What we commonly call the ear

which all hearing is done. OF this
receiver" the lobes form an essential
and necessary part, In Natures Won

Il very important purpose in keep

stretched Many waves of sound
would be lost to the real ear were 1t

but. as with the advance of civiIiza-
tion, man hHd to depend less and less
upon his sense Of hearing for ptotec-
tion against danger, the muscles con-
nccted with our lobes fell into disuse
and resulted in the lohes becoming
practically fixed part of our hearing

BOARD CONCLUDES.
TO ISSUE PASSES.
FOR SHORT TERM
Expired Passes Renewed,
But No New Ones to
Be Issued

The board of county commission
ers authorizes the issuance of passes
to those only whose licenses have re-
Gently expired, and issued only for a
single month. The cost will be pro-
portionate to the sums heretofore
paid, $125 for the zone month, and
the same conditions which were at
tached to the expired passes will be
continued with the new issue.
No passes for the short-term serv-
ice will be issued to new patrons at
any price, and no passes will be is
sued for longer period than one
month. The commissioners are con-
fident that before the month shall
have expired the new schedules will
be adopted and the new, plans put in
force; although at this time they give
no publicity as to their intentions.
The decision was reached yester-
day at an hour too late to make an
nouncement in The News. The great
part of yesterday was given over to
the hearing of complaints regarding
the adjustment of the pass system,
and listening to suggestions pertain
ing to any new plans which might be
adopted regarding an equalization of
the bridge tolls.

How Entire Town Was Moved.

Residents of Cedar Falls, a noun
tain town 40 miles from Puget
sound, were terrorized recently when
the entire place moved eleven feet to-
ward Cedar lake. Should the slide
continue it will mean the loss of all
property and the abandonment of the
town site.
1t hes been found that the clay
formation upon which the foundations
are erected lies in slanting rock
strata of extreme SmOOtlne>S. There
is really nothing but the weight Of
the clay subseil to keep it balanced.
! The winters deep frost and sup
posed earthquake shock may have
been the cause of the earthslip. AS
every section of the town moved ex-
actly the same direction and space
the only damage was a few broken
window lights.

WHY
Discharge of Oil Waste, Inro
Water Should Be Stopped

The ever-increaslng practice Of dis
charging Oil and tar wastes into
streams and harbors, and its effect on
fish and fish industries, is strikingly
set forth in pamphlet issued by the
bureau of fisheries The fatal contain
ination that results from poisonous
substances rejected By gas plants and
petroleum diStillerie9, or dumped from
tankers and 0ii-burning ships, must
result in huge losses of food prod
ucts and money First It should be
distinctly understood thar the presence
of minute quantity Of poison is sufti-
cient to kill. For example, the Ameri-
can sunfsh, though highly resistant to
pOisonS, will die in about an hour in
water four to five parts per million
Of phenanthene or naphthalene, or five
parts per million of hydrogen sulphide,
or seven parts per million of ammonia;
and, of course, very much weaker solu-
tons will kill il the fish are exposed
to them for several days.
Aside from this direct toxic effect,
such pollution repels the fish from APP
preaching shore at the only time wheh
they might be caught; sickens cS kills
bottom-dwelling species such as Oys-
tiers; kills, by suffocation, floating eggs
and delicate larvae; destroys minute
plants and animals on which the lar
vac and adult fish SubSist; affects
aquatic life by diminishing the aera-
ton Of the water, and destroys spawn
ing grounds. Even petroleum products
that contain no poisonous substance
soluble in water may, by agitation,
form a deadly emulsion that will kill
in five minutes. Tarred roads also send
their poisonous washingS into the
smaller streams. Remedial measures
may be found in the commercial re-
covery of oils from drainage water, in
the prevention of gashouse and REIN
cry pollution with an increased use
Of wastes, and in regulations forbid
ding the dumping Of oil from ships In
harborS or near spawning grounds and
feeding areas.-SCientitic American.

How Atmosphere Affects Stars.

Atmospheric changes have a very,
marked effect upon the twinkling of
the stars. For example, it is found to
increase as the temperature falls and
as the barometer rises. An experience
of nearly forty years says writer
in Conquest, showed NJ. Montigny that
with the quantity of moisture in the
air the twinkling of the stars increased
so markedly as to serve for useful
prognOstic Of rain. CyCloniC conditions
generally are found 10 promote is,
whilst it is extremely sensitive to mag
netic disturbances. humboldt on one
occasion in the tropics found that the
stars shone with mild and planetary
light, their scintiIlaton was scarcely
sensible at the horizon. THIS, it IL
apparent, was due tO>the great homo
genpity of the atmosphere, whereby
the extremely fine pencil of light from
the stars was not interfered with BY
uneQually dense strata.

VIM No RuIe for Sleep.

A London doctor who has given the
matter some extended investigation
has come to the conclusion that there
is no rule to be followed about hours
of sleep, and there is no reason, he
says why,a woman should have more
sleep than man.
One person gets as much benefit out
of a 'habitual five hours sound sleep
as many another derives from eight or
nine hours lighter slumber, for quality
of sleep is as important as quantity,
a point that is often overlooked.

HOW
ENGLISH ENGINEERS ARE

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 d. Watson,
chief engineer, have proved
successful, according to reports
transmitted through consular
channels. The sludge from the
sewage, after it has undergone
Il certain amount of sedimenta-
ton, is fed into a septic gas
producing tank, which is fur
nished with an air relief valve.
The sludge is not aerated be-
fore it is used. The gas thus
obtained contains about GO per
cent af methane or marsh gas,
and is of big, Calorific value. "
averages as much as '675 Brit
ish thermal units per cubic foot,
which compares vrey favorably
with coal gas with" 600 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 if necessary, to 6.000-
horsepower hours daily. The
gas produced at the plant is EN-
ployed in driving a 23-hOrSe-
power gas engine, which in
turn works centrifugal sludge
pump. The exhaust from the
engine is passed through pipes
traverSing the septic tank to
supply heat and hasten the
formation of gas. Samples of
gas taken for analysis in cold
weather had higher caiorific
value than those taken in warm
er weather, a fact which would
seem to Indicate that a warm
climate is not essential for gas
production.
