X-Ray RefIectors.

Mica has been found an excellent
material for concentrating mirrors for
X-rays. Glass will not do, because.
smooth as it is, it Is too rough for the
extremely minute X-rays, which are
much smaller than light waves. Glass
diffuses the X-rays, much as rough
surface diffuses light waves, but it was
found that the surface of mineral crys-
tails were of the requisite smoothness
for rejecting X-rays, and of them mica
is the most adaptable, being readily
split into sheets.

IDEAL PLACE FOR SOLITUDE
Bird Island, In Gulf Of st. Lawrence,
Ono Of Worlds Most Desolats
Spots.

Bird island, most northerly of the
Magdalen Islands. holds the worlds
record for wrecks. The whole group,
in the Gulf of st. Lawrence. Is exceed
ingly dangerous. but Bird island stands
first. More like huge rock than an
island its walls rise grim and gray in
the path Of the mariner. The island
has no beach or coast, only steep ir-
regular cliff rising abruptly from the
water. The top Is a barren plateau Of
about five acres.
The principal inhabitants are birds.
Gulls, gannets and INJURIES come In
thousands to nest and rear their young.
The roar Of their thousands Of wings
browns the noise Of the waters. The
Indians say that they are the souls Of
shlpwrecked sailors.
The human tenants Of the plateau
are the lighthouse keeper and his wife,
doomed to solitary existence except
about once or twice year when q ship
brings provisions. Sometimes, perhaps
In about every three or four years, an
enterprislng naturalist comes to study
the bird life on the Island.
Ships can approach Bird island only
in the calmest weather. The slight
est ripple and the craft keeps a re-
spectful distance. The lighthouse Is
reached by rope and windlass. The
hardest mountain climber would hesi-
tate before attempting to scale its
rough gray walls.
The keepers Of the light have been
singularly unfortunate. The first went
insane and had to be kept confined by
his wife and assistant until the pro-
vision boat arrived. The second was
borne away by floating piece of ice
when seal hunting In the early spring.
His wife maintained the lighthouse
alone until help came from neigh
boring island.

The demand for specialists In the

The demand for specialists In the
army is increasing daily. Mechanics
and technicians of all kinds, including
radio and buzzer operators, are need
ed by the signal corps.
In nearly every large city the fed
eral board of vocational training,
through local school authorities, has
established schools of radio communi-
cation where men of draft age who
have not been called may receive a
preliminary course in the operation OF
radio and buzzer instruments. There
are about 900 of these schools where
instruction is given, usually in the aft
ernoons and evenings. 1t takes about
200 hours for student of average
ability TO obtain speed of 20 words
minute, sending and receiving.
Electrical engineers and men with
good fundamental training in engineer
ing or physics are particularly In de-
mand for signal corps work. Men of
satisfactory qualifications are given
three months training in special
schools, and have every opportunity to
take examinations leading to promo
ton.
Men who have had experience as
electrical repair men, wiremen and me-
chanics are also desired for assign
ment to special schools and later to
field organizations.

When the five new regiments and
10 battalions of railway engineers now
being organized are put on duty there
will be $4,000 Americans engaged in
railroad construction and operation In
France.
After the United States entered the
war one of the first requests transmit
ted to this government by the French
mission was for assistance in strength
ening the French railways. Nine regi-
ments of railway engineers, whose or
ganization was started before General
Pershing sailed, were in France by Au-
gust, 1917. Six of them have been en-
gagged in construction work, building
and rebuilding railways, building docks
and rearranging terminal facilities.
The other three regiments have been
engaged In operation, and some OF the
railway troops have been on the fight
ing line. The additional troops will
be used partly for construction and
maintenance and partly for operation.
A total of $160,00O,000 has been spent
on railway materials alone. Included
In the purchases are 1,727 locomotives,
%, $50 freight cars and $4,000 tons of
steel rails.

SABOTAGE BILL COMPLETE.
1t Is Now Ready for President wilson's
Signature.

| Washington, d. c., April 1.-THE sab,
otage bill, carrying penalties of 80 years
Imprisonment and fines of $4,000 for in.
| iuring war materials or interfering with
war industry, was made ready for the
presidents signature late yesterday
when the Senate accepted conference
report eliminating provisions designed to
punish strikers on war contracts.
| The conference report was adopted
after lengthy debate, during which Sena,
tors Sherman of Illinois and McCumber
OF North Dakota asserted that the labor
situation is getting beyond the control
of labor leaders and that Congress should
take action.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire de-
Tended the loyalty of labor, declaring
that strikes in this country to-day are
inconsiderable,' and said the passage of
legislation designed to prevent peaceful
strikes would not tend to increase labor's
efficiency.
Senator McCumber said that never
have there been as many strikes in the
history of the country as there have been
since the United States entered the war.
although during that period labor has
been better treated and received higher
wages than ever before.
Senator sherman said he believed Pres
ident Gompers and other officials of the
American Federation Of Labor are "sin-
eere. loyal and patriotic in their efforts
to control union labor. but he added that
Mr. tsompers knows the whole coal bin
IN the Missouri valley is on the edge of

plated.
