The first thing rhe teacher learned was that the boy could hear, though with some difficulty. This led her to believe that he might be taught to articulate. The fact that he never had, might be attributed to a psycho logicat rather than a physical cause she pefieved, inasmuch: as all his life he fmd been associated: with mutes.

As mr pupil, he showed unusual attentiveness and quickness of perception. Wlthin nine days he had learned the meaning of nearly a score of words wnich he understood from the motion of the teacher's lips Heretofore, he could comprehend ideas only through pantomime such as be employed. ’ Assured of success in this direction, the teacher set about determining how much the youngster could hear. She found that he responded to sound. As she continued to werk with him, bis hearing seemed to grow better and now he hears sufficienily to under stand four words — “boy” “girl,” “shoe” and his name.

This was the announce- ment made by Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, national president of the Rosecru- cian Order, a philosophical cult. Doctor Lewis declared plans were being made to have the expedition sail tate next year. The city of Tel-el-Amarna, sun city of Amenhotep the fourth, founder of the Rosecrucian Order, is the site picked for the experiment, Doetor Lewis said. The expedition will con- tain an approximate even number of men and women, ail carefully selected for their physical fitness and devotion to the principles of the teachings un- der whieh they are to live. “There will also be several chil dren,” Doctor Lewis said. “Estab lishment of families will be encour- aged.” The colony will abandon modern dress for costume of the ancient Egyptians and will forsake mechan- teal implements for the crude tools of German Scientists Find Secrets of Hittites Berlin.—Secrets from the lives of the Hittites who lived in the period 3.000 years B. €. are expected to be reveinled after German seientists have studied the mammoth collection of stone statues and tablets excavated by Baron Max von Oppenheim in the depths of Mesopotamia.
