MAKING SILK STOCKINGS LAST

not exorbitant. He claims that it all depends on
how the hose are purchased and washed and
worn.
How two pairs of silk hose at SIS pair may
be made to last an incredibly long time if the
wearer will take the of them that the aver
age motorist gives his automobile tires, is ex-
planned by contributor to the Illustrated World.
When the motorst buys tire he must neces-
sarily pick out the right size, it would not fit
his rim. He knows, too, that if he gets a size
slightly larger, called "an oversize tire" his
will not only ride easier, but the tire will wear
longer.
This same rule is the first one to follow when
silk hose are purchased. If hosiery is bought
one-half size larger than one in cotton or
Isle, the wearing quality is greatly increased
When putting cotton stockings they will per-
nit more stretching than will silk and this extra
half-size makes the stretching difference.
A little sewing is the next precaution to take
Each individual wears out his stockings in par
ticular place. Some invariably get hole IN the
right large toe, while others suffer with holes IN
the heel on the bottom of the sock first. Be
cause of little 25-cent hole or ''run," So worth
of silk stocking is laid aside. The idea is then,
to remedy, or prevent this 25-cent hole before it
appears With ordinary sewing silk weave or
darn around and over the area where the hole
usually appears. This will reinforce the silk Ia
this space that the hole cannot get start.
"Runs" or Jacobs ladders can also be pre-
vented in the stocking that gets his
moneys worth out of the pair. At the top of
the stocking, below the hem, a sewing ma
chine stitch completely around, and always fasten
the carriers above this stitch Another precau-
ton against the dreaded is unusual care IN
putting the stocking. It should be rolled
down to and including the heel. The toe of the
stocking then should be put over the foot, and
the rest then worked easily over the heel. This
method of putting the stocking prevents the
nail of the toe from accidentally catching a
thread
The expert further contends that the silk
stocking should be worn only once before being
washed. 1t requires but moments time at
night to wash properly ones own hose, whether
they be socks or stockings. Suds no stronger
than CASTLE should be made and the stockings
moved vigorously about in this for a short time.
They should then be rinSed in clear warm water.
Soap applied directly to the fabric has very
harmful effect.
The drying of silk stockings is of the most
important steps affecting their longevity. If the
stockings are colored they should be placed be-
tween two bath towels and allowed to dry slowly.
This preserves the even color, and prevents that
notified look which they acquire when dried
otherwise.
Stockings should never be hung in the sun or
in a bright light at the window to dry.

an arrangement for preventing raiders from
creeping into lines Undecided"
Mr.. Hoffman also describes some successful
tests which were made with model airplanes, af-
ter which the construction of special therlnopiles
and special ranging instrument at once
started The thermopiles for this work had to
cover much larger field than those for trench
use, account of the great speed of the planes.
They were built in form comparable to the cross
hair os ordinary optical instrument, and afo
probably the most elaborate thern1opiles ever
constructed.
This instrument was finished about the time
of the armistice, and was tried out IN January,
1919 at Langley Field, Virginia.
Mr.. Hoffman says that no trouble expert
enced in picking up planes q mile away, in
keeping the dark image the thermopile BY
keeping the image constantly the pile, the
speed of the plane could be read directly by the
instruments already in use for daylight work. AS
extended night flying with poor landing fields
was extremely dangerous, no attempt was made
to ascertain the maximum distance at which
planes could be picked up. To allow for the low
elevation of The plane used in the tests, the motor
of a SMALL low-powered plane throttled down
so that it developed only about SO horsepower.
It was figured that this small amount of energy
would be about equivalent to that coming from
of the large bombing planes at the usual
great height One instrument alone gave only
the direction of the plane two were necessary to
give, by triangulation, the height.
The ease with which planes can be detected at
night Mr.. Hoffman says, is largely due to this
very cold indication of the clear sky. Anything
coming in between the sky and the thermopile,
either plane a cloud, acts a shutter to cut
off the radiation from the surface of the thermo-
pile to outer space and results in large warm
indication.

