Coast Guard Measures
Amount of Salt in Sea

When the United States Coast guard
cutters are on Ice patrol duty they
take periodic measurements Of the
saltiness of the sea water is deter
mine the shifts Of the sea currents
and the approach Of icebergs. The
saltier the water, the more readily Il
will conduct electricity. The water
near a melting iceberg or foe Is al
ways less salty than that farther
away, for the Ice Is fresh and as It
melts, dllutes the salt water surround
ing 1t.
A new device has recently been de-
veloped by the bureau Of standards
whereby the electrical conductivlty Of
water Is measured and indicated In
terms of saltiness. This new applica-
ton Of electricity to the safety Of
those at sea Is expected to be Of great
value in giving definite warnings Of
the proximity Of icebergs and avert
Ing accidents like that which caused
the loss Of the Titanic.

Paper Film Inuented

A recent British invention, which
may completely revolutionlze the film
industry, enables paper films to be pro-
jected on the screen by means Of re-
Election from light placed In front of
the reels, not behind them. as at pres
ent. These new paper films are said
to possess many advantages over the
ordinary cellulOid kind. They are non
inflammable, they do not crack or
tear, and last considerably longer
than celluloid. They can also be made
very cheaply, and may be sent
through the mails In ordinary paper
wrappers.

Had No Weather

The first result Of mans study OF
the weather was apparently to run
away from 1t. Sir Napier Shaw, the
English authority on meteorology,
points out that the first civilization
of which we have much record, that
Of Egypt, existed where there was
really no weather. This civilization
may have been the result, he says, Of
a migration of all the bright individu-
ais or races from other parts of the
world, who fed their inclement native
climes and settled in Egypt. A SINH
lar movement seemed to be in prog
ress at the present day.
