Noddy used 13 soap bubbles to create a duodecahedron, regarded by Pythagoras, a sixth century B.C. Greek mathematician, and his followers as a "sacred solid" not be shown to the uninitiated. A duodecahedron is a geometric figure with 12 sides, all of which tee shaped like a pentagon.

Pythagoras gave the world the Pythagorean theory, which has vexed students ever since, but he was also the leader of a mystical cult based primarily on the mathematical properties of music and geometric shapes. "Don't tell them I showed you," Noddy whispered to his audience at Ram Field. Noddy was conducting a workshop on bubble blowing at the "Old-time New Age Chautauqua '84," sponsored locally by the Crisis Center and the Indian Alcohol and Drug Service. Performers patterned the show after traveling entertainers and educators who roved the country in the early 1900s, performing in "Chau-tauquas," which were designed to bring culture and new ideas to rural America. The name comes from the upstate New York town where the productions originated.

Nearly 300 spectators in Missoula could wander about the field, learning juggling, storytelling, the history of fire and sword manipulation or just sit in a tent singing songs with folk musicians Faith Petric and Utah Phillips. However, many of the people found themselves moving toward the laughter emanating from the tent where Noddy displayed what he calls his "transient art." "Every bubble I've blown has popped," Noddy said as he described a fellow bubble man who kept his bubbles in jars until they gradually shrunk away. Another crowd formed around the jugglers, where beginners grimaced and chased after cascading rubber balls' "All you have to learn at first is how to throw one ball from hand to hand." an instructor told a group of children with doubtful looks on their faces. "Then comes the hard part." he said. DENNIS JONESCorrnpondant Lake County Undersheriff Joe Geldrich, white shirt, and other deputies inspect a car belonging to the Rev.

MOSCOW (AP) The Soviets called Sunday for a conference on the Middle East at which the United States, the Soviet Union. Israel, its Arab neighbors, and the Palestine Liberation Organization would take part. The United States and Israel reacted negatively to the proposal, which was similar to one that has been made by the secretary-general of the United Nations.
