Taking Movies Possible.

Though speaking films" were first
made about 1900, their combination
with picture films has just been sue
cessfully accomplished for the first
time, by two Swedish scientists, and
the talking movie seems about to be-
come Il reality. The method, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine, en-
ploys the fundamental method Of
earlier developments, which makes use
of the property of selenium for con-
trolling Il telephone current when ac-
tuated by variable illumination. The
novelty Of this latest work seems To
be IN the successful combining of
picture-bearing and sound-record-bear-
ing films by running them on the
same shaft, while taking and reproduc-
ing the double record and In making
selenium-controlled electric currents
operate loud-speaking telephone.

Why Gloves Were important

In 1888, when the earl of Shrews-
bury promised TO build an abbey Mt
Shrewsbury, he publicly laid his glove
upon the altar of the monastery church
in token of his sincerity. In 1874 the
queen of Navarro hesitated about go
ing on visit TO Paris, but decided to
20 when the king of France sent her
n pair of gloves. When she was swept
away by the events leading up to the
massacre of st. Bartholomew. it was
considered an net Of the blacklist
treachery, as gloves had been sent TO
reassure her. AS men became more
enlightened and learned to read and
write, signing ones name to promise
took the place of all this sort of thing
But there is one curious survival even
now. Not many annual fairs are held
nowadays, but when they are, ii Is no
unusual thing to see great glove
publicly exhibited. This is Il token that
the king has granted license for the
fair tn be held and So long as II lasts
the glove remains where everybody
can see it.--Christian Science Monitor.

SiIo-Filling Time viii BE Here

siIo-FiIIing Time win BE Here

Kentucky corn that is to be used
for silage will be ready for the silo
this year about the latter part OF
September or the first of october
depending upon the time when it
was planted, specialists at the Col
lege of Agriculture say. This meth
cd of storing green feed for winter
use attracts an added number of
farmers each year and indications
are that an increased acreage of
corn will be used for this purpose in
the state during the coming fall,
they say.
Corn should be cut for silage
when it is fairly mature, this condi-
ton in the dent varieties being
present when the kernels are dent
ed and the lower leaves of the stalk
broken, "Wayland Rhoads, men,
Der of the college animal husbandry
department explained. "The feed
value Of the corn increases as the
crop natures and for this reason
should not be cut too soon.
Thorough tramping of the chopped
corn as the silo is being filed is i'm
portant if the best grade of silage
is to result. Special care also should
be taken to see that corn in the
center of the pit is tramped as much
as that around the edges in order
to prevent uneven setting.
IF farmers wish to wait with
their silo filling until the crop is
more mature so that the cars can
be taken off, the slower that remains
can be successfully ensiled by add
ing an amount of water equal to the
weight of the slower as the filling
takes place. In this case enough
water should be placed on the stow
er so that some of it can be squeez-
ed out with the hand. Corn placed
in silo in a dry condition is more
apt to spoil than that which con-
tains plenty of moisture.
'On the college farm silage is
kept from spelling at the top of the
silo by wetting it thoroughly Just
after filling is completed and then
having one man tramp II for an
hour each day on seven consecutive
days.

SUN DUST IS A "RADl0 NET"
London Professor Evolves Novel The
ory Of the Atmospheric
Envelope.

Electrified dust thrown Off by the
sun forms an atmospheric envelope
about the earth about 100 miles which
prevents wireless waves from escaping
into infinite space. according to Prof.
j. A. Fleming, University college, Lon
don, whose work In wireless is known
all over the world.
The screen made by the dust. he
says. acts as a sort Of wireless speak
ing tube and enables waves used for
long-distance wOrk-which are about
ten miles in length-tO travel 5000 and
1900 miles.
If It were not for that screen, ac-
cording to the professors theory, the
wireless energy thrown out by the
big sending towers would not cling
to the earth, but would pass away
and be lost.

How Bio Is an EIeetron?

One very noteworthy experiment in
measuring an electron was performed
by an American. Professor Millikan of
Chicago. He introduced a minute drop
OF oil of about 1-10OO0th inch In diam
eter In chamber between two plates
whose electrical charge was subject to
control. The drop of oil was strongly
Illuminated and was viewed with a
telescope. BY controlling the poten-
tials of the plates the oil drop could
be made to fall or rise at will. The
drop continually picked up and lost
electrons. AS II picked up an electron It
would move toward the positive plate.
By carefully observing the action Of the
drop of oil. Millikan was able to deter
mine very accurately the chnrge added
TO II by its picking Up one electron.
