your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-taad-

pains Of lumbago, rheumatism and

Of sediment; channels often get sore

lenuth of Wireless Waves,

In articles on wireless telegraphy
such expressions as POO meter wave
lengths, 600 meter wave lengths, 1900
meter wave lengths are constantly
used. in reply TO correspondent who
asks how the length Of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation.
THE length Of an electric wave IS
determined by wave meter. The rat
ural wave length of an aerial is four
times its linear length just as the
wave length of Il note of closed organ
pipe is four times the length Of the
pipe, and the wave length Of the note
of tuning fork IS four times the
length Of the box which is resonant
with the note. However. other consil-
erations make it difficult to measure
the wave length oy rule. and the
wave meter gives more correct result
than can be found BY measuring the
length Of the wire

Work
New York Need for expert railroad
men to repair the lines in France is so

sent out by the railroads war board to
the various roads Of the country for
assistance in organizing nine regiments
Of railroad men to 90 at once to France.
They will he part Of the regular
army. ard at the head Of each regiment
az colonel win be an engineer officer
Of the army.
The plans of the board call for five
construction regiments, one SHOP or re-
pair regiment and three operating rcgi-
ments. Construction viii be the main
work Of the men sent over, but the re-
pair and operating needs are hardly
less Immediate. a notice sent out by
the railroads war board says:
1.-THE French railways are badly run
down. They need more or less complete
rehahilitatioM France has no men who
can be spared for this work She wants
all her men at the front. Before we can
train men 10 90 into the trenches we
can supply Frances railroad wants,
and we can do it practically immedi-
ately. Any mcn we send over must be
soldiers, so it will be necessary for the
railroad forces to enter the army.
we propose to make up five con.
struction regiments of six companies
each to do this rehabilitation. Each
regiment will have an engineer officer
Of the United States army as colonel
and another officer from the army as
an adjutant. The other officers will be
made up of railroad men, except that
the commissary will be provided by
the United States army. Each licutcn.
ant colonel will be a chief engineer Of
railroad or some one else of similar
experience. The captains will be taken
from the engineers OF maintenance OF
way, the lieutenants from supervisors
or road masters and the noncomms
stoned officers from track and bridge
foremen. The priyates will be trach
laborers.
"The pressing need just now Is fol
officers for these regiments They vii
require five chief engineers, thirty en-
gineers Of maintenance of way, ninety
supervisors or road masters, sixty tract

Each company will have 100 track Ia
