instead OF by means OF succession OF far
more moderate but nicely timed pushes.
The Danish inventor Waldemar Poul-
sen, who followed Marconi. had recourse
to another device for creating his ether
waves. He took advantage of the flam-
ing arc, which is capable of passing on to
the dispatching aerials a fuller measure
of the energy exerted by the generator.
While the Poulsen arc has an efficiency
ranging from 40 to 60 per cent at the
antenna and produces a continuous train
Of ether waves, the carbons are expensive
and have to be renewed frequently. SO it
was found the arc was not just the me-
dunn needed in aerial telephony.
Still seeking to better the generation of
ether waves. DR.. Alfred Goldsmith in
vented his rotor for the producing of con-
tinuous oscillations. At the Tuckerton
station is installed one of his great five
ton motors for the transmission service
Besides being costly. this form of gener-
ator is as delicate as a watch.

Motion Pictures Used to judge
NaturaIness' of Artificial LEGS

NHOTIoN pictures are being used by
W the allies IN observing the gait of
MANNED soldiers walking with
artificial legs, and In perfecting artificial
limbs that will best serve the purpose of
the wearer with the least fatigue and
annoyance. So far, American limbs
have proved superior to the French.
The American apparatus permits freer
flexion OF the knee, but is declared by
the soldier to be more fatiguing than the
French make. But for city use and on
level ground, the American leg is still
preferred.
In cases of amputation OF the leg be-
low the knee, both American and French
limbs are now made so perfectly that
amputation is not suspected by observers
of soldiers walking with apparatus.
Motion pictures, however, reveal a diff
ference in gait. The patient furnished
with American apparatus utilities only
portion of the movements of locomotion
of the foot. bearing his weight chiefly on
the fore portion Of the foot. The French
false foot" however, is more flexible.
The British government, following the
example Of the German, is now doing
everything in its power to ameliorate the
condition Of soldiers who have lost arms
and legs. Artificial limbs are furnished

How WIRELESS Telephony Was MADE POSSIB

continuous for the telegraph receiver, but
the telephone receiver must be actuated
by continuous waves varied agreeably to
the variations of the human voice.
Speech has sounds which differ in their
vibrations widely and the wave fire.
quencies may alter from 500 to 5000 de
pending on the pitch OF the voice and the
changes incident to the vocal sounds
used. This was the problem to be solved
in wireless telephony.
According to DR.. Lee De Forest, the
success of the long distance wireless mes
sage from the Atlantic seaboard to
Hawaii was largely due to the use OF a
special design of incandescent lamp for
receiving. The tungsten filament OF the
lamp, in combination with its enveloping
vacuum, is extremely sensitive to changes
of energy. The principle of the lamp is
akin to that of the mercury vapor arc, in
vented by DR.. Peter Cooper Hewitt, which
recently made possible continuous wire
telephony between New York and San
Francisco. The mercury vapor arc is an
amplifier used at both transmitting and
receiving points.
BY means Of this arc, sound waves are
gently transmitted, that is, strongly but
tenderly pushed out into the atmosphere,
so as not to break their continuity. And
tHen' at lne ieCelNlns stdtIon, the souuu
wave, weak from its long journey, Is
picked up, amplifed and revived.
Navy department attaches and officials
of the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, when the successful expert
ments in long distance wireless telephony
we're completed last month, declared the
mech anism used was too intricate and
technical to be understood by the layman.
But the foregoing. in brief, is a history
of the development of electrical science
which made possible the transmission OF
the human voice 5000 miles without the
use OF wires.

HYGIENE Improved by Better
ILLUMINATION in Factories

ILLUMINATION OF British factories has
been found to be only to 10 per cent
OF outside conditions, in a survey Of
fifty-seven manufacturing concerns. These
figures astounded British medical men
when first made public, but reflection
showed conditions were not as bad as the
figures seemed to indicate. 1t was re-
membered that only one millionth the
intensity of bright sunshine is sufficient
to distinguish clearly the outlines of an
object. But 2 per cent OF the intensity
of sunlight is not regarded as sufficient
to work by, SO a campaign has been
started in the isles to better the lighting
systems of factories.
The prevalence Of the use Of spectacles
among workers in certain processes, such
as embroidery, brass-wire weaving and
tailoring, has emphasized the need of
better illumination. Complaints of eye
strain and headache had long been made
to physicians by factory workers. But
regardless of these specific instances OF
the danger of lack Of illumination, the
improvement in the general mental and
physical health of workers under i'm
proved lighting conditions has been suffi-
cient to spur on medical men in their
campaign for better factory lighting.
Since committee proved that 10 per cent
more work was obtained under proper
illumination, factory owners have become
interested.

