TESTING STRESS ON PLANES
"Aceelerometer" Registers Informal
ton Of Value to Builder, as Well
as Showing Pilots Ability.

Not long ago the national advisory
committee for ~aeronautics undertook
TO obtain information about the
stresses that are produced In ma
%neuvering an airplane. At the\begin-
ming of a series Of experiments it was
observed that, when the plane was
flying a straight and level course, a
spring balance with a one-pound
weight attached to it would register
Just one pound. If the craft was put
into a turn or made to rise, the ap-
parent weight of the one-pound object
increased to two or three pounds.
while or a downward dip the spring
balance would indicate less than one
pound or even zero. Based upon the
conclusions of these tests. an instru-
ment, which has been called an FAC
,celerometer," was designed, to detect
and record the variation and relative
magnitude of the forces that tend to
set up stresses In an airplane struc-
ture when in flight. In doing this,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine, 1t
also gives an unbiased record of the
relative ability of pilots in handling
their machines in the air, and in max
ing a satisfactory landing.

ADDED TO VALUE OF RkDiO
Concerts Practically as "CIear
as a Crystal"

Radio has brought new life to the
worn out phrase clear as a crystal"
In the early days of the radiophone it
was difficult to get a tube set which
3unctioned without annoying the listes-
er with scratches and sandy noises.
This difficulty has partly vanished, due
to better design or receivers and more
tuning knowledge on the part of the
radio public. Perhaps the first person
who heard a tlawless radio concert
rushed out Immediately afterward to
broadcast the information to his
friends. If SC he probably described
the reception by saying that it was as
clear as a crystal"
He referred to the old meaning of
the phrase, which likens the object,
compared to the perfect lucldity of a
s~oothsayer's glass ball or crystal. Many
amateurs have used the phrase In its
old meaning, and it is only lately that
the W application has been under
stood. In a reflex receiver. where
cuu tubes are used in connection
with the galena detector. the reception
is remarkably distinct and free from
annoying tube noises. The galena de-
tector is responsible of course, and
when a radio enthusiast says his re-
fex receiver is, as clear as q crystal"
he means it.-New York Times.

PLANTS THAT ARE POISONOUS
Many Of Those In Common Use Are
capeble OF Producing Mild Irrita-
tlon Of the Skin.

Although poison Ivy is n OF the
worst offenders, it frequently is blamed
for poisoning caused by other plants,
says Or. w. w. Stockberger Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The department has a list of
more than 100 such plants that grow
in this country, and it is probable that
there are others that may be poisonous
to soma persons. Not all of these
plants r equally poisonous, and, too,
there Is great variation In the ~suscepti-
bility Of persons.
Because some of these common
plants are used for ornament In the
home is no reason to fear them, as
most persons are not affected by them
and In the great majority of cases the
irritation of the skin is mild. This
would probably hold true Of such
dill and many others that are known
to cause skin poisoning. Such plants,
though. as the nettles are irritating to
most persons.
In the long list of plants having
these toxic properties are the follow
ing, which are well known, but not all
of them generally known to be poison
Gus: Aconite, ailanthus, asparagus,
catalpa, dog fennel. lady's slipper,
wild carrot. hop, lobelia, oleander,
nightshade, oxeye daisy, parsnip, poke
weed, smartweed, primula, b~uttercup,
poison elder or poison dogwood, blood
root, mullen, cocklebur and the MUS
tards. The pollen of the Easter lily
has been known to cause irritation of
the skin, but this is probably as rare
as poisoning by leaves of the geranium
OF the carrot. Some of these plants
are poisonous when taken internally,
but the list has been made out on the
basis of being irritating to the skin.

KIM Iut,a Discoveries.

!, MI. Howard Carter, the American
archaeological expert, who recently
uncovered for the late Lord Carnarvon
the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen in the Val
ley of the Kings, is no amateur, but a
graduate of the school of experience.
In 1903 he was inspector general OF
the antiquities Of upper Egypt and
was entrusted by Mr.. Theodore Da-
vles, a wealthy patron of archaeology.
with the direction of some excavations
that disclosed the tomb Of Thutmose
III. In the same year the tomb of
Queen Hatshepsut was cleared out by
him on a Davies endowment. Under
\ Davies commission, Mr.. Carter dis
covered the last resting place Of Queen
tt, mother of King Akhnaton, prede-
cessor Of Tut-Ankh-Amen. He gave
up his government post in 1904 to
prosecute his recent search.
