Arc Light and Echoes.

To improve the acoustic properties
OF large hall at the University of I'LL
nois an electric arc light was used
to assist the investigators in locating
the sources of sound disturbance.
The acoustical properties Of the
room were wretched at the start, but
by a series Of experiments within the
auditorium itself. following careful
studies In the laboratory, the trouble
has been, practically, cured.
Echoes were located by means of
an alternating current arc light, a
beam from which. accompanied by the
kissing sound Of the arc, was directed
to various parts of the room. The
paths Of the light reflections were
traced and verified by the sound.
A complete acoustical survey was
thus made of the auditorium, resulting
finally in the hanging Of curtains and
canvases in various parts Of the room
so as to stop the reverberations.-E

Fire chief HMade TIme.Y

Fire Chief John Kenlon had rather
novel experience in reaching an early
morning blaze recently. When four
alarms were sounded for fire at a
yacht and engine plant at Morris
Heights, In The Bronx. the chief
hoped into his red automobile and
started for the northern borough. AT
Lenox avenue and 127th street the en-
CINE went dead" This didn't stop
the chief, for he ran 10 the nearest
Il" station and rode to the viaduct at
Eighth avenue and 165th street. where
he spied private touring car. After
waking up the chauffeur and flashing
his badge he jumped in and was
whisked up sedgwick avenue. as he
said later. hitting only the high spots.
until he reached the fire. The chauf-
ieur admitted It was the fastest clip
ne had ever driven. and added that

David Fairchild, who has hunted the
world over for plans of economic
value and introduced them into this
country, has communicated some in
terestin8 facts about insects to our
National Geographic society. which
has in turn given them to the public.
He says the champion aeronaut is the
king grasshopper, which has the abil-
ity to jump one hundred times it's
length and can sail for a thousand
miles before the wind. The cricket
is described as powerful singer, its
shrill note sometimes being heard a
mile away. The males alone are
musical, and the females listen to
their melodious wooings with ears
which are on their forelegs. Being so
musical, 1t would hardly be expected
that they would be such fighters
among themselves as they are, or can
nibals, eating each other when there
is not enough other food at hand.
The ants are described as communists,
because the individual interest is
merged in the community. Theirs is
a female rights colony. The workers
are females, the soldiers are females,
the nurses are females, and there is
one queen mother for them all, who
lays all the eggs for the colony. The
males are but mates for the young
queens.-The Christian Herald.

TO SEE OCEANS MYSTERIES
Invention Of italian Engineer ls Likely
Soon to Be Put Into Gen.
eral Use.

Come down and see the fish,
may be a greeting this summer at
some seaside resorts. Several water
ing places are negotiating for the
installation Of the kiosk-hydro, new
invention, which enables sightseers
to descend into the sea.
The kiosk-hydro, which is the in
vention Of an Italian engineer, con-
sists Of a circular steel observation
chamber in the walls Of which are
double water-tight windows. Above
these windows are electric lamps Of
10000 candle power, fitted with re
Electors and capable, it is claimed,
Of projecting light a distance Of
1900 feet when the water is clear.
The chamber has a sloping roof,
which narrows into a steel tube,
through which two staircases, one for
descent and the other for ascent, lead
to the water level. The upper part
of the kiosk-hydro may either take
the form of a floating kiosk, rising
and falling with the tide, and con-
nected with pier by gangway, or
it may be part Of the pier itself, with
the observation chamber suspended
just above the bed Of the sea.
Glass half an inch thick is used
for the windows, and the steel shell
is OF The same thickness.
