VOICE CAME THROUGH STORM
How Part of Telephone Communiea-
tion Was Carried to the Ear of
Listening Professor.

Back in the days when wireless
telegraphy was under the close OBJ
servation of students and investiga-
tors, Prof. Herman Vedder of the en-
cheering department of the Michigan
Agricultural college, sat at his instru-
ment one night during a heavy thun-
derStorm to see how wireless would
act with the heavens surcharged to
the limit with electricity. Suddenly,
says the Detroit News, a flash of light
ming ripped into the station, and across
one of the instruments blazed a fam
ing electric arc. Out of the flame came
a human voice.
Professor Vedder heard part of
broken sentence. 1t lasted an instant
Then the blaze snapped out and the
voice ceased
Later Professor Vedder learned that
just when tie arc was formed over
the instrument, telephone wire lead
ing from the home of one of the other
professors had been blown by the
storm across his wireless aerial. The
voice was that of the professors wife
who was attempting to telephone the
grocer. Professor Vedder learned what
she had said, and the words he had
heard come out of the storm fitted In

Ants Guard Trees.

The Cecropias are remarkable trees,
very widely distributed throughout the
tropics. Their slender trunks are
crowned with four leaves at the ends
of the branches. A few active ants
run continually along the branches
and leaves, but If the tree is shaken
slightly an army of ants rush out by
small apertures. ready for a savage as
sault on the intruder. This is the
most terrible guardian that the tree
has retained TO protect it from its
most formidable enemy the "leaf
cutter" ant. The defenders rarely
leave their retreat. where they live on

How Hydrophone 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 a 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. 1t is not only
possible for a 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 filled with water. 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. \ submarine re
