HOW COMMUNITY SINGING GREW.

FAMOUS CONDUCTOR ON

HIS EXPERIENCES,

"When community singing was first introduced, the conductor, who was quite without experienco in coa. ducting untrained mass choirs, was more nervous than any of the singers."

This statement was made by Mr. Arthur Caiger, the community singing conductor, in the course of an address to the Wadhurst Hall Choral Society, Tunbridge Wells, on his experiences while conducting concerts throughout the country.

"The tremendous enthusiasm with which the new idea was everywhere greeted, however," he continued, heartened the conductor and caus- led the concerts to become the most

popular ever organised.

"On football fields, at military tattoos and political meetings, and at Empire and Armistice Day fes- tival-on every conceivable acca. sion when great masses of people gathered together-community sing- ing went with a swing,

The two outstanding incidents in my experience were when 3,000 people stood in the driving rain at Wallasey and refused to go away until the last song, on the Daily Express song-sheet had beeti sung, and when acores of wounded sol- diers lying in their beds at the Star and Garter Home, Richmond, sang as heartily as though they had been marching again through the days of 1014."

TEST FOR FAMOUS

MEDIUM.

Margery the most famous medium in the world, arrived in London last month to meet friends, and to hold three sittings which, English people that spirits can it was hoped, would demonstrate to prove their survival by registering their finger-prints.

These sittings, says a London paper, will take place in the rooms of the Society for Psychical Research, although that body has nothing to do with them.

CLIMATIC CHANGES, IN. THE ICE AGE,

THE POLAR MOVEMENT THEORY.

The Alexander Pedler Lecture.of the British Science Guild was given by Dr. G. C. Simpson at a meeting of the Manchster Liter- ary and Philosophical Society.

Dr. Simpson said that the only way to explain some of the major gists was to assume that the pole changes of climate found by geolo could change its position in the way suggested by Wegener in his famous theory. But it was pointed out that during the Ice Age there were large changes of climate. causing the so called inter-glacial periods whiwch were too rapid to be explained by the movement of the pole. Dr. Simpson, therefore, considered what would be the effect of altering the amount of heat re ceived from the sun. He showed that when the radiation is both a "Monaetery Bully"

little precipitation, and in the second case

because the temperature would be too high, Thus the advance of the snow and ice would occur when the radiation was somewhat greater than it is at present.

The S.P.R. say that nothing can happen in their rooms," said Margery. We shall see."

Margery, who is the wife of Dr. L. R. G. Crandon, a distinguished surgeon and physician of Boston. Massachusetts, said she was not in England to preve spiritualism to sceptics. She merely smiled sweetly, -she is a young-looking woman with a most charming personality and chatted. She is just a very fice woman, natural and pretty."

Six years ago Dr. Crandon and his wife started experimenting in Boston with the idea of disproving like the one they had read was used spiritualism. They made a table in the famous Goligher experimente in Belfast, and started to disprove table rapping. Then, a few months later," says Dr. Crandon, à came in the séance room, and des cribed itself as that of Walter Stinson, Margery's brother, who had been killed on a railway sonie years before.

Between the pairs the temperature would be low with little ice, while the members of each in- pair would be separated by terglacial period having a high temperature and much rain. This scheme seemed to fit in well with the observed advances and retreats of the ice in the Alps during the Ice Age, and also explained the two pluvial periods which had been shown to occur outside polar re- gious, during the Ice Age.

An aged woman's belief that her dead husband would rise again was mentioned at the inquest at Congle ton on George Pointon (87), of Harding's Bank, Buglawton. The woman, who was removed to Arclid Institution, was stated to be Poin- ton's third wife.

A constable gave evidence that he went to Pointon's house on that day and found him dead in bed. He appeared to have been dead some

hours.

This discussion took place in the King's Bench Division, London, during the resumed hearing of the action brought by Dr. Gabriel Geofrey King, of Thayer-street, Manchester-square, against the West End Music Bureau,

Dr. King complained of the play- ing of musical instrumenta next door to his surgery, and claimed an injunction to restrain the bureau, who carried on the pro-

fession of music teachers, from causing or permitting to issue from their premises at Thayer-street, be- tween 6 and 8 p.m., "divers noises, including the playing of musical instruments," so as to cause a nuis- ance to him.

Mr. Frank Ernest Hilbe, a son of Mr. E, A. Bilbe, one of the de- fendants, snid that the only com bination of stringed instruments which had played on their premises was an octet: The saxophone bad never been used.
