Does a Meter Reader Work.

Few people realize how many mo

through in collecting the information
necessary for making up electric
bills. Some interesting facts are
brought out In the analysis of o
meter readers movements in town
Of 1900 people, as presented in the
Electrical World.
The data show that 2S hours was
required in reading 730 meters. Dur
ing that time 6S1 stairs were climbed
and 1857 doors had to be opened. In
travelling from one consumers house
to the next the meter reader trav

GIVES VIEW OF THE OCEAN
PerIseope. "Eye Of the Submarine" 10
In Many Respects q Remarkable
Invention.

The great fault of the early subma-
rines WAS that they could not see once
they were below the surface OF the
water. The invention of the periscope
altered all that, and gave the modern
submarine marvellous eye by means
OF which 1t could see over the surface
OF the ocean. though the body of the
submarine is completely below the
waves.
The eye OF the submarine is a
straight, hollow tube starting from the
steering chamber OF the vessel, and
projecting above the surface of the
waves when the boat Is submerged
As the periscope is only matter Of
six inches in diameter, and only pro-
jects some Is inches above the waves,
1t Is a most difficult thing for an enemy
to see. Its total length is about Is
feet.
The submarines eye is really a com
bination of telescope and camera OBJ
scura. At the top is a powerful lens,
and inside, at intervals all the way
down. is series OF mirrors which
carry the reflection OF what is above
the surface to the watcher in the sub
marine Is feet below

speech at the celebration OF the

Peace can be rebuilt" he added,
"only upon ancient and accepted prin.

those things which remind nations Of
their duties to each other and deeper
than that, of their duties to mankind
and humanity. America has a great
cause which is not confined to the
American continent. 1t is the cause
of humanity itself"
Declaring his faith in the great
body of naturalized citizens of foreign
birth, the president said he believed
the impression was too general that

We're without a sufficient affection for
the American ideal.

as soon as recognition actually Is ex-
