vestigation of the past year in any
country has probably been the at
tempt to measure the earth's crust.
We know very little about the shell
en- which we live. Scientists nave
been studying the problem in Hawaii,
Tuscany and Salvador. where the OPP
portunities for investigation are es-
pecialIy favorable. Many data. new
to science have been collected con-
corning the shell, it's composition and
probable age Still other tests have
been made in New South Wales,
where a great reservoir concentrates
an immense weight of water on a
limited area. and instruments have
been devised to measure the move
ment of the earth's crust under this
weight. New light has thus been
thrown on the action of volcanoes.

EYE HAS GREAT sENsITIWTv
Wonderful Human Organ Capable OF
Adapting Itself to Any Possible
Circumstances

On entering a dark room after stay in
the outside daylight the eye at once begins
to increase in sensitivity. At first this in
crease appears to be slow. but after FIVE
minutes the increase is quite rapid, the eye
acquiring sensitivity several times its
initial value. After 80 minutes sojurn in
the dark the sensitivity still increases, but
more slowly than before. and after IS min.
utes or an hour the maximum sensitivity
is reached. The final sensitivity varies
slightly with different people, but in fully
adapted condition the eye is easily 5000 or
10000 times more sensitive than it was at
the beginning.
These facts are obtained from a study
of the sensitiveness of the eye in the dark
made by Selg Hecht of Creighton universe
ty, Omaha, and published in the Journal OF
General Physiology. Mr.. Hecht's study
goes to show taht the increased sensitive.
ness is due to a reversible photochemical
reaction within the retina, involving a
photosubstance and its two products Of de.
composition.

For long time one of the most pop
ular exhibits at the aquarium has been
the sea-horses, says the New York
Times. At the present time there is
scarcity of these interesting fishes with
miniature horses heads and queer
tails w. l.. De Nyse assistant direct
or. said the scarcity might be attribu-
ted to the excessive cold of two years
ago. in which many of the delicate
little fishes might have persisted before
reaching warmer ATTITUDES.
When in captivity sea-horses have to
be fed on minute marine worms. They
are found in local bays. and Mr.. De
Nyse has seen as many as eight or ten
with their tails hooked together drift
ing with the tide. They are among the
most unique of fishes, and in the
aquarium tank they may be seen with
their tails linked together like so many
monkeys. The scientific name of the
sea-horse is Hippocampus. They were
known to the ancient Greeks and
Romans.

People Of Northern New Mexico Have
High Object in infliction Of Bodily
Punishment
A passion play takes place yearly
in the Ration and Sandia mountains
of northern New Mexico. a group of
people living in this district have for
centuries each Lenten season gone
through a series of self-inf1icted bod
lily fortunes, enduring their agotlies
in the belief that these barbarities
will absolve them from past and flu
ture sins. The passion play is said to
be so savagely realistic that at times
performers have died as a result of
injuries received while taking part
in it.
These people are known as Los
Hermanon Penitentes. or the Peni-
tent brotherhood. The Penitentes
are of Mexican origin, with a marked
strain of Indian blood They are
densely ignorant, not many being
able to read Spanish, and only a very
few are familiar with English. Hard
ly one in ten has ever been a hum
dred miles away from the isolated
mountain settlements where they
make their homes. They keep small
flocks of cattle and sheep and some
times mine for gold and silver. They
live in mud and crude stone houses
as did their ancestors two or three
hundred years ago.

a SOUND is an air disturbance
~ which reaches the ear and causes
the sensation of hearing. A noise
is sound too brief or too irregular to
have any assignable pitch. A tone is
a sound continuing uniformly for an
appreciable time and having a definite
pitch. Thus music becomes organized
noise.
When Apollo twanged his Tyre, his
method of tuning must have been as
archaic as. his instrument.
For hundreds of years before the ad.
vent of the acoustic engineer, makers
of musical instruments were compelled
to invent their own systems, often
without scientific basis, although in
the seventh century B. C. Pythagoras
invented the monochord to illustrate
his theory of musical harmony as based
on numbers.
The monochord is still used by acous-
tic engineers for experimenting upon
mathematical relations of musical
sounds. His device consisted of stretch
ing single string between two bridges,
one or both of which were movable,
which stand upon a graduated rule for
the purpose of readily changing and
measuring the length of the string when
q certain pitch is reached by putting
q weight on the end of the string.
The modern piano engineer will place

