Walls That Don't Transmit Sounds.

Experiments have recently been car
ried out in Germany with the object
of discovering methods and means for
rendering walls and ceilings capable
Of effective resistance to sound trans
mission. One Of the more recently
devised methods involves the use I'M
der the ceiling. or parallel to the wall,
as the case may be, of a network OF
wire stretched tightly by means of pull
leys secured into adjacent walls and
not touching at any point the surface
to be protected against sound.
Upon the wire network is plastered
a composition formed Of strong glue
plaster of paris and graduated CORK
SO as to make a fiat slab, between
which and the wall or ceiling is
| cushion of confined air. The method
| described is said to be good in two re
spects: first, the absence of contac'
between the protective and protected
surfaces, and, secondly, the colloid na
ture of the composition recommends
for the plaster.

SIMPLEST Way of All.

The following story the Saturday
Evening Post says is told of Col.
George w. Goethals, who at the time
it took place was an instructor in en-
cheering at West Point.
One day, in a recitation, he gave out
this question to a class OF cadets.
THE post fagpole, sixty feet high,
has fallen down. You are ordered by
your commanding officer to put 1t up
again. You have under your command
a sergeant and ten privates of the en-
gineer corps. How would you get the
pole back into place.
Each cadet, after long consideration
and much figuring over the derricks
blocks, tackle and so on, evolved
different method.
NO" said Goethals, you are al
wrong. You would simply say: Sci
geant, put up that h~agpole.'"
