SOUND WAVES LOCATE GUNS
sixty-Three Big FieIdpieees Destroyed
BY This Means-Many Other De-
structive Instruments.

Hats off to the scientists! If they
are chargeable with incenting the
destructive instruments of war, so
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 few Of the new inven-
tions, says Leslie'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, 63 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-
teal 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 the
work of Doctor Burgess of the
United States bureau of standards,
whose studies of metallurgy and steel
alloys are now being utilized in the
steel produced in American mills.
A Princeton professor has made a
special Investigation of offensive and
defensive gas warfare. The impor-
tance of this feature is emphasized
by the statement that 20 per cent of
the shells now used by the Germans
contain lethal gases.

Making Fog to Order.

Fogs are in such great demand in
certain industries that they must be
made to order at great expense. Cot
ton. wool, silk and cordage mills, ware
houses, paper mills, leather and felt
factories, printing plants, and scores
Of other industrial works require a
uniformly humid atmosphere which is
not naturally obtainable. One Of the
most common means Of attaining this
end Is by producing fog at numerous
points throughout q plant and mixing
1t with the surrounding air.

USE OF OTHER SENSES.

Sir Arthur Pearson tells of an in.
teresting conversation he had with
his old friend, Lieut.. Gen. Sir Rob
ert Baden-Powell, who, although
he has excellent eyesight. makes a
habit of doing many things as
though he were blind. He blindfolds
himself for regular periods, and 'he
encourages his Boy Scouts to do the
same thing, recognizing that by tenn
porarily depriving themselves of the
use of sight, they are enabled to cul-
tivate the use of the other senses to
a degree which is impossible so long
as the eye is employed"

Officials sent to look them over recently asked con gress for s200,000 to correct these all legged conditions.
 No waterworks in any town. Drink ing water obtained from cisterns or hauled in wagons from insanitary wells. Fire departments consist of hand carts, tubs, tanks and hand pumps. No sewerage system No fur niture for government offices. which contain old Danish safes made of cast iron and locked with keys.
 The cheerful word was brought back that for many years past the is- lands budget has never met expenses. The biggest revenue obtained was from imports from the United States, which are now cut off. In addition. labor troubles are chronic because of importations from the Barbadoes of low class workmen.
