Most of us are, unfortunately more
or less familiar with the stethOscope,
which the doctor uses when listening
for the signs of defective action in our
lungs or heart. 1t is not so widely
known that the same kind of instru-
ment can be employed to detect alb
normal noises In moving machinery.
The latest development in this work
shop stethoscOpe. due to a British en-
gineer, lies In the use of kind of
telephone receiver In place of the
stethoscope rod.
The advantage of this device is that
every bearing and every gear in n fac
tory can be fitted permanently with
a receiver and all the receivers can
be connected by electric wires TO a
single board In the managers Office or
any other convenient spot. BY means
of suitable switches the manager can
examine each bearing or gear in sue
cesSion without moving from the
board. Since abnormal internal noise
is often the first sign of trouble which
may lead to breakdown, this simple
and rapid means of detection is an in
valuable aid to the factory owner

The starting point of a hailstorm is
a layer Of air laden with water-vapor.
This passes rapidly through varying
degrees OF temperature, which first
freeze the particles of water and then
melt them and re-freeze them, adding
other particles as the journey contin-
ues, Hallstones, In falling, are some
times carried below the central part
of the storm which gave birth to them,
through successive layers of rain or
snow, which, accounts for the fact
that the resultant stone is formed of
number of distinct coatings like the
skins of an onion. II frequently hap
pens that considerable quantity of
this frozen vapor is whirled by the ac-
ton Of the storm into the center of the
tornado. Then, when the force ceases
abruptly or the particles become too
heavy to be supported by the wind,
they fall to the earth in an almost sol.
id mass. The connection between hail
storms and thunderstorms is because
of the rapidly shifting degrees of tenn
perature which accompany the latter
"a fact which also explains why hail
storms occur usually in the spring or
summer, when the majority of thun-
derstorms take place.

Why They are Rich.

The business man who rolls up
bank accounts in bad times as we'll
as in good times is the business man
who adyertises all the time, but
harder and stronger than ever In bad
times. That's because he thinks.
His thinking tells him that when
times are good everybody has money
and it isn't hard for his ad to reach
as many customers as he needs to
buy his stock of goods-say 80 out of
every hundred people. or 80 per cent.
But when times are bad, perhaps
only so people out of every hundred
spend easily. He knows that where
his average advertisement reached so
spenders out of hundred in good
times, in hard times the same ad-
vertisement, with the same reaching
power, will still reach so per cent of
the spenders. or %. But that 's-only
half of what he is accustomed to and
needs; now he must have all or near
ly all the so spenders in order to equal
his good times business. So he girds
up his loins, fixes up bigger ad. a
wallopingly attractive ad, and if he
doesn't reach all the so spenders, he
comes pretty near to it.
That is the system of the biggest,
shrewdest advertisers in America.
You didn't see them cutting their
ads this year. You Just simply saw
them making their advertisements
bigger, stronger, most intelligently
drawn.
That's why they are rich-John
Wanamaker for instance.
And mind this: The figuring and
the principle involved takes no &C
count of whether the advertising is
done in New York or Smithville.
The figuring is done on percentage
of people. The principal is the same
whether your business has been &C
customed to deal with 1000 people
around you or whether you have been
accustomed to deal with one million
people around you.
If you did satisfactory business
in a community of 1000 in good
times, you can do a reasonably good
business in poor times. When few
people have money, you must get
greater percentage of that few than
you got before of the many. You do
it by
Advertising.

Power, of Radium.

The power of radium TO reveal
things hidden is continually finding
some fresh application; now it dis
closes the secret history of old pic
lures, now It saves the fisherman from
wasting his pearl oysters. showing
him whether or not an unopened oys-
ter contains pearls. Lately its power
of revealing its own presence has been
made use of bringing a happy sequel
to what would have been an expen-
siVe mistake indeed. A tube of ra-
dunn worth f1,200 was, by mistake,
thrown into furnace. The one re-
sponsible. greatly concerned, called
in a radium expert. They raked the
ashes out of the furnace and then
sprinkled them with zine sulphide.
The radium caused the zine sulphide
which had fallen on 1t TO become lu-
minous, and, to the great relief Of all
concerned, the little tube was picked
out of the patch of light unharmed.-

Right then and there something was
started. The head waiter was sent
for, and when pressed for details, said
that he was quite sure that the dia-
mond backs had come direct from Bal

"Well," he said finally, "do you sup

The bones which the professor had
dislnterred were those Of a muskrat,
