How Hydrophone viii Save [ ife.

TOW f1yoropnone Will save Life.
All danger from heavy fogs which
have been the terror of seamen In all
ages is ended, it is believed, by the in
vention OF the hydrophone. In Sc
ries of tests made with ships Of the
navy it has been found that signals
may now be sent under water for
more than 40 miles. It is not only
possible for ship equipped with the
new device to tell its exact distance
from land, but the presence of other
ships may be detected in plenty of
time to avoid collision, and even the
depth Of the water may be measured.
The apparatus consists of tank
placed on the keel of the ship, about
three feet deep and twenty feet long,
which is filed with water. A sensi-
tive recording device picks up the vi
bratiOns sent under the sea. This is
In turn connected with a device, called
the compensation, on the ships bridge,
which indicates the direction In which
the sound travels. A submarine re-

NEW York FIRMS STORE
RECORDS OF OLD DEALS.
"A New York city storage ware
house company has undertaken
to free the city's Offices Of the
old files which clutter them. Few
s Offices which have been doing
business many years are not
burdened beneath the records Of
old deals. These records are
seldom referred to. They may
never be needed. But still there
may come time when they will
be indispensable, so firms go on
preserving them. They clog the
filing cases. They detract from
Office efficiency. They occupy
valuable space where rents are
high. They are the 'eld man of
the sea" to modern business.
It was to remedy this that
some months ago the New York
storage firm built a huge fire
proof warehouse only few
minutes ride from Wall street,
but still in a low-rent district.
It was equipped with hundreds
of small rooms filled with filing
cases. Other space was left va
can't, to be walled up into filing
rooms on customers speciica-
tons. Each renter was guar
anteed the safety and privacy
Of his own ofices-at much
less cost-for his old files.
The popularity Of the scheme
was instantaneous. Banks were
among the first to patronize it.
Some leased as high as 1000
square feet of floor space, which
meant 1900 cubic feet Of filing
space, as the rooms are all Il
feet high. Brokerage firms,
also, were attracted by the plan,
and other concerns of all sizes
gave it their support. Some of
these took no more than so
square feet of space, but they
saved just that much Of higher
priced space, in addition to SIM
plifying their active files.
Though the warehouse has
been open only short while
$50 business houses of New
York have leased rooms in it.

The island of ST. Kilda. says tho
Medical Press, affords an object lesson
In eugenics. Owing to its inaccesst-
bility, its inhabitants are for long
periods together protected from dan
gerOus infections. The few ships
which visit its shores during limited
part of the year bring with them the
germs of mild Infections, such as the
common cold, which generally spreads
throughout the island. More serious
infections are rarely Imported, and the

little opportunity Of acquiring racial
immunity against them (by syste-

duced 1t is likely to devastate the pop
ulation.
Just now most Of the inhabitants
are down with influenza. In the seven
teenth century smallpox was brought
to the island by stricken ship and
every inhabitant died of the disease.
For many years the island remained
uninhabited until in 1925 Its owner
repopulated it with the ancestors Of
the present stock.
The lesson which the history Of st.
Kilda enf0rces is just this-that strive
as we may, we can never succeed In
protecting the human race completely
against microbfc disease. Do what We
will, we cannot eliminate from our
planet all pathogenic microbes or all
microbes capable Of evolving patho-
genie properties. Though doubtless We
act wisely In protecting ourselves to
the utmost limit of our powers against
their attack, by cleanliness, by isola-
ton, by incubation, and the like, the
fact must never be lost sight Of that

The protective mechanisms against
infection with which the warm-blooded
animals are endowed are among the
marvels Of biology. They have evolved
as the result Of an incalculable sacrf-
fee of life and their efficiency can on

this wholesale sacrifice. Such are the
ways of nature. The recent epidemic
Of influenza should persuade US what

INCORPORATION

One of the reasons why incor- poration appeals to The News is because il means home rule for Nenana-the opportunity for those who reside in Nenana to enjoy the fullest measure of local self gov ernment; the opportunity to acquire control of public utilities, and the opportunity to make of Nenana a solid, prosperous business center.
 Towns, like families, business con- eerns and governments, need a head for efficient functioning, and incorporation will provide head for Nenana, without which there can be no material forward move ment.. Without incorporation, the town will drift or stand still.
 Incorporation will insure the con- tinued operation of the public utili- ties, with very necessary and effi- cient fire protection and almost equally essential street lights. There Is no assurance that street lighting and water for fire protection will continue to be provided under the present arrangement
