James Ritchie of New York hos re- solved this apparently .paradoxical de- mand into its components by produc- ing rake in which the teeth are h two rows. Those of either TOW are twice as far apart as custom has here- tofore dictated; but-those of the two rows are staggered. each into the spaces between the others. 30 that for the rake as . whole the teeth are spaced lateralIy just as before, It is claimed that this increased epacing. staggered arrangement, and the new bell shape made possible for the wider set teeth, contribute to making it out of the question for clogging to occur.

Flows
 Up From the Earth

THE electric and magnetic condition l Of the earth is yet somewhat of mystery, according to a paragraph In Popular Mechanics. All of the con ditiops found and things happening have not been accounted for, and the data obtained are often conflicting. One matter which is now puzzling in- vestigators is the amount and charac- ter of the electric current flowing across the surface of the earth. It is possible to determine the current pass ing across an area of any character by determining the total magnetic force acting around the boundary. The sci entific investigating ship, the Carnegie, of the Carnegie Institute of Washing ton, has cruised over large portion of the seas, and the data obtained per- init the magnetic force around several loops or paths to be compused; and the resulting electrical curreNtS flowing from the surface of the eartl can be determined.
 The results found for the Nor>h At lantic Ocean indicate positive cur rent of electricity streaminy up yard from the surface of the sea havil g a strength of about one-twenti eth of an ampere per square kilometre. This .e suit compares favorably with those oS- tained from a path taken about Il e United states. which Is around lano, where . current of positive electricity was found to be flowing upward Of about one -thrtieth of an amrere per square kilometre.

Is There a Terra Firma?

This theory has given such a store of information about the earth that some geologists saw in 1t the possibility of solving all our difficulties; so much SO that the American Geological Society called a discussion of all the existing information on the subject at their 1921 meeting at Amherst. so as to place matters on 6 solid foundation.
 In 1s52 Archdeacon Pratt carried out some interesting experiments with a plumbline near the Himalayas. He found that the plumbline was def1ected from the vertical, but not SO much as would be mathematically required by the attraction of body equal in mass to the Himalayas. He expressed the view that the high mountains acted as if there were a void beneath them. Major Dutton of the United States Army, on similar evidence. advocated the theory that there is a stage of equilibrium or equal pressure in the earth's crust. and gave to this condi- ton of equal balance the name isos- tasy. In other words, he considered the earth's crust as a body floating on some subterranean zone in which the value of gravity was always the same. As a result of further investigation by sasutnam, Hayford and Bowie of the United States Coast and Geodetic Sur <,vey, this depth was calculated at seventy-six miles.
 Shortly before the war the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey con- ducted a detailed precision survey across the continent, following the same line of latitude where possible, and from the Canadian border to Mexico. As result of this survey. which was carried out with elaborate detail, steel rods being used for measuring, with microscopic determinations at their functions, it was found that the whole United States departed less than one- tenth from perfect isostasy or balance In other words, every elevated area consists of lighter material balanced by a depression of heavier material.
 The importance of the theory of isos- tasy is now generally recognized. It furnishes us with an idea of the move ment of suhterranean lava and the de- gree of stability of any locality. With more precise work and further infor- nation we should in another few years be able to predict pretty acurately future earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and lava fows. The World War has prevented the execution in other coun- tries of the precision survey carried out by the United States Coast and Geo. detic Survey as part of an international agreement, but the valuable work turned out by American scientists must be . constant incentive to the accumu- iation of similar information abroad.

death this morning that at any
time Of her four-day starvation in
her coy little apartment in the
Holland, 1926 Vernon street north
west.
During the early hours of this
morning her condition grew stead
lily worse, probably because her con-
etitution had been so weakened by
the paralysis that left her a pris-
oner in her own apartment. Her
pulse has grown steadily weaker
and her stomach has fallen down
badly on the job Of digesting the
delicate foods that her physicians
have prescribed for her.
She is still unable to speak CO.
herently. Now and then a muuble
emenates from between her parched
lips but not even her closest
friends have been able to under
stand her. Fighting with that
same indominitable spirit that en-
abled her to live on through four
days of starvation and paralysis
when it seemed that no one would
learn of her predicament in time

clans have been put on the case.
