Walled Plains of the Moon

T HERE is nothing on earth to com so abundant on the moon. Our level land is usually near the sea or else water. Broad. gently sloping stretches are unknown upon the moon. AS far as we can know no water has ever existed there to form them. Astrono- mers seek in vain for evidences of even the smallest lake.
 Walled plains on the moon resemble geological features of the earth in their formation: but they carry the process much further.
 Imagine that we were on the moon millions of years ago while it was still an active globe. The hard crust we walk on is dark but bakingly hot Hundreds of fumaroles (holes from which smoke or gases issue) are in sieht about us, each blowing steam and acid like the mud valve of an en- rine. We must leap Assures at every few steps. The bottoms of the larger cracks grow duly red. revealing in- ternal fires not many rods below.
 Although there are steam vents around us, yet there is no air. The vapors come to the surface. explode themselves and vanish in hot nothing ness n few yards above their origin.
 Rocks are falling here and there: stinging dust pelts us in the face; far off beyond the horizon we see the va DOTS of some gigantic volcano. We see steam come billowing up: we watch a red glare on the lower side Of its clouds; we feel the pulse and jar of each mighty boom.
 Walking along, we leave the level surface and enter a region of ropy lava. Before us. thirty miles away, row of jagged crags project like teeth above the notched horizon. Struggling alons, over the gnarled beds. and keep inp to the smoother channels as much as possible, we at length arrive at the crest of the peaks before us and look over.
 Beneath us Is a lake of fire 200 miles wide. Great tossing rollers surge on it like stormy water in an earthly sea. The waves are made of molten rock: the pit Is a volcanic cauldron. Lavas from deep below well up, forced, to the surface by dynamic forces of tho moon. The tossing, red-hot sea reaches further than our eyes can see. It has horizon of fire. glowing fur mace over which blue and yellow flames are dancing. line where blaz- ing moon and night black sky appear to meet

Guarding the City's
 Shop Windows

GO MANY stores have been robbed 0 by having a stone thrown through the window that storekeepers have adopted . new way of protecting themselves. When you see a hand some plate-glass window of some fu- or Jewelry shop decorated with fine line of tinfoil close to the edge and put on in a pretty pattern. you may know that that window is "wired."
 The electric wires are at the top. and just touch the tinfoil. If stone is hurled through the window the tin fol is of course touched. or pulled cut of place. and the connection is at once broken. A bell immediately rings in the office of the protection com pany.
 If some one cuts the glass with glass cutter, he could not cut it all the way through. for after cutting it it must be struck from the inside to break 1t out. which one can't do un- less one is on the inside.
 In some stores you will see that fine wires run from side to side of the inside of the window. There is hardly store on Broadway today that is not wired from all four sides and from top to bottom.

 4. Music leaves will not be partly turned.
 5. Turning operation is performed in a small fraction of a second.
 The key to it's reliability is in the cutting away of small segments at the lower edge of music sheets. These re- moved segments have proved to be great help to the performer in secus- ing (with the hands) single leaf each lime when such music leaves gre used on the pipe organ or piano.

 When the container of explosives is unlatched from the floating mechanism of the mine it assumes. a reverse posi- tion in the water from that in which it is launched. thereby placing the fr- ing mechanism in condition to be oper- ated on contact of vessel with the mine or with the cable by which the mine is supended from the float or surface anchor
 A mine dropped from an aircraft be- ing submerged and drifting becomes a continuous menace until removed. On the other hand, if it is desired to limit the life of the mines this is accom- plished by setting the mechanism to cause them to sink after predeter- mined length of time. Mines Of this type can be planted more quickly than is possible by any other method and on short notice, and the cost of planting them is insignificant as compared with the danger and expense involved in sweeping them up and the time lost 10 vessels while thus detained.

Births Decline inU.S.; Death Rate Increases
PAGE t5

A DECLINE in the birth rate and an A increase in the death rate during the first nine months of 1922 were shown in provisional Census Bureau figures made public by the Department of Commerce.
 The mortality rate ranged from 7.3 in Idaho to 143 in Maine and averaged 1l.7 in the States from which statistics were taken for each 1000 of popula- tion in the period, as compared with an Ills average in the same period in 1921
 Births on the other hand ranged from 1S.3 per 1000 of population in the State of Washington to 30 in North Carolina, and averaged 22S in the first nine months of 1922, as compared with an average of 25 in the same period In 1921.

rachtue Is connected to a perforated hollow metal ring, this ring causes it to sink few moments after it has become detached from the mine. The mine drifts for time suspended from a float by cable which uncoils when the mine strikes the water, intricate mech anlsm being provided. for automatically separating the mine and the float from immediate engagement when the weap- on lands in the water. The parachute IS esential to prevent an explosion oc- curing when the mine strikes the water and to permit unlatching of the mlne from the float.