Didn't Look Like Police,

Sport is making great strides in
France. but the police occasionally
make strange mistakes when they see
a long line Of runners sprinting along
the roads and across country.
Not long ago at Vincennes a number
OF young athletes from the military
school Of sport were INDUCING in a
paper chase through the woods when
they were arrested by gendarmes for
being improperly dressed. They were
all in white vests and running shorts.
The gendarmes. however, had appar-
emily not heard of such articles Of at
tire or Of the military school of sport
Protests made by the colonel in COM
mand had no effect.
A few days later. however. when the
local gendarmes made a fresh haul Of
a dozen athletes. they realized their
error. for the leader explained that he
was an inspector Of police and that
the runners behind him were all Paris
policemen enjoying a fortnight's train

Hardest ToOl-Stcel Yet Discovered

When a tool becomes dull, time is
required to sharpen it, and time in a
machine shop is expensive. A tool
that will cut hard materials and still
keep it's edge saves both time and
money. Eleven years ago Profess
sor J. o. Arnold, Of Sheffield, Eng
land, invented the alloy of steel in
which the metal vanadium was in
troduced to provide a cutting pow
err greater than that Of other steels.
AS a result very rapid production
became possible. He has now pro-
duced a steel of even. greater cutting
power in which the alloy molybden-
UNI replaces the tungsten present
in all vanadium- alloy steels, form
ing six per cent of the steel instead
Of the eighteen per cent of tungsten.
1t eclipses the cutting power or all
it's rivals.-Popular Mechanics Maya

Many reasons for Insomnia

Whenever sleep becomes coy and
must be wooed it is a sign that some
thing has gone amiss and must be
remedied. To obtain sleep then be-
comes a search for a complex men
tai, emotional or physical thorn in
the side. Loss of sleep may be due
to some physical thorn such as an
overburdened intestine or stomach,
an abscessed tooth root, thickened
tonsil. skin irritated or cold. or an
infection in some hidden, walled off
area of the anatomy. Equally as
often some unconscious memory of
financial reverses or difficulties, do
nestle complications or some other
work banishes sleep.

on piano tuned to concert pitch.
What was once the province of the
piano maker, now devolves upon the
wire manufacturer, whose product when
put to the test, must be absolutely and
positively uniform. The acoustic engi.
neer was given piece of iron ore and
Beethoven's Sonata Apassionata and
commanded to transform the ore into .
medium for the expression of the COM
poser's ideal in sense form.
The combined knowledge of the metal
lurgist, the chemist, the physicist, the
acoustic engineer and the mechanician
must be utilized in the solution of the
problem.
1t has become a source of wonder
ever since Rudolph of Nuremberg drew
the first wire in 14l0 that wire of q
specified gage and uniform temper could
be drawn.
So definite has become this science
that even makers of popular price pia-
nos can now duplicate with entire as
surance the scales worked out by the
acoustic engineer.
1t is now conceded that the best pia-
nos in the world are made in America

should place them in every rural and
urban home.

Reliable Information

An American tourist recently visited
the ancient city of Chester, and was
startled by the loud Changing of the
fire alarm bell.
Seeing others run, he ran, too, and
presently found himself one of a crowd
gathered to witness the departure of
the fire engines. In short time the
engines dashed out of the yard and
disappeared down the street in a whirl
OF dust and smoke.
With a view to gathering informa-
ton. the tourist addressed himself to
a man in the crowd:
Say. mister, l suppose in an old
place like this containing so many
timber ronted houses, you often have
a fire?"
pretty often,' assented the man.
How often, now, does a fire occur?"
asked the American.
Every time that bell rings" replied
the man, nodding towards the bell
tower.-London Tit-Bits.
