 The fact is uncanny. certainly but that Is because we are unaccus- toned to It. Were our eyes con structed a little differently. so that we could see what was going on in the ether, the whole process would seem as natural as sunlight.

DISCOVER CAUSE OF IGNITION

DISCOVER CAUSE OF IGNITION From the Popular Mechanics Maga-
 zine.
 There have been so many cases of spontaneous ignition of hydrogen gas when charging balloons that an ln- .yestigation has been carried on to determine the cause. By observing in the dark jet of hydrogen escap- ing through a pipe flange. It was found that a brush discharge or static electricity was plainly visible. When the pipe was tapped to stir up the dust. an explosion occurred. From the investigation it would seem that the spontaneous ignition was due to the friction between the hydrogen and the dust of iron rust and to the brush discharge of static electricity from the electrified particles.

 Now suppose we were to use powerful X-ray in place of the white light. We could no longer see the light. but by using suitable fiuoresc- ing instruments. we could readily read its messages. Ande the x-ray would have this advantages It would pass through substances that are opaque to visible light. so that we could receive 1t inside of closed rooms or behind intervening hills and buildings
 The radiotelephone closely resem- bles this imaginary X-ray system of communication Every broadcasting station, when operating, sends out from It's antennae q continuous stream of electric waves which are generated by the radio transmitter. These waves spread out in every al : rection. like light, traveling with the speed of light waves, and actually go on to infipity, although there Is. of course, practical limit to the dis tances at which we can detect them. Like the white light of our first H. lustration, these waves do not convey any meaning in themselves. They are merely the agency by which the messages are transported, and they are aptly called "carrier' waves.
 The messages consist of variations of the carrier waves. A telephone microphone Cor mouthpiece) is con nected to the radio transmitter. When this is spoken or sung into. 1t gene rates another series of electric waves; and these latter. joining with the carrier waves, modify them, just as the waves formed by a steamer change the shape and size of the ocean waves that they meet.
 The carrier waves. filling all space strike aerials all over the country. just as the waves of the ocean strike the piles of piers all along the coast. Electric currents are induced In the aerials by this action and as these currents vary with variations In the carrier waves. the currents that flow to the earphones of the receivers exactly correspond with those that flow out of the microphone of the broadcasting station. The earphones now transform these currents back into sounds, and these sounds, and are, therefore. reproductions of the originals
 Consequently. if our eyes were adapted to see radio waves. broad casting station in operation would be piller of light; it's glow would pass through wood and bricks and reach us wherever we were: and whenever messages were being sent out. this glow would culver and change in color like the light of the aurora. <

SAFER THAN ANY STEEL VAULT
Bank Of England Lowers Its Bullion
Into Well at Close Of Business
Each Day.


In one sense the Bank Of England
is the safest bank in the world. It's
unique protection is due to an artesi-
an well in the bank. This well sup
plies the bank with it's water indie
pendently of the rest Of the city; it is
400 feet deep and supplies 1000 cubic
feet of water an hour. #
The bullion department, which holds
the ;ngots Of precious metal, is nightly
submerged in several feet Of water
by the action Of special machinery.
Anyone attempting to rob the bank,
then, must be an expert swimmer and
diver. In the morning the water is
pumped away and the ingots are read
lily accessible again.
However, the. water still protects the
other departments Of the bank. It's
supply is almost unlimited, the bank
knows, and it's protection is practical
" absolute when it is used. The bank
has very delicate machinery arranged
so that even the lifting Of a coin from
a pile will release a catch which, In
turn, releases a supply Of water.-De-
troit News.

Old Oil Well still Prod,,cinn

The Oldest oil well that is still pro-
ducing was drilled recently from the
second to the third sand and shot with
40 quarts of nltroglycerin. It is re-
spending nicely, Its daily production
being ten barrels.
The well was drilled In 1860 at Nc
Clintockville, two miles from Oil City,
and its production was supplied to
Henry 81. Rogers, one of the founders
Of the Standard Oil company, when
he and Charles p. Ellis erected a one
still refinery at McClintockville. a

present owner Of the well and the

Tuesday morning the petit jurors re-
ported for duty. Judge Olsen again
stated to the women jurors that he
would be willing to excuse any of them
on account Of household duties, but
none asked to be relieved. No other
jurors asked to be excused on statutory
grounds. This is probably the first
time in the history of the District
Court Of Brown County that all grand
and petit jurors reported for duty and
that none asked to be excused.
At the peremptory call of the civil
calendar it was reported by the at
torneys that the case Of Anna Golnick

Germans Want state Censorship.

The censorship Of stage matters
which was at one time very rigid in
Germany was abandoned during the
war and the result was that efforts
were at once made to give question:
able performances. The theater-going
public has resented this and have
shown their displeasure by stopping
the shows in several parts Of the
country. In some case actors and ac-
tresses were seriously injured by the
demonstrations which took place.
There is general demand for the re-
turn Of the old-time censorship when
Qnly.the best plays were sanctioned.

At Festival Time the People Give
Themselves Up to All Forms

Booths and barrows lined the streets
selling fireworks and drinks, torrone

with the merchandise and drinks were
the gambling stands. There were a

that stopped .whirling sooner or later
and left light tip resting on the

rockets were firing from every direc-

crackers in lunches were thrown from
the roofs of the churches into the little
stone streets, with rattling and det-
onation like bombardment. Beside
the Duomo the band from Syracuse
was playing airs from the operas.
Meantime the deep blue Of the early
night had fallen over the walls and
over the country dropping down. to-
ward the sea and rising on the other
hand toward the Saracen castle above
the town. A few pale stars were out
and a slender moon, almost past, was
shining. The whole piazza was sweet
with the perfume of the jessamine
that ran along the front Of the house
next the church, Incredible sweetness
in that soft, blue air. And everywhere
were the voices, deeD and bright.