Contrary to the opinion of many per-

six or seven feet below the surface. A
submarine running under water and a
seal swimming bear a marked resem-
blance in shape. The submarine would
seem to have been modelled after
swimming seal.
But here the resemblance stops. Man
has greatly improved on the seal. The
latter has to come to the surface every
four to six minutes for air. 1t rapidly
eXhales and then literally congresses
air into its lungs for another dive and
swim of five or six minutes. The opera
ton of exhaling and inhaling takes but
a few seconds, so that the seal loses
little time. The submarine remains
submerged for hours and days.
In cruising radius" they are about the
same. The latest German models are

Kiel to the Dardanelles seems to bear
out this claim. But the seal is not out
done. Every year he cruises 5000 miles
from his base on the Pribilov islands,
out into the North Pacific and returns.
Speed, too, is all in the seals favor.

lighting has been found beneficial. Dirt
no longer reposes in dark corners and
rubbish is not permitted to accumulate.
Foremen keep better watch over the fac
tory workers and loafing is eliminated.
A dark and dreary day is not con-
ducive TO good work. The gloomy au-
tumn time is termed the melancholy
days" The gloom of the London winter
is known to have a detrimental effect on
the vitality of the population. Disease is
most prevalent and all who can AFFORD
to go fee to the Riviera and Alpine re-
sorts. So the British have finally awak-
eDed to the fact that proper illumination
in factories is conducive to good health
and good work on the part of the en-
ployees and it is probable that stringent
regulations will soon be enforced TO the
effect that factories must be properly
illuminated.
One of the reasons that for years de-
TERED the medical profession from
sooner starting its campaign for better
lighting was the want of standard of
lighting. Temperature and even VEN
tilation could be more or less accurately
determined. but no gauge for light eN-

fixed standard for its researches, and it
is likely that this standard, for the want
of better one, will be adopted in the
new laws to enforce proper illumination.

French Troops
to Drink CIDER
Instead of Wine
THE scanty harvest of grapes in

THE scanty harvest of grapes in
France this year, due to the German
occupation of the richest vineland
departments. and the doubling of the
apple yield in the southern provinces, is
likely to result in change from wine TO
cider N the soldiers rations. A pint of
wine is supposed to be included in the
soldiers daily ration, but this has been
much reduced lately.
The senatorial army commission has
adopted the conclusions of a report
recommending the substitution of cider
for wine and 1t is very probable this
change will be made soon. Medical
officers have determined that a quart of
cider supplies the same number of
calories, about 800, as a pint of wine.
Cider, too, is much cheaper. The price
OF wine is rising steadily. hectoliter.
or twenty-six gallons. of cider costs only
10 to IL francs CSC to s2.40), while the
same amount of wine costs about IS on
a rising market.
If the plan is carried out, the soldiers
ration of liquid will be doubled, of
course, as a quart Of cider contains no
more calories than a pint of wine. But
even this could be done with economy in
the provisioning of the army. About
soc, 100000 gallons Of cider were manu-.
featured this year In France, nearly
double the usual amount. This is enough
cider to supply an army of 100000
men for more than three years, figuring
one quart day to each man.

