GERMAN PROFIT SHARING.

There are a number OF cooperative or
profit sharing companies In Hamburg, the
most active Of which, probably Is the
Produkton"-consumpti building and
savings union-whose membership nau
reached $500 in September, 1911 Inc

Judged from the fact that on January OF
the current year there were enrolled LEO

shop helpers, 4124 woodworkers, ll0l paint
ers and varnishers, l,lg9 machlnsts ana
firemen, $40 masons, 1882 metal workers.
1911 tailors, 1137 tobacco workers ana LUZ
carpenters The operations OF the conpaH!
have been affected recently by the impoSl-
tIOn of n state tax Of s per cent on the
profits of consumers associations This
tax was imposed as n result of the aglta-
tion OF retail merchants subject TO the pay
ment of income and other forms of taxa
ton The union under consideration pos
sesses seventy-six establishments in the
city and country. in which every variety
Of goods Is sold, with the exception or
twelve meat markets. three bread shops
and one greengroCer's store. The prices
quoted seem to be lower than those OF mer-
camille establishments generally, ana the
public at large Is served on almost the
same terms as members, the latter receiN-
ing a 4 per cent discount on their pur-
chases In 1893 the average purchases per

FREAK CAMERAS.

Aerial photography is, of course, by no
means new. For n number Of years eX-
perts have been working with special in
struments strapped to the breasts Of carrier
pigeons. An extraordinary device, however
has lately been adopted for taking the
camera into the air. IL Is really com
bination Of camera and rocket. The rocket
goes off and carries the camera with IT,
At the climax Of the flight the shutter au-
tomatically snaps, and, buoyed up by a
parachute frill which has, in the mean
time, expanded, the camera gently de-
SCends
The thing has been developed I'm Berlin,
and just at present II is all the rage there
for people to have bird s-eye views OF them
selves taken. The only difference between
an aerial camera and an ordinary one Is the
shutter. There are many ways OF arranging
that the shutter shall open at approx
mately the right minute though, Of course
the photographer always has TO face CON
siderable chance that he may not get the
precise subject he.Swants. one method IL
10 have a clock attachment that works the
shutter after calculated interval n time
fuse has also been used.
Among other freak cameras there Is one
shaped something Ike a watch. while an
other, shaped like a cannon, takes button
photographs. Possibly the largest thing IN
cameras Is the Atalanta camera, con
struCted for use on aeroplanes. AZ looks
like a miniature naval gun, is aimed anu
fired like a rife. has q range OF fourteen
miles, and works with an extremely rapla
shutter. Germany has bought NUMBER OF
these cameras for use on its aeroplane meet

CHAMBER oE SILENCE.

At the Physiological Institute Of the Uni
versity OF Utrecht is a chamber about ~
feet square. which is said to be absolutely
noiseless as far as the entrance OF SOUNDS
is an inside room, but so arranged that IL
can be ventilated and inundated with sun
shine. The walls. floors and ceiling. eacn
consist of half a dozen layers OF dineIent
substances. with air spaces ana lnterStCrs
filed with sound deadening materials.
Some pcrsoHs when IN the room experience
peculiar sensation I'm the ears. While
every effort has been made 10 exclude
sounds that are not wanted, Of course, the
object Of constructing this singular room
was TO experiment with phenomena con
neCted with sound Some Of the sounds
employed are made in the room itself;
others are introduced from outside by
means OF copper tube, which is plugged
with lead when not in use.-LOndUn Globe.
