EAVESDROPPING A SCIENCE
SCHOOLBOYS’ EXPERIMENT According to the “Thurgauer Zeitung,” Switzerland, the high school boys of the little town of Habelschwerdt are to be credited with a fine achievement in “applied physics.” In order to listen-in at the proceedings of Jhe master's board, and thus get to know their friends and enemies, they fixed up a microphone In a disused stove, and conducted the wire up the chimney to the attic. The meeting they were mostly interested m was the one held just before Easter, when their promotions to the upper forms were settled.
