fNEW ELECTRIC DEVICE
DISCOVERS ISEBERCS

An electrical instrument has been
devised for use aboard ship to
detect the approach of icebergs.
1t is known as the radio.micro-
meter. The waves of radiant energy
given off by the icebergs bring this
instrument in action. Heretofore
the presence Of icebergs in steam
ship. lanes has largely been de-
tected by taking the temperature
of the water which was far from
accurate because ofsocean currents
and winds.
The radio-micrometer is free Of
these disturbances and is so deli
cate that it registers the effect of
the radiation from steamship fun
nels six miles distant.

STORK GETS JUMP OVER DEATH HERE
New Britain Proves Exception to
 Other State Cities
BY GEORGE H. MANNING.

I l Washington Bureau of N. B. Herald Washington, D. C., May 21.-With a higher birth rate and lower death rate last year than in 1922, New Brit ain was an exception to the general trend of population statistics shown Tn IConnecticut and the United States. The birth rate last year, according to figures just compiled by the census bureau and made public by the com- merce department, was 25.4 per l,0Oo population, as compared with 25.S per 1 ,000 in 1922. The death rate was S.7 in 1928, against 90 in the year preceding; and the infant mortality rate was 7s deaths of infants under one year of agesfor every 1000 births against go fin 1922.
 New Britain had, then, a higher birth rate and a lower death rate than the average for either the cities orethe rural districts of Connecticut; but along with the higher birth rate went also q slightly higher infant mortality rate.
 Of the other cities of the state, Hartford had 1923 birth rate of 25.4, against 27.3 in 1922; and a death rate of 13.1, against 14.0, with an infant mortality rate of 70, against Ss m 1922. New Havens birth rate was 229, against 2S.2 in the preceding year, death rate 12.G, against 13.3, and infant mortality rate "A. against 75. Bridgeport's rate of births was 22.S, against 23.S in 1922, deaths 11.4, against Ill, and infant mortality so, against 64.
 Figures for other cities for 1923 were: Ansonia, births 1S.3 and deaths, 9.5: Bristol, births 23.9 and deaths, 1O.4; Derby. births S6.3 and deaths 16.6; Naugatuck, births 11.5 and deaths 7.3; New London. births 27.9 and deaths 15.0; Waterbury, births, 22.S, and deaths 11,f.
 For the state of Connecticut, the birth rate last year was 90.s per 1000, as compared with a1.5 in 1922. This was in line with the general tendency shown throughout the country, 21 of the 27 states for which statistics are available having reported decreased birth rates,
 I llt hHalu IdlfS sHoNtu 1O EDHuEb, having been 12.0 per 1000 in both 1928 and 1922. Two other states, New York and North Carolina, also had the same death rates last year as in 1929; and % of the 36 states re- porting had higher death rates.
 Infant mortality also showed no change, deaths of infants under one year of age having occurred at the rate of 77 per 1000 births in both years. This rate increased in IT Of 27 states.
 The cities Of Connecticut, as was generally the case throughout the country, made a better showing than tho rural districts. The average birth rate for the cities of the state last year was 22.S per 1000, against 15.9 in the country. Both rates decreased inc averages for 1922 having been, re- spectNelN 23.1 and 1G.6. The death rate in the cities was 12.o, the same as in the preceding year, while the average for the. rural sections was 12,f against l2.2 in 1922. Infant mortal ;ty however, was lower in the rural districts--a quito exceptional occur rence-being 76 against 77 in the cities. The rate was the same, 77, for both cities and country in 1929.
