The sound waves then travel down the ear canal and hit the ear drum, which makes it vibrate. Inside the' middle ear, on the other side of the eardrum, tiny bones (ossicles) move in response to the eardrum's vibration and send the sound energy to the inner ear. this, in turn, stimulates the fluid and hair cells (which are sensitive to various frequencies and intensities of sound) inside structure known the as the cochlea. It is the motion of these hair cells that causes electrical energy to be sent through the nerve endings to the brain, which recognizes the signals as words and other sounds.

Negotiations with Israel on a final peace settlement begin in May. Those talks will tackle the explosive issues that until now had been pushed to the side: the future of Jerusalem, the holy city that both sides claim as a capital; Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza; and the PLO's demand for statehood.

"We are on a field which we believe is a mass grave," John Shattuck, the assistant secretary of state for human rights, said Sunday as he stood amid snowy hills and gutted houses. Shattuck, who spent the day touring parts of eastern Bosnia that Bosnian Serb authorities had previously barred from war crimes investigators, said he would pass on to the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal new evidence of the massacre of up to 7,000 Muslims. One of the 3 12-yewar's worst crimes occurred in Kravice, survivors told Shattuck.' "Up to 2,000 people were herded into a warehouse and then fired upon by grenades and other weapons, and anyone who was left was shot when they left" Kravice, Shattuck said. "We could see blood spatters and massive holes in the warehouse where the heavy weapons had been fired and grenades had come in," he said. The bodies are believed buried at two sites in Glogova, just down the road from Kravice, he said. Shattuck said he hoped investigators would be in place in the and that "very, very, he expected digging in Glogova to start this spring. Kravice was part of the eastern Muslim enclave of Srebrenica, a "safe haven" that was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces on July 11.

In a four-ca- r convoy, accompanied by U.S. bodyguards and Serb police, Shattuck was in eastern Bosnia collecting evidence, interviewing survivors and investigating conditions that war crimes investigators will face in coming . weeks. , In addition to Kravice, the gruesome itinerary included: Nova Kasaba, site of another reputed mass grave; Konjevic Polje, where witnesses reported about 200 people were shot as they tried to flee along the road; Karakaj, a town where "we Bosnia-Herzegovi- th : Nigeria crash By TERRENCE PETTY Associated Press Writer MOSCOW (AP) two-mon- January 22, 19S6 iaT'?tKnw!n which has to revoke the charter.