How YOU Now CAN
SEE in the DARK

XUTHEN in the early years of the the
w nightly Zeppelin raids commenced, atten-
ton of engineers all over the world was
directed toward finding a means of combating
this menace. The time of occurrence of these
raids always at night, suggested the solution Of
the problem. Remove the enshrouding darkness
and the raiders would fall easy prey to artillery
fire and the fast combat planes. AS the went
on and degenerated into the deadlock of trench
fighting a much greater need arose for the same
device. Trench warfare was almost entirely
matter Of night activity. Scouting and patrol
ling, raiding, wiring, and other work was done al
most entirely under cover Of darkness. Although
at night the front beehive of activity, any
circulation in daylight, far in the rear quick
ly drew enemy fire.
1t can be thus seen that an urgent need arose
for nothing less than a sixth sense, a means of
seeing in the dark without being SEEN How such
wonderful device was worked out is described
in the Scientific American by Samuel o. Hoffman
formerly of the Science and Research Division of
the United States Army.
For a number of years prior to 1915, Mr.
Hoffman had devoted the greater part of his time
to Investigations involving infra-red radiation
and his familiarity in this field Immediately sug-
gested that here the solution of the problem
This radiation, Mr.. Hoffman explains is the ordi-
nary dark heat such is felt on bringing the
cold hand an inch so in front of the face
While of the same general nature as light, it has
quite different properties. Hardly any substances
are transparent to it. rocksalt being the only one
easily obtainable Glass is particularly Opaque
that ordinary optical instruments are useless.
However, sharp images can be easily formed by
using concave mirrors of ordinary dimensions, as
the actual wave length of this radiation is sufi-
GENTLY small (1-2500 inch) to obviate trouble
from diffraction This is the reason for the great
superiority of this radiation over sound waves for
detecting purposes in the dark, for with any
available sound waves lin air) it is possible to
form sharp image only with monstrously large
apparatus.
Mr. Hoffman found that it was easily demon
strated expermentally that there was a large
amount of dark radiation available, and that the
detection Of this radiation would not require very
delicate instruments. These experiments were
made indoors with a warm body, and as an after
thought the device was tried with cold body,
with apparently contradictory results, for the in
dicatng instrument moved in the opposite direc-

Where Headless
Worms Are Very
Great Delicacy

VERY year in October and November enor-
nous swarms of the so-called "palolo' worms
suddenly appear on the day before the last
quarter of the moon along the coasts of the South
Sea islands. The natives await this event with
keen interest, since they highly esteem these
worms delicate tt-bit whether eaten raw or
roasted. 1t is said, too, that Europeans who have
succeeded in acquiring" a taste for them find
them very palatable and appetizing.
1t has long been noted that these creatures
were always headIess and this circumstance has
now been explained, says a writer in Kosmos
(Stu&tgart), by the fact that the palolo worm is
really only half worm In other words it is the
rear portion of the body of an annular worm, the
Euncc viridis, which finds its habitat in the crew
ices Of coral reefs. This curious creature has its
body divided into two sharply defined portions, as
shown in the accompanying illustration.
The essential part of the animal is the upper
portion of the body, consisting of thick broad

PLANTS THAT MAKE STONES

IT is we'll known that plants are continually TAX
ing up various mineral substances from the
- soil. Most of this matter is spread about in
various parts of the organism and is not very
apparent to the casual observer. Now and again,
at certain points, there will appear an accumula-
ton to such an extent that stones are produced.
Thus, occasionally, inside the stems of the bam-
boo hard rounded mass is found just at the
joints of the cane. These are of silicious a.
ture, and probably represent excess of silica
taken up by the plant.
Even more interesting are the cocoanut stones

ard Basin, which can at times be dug out of the

ton to that expected. A quick analysis showed
the reason for this to be reflection from the walls
of the room, and it seemed that this fact would
render the device imperative in the field. The
apparatus hurriedly reconstructed and the
following night a test was made on the roof of
the laboratory. The result complete vindi-
cation. Every object sighted on gave a definite
indication, some being several hundred feet away.
These results were of more value as the mirror
used was only four inches in diameter, the largest
that could be found in New York.
The apparatus Mr.. Hoffman used IN these
tests as follows: concave mirror
used to concentrate the infra-red radiation the
blackened surface of a thermope, which consist
ed of minute wires of bismuth and silver soldered
together The radiation concentrated on this
blackened junction absorbed, heating it
slightly. The resulting electric current, flowing

was necessary to make the device practicable, as
it usually happened that the background was a
different temperature from the surface of the
thermopile, and it necessary to compensate
for this.
During the next few weeks trials were made

"rings," while the lower portion or "tail" is COM
posed of much smaller annular segments. This
part of the body, which may reach length of so
en-, is devoted to reproductive purposes
At the period of maturity this section of the
worm, which is filed with sexual products, breaks
away from the main portion of the body and rises
to the surface of the water, where it swims about
for a time and then gradually separates into its
segments, which discharge their contents into the
water, thus fulfilling their function. Meanwhile
the parent animal peacefully leads its obscure
existence in the riffs of the coral reef and pro-
ceeds to grow another "tail."
This is typical example of the self-crippling
capacity so often seen in the animal kingdom, and
shows what an important biological function this
peculiar power may serve. In this case of course,
the principal purpose is the extension of the terri
tory in which the worm exists, since the light
ness of the rear portion of the body enables it to
float far and wide from the place of its origin.
