Mrs Fred Lawton wag seated crocheting in her home, more than a mile from the harbor, and she heard the crash as the water, seeping out, let the masses of Ice collapse. Mrs Marshall, wife of the captain of the 70-foot fishing smack, the Fi.sh Ilawk, which was swept from its moorings by the wave, declared the sound was like that of a huge waterfall. Great Loss Averted That the wave, had it come a few hours later, would have caused tremendous damage, wav pointed out by Fred W.

Lawton. "There was $100,000 worth of lobsters in the harbor." said Mr Lawton, and these would have been lost, while the wave, coming at high water, would have swept the water front and caused untold damage." Capt Marshall of the Pish Hawk reported that his craft, which owned bv the Underwood Company, the principal fishing concern of the village, was unharmed by its trip. He estimated the speed of the drying-up process at six or seven miles an hour; the regular run of tide In this harbor being about a iiai-miie an hour. Postmaster Albert Moore of McKinley described the scene of the rocking boats. It was "as If seme hand of the deep had reached up at them, he said.

He declared that notn-ing wa done to prevent disas'er to the boats until after the third and last great surge of the waters. "Xo one was able to do anything, he said. Heard of Event by Radio "And not three hours later we listened in and heard all about It over the radio from New ork," added Mr Moore as a tribute to a second phenomenon. K. J.

Kelley, manager for the Underwood Company, told his machlnest, Russell Lasky, that Lasky was crazy when he brought word that the ice was leaving the harbor. Kelley changed his mind when he got outside and wit- nessed the proceedings, he admitted today. Residents of the villages can remember nothing similar occurirfg here before. George Murphy, one of the oldest residents, corroborated these statements. One resident declared that 20 years ago there was a great tidalbore.

but not of this nature. A bore is a minor tidal wave, peculiar to harbors I of a certain shape. The phenomenon yesterday was re- stricted to a'oout four miles of chore, I according to a checkup made today, Apparently It caused no damage, i Fishermen who spent today examining the 50 or more craft which were tossed about by the wave Saturday could find I no evidence of harm.

He added that a doctor in charge of an insane hospital recently stated that his patients are so much more tractable when allowed out in the sunshine that he lets them stay out In It as much as possible.

Prof Bovie demonstrated his ultraviolet rav doctrine by means of views of well-fed chickens with which he had experimented In a greenhouse in which there were no plants.

Jan 10 (A. P. Alcohol, which long has been blamed for coloring the human nose with a roseate tint, is ALBERT D. HOWLETT.

Ires. (lent of Building Trades Employers A 9-- soeiatinn. JORDAN MARSH COMPANY 7 now put forth by sober scientists as the reason why leaves turn red In th Autumn. S. G.

Hibben, lighting expert of the Wtstlnghouse Lamp Company, who has been delving Into such mysteries as why plants go to sleep" In the Fall and whether or not they can be kept alive r.d beautified by artificial sunlight, made this announcement today. He said the old theory that foliage changed color and dropped off because of Winters chill was erroneous. Certain chemical reactions in the leaves of plants at a certain period in their life cycle cause them to reject sunlight, regardless of the weather, he said he had discovered. During the Summer leaves of trees absorb 90 percent of the sunlight, but after a certain point, different for each species, they begin to abeorb smaller and smaller proportion. It la this internal control and not the weather that causes them to assume thebrlght hues of Autumn.

With the shutting out of the sunlight growth is retarded, food Is stored in the roots and trunk and fermentation finally begins to take place in the leaves. In the process of fermentation alcohol Is produced In the leaves, changing the color. Mr Hibben asserted that much progress had been made In the substitution of artificial light for sunlight in forging plant growth and that many greenhouses are now being. operated entirely on electric light with better results than they formerly experience with sunlight.
