Wireless Signals.

EXPERIMENTS OF French scfentts,s
to determines the velocity OF
wireless signals indicate that this We
locity is slightly lower than that or
light. The method adopted was to
send out a signal from the Eiffel
Tower to a station whose distance
has been very accurately ascertained.
At the moment the signal reaches the
second station q. return signal is ar-
tomatically sent back. The time of
emission and reception is recorded by
means OF a Photographic micro gal
vaomster in which the record is
made on a 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 seconds;
Paris to Washington. .02122 seconds,
with q possible error of .00001 Sec4
onds
This indicates that the average veloc-
ity OF the wireless signal Id about $685.

the other day. Perhaps
a million Of the visitors to the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History last
year are similarly ignorant and would
like to be informed, so DR.. E. o.
Hovey of the museums department
of geology was questioned. and he
said: Look at the series of full
gurites which has been placed on
exhibition in the hall of general
geology and meteorites on the ground
floor of the museum, beyond the
north Pacific hall" The specimens
are from widely scattered parts of
the earth and they represent the
fulgurites formed in the rocks of
Mount Ararat, as we'll as those made
in the loose sands OF Illinois, Michi-
gan and the Desert of Sahara.
But what is fulgurite? 1t is glass
which often is produced when light
ming strikes mass of rock or a. bed
of dry sand and melts the material
along its path. 1t is an effect Of the
most powerful electric furnace known
to man. F>ulgurite is not properly
mineral, or yet single kind Of rock,
but it is a true glass. similar to the
volcanic glass Familiarity known to
all as obsidian. The fulgurite glass
Is made by the melting of the bed
through which the lightning has
passed, and 1t marks the path fol-
lowed by the electric current. When
in sand the fulgurite is composed
mostly of the fused mineral quartz
or quartz and feldspar. but when in
or on rock it has a chemical or min
eralogical composition which varies
with the kind of rock that has been
struck, whether that may have been
the granite gneiss OF the Adiron-
dacks. or the granite rocks of the
Eavada mountains, the Alps and the
Pyrenees or the old lavas of Wyo-
ming and Mount Ararat Of Biblical
fame.
We usually find this lightning
formed glass in the shape of more or
less irregular tubes. The tube may
be only q small fraction OF an inch
in diameter, but larger ones are more
common, and some even two and one
half inches ACROSS have been found
Usually they are only q few inches in
length. but in a European museum

irreguiarly circular in their inner
