ALMOST AS SWIFT AS LIGHT
Tests Of Velocity Of Wireless Signals
In France Have Shown Some
Remarkable Facts.

Experiments of French scientists
to determine the velocity Of wireless
signals indicate that this velocity is
slightly lower than that of light. The
method adopted was to send out
signal from the Eiffel tower to sta
tion whose distance has been very
accurately ascertained. At the mo-
ment the signal reaches the second
station return signal is automati-
cally sent back. The time Of ennis
sion and reception is recorded by
means of a Photographic micro-gal-
vanometer in which the record is
made on moving band of sensitive
paper. Thus the time elapsing be-
tween two successive records will
measure very accurately the time
taken by the signal to travel the
double distance. AS result Of these
experiments the following figures
have been arrived at:
Paris to Toulon, .00237 second;
Paris to Washington, .0s122 sec
ond, with a possible error Of .000O1
second.
This indicates that the average
velocity Of the wireless signal is
about 100000 kilometers (185,000
miles) per second; that of light be-
ing about 1876, 900 miles per second.

CABBAGE LINING

If you are working outdoors and
wish to keep your head cool, place a
cabbage leaf under your hat, ply
stefan advises. This absorbs the heat
of the sun and prevents sunstroke.
The use of the cabbage leaf as hat
lining is an old trick in the Western
wheat fields. Farmers shock all day
