Clock Tells the Distance.

BY sounding with sound waves in
stead Of steel cable Frenchman
has been able to determine the depth
Of the ocean in a few seconds, where
the ordinary process requires minutes
and hours. In contrast to the usal
equipment of cable, reels and donkey
engine he equips himself simply with
a quantity of high explosive, micro
phone. and a chronometer. Detonat-
ing a charge of explosive In the wake
of his moving vessel, he hears in his
microphone both the noise of detona-
ton and the echo produced by reflec-
ton from the bottom. Reading the
time interval from the thermometer
and knowing the speed of sound in
water, he is able to calculate the
oceans depth at that point. Tests
have shown that the method yields
sufficiently accurate results for prac-
teal purposes.

Atmosphere,a heIQht.

Some time ago the old question Of
the height of the atmosphere was re-
vived. and gentleman attached to
the naval observatory at Washington
suggested unique method Of solv-
ing 1t by observing with the naked
eye the gradual disappearance OF the
blue color Of the sky as darkness
comes on. According to Rayleigh's
theory, this color is due to reflection
from minute particles in the upper
layers Of the sunset, and hence known
as the depression atmosphere. Having
noted the time Of the sun below the
horizon at the time the blue disap-
pears, the observer can, 1t Is thought,
calculate the height Of the Illuminated
particles overhead. From the mean OF
this scientists observations this height
comes out 100 miles.

Cadets Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadets
of Victoria, B. c. have recently COM
pleted l,40O-mile ride on bicycles,
bearing dispatches from the state COM
mandant to the minister for defense.
The small riders averaged more than
IA miles an hour, and they completed
their task 6 hours and % minutes
ahead of schedule. This fine perform
ance reused public interest in the new
system of cadet training, which has
taken the place of the monotonous
drill-yard evolutions. Australia is
training Its youngest soldiers in
camaraderie, self-sacrifice, alertness
and love of athletics. The story Of
the 1,40O-mile ride against unex-
pected obstacles has set Il standard
which will not be easily forgotten by
the Australian boy. While the dis
patch ride has done much to direct
attention to happier system of train
ing, it has also served to awaken the
interest of fathers and elder brothers.

mistress is when the telephone rings
five times Timbuctoo will go to her
and give five short, sharp barks. He
has never been known to make a mis-
take either by barking more or less
than five barks, or by calling his mis-
tress when the bell rings some other
call.
In order to "shOw off TimbuctOO,"
his mistress asks neighbor to call
her in a few minutes. then she goes
somewhere out of range Of the tele-
phone. and Timbuctoo never fails to
give proof Of his trustworthy sum-
mOning.

More Than Two Years En- Route.

In June, 1918, some Canadian SOL
diers, crossing the Atlantic to join the
forces in Europe. threw overheard in
mid-ocean sealed bottle with a note
inside to the effect that they were on
their way to the war and asking the
finder Of the bottle to forward the note
to the Toronto Sunday World. The
bottle has just been washed ashore at
st. Ives in Cornwall and the request
been carried out What would be in
teresting to know would be where the
bottle has been during the last two
years and half, and what is the drift
that brings so much flotsam and Jet
sam into the harbor of the little fishing
town on the Atlantic. There are many
theories. one of which credits the Gulf
stream with memory for the old
smuggling days and an intention. in
the case Of the Canadians bottle, to
show awareness of these good new
days which find fresh uses for things
Of unlOvely repute.