Iron Now Made
bV New Process

A NEW process for making iron, that
IA saves both time and money. has
been discovered at the Ford Motor
Company plant at Detroit. Fine gray
and malleable irons are now made d-
rect from the ore at one process of melt
ing, instead of being put through two
sets of melting pots. This, of course.
permits quicker use of the ore and saves
an enormous amount of expensive heat.
Iron and steel products are divided.

malleable iron and steel. Gray iron is
used in parts where fieXbility is not re-
Ouired. for cylinders and machinery con
struction in general. Malleahle iron is
used where a light degree of fleXihility is
required and steel where strength, feX-
Ihility and hardness are necessary.
Hitherto, only steel could be made d.
rcctly from blast furnace iron. or mol
ten ore. and then only when the Besse-
mer or duplex process was used. But
by the new Ford process iron ore can be
malleable iron.
The carbon manganese. silicon, phos-
phOrus and sulphur in the ore, which
formerly were insurmountable obstacles
TO a successful one-heat process, are
eliminated or reduced in a few minutes
in the new Ford process in a manner
that has not been made public as it is
not likely to be soon, for the Ford plant
is saving thousands of dollars daily.
About 700 tons of gray and malleable
iron are used every day in the manufac-
ture of the products of the Ford plant.

CEVERAL ingenious life saving devices
have been invented recently for use
at sea. These go much further than
the familiar doughnut-shaped fIoaters so
long depended on in time of shipwreck or
other maritime disaster. The new life
saving devices not only keep the wearer
RflOat, but protect him from cold and
safeguard him against hunger and star
walton.
The apparatus illustrated here are by
no means all the recent inventions in
that line, but seem to be the most prac-
teal of the big crop. They were nearly
all suggested by the experiences of per-
sons on torpedoed vessels. the inventors
aiming to insure a degree of comfort for
passengers, preCipitated into the ocean,
until help arrives. The inventors of the
two devices illustrated declare that ship
wrecked passengers can remain afloat
many hours, protected against both water
and cold and with an adequate supply of
food and water at hand.
The inventor of the apparatus which
folded, looks like an ordinary valise. is
John L. Edmund. a young Norwegian.
Its resemblance TO an ordinary valise is
not all, il can be used as such. But when
required, it opens out below into a water
proof suit which Edmund claims will
keep its owner afloat at sea for several
days.
The bag when in the water need not
he closed. for it will not sink" declares
the inventor. The position OF the occu-
pant is one of perfect comfort. for he may
stand upright, lean on the arms. or rest
on the back or sides without danger OF
tipping. Food enough to last a number
Of days can be taken into the compart-
ment. In short, it is an emergency
hotel"
From Sheridan. Wyo.. comes o. A
Youngren with the other life saving
device. To demonstrate his contention
that he has perfected a form of life pre-
server which will enable a shipwrecked
person TO keep off water, cold. hunger
and thirst for several days, Youngren
went down New York harbor on a tug
boat and, CARRIED in the costume, re-
manned in the water for forty minutes.
The costume is a one-piece one O.
Sembling divers suit. 1t is made of
rubber-cOated cloth and has an inch thick
lining of kapok, new substance re-
sembling cotton. used in life preservers.
The feet of the costume are weighted with
five pounds of lead each so that no mat
ter how the person wearing the costume
may go overheard he will Immediately
assume an upright position. He showed
how to draw fresh water from a pouch
a. the side OF the suit by means of rub
her tube. Then he detached one arm
from the sleeve, pushed the elastic neck
piece up to his eyes with the free hand,
and fed himself from a food pouch on the
inside of the suit.

the different sizes of fruit as it is graded.
The center of the machine is occupied

COTTON Made
to Resist FIRE

A CHEAP method of making cotton
~ permanently as resistant to fire
as is wool is being sought by in
yentors and makers of cotton garments.
Cotton clothing can be made freproof by
being dipped in a solution of ammonium
phosphate, and dried. The treatment
has to be repeated after every washing,
but it is estimated that this would add
only fifteen cents a week to the laundry
expenses of the average family.
But apart from the fact that there
are thousands of families which cannot
afford to spend even an additional fifteen
cents week, the bother is too great
and the risk from fire too remote to
make the system practicable. Efforts
are being made In some quarters to in
duce mothers to apply the treatment to
the clothing Of young children, but even
the most ardent safety first" advocates
see the impossibility of making the sys-
tenn universal in the interests Of fire and
burn prevention.

jaws, one fixed, the other movable, the
jaws can be set around the rim Of hot
