A Versatile Mine

4 MINING plant that produces
4 n both coal and sand is, according
to writer in THE Scientific Ameri-
cam" located in Ohio. This unique
mine covers about $50 acres.
THE surface stratum is high grade
moulding sand and has an average depth
of about nine feet. 1t is deposited on
q bed of shale about five feet in thick
ness and under this is a seam Of ex-
cellent coal averaging from four to
five feet.
shipments Of sand already have
been made to foundries throughout
the country. A considerable tonnage
Of coal also has been mined. As the
shale stratum is uncovered by the re-
moval of the sand, steam shovels will
be utilized to strip the shale, thereby
exposing the seam of coal, which will
be mined in the open.
I'm comparatively few localities is
the coal seam sufficiently near the sur
face to permit Of. stripping. The sand
IS mined by steam shovel and is con-
veyed by mine cars to a stockhouse
from which it is loaded into cars by
a belt conveyor. A force of nine men
can load 400 tons of sand day"

ing for assistance in the food situa-
ton. particularly as regards the
supply of potatoes.
at is planned to increase the
number Of allotments from 1900, 900
to 100000 by the next planting
season. At the present time there
is only about one allotment to every
ten or twelve families, but by tax
ing advantage of a large amount of
land that has been growing up in
weeds it is hoped to have this up to
one allotment for every five families.
There are, even now, several cases
where there is plot for every
three, and in one or two cases every
two, households"

wood and composition shingles in many
varieties of color.
These can be ordered in groups; for
instance, there are various shades Of
brown or of green which were stained
or fred with the direct purpose of
associating them. A roof all in one
tone is heavy and monotonous. 1t
lacks life ard looks wofully new.
Therefore many roofs Of shingles nova
days are laid in different tones.
If the roof is 20 be green in effect,
three kinds Of shingles are dipped
in green preservative shade, and
each wood takes the stain differently.
so that the roof at once shows the
modulated softness generally found
only in the old roof.
Tile, whether fat (shingle shaped) or
half round, comes in every shade of
brown or red found in autumn foliage.
They also may be had in all the tones
of green found in spring and summer.
Occasionally blue or yellow or
even a NAIVE tile IS introduced when
the roof is being made, just to give life.
Colored tiles set above the doorway,
beneath the caves as medalions, above
or beneath windows, in the vestibule
floor. IN terraces are exceedingly eff
fective when the house is made Of hol-
low tile, stucco or brick. In q house
made Of wood color is gained by stain
ing the blinds, the roof beneath the

tone as peacock blue or dull gold.

PROFESSOR Sir ]. J. THOMSON, in
the course Of lectures on "Spec-
trum Analysis and the Structure of the
Atom" at the Royal Institution, dealt
with some debated points bearing on
the close connection between electricity
and light, states a writer in English
Mechanic and World of Science" He
held that luminosity was due to the re
turn Of negative electricity to atoms
that had been deprived of it,
Light, he proceeded, seemed to pass
through matter, such as glass and wa
ter, more slowly than through empty
space. This was an important point
slurred over in the textbooks. What
was the explanation? He offered one,
based on abstruse calculations and IL
Illustrated by diagrams, to show that
the light-wave really travelled through
glass and water with its usual velocity,
though the apparent velocity was slow
err Electrons were stirred to the dis
charge of force in another direction.
SO that energy was shifted, and the
part of the wave arriving in good time
without the energy had no effect, the
energy coming later.
An interesting problem was how did
the single electron in the hydrogen
atom remain In equilibrium 1t was
supposed that this was due to rotation
in an orbit round the positive nucleus
But this, he suggested, was not the
right explanation. There was no evil

The almond, which is said to have

ing the Mediterranean from which
most Of the worlds supply is pro-
duced) is the first of the deciduous
fruit trees to start to grow and To

sentative Stevenson, of Minnesota,
ranking Republican member Of thu
House Postofice Committee, pre-
dicted Eyes" if the progress now
being made in wireless communities
ton continues. Mr.. STEVENSON, as
quoted in "The Wireless Age" saysi
"Radio communication Is the coming
thing. It is making such rapid strides
that before the end Of the year the
average American will not be bothering
much about the transmission of an erdi-
nary message over an ordinary tele-
graph or telephone wire or as to
whether the ordinary telephone or tele-
graph wire is owned or controlled by
government or private interests"

