Ivory carving is becoming a lost art
among the Eskimos of Alaska and the

Get New Equipment
Laboratory Gets A New Testing
Machine

In spite of business conditions
several important new instruments
were added to our equipment. The
chemist has a boot testing machine
and the Waste Reduction Department
a new spring scale and a planimeter.
The testing machine is an ALLAN
bertvile product. "Bilr' Crowley,
our factory superintendent, is the
designer, and George Green built the
machine itself. 1t has been in the
course of construction for about a
month and was delivered to make
its first tests Wednesday afternoon.
1t is just twice as good as a man
for it wears out four boots instead
of one. The boots are held firmly
in place on metal base with their
tops on the ends of cut down lasts.
These are raised and lowered in a
circular motion breaking the vamp
and ankle sharply as man does in
walking. The cadence is remiscent
of army days, 1-20 to the minute.
The Waste Reduction Department
got "a new pair of spring scales
from the Chatillon Co., of New York.
They were especially constructed and
have dial which records weight in
tenths of a pound instead of ounces.
The other new apparatus was a
planimeter. This was the product
of Keuffel & Esser, of New York.
1t is a device which measures areas
in square inshes by simply tracing
around their edges with a metal
point. 1t is extensively used in
figuring percentages and costs.

to express some tender feeling,
carefully crocheted beautiful pair
of baby blue garters, equipt them
with the finest neverslip elastic and
then buried them in the top of a
basket of scrap where sooner or later
ter she knew the New Highlander
would find them.
Her efforts were crowned with
success yesterday afternoon when a
cleanup of the shed across the alley

supporters and, when sen by your re-
porter, was about to make canvass
of the factory to Sc if he could dis
cover any clue as to their donor.
AS yet he has had no success.

REARING Fur-eearino Animals.

important progress has been made
In Investigations pertaining to the
rearing of wild fur-bearing animals in
captivity. Fur farms are reported
from 20 states where foxes, skunks,
raccoons. minks, opossums, martens,
muskrats, squirrels and beavers are
reared. II is estimated that so ranch
ers are rearing silver foxes in the
United Safes, that they have between
$1,000 and 1900 foxes in captivity,
and that the value Of the investment
Is about $S,000,000. The discovery Of
the fact that martens breed the last of
July and In August has solved the
problem which has heretofore pre-
vented the successful rearing of these
animals In captivity and has opened
up an important field to the fur
farmer.

Sound Vibration and HEARING.

1t is said that certain experiments
have shown that vibration of sound
having an amplitude of less than one
twelve-mllllonth of eentimeter could
still affect the sense of hearing. Such
vibration would be so short that
1t would have to be enlarged 100
times before the most powerful mi
croscope could render 1t visible, sup
posing that 1t were capable OF being
seen at all. Old persons, II is said,
do not hear high notes which are
audible to young persons and there
is reason to believe that babies hear
notes that are inaudihle to their
elders
