Electrified TourmaIine,

The crystal, tourmaline, has very
remarkable optical properties, a fact
known to most people. However, few
people have heard of its peculiar cleo
trical properties. Tourmaline is
capable of attracting small bits of pa
per and straw in much the same way
as amber. This attraction is, of course,
due to an electrostatlc charge.
When the crystal is exposed 10 sun
light of low temperature, it loses its
electrical charge, but regainS il upon
being heated again. If it has ii mega
tive charge at first, it will have IA
positive charge when ii is relocated.
Several other precious stones ex-
h,bit various phenomena along this
line, but tourmaline is the most inter
eSting and spectacular Of an.-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

DISPUTE ACCURACY OF CLOCK
Heirs of Danish NobIen.an Stand to
Win or Lose Large Amount of
Money by Decision.

What time was it when the castle
clock struck twelve?
Ten thousand pounds, normally
about $4,000, hangs on the answer to
this question, explains the London Ex-
press correspondent in Denmark, which
has been the subject of lively argu-
ment in the eastern civil court, Copen-
hagen
The clock in question is in the tower
of Lystrup castle, the seat of one of
Denmark's greatest landlords, the late
Count Moltke, a life member of the
ancient house of lords.
Count Moltke died on the night of
December 1920, 1913, a few seconds
after the castle clock struck twelve
The Danish parliament recently ap-
proved a new and increased scale of
death duties, applicable to the estate
OF all persons who died after midnight
on December 1920.
1t is contended by the counts heirs
that the castle clock was fast and
struck minute too soon. The count,
they say, died on December 10, and
therefore his estate is exempt from
the increase in the death duties.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

The college of engineering offers
many courses. These courses range
from architecture and commercial
engineering to chemical engineering.
and include over 20 separate depart-
ments. Most departments have their
own students organizations. many OF
which are national societies.
The central organization of engin-
eering students is the AlI-Engineers,
composed of all students in the Col
lege OF Engineering. The purpose is
to unite more closely students in the
difefrnt departments.
Among national societies are:
sigma Tau, honorary engineering

American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers. for majors in electrical en-
cheering; and the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, for majors
in mechanical engineering. The To-
Gals include Omega, honorary min
ing; the civil engineer society; Min
ing Engineering and Geological So
ciety, and other smaller department
al organizations.
Sigma Tau is the most important
engineering society, its members be-
ing elected from the most active stu
dents of the two upper classes. 1t is
an honor society of those who are
expected to gain prominence in the
engineering world Omega is a To-
cal organization of the same kind,
except that its membership is limit
ed to students in mining and geology.
The A. I. f. r. and A. s. NJ. F. are
student branches of the professional
electrical and mechanical associa-
tions respectively.
The local departmental organiza-
tons do much constructive work in
their own fields especially along re-
scarce lines They also do much to-
wards obtaining cooperation among
students in the same departments.

The fire which broke out at An chorage on Monday last, destroying the big power plant of the Alaskan Engineering Commission and plung- ing the town in darkness, as chron.- cled in last Tuesdays issue of The News, would appear to have been more serious than the first messages indicated.

 4 dynamo was rushed to Anchor age from Sutton, a couple Of loco motives were requisitioned to supply the necessary power, and the lights were cut in at noon yesterday. The service, although only temporary, is reported to be as good as ever.

Special Despatch to THE New YonK HnRAI D.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Oct. 3.
President Harding has communi-
Gated to Republican leaders in the
Senate his desire that they carry out
the legislative programme now before
them without consideration Of an early
adjournment.
He is not disturbed by the prospect
of Congress being in session while the
international conference on limitation
Of ornaments Is in progress. An
nouncement to this effect is to be made
in the Senate tomorrow by one of the
Republican leaders for the purpose OF
putting an end to the confusion and
uncertainty which has arisen over the
programme.
Leaders have been shaping their
plans with view to adjourning the
present session Of Congress not later
than November 10, the day before the
opening of the armament conference
They have been proceeding on the
while the conference was being held
an opportunity would be furnished for
partisan Democrats to make speeches
and offer resolutions likely to e:nbar-
rass the Administration in the coming
negotiations.
Adjournment on November 10 would
mean that the legislative programme
would be narrowed down to four meas
ures. the treaties Of peace with Ger
many, Austria and Hungary; the tax
bill, the Borah Panama Canal tolls bill
and the anti-beer bill, leaving the rail-
road bill. the allied debt refunding bill,
the tariff and other measures to go
over until the winter session.
President Harding has let it be known
that he has no fear of partisan debate
or of Democratic resolutions aimed to
throw confusion into the armament par
ley. He has already taken Senator
Underwood. the Democratic leader. into
camp as one of the American repre-
sentatives and he has received assur-
ances that the more influential Demo-
Gratis look upon it as suicidal politically
to attempt to throw monkey wrenches
into the limitation of armament con-
ference He takes the position that
public sentiment Is strongly supporting
his efforts to limit armaments and he
feels confident the country would
quickly indicate its disapproval Of parti-
san obstructive tactics.
The canal tolls bill will reach a vote
October 10 and the treaties on October
IA. Prospects are that the rest of Octo-
ber will have to be devoted to the tax
bill. and il 1t Is radically amended, as
rYow seems likely. considerable time will
be passed in adjusting in conference
Immediately following the passage OF
the tax bill the anti-beer bill will bt
brought up. and this Is likely to lead tc
| a continuation of the filibuster which
| has been going on against the measure
from time to time for several months
