where the men were holding the little
wire coil.
AS soon as these magnetic waves
from the ore body underground hit
the coil they generated electricity in
it, provided it was held at the correct
angle. The amount of electricity thus
generated in the coil was registered
on a voltmeter. When the prospec-
tors reached that point on the lake
where the voltmeter registered the
highest they knew that directly be-
meath them was the ore-bearing body
1t was not. of course, quite as
simple as it may sound. The pros
pectors had to have a thorough
knowledge of the geology of the ter
ritory they were exploring. and they
had to know how to interpret the re-
suits they got with their little wire
coil. Electrical prospecting is no
'divining rod" scheme for an easy
road to wealth. The mathematical
equations that have to be called into
play would drive an old desert rat to
the verge of suicide.
The method described here is not
the only one in use. There is the
Lundberg-Nathorst system, which
uses two bare wires laid in shallow
trench. Electricity is sent through
the ground from one long wire to the
other, and the course it takes indi-
Gates where the orebearing bodies
are. Minerals, such as copper. lead
and tin oxide, are easy for electricity
to pass through-much easier than
the surrounding earth. So if the
electrical currents wander out of a

Using New Colors.

To aid the color blind in distin-
gushing light signals at railroad
crossings, the Swedish state railways
have decided, after an exhaustive in
vestigation, to abolish the green light
in favor of bluish-w white and to adopt
d special shade of red which tests
have shown to be most easily recog-
nized by all automobile drivers. Fur
thermore, the lights installed at
crossings owned by the state will be
additionally differentiated by blinking
at different speeds when there is no
danger and when a train is approch-
ing, so that even if a person cannot
tell any color from another, he can
not fail to observe the frequency with
which the light fiickers.
The state railways eye specialist,
DR.. c. G. Bostrom, has conducted the
experiments and has found that be-
tween 5 and per cent of all males
are color blind, and that since prac-
tically every one in Sweden wants 10
drive a car it would be unjust to
deprive these men of the privilege,
as seriously proposed in the Riksdag.
At the same time many accidents
have been found to be due to the
inability of drivers TO tell the green
lights from the red. so that from
July / this year the new double pre-
caution will be adopted.
Another device to safeguard rail-
road crossings has been invented by
a Swedish engineer, A. Westfeldt.
and tests have been made at certain
crossings on the state lines. II con-
sists of a bar that swings out feet
above the ground whenever a train
approaches and a row of short chains
that strike any car trying to pass
under without injuring it. Being
placed about so feet from the cross
ing. the bar gives the driver warn
ing in time to stop before reaching
the tracks, but at all times It re-
mains high enough in the air TO
escape being crashed into. 1t is
operated automatically by the ap-
preaching trains and when danger is
over it swings back alongside the
roadway.

Mineral Beds, Even Under Water,
Revealed by Electrical Methods

Down through the ice, down through
80 feet of water, down. through 10
feet of mud, and then-down into a
vein of rich copper-bearing ore!
1t is not luck. 1t is because those
men with their coils of wire and their
gasoline engine have been able to
locate the copper with the aid OF
magnetism and higher mathematics,
even though the ore was hidden be-
meath the bottom of a frozen lake.
All this actually happened short
time ago. Using the Sundberg system,
which involves discovering and plot
ting magnetic disturbances given out
by hidden bodies of ore. Swedish min
ing engineers discovered a per cent
copper ore body beneath Lake Men
straesk, in the northern part of Swe-
den.
The gasoline engine furnished power
for little generator. which in turn
supplied electricity to the big loop OF
wire laid out on the ice. AS the alter
mating current ran back and forth
through this huge single loop, the in
visible magnetic field, which always
accompanies electrical currents, f1uc-
tuated first in one direction, then in
another, through the ice and the water
and the ground beneath. Whenever
it struck an ore-bearing body in its
rapid back-and-forth movements, it
aroused in that body a momentary
electrical current. This current, of
course, gave out it's own magnetic
fluctuations, which reached up from
the ground, through the water.

Pussy was delighted and would not
hear Of salary. She had a dozen
reasons why 1t was just what she
wanted most to do. but under them
all lay the warm glow Of being needed

ulted. "Oh, what good things are

mother warned her. You might call
me half-blind. That will sort of tie
you down."
"Well. 1 don't hear very well: you
might call me half-deaf." Pussy re-
turned with happy flippancy. THAT

insisted. But I'm making 1t my bust
ness to get ready for that. II won't
be much harder on YOU"
If ! go stone-deaf, I'll drown my

song about the owl and the pussy cat.
Mona and Betty demurred a little
at the idea of Pussy Meadows. but
| they were too rushed not to accept
any solution that satisfied mother.
They Were counting the days, yet
they ran home with a new eagerness.

evening came, something unknown
laid a cold hand on their spirits: they
began to mean IT so poignantly that
1t could not be said They cried at
goodnight.
Mother had no tears. She only
looked at them, looked and looked into
their faces as though she learned them
by heart. When they were asleep, she
stole in with a candle and stood look
ing down until they began to sigh and
stir.
II won't see them again, but that
doesn't mean / won't feel them and
have them" she scolded herself.

fuss"
Her last sight of them was blur of
waving hands and laughing, fearful
faces.

plored.

