SOUND WAVES LOCATE GUNS
sixty-Three Big Fieldpieees Destroyed
oy This Means-Many Other De-
structive instruments.

Hats of to the scientists! II they
are chargeable with inoenting tho
destructive instruments of war, ~
also they propose to construct others
that will undo the evil. DR.. Joseph
s. Ames, professor of physics at
Johns Hopkins university, who has
just returned from the front, has
described q few of the new inven-
tions, says Ieslie's Weekly.
The location Of big guns is now
made by apparatus that records
sound waves. In the battle of Mes
sines, Professor Ames says, SO guns
of large caliber were located and de-
stroyed by this means. Wireless
telegraphy in connection with air.
planes and the construction of the
planes themselves have passed far be-
yond anything conceived in this
country. Methods not described, for
obvious reasons, are being continual
ly advanced for locating mines and
detecting undersea craft. New op-
tical instruments have been devised
for observation purposes. Map-mak-
ing has undergone enormous changes
in connection with the war studies.
Additional applications Of the
science of meteorology have been
found possible in offensive attacks
BY land and flights by air.
Especial mention is made Of tho
work Of Doctor Burgess Of ths
United States bureau Of standards
whose studies Of metallurgy and steel
alloys are now being utilized In the
steal produced in American mills.
A Princeton professor has made .
special investigation Of offensive and
defensive gas warfare. The impor-
tance Of this feature Is emphasised
by the statement that 20 per cent q
the shells now used BY the Germans
contain lethal gases.

START AUTOS By WIRELESS
Waves Are Sent Out From Station
Five Miles Distant to the indiana
State Fair Grounds.

1t has been demonstrated that
an automobile can be started byI
wireless. This was done at recent
Indiana state fair, where the enginel
of an auto was started every IS min
utes by wireless waves sent out from
a station in Indianapolis, five miles
away.
An auto on exhibition at the fair
grounds was equipped with receiving
apparatus and necessary relays and
automatic switches for throwing on
and off the electric current Of the
self-starter and magnetic. An auto
matte switch was provided to allow
the car to run for As seconds, after
which the magnetic was cut off,
bringing the car to stop, the opera
tion being repeated at 55-minute in
tervals.
No human hand had any part in
the operation of starting the car. A
time switch installed in connection
with the wireless transmitter in the
city controlled the entire operation.
From the minute of the operation OF
the car for the first time, by pressing
key at the transmitting station, un.
til the last day Of the fair, a daily
record was kept which shows that the
starting and stopping of the car were
accomplished automatically.
