Leaves Lansing r. N. G. A.

| Secretary Burton b. johnson OF
the Y. M. G. A. has presented his
resignation to the board of directors.
Physical Director Brown also ex-
poets to leave the local association.
He has gone to New Britain, Conn,
and is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of accepting a similar position with
the association in that city.
Secretary Johnson is to become
assistant state secretary and his
special line of work will be with col
lege associations and organizing and
developing religious classes in asso-
Citations throughout the state.
Mr.. Johnson Here Six Years
Mr.. Johnson has been connected
with the local association six years.
He came to Lansing when it was first
proposed to build the present asso-
citation building. He had just finish
ed raising money for the Ann Arbor
city association building which was
practically completed when he came
to this city. Mr.. Johnson had been
In Ann Arbor five years. His pur-
pose in coming to Lansing was to
raise money for an association build
ing. Now that the work has been
completed Mr.. Johnson feels free to
leave and accept the new position
which is considered an excellent pro-
motion. His headquarters will be in
Lansing.
Will not Leave at Once
Neither Mr.. Johnson nor Mr.
Brown will leave the local associa-
ton at once. Both will probably re-
main until summer. The board of
directors is considering a man to
succeed Secretary Johnson, but as
yet no one has been approached or
rendered the position of physical
director.
Mr.. Johnson states that his new
work will require that he visit city,
railroad, county and college associa-
tons in order to promote bible
study. Mr.. Johnson has been carry
ing on a similar work in the local
association and has met with q
marked success.-Lansing State Re-

Apropos of those who never enjoy
the luxury Of a carriage save when the
death of some one makes for a free
ride to the cemetery a clergyman told
of little girl standing at Fifth ave-

She was ragged little thing. and she
was watching the carriages rolling
past with the most wistful blue eyes.
"Well, little one," he said. would

SELENIUM CELLS
TO FIRE Cannon
Novel Use Proposed For Sui.
phuric Acid Byproduct,
SPARK PRODUCED BY LIGHT.
Therefore w. J. Hammer, an Electrical
Engineer, Declares Search!ishts Of
Hostile Warships Could Set Off
Charge That Would Destroy Them.


William J. Hammer, a consulting
electrical engineer of New York city
explained to the students of Stevens
institute, at Hoboken, N. j.. the other
day an interesting theory as to the
value of selenium. byproduct of sui
phuric acid. in time of war.
BY the use Of this product. he de.
clared, the moment the searchlights Of
an enemy's warship fell upon it shot
would be fired automatically down the
path Of light flashed by the approach
ing warship.
Possesses Remarkable Property.
Selesium. which was first discovered
in 1917 by Berzilius, who obtained it
from crystals formed in the lead cham
bers of sulphuric acid works, possesses
the remarkable property, Mr.. Hammer
said, Of being an excellent insulator
In the dark, but of becoming an ex-
cellent conductor to an electric cur
rent when exposed to light. Mr. Ham
mer used Newark, N. j.. as an exam
pie Of city which might be defended
to advantage by cannon controlled by
selenium cells.
Cannon" he said. equipped with
box on the carriage containing q Sc
lenium cell could be mounted on prom
inent earthworks, with their muzzles
pointed down the bay of New York.
In the dark or the dim light from
small reflectors the selenium cell would
not conduct spark from battery in
the box to the powder, but this would
take place the instant a powerful
searchlight from battleship fell upon
the cell, changing it from being a poor
to an excellent conductor. The guns
aim would probably be correct, as the
straight beam from the ship shone on
it, with the result that the hostile war
vessel would itself set off the charge
which would sink it."
Possibilities of SeIenun.
Mr.. Hammer then told the students
that if any of them ever had any idea
Of going into the burglary business it
would be well TO ascertain if the bank
safes had any selenium cells concealed
about them, for an alarm might be
given miles away the moment the in
truder's bullseye fell on one of the
cells. He showed how by means of
selenium cells apparatus could be sim
ply constructed for measuring light
X rays, radium rays, and in control
ing electric and other machines, oper-
iting boats, turning on and off lights,
automatically lighting and eXtinguish-
ng buoys and street lights, closing
buildings automatically in the event
If fire and doing many other wonder
'ul things which the scientific world
s just beginning to realize dimly.
Mr.. Hammer said he could not help
linking of the possibilities of sele-
hum when seeing an attendant in a
kyscraper building laboriously closing
he shutters at the end of the day. By
means of a selenium cell an apparatus
ould be devised, he said which would
and automatically close all
he shutters at once as soon as dark
less came. He also showed how dis
ant lights In Il village could be light
d without the use of wires simply by
he fading daylight and extinguished
when the sun rose the next day.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by focal applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by oonstitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed coalition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is infiamed
you have a rumbing sound or imperfect hear
Ing and when 1t Is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and the tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which Is nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
