LARGEST Generator Built.

A 6O,OOO-kva. 7,OOO-volt, three-phase
generator, rated at 1000 RPM but
designed to withstand so per cent
increase In speed. has been completed
by the Siemens-Schuckert works in
Germany, according to the Electrical
World. The largest rating provided
in any generator previously built by
this company was 21,5OO kva., so that
this order represents a big jump be-
yond all experience. The ability to
withstand such Overspeeding was also
severe requirement, owing to the
utter lack Of high-grade nickel steel
at the time the unit was ordered.
Owing to the size Of the generator,
special cars had to be built for the
rotor and stator. The rotor gondola
car had two ten-wheel trucks.-Scien-

WINGED BElBUGS IN TURKEY
New Breed Is Driving Hotel Keepers,
Their Guests and Housewives to
Utter Despair.

Constantinople.-The bedbug has be-
come Near East problem. It Is ap-
parently new breed Of bug. inbred
from those imported by Russian Per-
sian and Tartar refugees. It is driv-
ing hotel keepers, their guests and
housewives to the utter despair and
hopelessness born of sleepless nights.
1t has invaded the palace Of the
sultan and added to the worries of his
grand chamberlain. The fight against
1t Is regarded as insolvable as that
of the dispute between the Turks and
the Greeks. It Is smaller than the
type Of prewar days, and some Of
those who have examined the new
bug assert that 1t has wings and flies
like mosquito.
It's activities defy mosquito netting,
II appears able to bite through such
netting. 1t doesn't always secrete
itself In the bedding, but may stow
itself In the ceilings and from there
drop upon It's victims. It doesn't coma
singly, but in swarms, attacking from
all directions.
The bug has appeared among the SOL
diers Of the Greek and Turkish arm
les. A newspaper correspondent with
the Turks defeated the bedbug by the
nse Of a rubber blanket. Either the
odor or slippery surface Of the blanket
proved dlsagreeable obstacles.

CLEVER SYSTEM OF SIGNALS
More Ingenious Scheme Than That
Contemplated by Germans Prob
ably Never Was Devised.

German war secrets are now being
disclosed in scientific literature. At
the close of the conflict the Germans
In their laboratories were working
on secret-signal lights of special
character. To the ordinary observer
nothing would be present to indicate
that the light was sending out signals,
would be apparent to an observer
equipped to view 1t with suitable
optical device.
Different principles were employed
for accomplishing this. In one Of
them polarized light was to be sent
which would change in accordance
with the dots and dashes of the code.
When viewed through properly fit
ted binoculars, the color would no
longer be white but would alternate
between red and green. In another
pounds of the rare element didymium
was arranged to alternate in the beam
of light with another screen Of suitable
shade. When the resulting light was
viewed with binoculars equipped with
prisms, black line would appear in
the yellow region of the spectrum
formed whenever the didymium glass
was interposed, permitting the signals
to be read. Another method consisted
in first breaking up the light at the
source into spectrum across which
was placed one or more wires cutting
out narrow regions of color, and these
were arranged to be moved back and
forth short distance along the spec
trum In signaling. The colors were
then recombined into white light and
transmitted. With binoculars provided
with suitable prisms to reform the
spectrum, the signal was perceived in
the motion of dark bands back and
forth along the spectrum, correspond
ing to the movement of the wires at
the transmitting station. One i'm
portant application Of this method Of
signaling would be at sea.-Popular

FIND BIG CINNABAR MINE
Deposit Of Ore In Vast Quantities
That Will Produce Quick
silver.

Monterey, Mexico.-An enormous
deposit Of cinnabar ore, from which
quicksilver is obtained. has been dis.
covered near San Miguel, state Of
Zacatecas, by Emilio M. Gaya, accord
ing to information received here.
1t is stated that the outcroppings
OF the ore are extensive and that
1t Is rich In quicksilver, In addition
to the native mercury that Is found
In the underground crevasses Of the
ore. Preliminary investigations lead
to the belief that the deposit may be
as large as the famous quicksilver
mines Of New Alameden of California.
In the same locality of the new dis
covery are situated the Maravlias and
AscenciOn cinnabar mines which for
many years have been the principal
source Of Mexico's quicksilver produc-
ton, 1t Is stated.
Gaya plans to develop the new prop
erty. In the Terlingua district of the
upper border region Of Texas several
cinnabar mines have been in opera
tion for more than twenty years.
These mines are situated close to the
Rio Grande and outcroppings of Gin
nabar ore have been found on the
Mexican side Of the river just oppo-
site the mines In Texas, but as yet no
steps have been taken toward their
development.

CHURCH JOINS FIGHT

The Emanuel Presbyterian Broth
crhood, one Of the most influential
church organizations in the country,
has swung into line behind Univcr-,
sal to Straighten out the censorship
tangle.
The action OF Carl Lacmmlc, pres.
idcnt of the company, in inviting a
member from every censor board IN
the country TO be his guest at Uni
vcrsal City, met with the whole
hearted approval OF the brotherhood
and brought with it an offer to CO.
operate.
John l.. Byrncs, treasurer OF the
association, called upon Irving G.
Thalberg, general manager at the
studio, and explained the purpose OF
his participation in the censorship
campaign.
WE iecl," he said, that censor.
ship should be point of honor with
producers and that no good can be
accomplished by investing a few
politicians with authority to pass
uron the morals Of millions"
'Mr. Lacmmlc's idea in bringing
these men to Universal City is one
of the sancst steps toward the dis
continuance OF censorship that has
ever been taken. Out OF it will prob
able come legislation that will give
theatrcgoers the right to do thcir

When the ccnSors arrive. Thai

with the church brotherhood, for

picture executives, realizes that the
most effective opposition to unrca-
sonable censorship comes from tho