DUSSY was not to come until the
next day. Mother allowed herself

found her digging in the garden.

The busy weeks few past. Pussy
helped in the garden, In the house,
everywhere. and she looked like an
ideal sweetheart-any mans ideal
in the bloom of her growing hope.
Their two cases. seemed to keep a
mysterious balance-with every leap
forward for Pussy there was a leap
backward for mother. People were
soon only shapes to her, a face was
pale blur. She had to hurry with her
preparations, and became so deft at
managing that Pussy still did not
guess all her secret. The letters from
the girls came tumbling in, three or
four by every boat. loving. rapturous,
full of sights ard wonders. Her own
letters, typewriter, ran about like
this:

He was very thoughtful.
Il always did like a nice young
fellow" she explained the growing
anthem in her heart
TOWARD noon she left him and
went in to prepare lunch. Her
ear had placed him as older than a
boy, a gentleman, perhaps down and
out and needing a good meal. She
made her lunch of the things Law
renee had loved, hot mullins and
bacon and cool salad and her own
perfect coffee, and spread it on the
veranda, then called him, sending
him upstairs TO wash his hands.

tentedly.
Are you here alone?" There was
feeling, protest, in the question.
She told him about her dear girls
and the trip and the young neighbor
who was staying with her. Suddenly,
not knowing how it had happened, she
was telling him of her coming blind
ness.

He came and knelt beside her, let

found it wet with tears.
"I am no more worthy to be called

And yet they were not unsatisfac-

felt under the words-like the grip
of warm and steady hand.
1t was two months to day, a
soft, gray morning. and the world
was little more than light and
shadow. Pussy having gone to town,
mother allowed herself rather more
cane and fumbling than usual. There
were days when she felt a great
weariness, a longing to sit with
hands folded, like any blind woman.
1t had taken scolding to get herself
out into the garden, and even scold-
ing could not keep her trowel going.
She presently let it fall and felt her
way to the seat under the old maple,
sitting there with the lifted face of
the blind.

then something made her aware of

A husky little cough seemed to in
dicate a shy youth standing before
her on the lawn.
"Oh, are you the young man who
is coming TO help me?" She spoke
with new briskness.

mother decided to call it full day,
even though he had come SO late.
She sat within sound of him and her
dark mood passed. leaving new and
rich content. The sun, coming
through the grayness, seemed to
warm her to the soul.

y you remember the grlZzied
old prospector who was al.
ways wandering over the
IL mountains and through the
desert in search of rich min
ing country? His is a fast-vanishing
type, and close on his heels comes a
new kind Of ore hunter-one who is
strange contrast to- the familiar
traditional figure. With the help of
electricity and magnetism, he finds
mineral deposits before he or any
other living being has seen them.
The modern prospector carries a coil
of wire instead of a pick. He uses a
mathematically trained brain in place
of the searching eye that used to be
all focused to catch the CLINT of gold.
Instead of shaking a pan or breaking
bits OF rock. he straps telephone re-
ceivers to his ears and listens care
fully or notes the slight waverings Of
the hand of a voltmeter. He can work
in all seasons, on arid lands or in the
snow Indeed, he can even discover a
deposit of ore hidden beneath a lake
bed!
Electrical prospecting" is the gen
eraI term that is used to cover this
latest form OF treasure hunting. A
dispatch Just received from Sweden
tells of extensive work done there for
have been found in the northern part
of the country by the new methods,
known as the Lundberg- -Nathorst and
the Sundberg systems. Word has just
come from Germany, too, that a Leip-
zig firm intends to manufacture in
large quantities Hermann Jeastor's re-
Gently developed radio emanator," t"
which, the inventor declares, is SO SEN
sitive that it can detect minute explo-
sions occurring among the atoms that
make up the gold hiddon underground.
Some dramatic discoveries are cred
tied to the Swedish systems, under
conditions which make the achieve
ments sound almost like fairy stories
or the dreams of a Jules Verne.
Stretch your Imagination a bit and
picture this scene:
1t Is the dead Of Winter in northern
Sweden, where the days are only a
few hours long and the cold is continu-
ously intense. On frozen lake where
the ice is three feet thick we see a
small group of men. One of them is
holding a wooden frame, and inside
the frame is a small coil Of wire.
Around the group on the ice stretches
a huge circle of larger wire, about $50
feet in circumference. A little gaso-
line motor is kicking up clouds OF
steam nearby, and its put-put-put is
the only sound that breaks the frozen
silence.
The men move around from time to
time, and whenever they stop at q
new spot on the ice they hold the
wooden frame at a certain angle in
the air and carefully watch the antics
OF a voltmeter attached to the coil
within. They mark down certain fig
ures in a notebook and move on
again.
This goes on for several days. Then
the men disappear. taking their wire
and motor and other paraphernalia
with them, and the ice-covered lake is
once more deserted. For three months
nothing happens. But one day a crowd
of men, much bigger than the first
band, arrives. With them they have
a large drilling machine. They haul
it out on the ice to spot indicated
by one of the men of the first expedi-
tion and there begin to drill down
through the frozen sheet that covers
the lake. -.
