But il does not end at that
point. It is not yet a mirror. It
must yet be silvered. For silver

a blanket covered table heated TO
about one hundred degrees. While
in this position the Hquihed nitrate
of silver is poured over t.
No longer is it mercury coated.
That practice died a quarter cent

metal and its injurious effect upon

With the silver precipitated
upon the back, the plate is dried,
sheIacked and painted. 1t Is ready
for the frame, and, after the skill
of the frame maker has wrought
a fitting circumference, 1t becomes
at last, a mirror.
But the character Of the glass
uskd determines the quality Of fin
ished mirror. Should It have the
slightest flaw, the most incon-
spicuous couvexity of cOncavity,
such will be magnified in the mir
ror and reflect Milady's features
in grotesque contortion.
To avoid this, practically all
mirrors are now made Of plate
glass. No other sort retains such
integrity of definition and refec-
ton. or embodies that indescrib-
able clearness and briliancy which
stamps the finished product with
the unmistakable mark of quality.

Duchemin woke UP in his bed,

He groaned aloud and with both
hands clutched temples that prom

Plate Glass Discovered
Progress has marched in steady
strides since the days of Louis
Lucas, Of Nehou, France, in 1891.
He was the discoverer of the plate
glass mirror, was the discoverer,
in fact, Of plate glass. Louis
Lucas, once a little known artisan,
deserves Milady's obeisance. To
him alone goes the honor Of max

SENSITIVE DEVICE MAPS OCEAN BED

Within a few years the world will
know the contour Of the undersea
mountain ranges. plains and valleys
as well as the dry land itself.
This viii be made possible by use
of a new sounding device perfected
for the United States navy by Har-
vey G. Hayes. physicist of the naval
experiment station here. With this
device ii Will be possible to map the
ocean floor as accurately as the

the instrument enables a navigator

which he is passing at full speed.
The old, laborious method of "heav-
ine the lead" Will be abolished.
Radio.
Hayes invention is the outgrowth
OF experiments conducted during the
war on sound -detectors for locating
German submarines In Il is en-
bodied a principle Of sound detec-
tion and amplifcation that has de-
veloped radio to its present high
state. The vacuum tube amplifer,
with It's ability TO receive the most
sensitive sound impulse. plays an
important part IN this device.
The method OF Hayes system of
depth easuring is that of creating
a sound on the ship and receiving
its echo from the bottom. knowing
the velocity OF sound in water and
keeping tab on the time between the
creation OF the sound and reception
or its echo, the depth can be ac-
curately ascertained.
To assure accuracy. the device
has been made so sensitive that the
time interval can be recorded to one
one-thouandth OF a second.
Tests.
A series Of tests was recently
made from Newport 70 Gibraltar.

IMAGINE, Milady. q mirrorless

Remember Narcissus, finding his
likeness only in a stream, baffled
By the ripple of the water!
Picture the ancient Grecian
maiden. the Roman matron, the
Etruscan damsel with only a strip
Of polished metal in which TO

charms!
Consider the maids Of medieval
Europe whose eyes sought elusive
figures in the imperfect work Of
the early glass blowersl
Think Of the bellies Of the early
Nineteenth Century before their
hawed window glass mirrorsl
Then, Milady, turn to your own

upright crystal surface and gaze
upon the perfect reflection in the
depth Of the plate glass.

Beauty and ugliness, love and
hatred, elation and despair, all

Behind it hes a study in refec-
tion. The Greek maiden could
find no true satisfaction in the dull
image in her polished metal; nor
could the women Of the Middle
Ages and the Victorian Era in the
translucent mirrors of blown win

doubt in the infallibility of her

The Unsuitable desire 20 have
the true reflection, the behest of
vanity, in other words, has made
an art Of plate glass mirror max
ng. No priceless relic Of antiquity
exacts more rigid care; no precious
metal undergoes a closer assay.
Only the purest of glass plates
may be used and the process,
from beveling to silvering, de-
mands the utmost in skill. There
dare not be a single defect for
the final covering of silver would
accentuate every flaw, inhnitesi-
nal as it might be.
In beveling alone there are flve
steps. First comes roughing with
sand, then the application Of
emery to even the bevel, then
smoothing with the grindstone,
then smoothing with pumice and
finally, polishing with rouge. Could
any art be more exacting7
