Science As A Nerve Detective
By GARRETT P. sERvIss.

4 QUICK, sure eye; steady nerves,
"A which act swiftly but do not
L - jump at shock; muscles which
I keep at just the right tension to re-
I spond instantly to demands of the
brain, and an evenly nourished body
which, like a we'll oiled engine. acts
with the minimum OF friction or
! fatigue-such are the main elements
required in the makeup OF a fighting
| "airman."
On account OF the supreme inpor-
lance OF knowing, in advance, whether
! candidates for the aeropIane service
! possess these requisites, the French
army authorities have adopted a num-
Der OF testing devices, one OF which Is
shown in the accompanying photo
[ graphs.
Three Of these instruments are used
simultaneously. One Of them Is the
pneumOgraph" (breath marker) It
records the rate Of the respiratfons
which varies with both the degree OF
, fatigue and the nervous tension. It is
actuated through a girdle around the
breast which responds to every move
ment of the lungs.
Another is the "doightier" Ginger
piece. which grasps the first two
fingers Of the left hand, and records
the heart beats. The third is the
'trembler." which is held in the right
hand, and which registers tremors very
much as a seismograph, or earthquake
recorder, indicates the slightest move
ments OF the ground and the underI1--
ing rocks OF the earth's shell.
The special purpose Of this last in
strument is to show the degree OF
steadiness Of the nerves, and their
controlability under the impulse OF a
shock
All three Of these instruments are
connected with styles, or recording
pens, which, acting simultaneously
trace each separate curve upon a
single revolving drum. or cylinder.

Since the curves are independent
though all are traced on the same
drum their indications may be read

can be analysed. The source OF the

MINING In ALASKA, 1916
WILL SHOW A BIG GAIN

Washington, D. c. July The
Alaska mining industry viii have a
very prosperous year in 1916. accord
ing TO a statement by Alfred H
Brooks. OF the United State geological
survey, covering the operations during
the first six months Of the year. Cop
per mining will probably show the
greatest advances. About Is Alaska
copper mines are now shipping ore,
and developments are being pushed on
others. indicating that they may be-
come producers before the end Of the
year. There is every reason to be-
leve, therefore, that the Alaska copper
output for 1916 will be greater than
that for any previous year The gold
lode mines OF Alaska Will also make
larger production this year than last,
but il is not now expected that the
placer mining industry in Alaska will
show any marked increase. The ship
ment Of anthony from Alaska is con-
tinuing, and some tungsten ores have
already been shipped from the Fair
banks district

INCREASED ACTIVITY NOTED In
MANGANESE MINES; PRICES UP

Washington, D. c., July There
has been a greatly increased activity
among the manganese mines of the
United States during the first six
months Of 1916. This activity is shown
by the operation Of new mines, the re-
opening Of old mines, and more regular
production from the mines already ac-
tive There is prospect that the pro-
duction for the entire year. according
10 D. r HeWett Of the L. S. geological
survey, VIII greatly exceed that for
1915 which was 1851 tons. the largest
since 1901 Several discoveries are re-
ported from Arizona. California, Ore
gon, Utah, ana Virginia, and there are
now operators in Arkansas, California,
New Mexico and Virginia
During the first quarter Of 1915 the
prices OF all grades Of manganese ore
rose rapidly 10 the highest figures re-
corded in 80 years. Prices Of 60 to 50
cents q unit for ore containing s 10 so
per cent Of man ganese and more than
1 per cent OF iron were freely offered
about April 1. and il is reported that
20 cents a unit, or S55 ton was paid
for several lots
AS long as the present demand for
steel continues there is little prospect
for greatly reduced prices OF either
manganese ore or ferromanganese.
and even II peace is declared during
the winter prices can scarcely decline
TO normal for at least six months or a
year.
Producers Of manganese ore parti-
should realize that never be
fore for SO lang a period has there
been better opportunity for the prof
liable mining Of manganese ore. They
should realize also that this condition
can not continue Indefinitely.

This quantity, which includes a little
Gil actually produced in 1915 Tat mar
keted during 1916. is appreciably less
than the output during the first half
OF 1918. though il is greater by about
100000 barrels than one-half the en-
tire quantity marketed last year.
When. il is considered that the first
half Of 1915 includes the period Of
T1aximum production OF the Cushing
pool in Oklahoma and the Crichton
pool in northwestern Louisiana the
disparity in output between the cor
responding periods is not especially
significant
The magnitude Of this quantity, the
fact that IT is greater than one-half
the total petroleum marketed in the
United States in 1915, and the further
fact that II reflects the results Of gen
eral activity throughout all oil-produc-
ing areas rather than flush production
in restricted areas is. however, sfEni-
ficant and leads TO no other conclusion
than that the final statistics OF oil
marketed in 1916 are destined TO es-
tablish a new record.
The outstanding feature OF the Pc
troleum industry during the half-year
Just closed was the high level reached
in the prices OF crude oil in March and
maintained firmly to the end of the
period This level involves prices
ranging from 30 TO $50 per cent higher
than those Of a year ago.
