Only 81 Italian citizens according
to tax returns, could qualify In the
United States today as miiiionaires.
On the basis of lire there are 5,l1S
Italians who are worth more than a
million but million lire at the pres
ent exchange amounts TO only $4,000.
Three-fifths of the Italian milllonaires
have no more than this amount. and
only 80 have more than ten million
lire $500, 000). Only two men pos
sess more than fifty million lire.
Rockefeller, by these figures, Is thus

HOW

HOW========================
ENGLISH ENGINEERS ARE
EMPLOYING SEWAGE GAS.
Gas produced from sewage
Is being used TO run engines at
the sewage disposal works OF
Birmingham, England. Expert
ments made by John ID. Watson,
chief engineer, have proved
successful, according to reports
transmitted through consular
channels. The sludge from the
sewage. after II has undergone
certain amount of sedimenta-
ton. Ii fed into u septic gas
producing tank, which Is fur
nlshed with an air relief valve.
The sludge is not aerated be-
fore II Is used. The gas thus
obtained contains about GO yer
cent OF methane or marsh ga'.
and Is of big calorific value. II
averages as much as 675 Brit
ish thermal units per cubic foot,
which compares vrey favorably
with coal gas with GOO british
thermal units per cubic foot.
Mr.. Watson calculates that
two tons of sludge will produce
the gas required to give $50
horsepower hours. and that the
total power available at that
particular station could be
raised II necessary. TO COCO
horsepower hours daily. The
gas produced AZ the plant Is EN-
ployed In driving IA 23-horse-
power gus engine. which In
turn works a centrifugal sludge
pump. The exhaust from the
engine is passed through pipes
trayersing the septic tank to
supply heat and hasten the
formation Of gas. Samples of
gas taken for analysis In cold
weather had higher calorltlc
value than those taken In warm
er weather, fact which would
seem 10 indicate that n warm
climate Is not essential for gas
production.

quoted. in the newspapers. If l felt
that way about it, I wouldn't have
bcc,. fool enough to say so, but his
own followers telegraphed him yes
terday afternoon, and he has had
ample opportunity to deny the state
ment. | have heard of no denial,
and I understand the speech was
dictated in advance to the neWspa-
perg of the state. In behalf OF the
twenty-five senators and those in the

about the tax equalization law,
went to say that the governor
charge is an unwarranted falsehood
1--WE are going to make repeal OF
tho tax equalization law real issue
in the coming election, and although
the governor may not know 1t, there
is an active organization in th!s
state that will see to it that ne is
defeated and the law repealed.
Senator John H. Jones, next rec
ognized, said he rose to the defense
of the character of Senator Nix, to
the defense of the newspapers and
to the defense of the governor. He
said the governors remarks at Blue
Springs were of a general character,
and that he spoke of program OF
repeal, not of the senate's action in
refusing to repeal the law.
"I think he went too far when ne
used the word character in his re-
marks" said Senator Jones. with
that exception, however, l agree
with everything he said. 1t is a
destructive policy to tear down our
equalization law without giving us
something adequate to take its
place"

nal currents alone. One explanation
of this is that the wasted half of
the current produces heat because
of the resistance of the crystal. This
heat is produced at the point of con-
tact of a crystal with the "feeler"
wire.
Under certain conditions when
two unlike substances are in con-
tact, the application of heat will pro-
duce d flow of electricity. A COM
bination of two dissimilar substances
for the production of electricity in
this way is known as a thermo-
couple"
Doubtless, some types Of galena
dead ore) and one or two similar
crystals not only show unilateral
conductivity, but also act as thermal
batteries, giving off a pulse of cur
rent each time as result of other
heat-producing pulses which pass
through it
1t is important to arrange the
crystal detector so that all of the
energy which is collected in it's cir
cult passes through it. This is ac-
compEshed by making sure that
there is nothing connected across
the detector which could act as a
small condenser.
If small condensers are formed by
length of twisted pair" conduc-
tors, or large metal surfaces which
a~e closely adjacent to each other
and used in the connection or con-
struction Of the crystal detector
system, they will afford low resist.
ance paths for the high frequency
currents.
Currents flowing through these
paths will never be rectified, and SO
far as the magnetic telephones are
concerned, will serve no purpose.
In the accompanying "hook-up" of
a crystal detector circuit, wires A
and B should never be allowed to
form a pair" AS such they would
act as a small condenser. They
should be single conductors, spaced
somewhat.

Cotton Market Opinions

Hooper & Co.: We expect near months

over the distant. montss as the season ad-
vances and believe that higher prices are in
evftable later.
s. B. Chaplin & Co.: AS it is largely a
weather market at present, prices will be
subject to Irregular fluctuations of a back

S. NJ. Weld & Co.: For the moment we
do not expect decided trend in prices but
would take advantage of any recessions to
make purchases.
Lee Rosenberg: From now on the eastern
belt will raise boil weeyils instead of cot
ton.
Lamborn & Co.. The vast majority are
bullish and awaiting sensationally bullish
advices in next two weeks but trading Is
not broad
Houseman & Co.: Under the present
conditions and at the present price levels we
are not very enthusiastic over the long side
of cotton.
Thomson & McKnnon: While present
weather conditions contue would coSideI
the ACCESSIBILITY of purchasing cotton on all
dips.

market to MS.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: Cau@ is advisa'

more trade buying than has been prevalent
so far but the trade as a whole are AFRAID

"Unilateral conductivity." What
is it?
1t is the secret of the crystal set.
It is the property that makes Of any
substance a "detector" of radio sig
nails.
Certain minerals, and a few other
materials, possess the characters
tics which make them good conduct
ors for current passed through them
in one direction only. For example,
q piece of carborundum may show a
resistance Of only two or three ohms
to a certain current. When the
current is reversed, the resistance
to it's flow is several hundred, and
in some instances, several thousand
oEmS.
When substances possessing these
characteristics are placed in a circuit
where an alternating current is
flowing, pulses of one polarity pass
with ease, while those of the other
are wasted and lost. The substance
thus becomes known as a ''rectifier.
since 1t "rectifies' the alternating
