GOT IDEA FROM SUBMARINE
Inventor Of tho Microphone Tells
How Hs Came to Think About
tho Scheme.

In the Popular Science Monthly and
Worlds Advance. William Dubilier,
the American electrical engineer who
was called to Europe by one Of the
allied governments to devise a system
Of harbor defense against hostile sub
which led to the adoption of RENT rk-
able microphone submarine detector
Although it is impossible to see a
deeply submerged submarine. Mr.. Du
bilier believed that there was method
Of detecting its exact location in the
water. In describing his experiments,
he says
Suppose that submarine gave
forth sound of some kind. would it
not be possible to devise some form
of apparatus by which it could be
heard? That was the starting idea Of
the experiments that | conducted for
the allied government.
AT once the beating of the propel-
lers of submarine suggests itself. 1t
is not Characteristic enough. Motor
boats. steamships and other power.
driven vessels have propellers and al
though their period Of vibration is diff
ferent from that of any other engine
driven craft, some other sound must
be sought-something as distinctive
as the call of a robin or the neghing
of horse, something that by no pos.
sible chance can be mistaken for an
other sound.
Il found what | sought in the weird,
shrill hum Of a submarine, Others had
heard the hum long before | began my
experiments. 1t was taken for engine
vibration. But it is much too high in
pitch for that, as | found by actual
tests.
Il soon convinced myself that the
fine, shrill, almost singing note that
can be heard when the Diesel engines
are cut off and the submarine is trav-
cling under power derived from her
storage batteries is due entirely to her
electric motors. The sound is unmis-
taxable. Step into any central station
where electric power is generated to
light city and you will hear the hum
of a submarine. There is no difference
to the ear. To devise a means of de-
tecting this sound at great distances
was the object of my experimenting.
The microphone at once suggested
itself as a suitable instrument, and
with its use, submarine could be
heard at distance of fifty miles

DISEASED COLONIES
Die DURING WINTER
Bees Affected With Foul Brood in
Fall Should Be Destroyed
or Transferred.

Ny WESLEY FOSTER Colorado Ex-
pertinent Staton)
Many beekeepers endeavor to carry
diseased colonies through the winter
because it is so much easier to treat
them in the spring than in the fall.
In very large number of cases the
diseased colonies die during the win.
ter and the honey is robbed by other
colonies, thus spreading the disease
throughout quite an extended area
The general idea is that, inasmuch
as little breeding is done in the win
ter, there is small likelihood of the
disease spreading in the hive This
is quite true. However, the following
factor is the Tost important one:
The diseased brood is so offensive in
odor that but a very small amount is
highly disagrecabIe to the bees. This
initiates against the natural tendency
Of the bees to cluster during severe
winter weather. A colony lacking
compact clustering during winter soon
succumbs. Very few colonies affect
ed with foul brood get through the
winter for this reason.
If a colony is found affected with
disease in the fall, either destroy 1t
entirely or transfer the bees to a clean
hive and furnish them with sealed
combs of honey, after they have been
deprived of any food for As hours. Su-
gar strip cannot be successfully fed
in the winter
