SINGING GAS FLAME
Invention That Is Causing Some
Discussion.
Pittsburgh Man Able to Mako vIbra-
lions Radiated by Flame Reproduce
Every Note Played Upon
Pipe Organ.

Albert ]. Pyne, Pittsburgh bust
ness man, has perfected, after years OF
study, a device by which he can make
vibrations radiated by the flame from
tiny gas get reproduce every note
played upon pipe organ. The device
has not yet been named, but 1t might
well be called pyrophone. 1t differs
little in principle from a pipe organ.
except that the vibrant note is caused
by a flame instead of a current of air
upon reed
In recent tests in his laboratory Mr..
Pyne proved the practicability of his
invention with a single unit, or octave,
and is perfecting it for a public demon
stration before a party of scientists
and musicians. The inventor does not
claim that he has discovered anything
particularly new to science or that the
instrument will in itself become OF
widespread utility. Like Franklin
experiment with the kite, however.
many persons believe that the appli-
cation of the principle OF the inven-
ton will lead eventually to the re-
production of sound from a ray OF
light. Light flashed upon a screen
will, they say be made to give forth
| tone modulations-music- well as a
diversity of color.
A simple experiment with the Sing
flame from the ordinary gas jet is too

Wood Personalities

Owing to a falling off since August
OF nearly 80 per cent In shipments
of creosote from England and Ger
many. whence comes all but a small
part of the imported oil used by wood
preserving plants in this country,
American manufacturers have taken
steps which, says a report compiled
by the forest service, 1t is estimated
will increase production of the domes-
tic article by about 25 per cent The
imported oil ordinarily forms about IS
per cent of the total used in the
United States, where creosote is the
most important wood preservative.

CHILD LABOR BILL uNAMENDEp.

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 3.-An unfavora-
BILE report by a vote of ten to two was
the fate of the Weaver bill to amend
the child-labor law of the state so as
to raise the age limit to fourteen years
and provide for inspection of factories
under the direction of the commission
er of labor and printing. This deci-
sion was reached after a lengthy joint
committee in the senate chamber dur
ing which both sides were fully heard.
This is taken to mean that there will
be no. changes in the child labor laws
at this session.
There was a big delegation of cot.
ton mill men here and before the com.
mittee hearing they adopted a resolu,

PRESIDENT WILSON URGES
BUSINESS COOPERATION.

Washington, Feb. Incorporation
between business and the government
in framing laws for the benefit of all
the people was urged by President Will
son in an address before several hun
dred representative business men here
attending the annual convention of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. He declared that I'VE must all
pool our interests" to discover the best
means for handling public problems.
The president urged the creation in
the United States in time of peace of
the same kind of united spirit which
moves nations during wars. He de-
clared that when peace is as hand
some as war there will be no wars"
and that when men engage in the
pursuits of peace in the same spirit
OF self sacrifice as they engage in wars
will disappear"
Predicts Food Shortage.
The president predicted that while
there is a shortage of food in the
world now, the shortage will be much
greater later. He pointed out that ul-
der the guidance of the department of
agriculture, efforts must be made by
American farmers to grow more and
more grain that the world may be fed.
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States, the president asked
that business men devise some way of
allowing American exporters to com
bine to form common selling agencies
and togive long time credits in such a
way that these cooperative devices
may be open to the s of all. He de-
clared that apparently the antitrust
laws prohibited such combinations
now, but that he would favor a change,
if a method fair to all could be found.
He spoke of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commences work in survey
ing the world" for the benefit of all
business men.
Business men themselves are to
blame If intelligent laws affecting
them are not framed, the president as
serted. He added that they should
come out into the open and use their
knowledge of conditions to bring about
laws to prevent business evils.

REPEAL SHORT HAUL CLAUSE.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Raleigh, Jan. 27.-There was mo-
need Of argument by advocates of the
repeal OF the long and ahort-haul
clause of the Justice intrastate rate
act today in the House; that body, on
the statement of Representative Hem
ry A. Page that he had petitions sign
ed by $4,000 citizens asking that this
clause be stricken from the act and
the assertion that, the short-line rail-
roads Of North Carolina had all been
seriously crippled by it's operation, by
a vote of 107 to q straightway passed
the bill repeating this section of the
act and sent it to the Senate. There
1t will be met By the McRae amend
ment to its duplicate, offered by the
Senate Ward which would suspend the
clause only so far as 1t shall apply to
freights that are handled by short
lines in conjunction with the trunk
line railroads.
