DAY. London, April 6 (United Press) Tristan da Cunha, the most isolated community on the face of the globe, has only one request to make of the outside world a visit by somebody, anybody, once in a while.

It is a British island of 127 inhabitants in the South Atlantic, 1,500 miles southwest of the lonely St IItena, where Napoleorj spent his exile. The year 1925 marks the 110th anniversary of Tristan, -da Cunra's annexation by Britian. For many long years its handful of population has been perfectly content to get along with virtually no interruption from the rest of the universe. But the arival of a few old newspapers a long while ago set the inhabitants thinking a lot of interesting things must have been going on during this generation. A feeling of intense loneliness set in and, when the island crops failed this year, tne gloom thickened measurably.

It was then the desperate decision was taken that visitors be sought. The Tristanites are now petitioning the British government to send a warship to the island annually, at least, with mail. The Rev. Martyn Rogers, a missionary, is returning from a three years' stay on Tritan, to plead that the petition be granted. "The greatest hardship of life on Tristan," he told a Capetown jnter-vjewer, enroute, "is the length of time which passes between visits from the outside world.

Weeks are spent in vain longing for ships which never come. "I feel almost as though I had been on a trip to the moon." Dr. Rogers is bringing with him a two-year-old son who has spent his life to date in this loneliest of lonely places, and the young wife the missionary took with him to the island three years ago. "Towards the end of our stay," said Dr. Rogers, "there was such food shortage that my health "suffered, and my wife and child were beginning to feel the hardship.

For many months we had none of the so-called necessities of life no groceries, no flour, sugar, or coffee. Sometimes there was nothing to cat A- MESS The Garden's Debt to Glass Glass is essential in gardening even if it be no more than a few individual panes. It is needed to place over seed boxes In the house. It. of course, is needed In windows which give light and sun to the growing plants.

It is valuable as a top to boxes known in the garden as cold frames aqd hotbeds. The wizardy of a little glass in the growing of seeds Is a garden marvel. The reason that glass is so essential Is that while it is transparent and admits sunlight, It Is a poor conductor of heat and equalizes temperature, tempering the swift shifts from moderate to freezing which are so com mon in winter and spring over a large portion of the country. Added to this feature, it retards the evaporation of moisture, holding it in suspension and giving the tiny plants the moist atmosphere they need and In which they luxuriate. It also protects from drying winds in the warm days of spring when tender seedlings are often shriveled and It also protects from cutting icy blasts that often descend upon us and permits the young plants to enjoy uninterrupted growth until they are large enough to go Into the open ground and hold their own with the elements.

Another valuable protection of glass is that it minimizes the loss of seedling plants from sudden delugeB ot rain which wash them out of the ground and each spring waste great quantities ot seeds and seedlings.

HAVAI1AHS PERFORM ANCIENT CEREMONIAL Ritualistic Honors for Pele, the Goddess of Fire Volcano House, Hawaii, Apr. 7 A crpvvd of 2,000 people witnessed the Hawaiian ceremonial recently performed at the rim of llalemaumau, fire-pit of Kilauea volcano, in the Hawaii national park, in honor of lile, Hawaiian goddess of fire.

The ceremony was in the form of a sacred incantation of the goddess. Old Hawaiian! from all parts of the territory took part in the service, chanting ancient miles or chants, dancing native dances, and casting offerings into the pit The ritual was held at dusk with overhanging rain-clouds mingling with the great steam cloud which emitted itself from the. crater. A darkness rame, kukol torches were limited and the rosy light reflecting upon the steam mass and colorful robes of the chieftains made the sight alt the more weird and impressive. When an aged Hawaiian acting the part of the priest cast an offering to the goddess into the pit, a rumbling avalanche took place sending an additional cloud of steam nd dust into the air and terrifying the more timid At the ootid of the disturbance the crowd surged back with cries of alarm, but alter assurance from the pcrfomers and officials of the park that there wat no danger, the ritual was completed.

In time a certain amount of tbe electrons will have been ex hausted from the outer coatings. Thus the electronic emission of the tube falls This will show up in the operation of your set by a falling oft of volume and quality.

The ten dency then will be to turn the filaments higher to secure the same quality and volume as when the tubes were new. This still further hastens the deterioration ot the tube. A new scientific process has been invented called, "Rejuvenating," that will renew apparently useless tubes and give them their original operating characteristics, and in some cases make them better than when new.