lay down requirements on the fol-
lowing lines:
For training. A 1O0-horse-
power rotary or radical engine.
For fast scout work.-A 800
horsepower radial engine.
For reconnaissance. - A 500
horsepower water or air cooled
engine.
For two or three scatter fight
ers. A 75O-horsepower water
cooled engine.
For long distance bombing
A ,OOO-horsepower water cooled
engine;
and q similar programme for air
ship engine development. 1t is
assumed that at present the 600
horsepower engine is the practical
limit for efficient propeller con-
struction. Any further horsepower
required in very large types of ma
chimes would be obtained by the
multiplication Of units.
1t is vitality important that the
government should make clear to
manufacturers with as little delay as
possible the types and horsepower Of
the engines they require developed
for military service, SO that the va
rious manufacturing firms would not
De producing engines Of types vary
ing between 25 and so horsepower of
each other, as in the case Of the 375
horsepower Rolls Royce, the 400
horsepower Liberty and the $50
horsepower Napier. A definite state
ment now would enable manufacture
ers Of commercial engines to approx
mate their types and horsepower to
the future requirements of the gov
eminent without unnecessary conlpe-
tition or overlapping.
In order to encourage initiative
private firms should not be held down
to rigid detailed specifications, but
should be allowed to prove their own
designs, provided that they follow
the general specifications outlined by
the Air Ministry as to weight, horse
power and revolutions minute. In
the past we have relied upon foreign
sources for at least cne- third of our
engines and for about so per cent of
our designs; and we have, unfortu-
nately, suffered from a dearth of
successful all-British designs. The
Air Ministry should, therefore, do all
in its power to interest and encour-
age our engineering firms to design
and build aeroplane engines.

q S MARS trying to signal US?
81 If so, why can't we get them
& Is it because their civilization is
SO far ahead of ours? These
questions arise as one reads the fol-
lowing from "The Electrical Experi-
menter":
THE earth-bound layman still per-
sists that Intelligence can only exist
on earth. Such childish reasoning
shows what sort of intelligence bios
SONS on this planet. It never occurs
to these reviewers to question why
Nature in her wisdom should have
singled out the little speck called earth
on which to plant beings endowed with
reason. Why should there be such an
exception? Life in some form or other
is certain of being found on myriads
of worlds throughout the universe.
And if one world dies, all life does
not die with it. Svante Arrhenius
shows US how life-bearing spores are
carried by the pressure of light
through interstellar space, notwith-
standing the absolute zero which pre-
walls there.
"In our planetary system, conditions
for life, such as we know it, probably
only exists on two planets Mars and
Venus Life on the latter being more
or less doubtful, due to its heavy
water-laden atmosphere, there remains
Mars, body much older in evolution
than the earth. Conditions on Mars
we know by direct observation as well
as deduction are favorable for life,
and we may be certain that it exists
there. And If we once grant this, we
must also grant that it must have ex-
listed for hundreds of thousands Of
years prior to that on earth; conse-
quently Martian civilization must be
thousands of years ahead Of ours.
From this we must deduce again
that the Martians probably signalled
to us ages ago, when prehistoric man
still roamed the forests. But why
go so far back7 Suppose the Martians
had sent us radio messages only
thirty years ago. We could never
have received them, for we then had
no means Of recording them. Detectora
and audions were undreamed of.
an all this warped logic, we pre-
suppose wireless signals. But why
should Il civilization so far ahead o.
ours use--to them-obsolete radio
waves. which, like as not can never
hope to bridge 35,00o000 miles? If
tho Martians are signalling to US, you
may be certain that they use an en-
tirely different means than radio. To
be sure, 1t may turn out to be one Of
the many wave forms of the ether
but we can only make q poor guess at
1t to-day. Meanwhile Marian signals
probably fly about our heads day and
night, as they may have for thousands
of years, but we are still deaf and
blind to them. The Marian wave de-
tector st II remains unnvented. AT

by Professor Carver, of Illi-
nois University, in the periodical Of
the Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace, has recently been
published, part Of which follows:
I'm order TO get clear idea of the
relation of thrift to the strength of
the nation in war time it will be nee
essary to analyze the nature of thrift
and its relation to national economy in
general. To begin with. it should be
perfectly clear that thrift does not
mean the boarding of money. To hoard
money is one of the most thriftiess
things one can so with 1t. The miser
of romance who kept his money in a
secret hoard where he might gloat over
it and enjoy the sensation of feeling,
hearing and seeing it, was, in the
strictest possible sense, a thriftless
consumer of wealth.
INSTEAD Of using money as tool of
production or instrument of business.
he was using it as a means of direct
for the adornment Of his body would
scarcely have been more frivolous.
thriftless or selfish
Thrift, TO less than extrava pancs
consists in using money-that is. in
spending it. The sole difference Is In
the purpose or purposes for which il As
used or spent. TO spend money for i'm
mediate and temporary qualification ia
extravaganza. To spend it for things
which add to ones power, mental. phvs-
zeal, moral or economic, is thrift. To
spend it for tools of production where
with one may increase his productive
power Is thrift
For farmer to spend money on a
luxurious automobile when he needs "a
tractor with which to cultivate his land
is extravaganza. To spend the same
amount Of money for tractor when
ne needs one with which to cultivate
his land more thoroughly and increase
MS productive power is thrift. Money
Is spent as truly in one case as in the
other. 1t stimulates business "a Of
fecSlvely in the one case as in the
pther. But when money Is spent ex-
travagantly it adds nothing to the pro-
ductlve power, either of the individual
a1aon. 10 spend it thriftilv
is to add to the productive power Of
both the individual and the nation"
