large enough so that they can be
studied by the human eye or under
slight magnification. Often the speci-
mems are dark-colored-. By means
of a CURIOUS blow-pipe arrangement,
the artist sprays them with a chemi-
cal solution which whitens their sur
faces so that even the most delicate
lines and marks may be closely OBJ
served.
1t takes about seven hours of
painstaking work for Miss Sumner
to study and draw one of the most
complicated of the specimens. An
nually, however, she reproduces on
paper the pictures of approximately
1000 of the large and small fossils.
About 10000 remarkable scientific
drawings are visible records of her
faithful service in Uncle Sans en-
ploy. These pictures are reproduc-
tions of the fossils of leaves and
ferns and shells.
There is a certain kind of in
surance which our famous national
relative who owns all the buildings
up on Capitol Hill would like to take
out-insurance that will guarantee
that he can secure another talented
artist like Miss Sumner in case she
should decide to leave the government
service and embark in commercial
work For it would be bout as easy,
offhand, to stroll along the street and
find another kohinoor diamond as to
secure satisfactory substitute for
Miss Summer.

Power From the Tide.

FRoM time to time one hears Of the
= proposed establishment of power
plants based on the use of the tides
to compress air. Some years ago
there was inaugurated such scheme
at a place in Maine, where there ex-
lists a natural tidal basin covering an
area of about one square mile. The
average rise and fall of the tide is
twelve feet. 1t has been calculated
by the engineers in charge of SINH
lar. project that 5000 horsepower can
be developed, assuming an efficiency
of 20 per cent for the air-compress-
ing apparatus. It has been shown
that compressed air can be transmit
ted long distances through pipes with
very little loss of power, and it is
proposed to supply such air to stone
ouarries situated within a radius Of
20 miles from the tidal basin at the
place last mentioned. 1t is pointed
out that many similar tidal basins
exist elsewhere along the seacoast.

pendable indicators Of the presence
of coal in the adjoining strata.
After the scientists study the speci-
mems they send them to Miss Sumner
with accompanying technical descrip-
tions. Then begins an art studio
game of hide and seek. Miss Sumner
mounts the specimens on special
glass slides if they are small and
studies them carefully under her
binocular microscope. There is
special micrometer on the microscope
which permits of her measuring the
magnified specimens She uses these
measurements in making the draw
ing. She uses reflected light and
her studies of each specimen. She
shifts the slide back and forth and
around in every possible position.
For several hours, the artist studies
each specimen before she puts pen
Gil to paper. Then she begins to
draw, sketches for a minute or so and
then again peers through the micro
scope. Thus, bit by bit, she draws
the scientific pictures of the ancient
fossils, marine creatures, shells and
whatnot.

which Miss Sumner studies and draws
are microscopic, while the others are

ordinary mine telephone equipments
such breaks Immediately block off
communication. Fires, falls of roof

other underground disasters to which
every mine is constantly exposed did
not cut off line-radio communication.
These handicaps. the research shows,

tween entombed miners and the

mounting q radio transmitting set on
a mine locomotive and sending mes
sages to the surface from the subter-
ranean parts of the coal mine. The
equipment worked admirably as long
as it was operated in proximity to
metallic conductors which aided the
experimentation. When such con-
ductors were present, the efficient
range of the transmitting outfit COW
cred an area of several thousand
feet. On the other hand, when means
of metallic conduction were not at

was curtailed to a. point where its
maximum distribution did not cover

For more than a half century the
science of paleontology has been i'm
portant on our national calendar Of
achievement and research. During
three decades or longer science tried
to master the art Of describing the
fossil shells in appropriate word pic
lures, so that the average mining eX
pert or oil driller would recognize
them. Science failed. Then photo
graphy was geared to the task. An
other failure was chalked up. Final
ly, Miss Sumner enrolled on the gov
ernment roster. Her work has pro-
duced the picture messages which sci
enCe had long tried to send TO the
men in the mines and oil fields.
As cores of earth are disgorSed at
the surface or specimens of rock
strata are brought up for study. the
scientific experts of the various min
ing and oil companies, using Miss
Summers fossil pictures as guides.
can now determine the availability of
different areas for commercial devel-
opment and exploitation.
The Sumner pictures yearly prevent
oil companies, quarryfng enterprises
and coal mining concerns from spend
ing millions of dollars in the develop
ment of barren lands. No pictures III
the world play n more important part
in industry than these fossil repre-
sentations. They are the steering
marks of industry, which pathfnd the
way for modern enterprises through
the dangerous rocks. reefs and shoals.

Gated
In the entire world from the hot
sands Of the Sahara to the steppes of
Russia, from the gay boulevards of
Paris to the junglelands of the Kon-
go. there are but half dozen artists
qualified to do the excellent and ac-
curate scientific drawing which Miss
Sumner regularly does.
Just consider for a moment the in
defatigable work associated with
drawing something which you cannot
see with your naked eye. SpeckS of
dust, the largest of which are smaller
than the finest pin point: diminutive
particles which fail the vision of your
eyes or mine--these are the subject
matter for Americas most talented
scientific artist.

TT is a record leap from an ambi-
= ton to specialize in design work
to the complicated business of draw
ing pictures OF invisible fossils, but
that is the remarkable jump which
Miss Sumner negotiated successfully.

come to understand the importance
of the strata survey work which
Uncle Sans geologists perform. Now
that they have shaken hands with
science and become familiar with
the outstanding detective work which
the national Investigators do. they
are clamorng for every scrap of
material and printed aids which will
assist them. The pictures which Miss
Sumner draws and which subse-
quently are photographed and used
to illustrate the professional publi-
cations which the Geological Survey
distributes are the priced hired men
of this modern industry.
State and national Geologists- in all
parts of the country daily study the
pictures which Miss Sumner draws.

Ultimately, with great misEivings as
to her ability to make a 60 of scien-
tifc artistry, with which she was
totally unfamiliar, Miss Sumner ac-
cepted temporary position with the
government. Her versatility in art
work is evidenced by the fact that
shortly after mastering the intrica-
cies OF microscope manipulation and
adjusting her perspective so that she
could reproduce faithfully on paper
what she saw under the high
powered magnifier she made an out
standing success Of her novel adopted
profession.
Miss Sumner has now become such
a skillful expert and authority on the
interesting work which she performs
that Uncle Sam, by special arrange
ment, allows her to do research and
survey work for the most important
oil companies and other industrial
agencies. She spends one month of
each year in this way. She has as
sisted the Standard Oil Company on
many occasions.
Latterly. she has drawn pictures of
fossil specimens from Venezuela in
| order that the oil experts, by q sur
vey of the fossil material. might
determine the presence and avail
| ability of oil deposits in that latitude.
! During the current summer Miss
| Sumner will devote one month of her
| time to assisting the National
Museum Of Honolulu of fossil in
vestigations.
These fossils are the stepping
stones and Identification sign posts OF
| the oil, coal and quarrying industries.
1t has only been during recent years
that these commercial agencies have
