CAMERA TO RECORD WINNER
Method Of Timing Race 10 Declared
to Be Beyond All Possibility
Of Error.

The moving-picture camera is to be
put to new use; 1t is to time exactly
the runners in race.
When two competitors come In very
close together 1t is extremely difficult
for the umpire to say which was first,
and often two men are so near that
the result is declared dead-heat
In all cases probably one Of the men
Is fraction in front Of the other, but
the eye Is unable to note such minute
differences.
Now clock Is to be erected at the
winning post, and as the winners come
In they will be photographed with a
kinema- camera, which will time their
arrival to the hundredth part Of a Sec
ond. If the winner breaks the tape
only one eighth Of an inch In front
Of his nearest competitor the camera
win note the fact.
The camera will be focused stimuli
taneously on the clock at the winning
post and on mirror rejecting the
start Of the race. Both clock and
camera will be set working before the
starter fires his pistol, and the fash
Of the pistol will be reflected In the
mirror and recorded on the Aim with
the time Of the clock to hundredth
of Il second.
This time can then be subtracted
from the time of the finish, and the
exact time of the race for each man
arrived at.
There will now be very few dead
heats In running matches

cHINA's WALL is cRUMBtING
Wonderful Structure, Built 200 3. c.,
Believed, However, to Be Good
for Many Centuries.

Recent vieltors to the great wall Of
China. which is accessible at Nankow,
forty miles from Picking, describe 1t as
slowly crumbling, Many of the tur-
rets which command it's salient points
as the wall climbs over the mountain
tops are in ruins and tourists and ma
tives alike wrench the stone blocks
from the superstructure to throw into
the valleys below. Yet 1t is maintained
that the great structure, extending
from Shanhalkuan on the sea almost
to the borders Of Tibet, has many CEN
turtles to live, although no efforts are
made to preserve It.
Construction Of the wall was be-
gun 200 B. @. by Emperor Chih Hpang
II, contemporary Of Hannibal, who
conceived this barrier to keep out the
Tartars. At one time 100000 Grim
inals and prisoners Of war were en-
gagged In the work. The main part Of
the wall, however, was not undertaken
until the Seventh century, when, It Is
said. 100000 workers. were employed

WOODEN GAS MAINS LASTING
Pipes Laid In New York Town More
Than Seventy Years Ago Are
Still Sound.

When a gas system was installed In
Canandalgua more than seventy yenrs
ago there was laid In the main street
a slx-inch wooden trunk line 800 feet
long. In a survey Of the distribution
system made recently 1t was decided
that, since this wooden trunk line had
seen such long and faithful service, 1t
must be time to give 1t well-earned
rest.
But when n section of the pipe was
uncovered the engineers changed their
minds because there was disclosed q
remarkable illustration Of the durabll.
fly Of the old Fashioned gas main. Al.
though this wooden pipe had been ly.
ing submerged In water, II appeared to
be as sound as the day It was laid. A
hole was bored in II with an ordinary
carpenters bit. The inside of the log
was just as sound rs the outside. Its
thickness was found to be nearly two
and one-half inches, making the out
side diameter Of the log eleven inches
Chips from the boring showed there
had been no seepage through the fibef
and the wood was not lmpregnated
with gas Odor. There was only
thin film on the inside Of the pipe. oh.
crwise the wood was fresh and clean.
In laying this historic pipe line one
end Of the log was trimmed down for
few inches to about half It's original
thickness. and this was inserted into
the enlarged bore Of the next length,
then an iron band was drawn tightly
over the Joint The Iron band had not
survived MS well MS the wood. Several
Of the Joint bands were found TO have
rusted through and had TO be removed

While Harry was talking he was
rushing Alice into his car. As he
started the car down the street he
heard cry behind him. Looking
back he saw his three assailants, now
reinforced by two others OF Alice's
suitors, running toward him.
Harry shot on more juice and
smiled grimly.
TO Harry's surprise there was
light In the county clerks house when
they drew up In front Of 1t. A mo-
mentary wave of apprehension swept
over Harry as they started up the
path to the house.
Then, as the door was opened and
the county clerk smiled at them, the
apprehension gave way to feeling of
real fear. There was something wrong
here. For moment Harry felt like
turning around and hurrying away
with Alice. Then, telling himself he
was merely silly, he entered the house
with Alice hanging on his arm.
The county clerk pointed to the
parlor.
As Harry and Alice entered the
parlOr Harrys heart dropped like lead.
There, standing in front of them, with
smile on his lips, was the masked

Gripping Alice by the arm, Harry
turned to fly out of the room. But
the county clerk blocked the door.
He, too, was smiling.
For a moment there was silence.

clerk at last. "Rev. Mr. Jones, please
