PUBLIC SCALE URGED
FOR USE IN MARKETS
Would Enable shoppers to Check
Weight of Articles They
Have Purchased.

A plan to place a public scale in
each market. where shoppers could
verify the weight of foodstuffs pur-
chased when they are in doubt. is
being considered by George NJ. Rob
erts. superintendent of weights and
mea sures.
The suggestion was put forward by
L. A. Schimpf of PIP G street in d
letter to The Star.
Supt. Roberts said he was favora-
bly, inclined toward the proposal and
that he had given 1t some thought
in the past. Mr.. Roberts said he
will have to find out whether he has
funds in his appropriation with which
to buy the scales. II they can be
bought he believes they should be
placed in the Offices Of the market
masters.
Mr.. Schimpf pointed out in his let
ter that il each market had a public
scale, frequently inspected by the
city authorities, it would enable per
sons who are doubtful of the weight
of articles they have purchased to
check up on the public scale, and re-
port any discrepancy to the market
master.

AERATED CONCRETE
FOR HOUSES SHOWN
New Type of Material Lighter
Than Old and Much Cheaper,
Builders Declare.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 15.-An aerated
dwelling, said to be much cheaper in
cost than either wooden or brick
houses, has been erected at the Brit
ish Empire exhibition which opened
May 9, and attracted much attention
ahong scientists and housing experts
interested in solving the building
shortage in England.
The process was developed in Swe-
dent, where it has been used in apart
ment houses. The peculiar quality of
this aerated concrete is that it ex-
pands and then sets hard. It is fire
proof, resists noise and, 1t is contended
by the inventor, strengthens with age.
A chemical process takes place
when cement and coal Stag are mixed
with certain substances of a mineral
character, and the hydrogen creates
little bubbles in the mixture which
swells up like yeast in bread until it
resembles cork. Then it begins to
harden. II is possible to produce in
this way a concrete SO light that a
cubic ooft weighs but 20 pounds, as
compared with 130 pounds for an or
binary concrete block. It floats on
water, like wood, and can be made
practically impervioua to dampneaa,

LONDON, June 10.-Scarcely sec

ter and Summer, when there are not
at least 100 lightning flashes some
where in the world, according to the
recently issued Blue Book of the me-
neurological office Of the British gov

During the year, says the book, the
world experiences 100000 thunoer
storms, or an average of $4,000 a day.
The amount of energy released by
these flashes Is too stupendous for the
human mind to grasp. the book points
out. 1t is suggested by the meteor
ologists that the water power OF the
earth, which has already been har-
messed, be used as q measure. F1gur-
ing on that basis, it Is estimated that
double that amount is represented by
one fash of lightning. consequently In
any given second there Is released
from the clouds more energy than the
worlds water power stations yield in
