract price, nor would officials of the company discuss the matter. Officials of the Canadian Daily Newspaper Association's newsprif committee would not comment on the new price schedule, which, it is believed, will show a slight reduc~ tion to Canadian publishers, whose schedule has not yet been announ- ced, Other Canadian newsprint manufacturers have not yet an- nounced their 1929 contract prices, but are expected to do so now the International Paper Company has taken the lead in breaking the ice after the protracted negotiations that have been carried on during the past three months in an effort to reach a stabilized price. RADIO BROADCAST IN SWEDISH SCHOOLS IS FOUND SUCCESSFUL Oslo, Norway, March 7.--Where radio waves go when they. leave home is the question worrying a number of professors in Oslo since certain mysterious cchoes of radio wave have been heard at unusual intervals, Scientists were for a time at a loss to explain how long distance radio transmission was possible since they believe radio waves tra- velled in straight lines and conse- quently left the earth at a tangent, passing off into space at a com- paratively short distance from the transmitting station. A theory that the waves were diffracted and bent so as to follow the earth's surface had to be abandoned becaues it was found the strength of the signals as received at long distances was thou- sands of times greater than could have been had the waves been dif- fracted. The existence of an electrical conductive layer in the upper air 50 to 100 miles above the earth's surface was then suggested by the late Dr. Oliver Heaviside, This layer, which came to be known as the Heaviside layer, was beliey- ed to prevent the waves from wan- dering off into illimitable space. and to reflect them back to earth. The theory involved the idea that it was impossible for waves to pene- trate the Heaviside layer, The reception of echoes of cer- tain short wave length signals sent out at Hilversum, Holland, at Oslo and at Eindhoven, Holland, last March however put a dent in the theory. As radio waves travel at the rate of, 186,000 miles per second they go round the earth in one sev- enth of a second. The reception of such echoes at intervals of one, two or even three sevenths of a second, corresponding to the time it takes the waves to go round the earth, one, two or three times, is not un- common. But the echoes of the Hilversum signals were received at intervals of from 3 to 15 seconds. indicating they had fravelled from 560,000 to 3,000,000 miles. To do this they must have pierced the Heaviside layer, Prof, Carl Stormer of Oslo has suggested the waves may have heen reflected on striking electrons emit- ted by the sun at a point beyond the moon's orbit, The sun is in a position to produce a suitable re- fleeting medium in February and March 'and in October. This might explain the fact that the mysterious repetitions were heard only in March and October. A. number of wireless stations have made spe- cial preparations to try to pick up such echoes in March of this year. Should it be proved that the echoes only occur when the sun lieg in a direction perpendicular to the earth's axis as in March ang Octo- ber it would explain their absence at other times. To the objection that if waves penetrate the. Heaviside layer to reach a reflecting surface beyond the moon wireless communi- cation between Europe and Austra- lia would be impossible, Prof. Stor- mer replies that the echoes are only produced by a particular wave length of sufficiently great energy im emitted in a particular direc- on. 'AGE USED AS JAIL SENTENCE Montreal, Mar. 7.--Guilty of the theft of a saxophone from a music- 3| fan of the Mozart Club, City Hall avenue, Romeo Donais was ordered Tuesday by Judge Lacroix to spend one-day in jail for every day of his life, It was discovered that Don- ais had already spent 22 days in jail, and as he is 22 years of age, he was immediately released from custody.

MINERS' FEDERATION JLACES FACTS BEFORE BALDWIN, ASSOCIATES London, Mar. 7,--The distressing conditions in Great Britain's coal fields were set before Premier Stanley Baldwin by the executive committee of the Miners' Federa- tion, headed by President Herbert Smith and Secretary A, J. Cook. It was understood unofficially that -among th proposals advanced by the miners for alleviating unem- ployment were shorter days by. re- peal of the Eight-IHour Act, pen- sions for miners at 60, provided partly by a levy on owners' royal- ties, the raising of the school ase from 14 to 16, and the re-organiz- ation and unification of industries. The deputation remained with the Premier and h's associates, in- cluding Sir Arthur Steele Maitland, Minister of Labor for, nearly three hours, at which time an official statement was issued as follows: ""Allthe subjects raised by the Federation were discussed at length and a joint report of the pro- ceedings will be issued as soon as possible."

The proposal of the Canadian National to construct a branch line from Melfort to Aber- deen is included in the approval to the C.N.R. program. Amendment Movea Arguing that the two railway systems should be placed on a bas- is of parity in respect to the time in which authorized branch line must be constructed, Robert Gar- diner, U.F.A., Acadia, moved an amendment to the C.P.R. bill to- day. The amendment proposes that the Canadian Pacific Railway must secure the approval of its shareholders within one year after . authorization for each line has been given by Parliament and that construction of such lines must take place within a period of three years. Vice-President D, C. Coleman, of the' Canadian Pacific Railway, requested that the amendment. be allpwead to stand in order to afford the: Company an opportunity to study its provisions. The company readily agreed' to this request, and the question will probably come up for discussion tomorrow morn- ing. FLOURISHING INDUSTRIES (Chicago Tribune) Teacher--"What is Boston noted for?"
