MACHINE MEASURES
HUMAN COMFORT.

A preliminary study OF the kata-
thermometer made by the Bureau OF
Mines, in connection with its metal
mine dust and ventilation investi-
cations. indicates that the fnstru-
ment will probably be useful for
making routine determinations Of
comfort conditions in mines, and
that IL may also prove an important
accessory for investNative work on
problems in ventilation and kindred
subjects in both coal and metal
mines, although the instrument
should probably be altered some
what for maximum utility under the
varied conditions in the mines OF
the United States. The katather-
mometer is an instrument contrived
by DR.. Leonard Hill. an eminent
English Psychologist. DR.. Hill, after
exhaustive experiments. concluded
that the rate OF coornE Of the
human body was the controlling
factor in determining comfort or
discomfort, and then set out TO
make an instrument that would
measure this rate Of cooling. The
resulting instrument-the kststher-
mometer-measures its own rate OF
cooling when its temperature ap-
proNimates that OF the human boiy
and thus serves as an index Of the
rate OF cooling OF the body itself.

Over $4,000 Raised In

canvass of the town. One member
of the committee who was out of
town Thursday got own to bust
ness promptly on his return by
subscribing $500. for himself and
wife and Immediately began work
for additional subscriptions.
Some of the smaller pledges of
500. to $500. represent as much
generosity and sacrifice on the
part of the givers as anv of the
, larger pledges but the Fund Com
mittee emphasize the fact that the
task which they have undertaken
is a great one and that subscript-
ions must be proportionatelY large
if the project is to be a success.
The object of the fund, briefly
stated, is first, to create an addi-
tional endowment, the income
from which is needed to raise the
standard of instructors at the
Academy; second, to improve the
present Academy buildings; third,
to erect, equip, and maintain a
gymnasium; fourth, to increase
and improve ampus and athletic
facilities so that al lstudents may
make use of the privileges.
This proposition is of great i'm
portance to all classes of people in
st. Johnsburv: first, because
larger and better Academy means
Il larger and better St. Johnsbury
and is therefore Of interest to all
of US.
Second, every parent who has a
boy or girl of school age will be
benefited educationally and fl
nancially by this proposed i'm
provement. If this fund is obtain
ed, the standard of st. Johnsbury
Academy will be second to none
in this country. Our boys and girls
will be fitted here for their future
work as we'll as they can be in any
secondary school in the United
States.
Third it will mean that st,
Johnsbury will be a great educa-
tional centre which will attract
students from the overcrowded
conditions Of the great cities. The
proposition is worth while in every
respect 1t is a splendid invest
ment. If St. Johnsbury people sup
port this movement heartily, the
outside alumni will respond gem
erously, but St. Johnsbury must
speak first, The committee have
estimated that this great fund can
be raised if approximately the
following pledges can be obtained
in St. JohnSbury.
Two more pledges of $1,000.
Five more pledges of 81 600.
Twenty more pledges of $1,000.
Forty more pledges of $500.
Forty more pledges of $500.
Fifty more pledges of $50.
Done hundred or more pledges
of 500.

remaining in that capacity about a
year, when he was transferred to
the Bureaus station at Leadville,
Colorado, as a skilled laborer.
From there, ne was promoted to
fish culturist at Baker Lake,
Washington, station in which ca
pacity he remained about years
when he was appointed superin-
tendent of the Washington stations
in July, 1903. In 1907, Mr.. O'Mal-
ley was given charge of the Bur

watershed, where he remained until
December, 1913, when he was
placed in charge of the Bureaus
fiSh-cultural work on the Pacific
coast with headquarters at Seattle.
In July, 1916, Mr.. O'Malley was
brought to Washington, d. c., and
made chief of the division OF fish
culture, remaining in that position
until July 1, 1913, when he was
placed in charge of all the Bureaus
II,
which position he now holds.
In 1905, Mr. O'Malley discovered
a salt-solution process for separa-
ting dead fish eggs from the live
ones thereby eliminating the neceS-
Sity of employing many persons to
remove the dead eggs by hand, and
saving the government large sums
of money each gear. In 1916, he
was elected President of the Paci-
fic Coast Fisheries Society and in
1918 of the American Fisheries So
ciety At the time of his assuming
his duties at the hatcheries in the
Columbia watershed the salmon
runs in the Columbia River were
on the decline. 1t had been the
practice of liberate the salmon fry
when the yolk sac was absorbed
but, through Mr. O'Malley's efforts
this method was changed and the
feeding of young salmon on an ex-
tenSive scale was begun The wis
dom of this change has been prov
en- by the greatly improved runs of
salmon in that locality in recent
years.
For the past three years, Mr.
O'Malley has spent the entire
fishing season in Alaska, making,
in conjunction with Dr.. Charles
H. Gilbert, of Stanford Univer-
sity, comprehensive Investigations
of the fisheries of Alaska, the re-
ports Of which were published by
the Bureau Of Fisheries of 1919
and 1920.
Mr.. O'Malley has always been
a member Of civic organizations
in the various communities in
which he has lived.
