BIOLOGIST FINDS SINGING SANDS ALONG THE
WISCONSIN RIVER BETWEEN SPRING GREEN
AND BOSCOBEL is SET FORTH

Nature has many freaks in her
handiwork, and Wisconsin has a fair
share of these quirks of creation.
Most of them are well known, such
as the formations at the Dells. There
is one, however, that remains among
the less known mysteries. II is the
singing SANDS on the Wisconsin river,
near Boscobel..
Probably at no place on the Wiscon-
sin. river is il more advantageous to
listen TO the singing sands than along
the sand bars from Spring Green to
Boscobel The phenomenon of the
singing sands is thing which geolo-
gists have been able to give no sciens
tific explanation. Walking over the
sand bars one can. heantthes :. sands

FIVE rpds-=a. weird moaning sound.
Prof. w. o. Hotchkiss ofsthe geology
department OF the university first no.
ticed these singing sands at Spring
Green several years ago. but recently
on a trip along the Wisconsin river
at Boscobel he again discovered the
peculiar phenomenon.

There is no satisfactory explana-
ton for the singing sands so far as
l know" said Prof. Hotchkiss. "The
phenomenon seems to depend upon
certain degree of moisture in the
sands. 1t will not he found along the
waters edge where the sands are wet
and seggy. Neither will it be found
close to the bluffs or far distant from
the water, where the sands are very
dry. 1t will generally be found be-
tween these two extremes.
ut. is probable. tia this same phe-
nomenon may be noticed elsewhere,

the Wisconsin river. Where the sands

over the sands and get much the same
sound. II is@a-very uAdsuaI'and seldom

'"The singing sands do, not seem te
differ from the silent sands along the
Wisconsin river in any other respect
In all probability it is the grinding OF
the sand grains over each other at a
certain degree of moisture that pre-
duces the weird singing sound.

the little stream was damned, and
the power operated a sawmill; also
it is a reported circumstance of dra-

Incidentally. for the benefit of Mad

return trip be made not via the Mer-
rimack ferry, but along an excellent
and picturesque road down the val
ley, TO Sank City the river often close

bridge across the Wisconsin river at
that point. 1t is a pleasing change,

Use OF RADIO
REQUIRES CARE

In setting up radio equipment,
many young enthusiasts forgot that
all wiring pertaining thereto must
conform to the general requirements
for work of this sort. Employees of
the local gas company recently ran
across an instance which an amateur
had carefully grounded his wires on
the city gas pipe. Had hole been
burned in the pipe permitting gas to
escape, serious accident might have
occurred,
Material sent out from the office
of the Inspector of Buildings con-
tains useful information on this sub
ject.
Wires outside Of buildings shall not
cross over or under electric light or
power wires of any circuit of more
than six hundred volts.
Antenna wires shall be constructed
and installed in a strong and durable
manner and shall be so located as
to prevent accidental contact with
light and power wires by sagging or
swinging. Many persons have been
killed through carelesyness on this
point.
The ground wire may be bare or
insulated and shall be of copper or
approved copper-clad steel. The
ground wire shall be run in as
straight line as possible to good
permanent ground. Preference shall
be given to water piping. Gas piping
shall not be used for grounding pro-
tective devices. Other permissible
grounds are grounded steel frames of
buildings or other grounded metallic
work in the building and artificial
grounds such as driven pipes, plates.
cones etc.
The ground wire shall be protected
against mechanical injury. An ap-
proved ground clamp shall be used
wherever the ground wire is connect
ed to pipes or piping.
Because of the number OF radio
sets now in operation, careful at
tertion to these important details
sholld be paid in order to avoid ac-
cidents of a preyentable nature.

Simple Home Remedy

There is nothing complicated in it's
use, neither does it interfere with any
medicine you may be taking.
The cold being in its first stages, all
that is necessary Is to apply Muco-
Solvent Salve in ca ch nostril with the
finger, then sniff it hard the nose and
head viii open INN ediately and great
relief will follow.
Muco-Solvent Salve is very pleasant
soothing and healing, containing as it
does oils of turpentine, eucalyptus,
menthol crystals, etc, in a base of re-
fined petroleum jelly. 1t is not greasy
nor will it stain the clothing
If the cold has reached the secon-
adary stage, but has not reached the
chest. it is still easily handled. Melt
a small quantity in a spoon or tin cup
and inhale the vapors that arise. These
vapors are very powerful Though
pleasant and will clear the head al
most instantly. Repeat three times at
fifteen minute intervals, meanwhile
applying salve in each nostril and
rubbing on throat and upper lip.
