When he did not come to King street as soon as he expected be asked again for King street and was sent in an opposite direction. Again not sure of his direction, he asked a third time for King street and was asked which King street he wanted.
 The question stumped him. not know. ing that London has nineteen King streets. This number does not include the King streets in London's suburbs.
 If this man who wanted King street had asked for Queen street his predic ament would have been even greater, for there are thirty-four Queen streets In London.

COLLEGE PROF
 NTH. INVENTION

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 - The cyclo-harmonograPh an instrument for. drawing large classes of the important higher pla c. curves in mathematics, has been invented by Robert E. Nor itz, prolessor of mathematics at tnN University of Washington, and is now being used by him to deYel- on his theory of curves. It Is the only device of its kind in the world a sly one instrument has as yet been constructed.
 Although primarily designed for Ise in higher mathematics the in Ltruments has received some at tention from designers. and archi- lects as possibly Of use In thefr proft ssions. It draws a great var ie4y Of rosettes and foliate curves and conventional circular designs such ss are used to decorate the covers of books. Professor Nor itz utIieves' that the instrument might, for this reason, find Q wide application. To him, however, 1t is of theoretical value only.
 Besides being invented and de- signed at the university, the in- strumert was constructed on the campus. sandy Morrow Kane, in- structed on the campus . Sandy Morrow Kane, instructor in metal wor'-. supervised 'he building of the machine in the university foun- dry.
 The value of the device to mathe- matlcs, according to- Professor Nor itz. lice in the fact that 1t draws with scientific precision the curves which heretofore have been imper- fec.lv drawn by hand. The cyclo- narmonograph eliminates the CT TOTS # hand drawn curves, much as tre conpas constructs a more perfect circle than can be drawn by hanI. The former process of plot ting curve by connecting a series of determined points, with it's la porous construction and it's inaccur- acies, is eliminated by the cyclo-har- minograph, according td Professor Mor!tE.
 Several schools and colleges have written to Professor Moritz asking for the details of construction and the work done by his machine. He believes that his invention will be used In other schools in time. He will soon publish a large work on the theory of the development of the higher curves which involves the use of his cyclo-harmOnograph, A considerable illustrated article, dess sr!ptive of the instrument, was published by Dr. Moritz in Scientific Amerlcan last summer.

One of the traditions of the British Royal Yacht club is of Lord Ynrbor- ough's Falcon. the crew of which were paid extra wages on condition that they they submitted to the usual rules ln force on British vessels of war. These included fOgglng under certain circumstances, and 1t is said that In consideration of the additional sum paid by Lord Marlborough some of the crew cheerfuny submitted to the oc- casional application of the cat-o'-nine- tails. Indeed, before the Falcon left Plymouth sound for cruise all hands cordially signed a paper setting forth the usefulness of a sound logging in cases of extremity and their perfect willingness to undergo the experiment whenever 1t was deemed necessary for the preservation of good order"

TEEN-INCH HOWITZERS FOR

lem Difficult One.

Washington.-Arm ordnance ex-
perts are at work on designs for huge
field howitzers as large or larger than
the German 42-centimeter guns which
wrecked Belgian and French forts
early in the war. They will be at
least 16-inch caliber, with a range
of IL to Is miles, hurting a projectile
weighing more than ton and carry
ing huge amount of high explo-
sive.
In addition to placing several Of
these mammoth weapons along the
coast line for mobile defense against
naval attacks, army officials now are
considering the creation of special
regiment, equipped with six of the
howitzers, to work as unit of the
mobile army. The problem confront
ing the designers in that regard is to
distribute the enormous weight of the
gun and carriage in such way that
it can be moved over and good road.

MINING NOTES

The British Columbia Copper COM
pany will soon be ready to start up
the Lone Star mine, on this side of
the boundary, three miles from Dan
vile, Wash, after the installation Of
new six-mile cable tramway to the
Greenwood, B. c.. smelter.
Joseph F. Morton and associates,
who recently took over the Orc Fino
group of claims near Murray, Idaho,
from Fritz Marchante and associates,
have organized the Bear Creek Min
ing company and leased the Bear Top
mill. The mill, which has a daily
capacity of 200 tons, will be over
hauled.
Rossland, B. c., is participating in
the mining prosperity, although this
camp. has always been steady and
consistent producer of gold and cop
per ores. The principal producers are
the Center Star, LIE. Roi and War
Eagle, operated by the Consolidated
Mining & Smelling company, and the
Josie and California, operated by the
LIE Roi No. 2. Ltd.
Situated in the beautiful Kaap val
ley, in the Jamestown district OF
Barberton, Transvaal, there is a
mine known by the name of Verdite
The name was given to it on account
of the peculiar green stone found in
thu mine, which is unknown in any
other patr of the globe. Articles OF
iewelry and ornaments are made OF
verdite, and it has been called the
lucky green stone of South Africa.
April's high record of copper metal
sales, with total booking of all agen
cies was close to 4OO,OOO,O0O pounds
will be broken this month, according
Estimates of producers as to the az
gregate run between 75,00O,OO0 and
S0,000,000 pounds at strong prices de
nending entirely upon the delivery
dates in volume. October sold at q
cents, the highest price received fol
several months. November contracts
have. been made at 261A cents. In
quiries have come from American
manufacturers for delivery through
next February. There is an insistent
demand for October copper, and it is
now quite scarce, with producers die
tating terms and price. There is ev
cry indication that prices will go much
higher. One of the leading producers
says: 1T looks as though August
sales would approximate 5OO,0OO,OOC
pounds. Our inquiries are not alone
from old. but new customers as we'll
