ACeylon and Indian teas recent inquiry bad brought details of outbreaks in all parts of Great Britain, and he had never met with disease more widespread in America. It was disease, because of the expression of fear in the eyes and general ap pearance. The malady would affect a single dog, or would make a number of dogs suddenly disperso and rush off. Some, screamed or howled and rushed for miles, per- haps being killed by running into an obstruction or into water.
This is the opinion of Mr. Jaumes Y. Tong, manager of the China Tea Co. regarding the decrease of Shanghai tea shipments both to the United States and Europe.

My idea is to locate the objec tiocable sounds them wherever possible to eliminate théin. But the location of noise is not so easy Lo discover as one might think, This is because much noise which in itself is inaudible carries other poises and, incidentally, may cause seasickness. For this reason the only thing to do is to photograph what in many cases we can neither hear nor see."

That part of the experiments, he explained, would be carried out by ୯୦୪୯ cases, methods. phonograph recordings would be made of the sounds." In others, especially in the case of inaudible cises, the Low-Higer "audio imeter ", would be used,

The audiometer," he then said," an instrument by means of with sound waves are collected by a trumpet, then projected onto a diaphragm thinner than bubble. The diaphragm carries a small mirror onto which the waves collected by the trumpet are pro jected in the form of a beam of light. The oscillations of this beam are then recorded on a cinemato. graphic film, thus completing what may be termed a process of "ound photography."
As the sounds are photograph. |ed or recorded, as the case may be, "we of course make a note of where they are located. According to the intensity of the sound we are theu nile to judge just exactly in what form it will be easiest to

"Once the noises we seek to eliminate have been located, all we have to do, is, to place what one might term noise screens or, if you prefer, oisea absorbers! wherever they may be needed.”
Consluding the interview, Prof. Low revealed that as soon as 'the new White Star liner Britannic- said to be the world's largest oil burner-is ready for her trial trip, she is to be noise-proofed " by him.

Ceylon and Indian teas, Mr. Teng explained, have been put be "fore the public and their male back. ed by the extensive advertising of firm names. Chinese teas on the other hand, have had no such sup port, for this he blamed lack of organization and co-operation among the exporters.
China tea, Mr. Tong declared, has greater freedom from tannin than other teas and has the added advantage of quality plus low price. If the foreign buying public is not made aware of these facts by con- stant advertising, however, other teas will make still greater inroads in China's export business, hel maintains.
An advertising campaign would in the case of tea be nided by the fact that China ten has long been known abroad. Thus the public would not have to be introduced to a new product, but be reminded of one of established standing, is Mr. Tong's view..
