Court May Install
Amplifier to Call
Prisoners to Bar

"John Smith. come up here and
get your 60 days"' may be the
next message to go over the wire,
il the plans of officials of the Po-
lice Court are carried out.
A system is planned to eliminate
continual yelling down to the mar
shall in the cell rooms for prisoners
to be brought into court for trial
and the pushing of ones way
around the crowded quarters may
be installed in the near future.
This plan, il adopted, will be In
the nature of an amplifier that will
allow the bailiff to announce softly
over wire, so as not to disturb
the court, and yet loud enough to
be heard at the other end. In
reality the mechanism will be In
the nature Of a telephone with a
loud speaker at the end of 1t. The
cost is said to be very inexpensive,
and the upkeep only the matter or
running a 6-volt battery.
The plan is now to install one
from the upper courtroom to the
lower cellroom, and If found ex-
pedient, the lines may be extended
to other rooms.

HYDROGEN Turned
!. TO HEL|UM IN TEST
Metal Palladium Used by
German Scientist as Trans
forming Agent.

By Science Service
BERLIN, December 2.-The meta
palladium was the agent that effected
the transmutation of hydrogen into
helfum in the experiment reported b..
Prof. +. Paneth and DIR. Peters of Ber
lin University.
Palladium is a rare and heavy
metal, similar to platinum. and has, in
a spongy state, the peculiar property
of absorbing thousand times it's vol
ume of hydrogen gas. The hydrogen
when so condensed in the pores of the
finely divided metal, is in an unusually
active condition, perhaps because the
hydrogen, which ordinarily consists o.
atoms Joined together in pairs, is here
broken up into separate atoms, which
then unite eagerly with atoms of other
elements, such as oxygen. This reac-
ton is so quick that a tiny bit of pal.
ladium put into a mixture of hydro
gen and oxygen will explode it and
form water.
If the conclusions of Paneth and
Peters are correct, then the hydrogen
atoms condensed by palladium have
also the ability to unite with one an
other in groups of four, which consti-
tutes the helium molecule. They pass
ed a stream of hydrogen gas over
palladium in the colloidal state, in
WHICH lOEUn tIle diIlOulll VI
surface is exposed and after II
hours of absorption they detected
the main lines of the helium spec
trum. AS longer time elapsed the
lines increased in intensity. 1t
would require an enormous length
of time to produce a sufficient guam
tity of helium to be isolated and
analyzed, but by using an extremely
delicate spectroscope the amount of
helium formed artificial.y by this
process was estimated to he from one
to ten thousand millionthS of q cubic
centimeter.
The transformation of hydrogen
iHHe helium. if it can be accom-
HNShed, would theoretically involve
a loss in weight of eight-tenths of l
per cent. The matter SO destroyed
would be transformed into energy
and pass off as rays of light and
heat. Such an annihilation of en-
ergy would produce an enormous
amount of heat.
According to some modern as
tronomers, the rays of the sun and
stars originate in such decomposi-
tion Of matter. In the Berlin expert
ments no evolution of energy was OBJ
served, either because the heat was
too small TO be noticed or because
1t passed off in the form of radiation
of extremely short-wave lengths, like
the penetrating rays coming from
the sky, which have been studied by
kohlhoerster and Millikan.

TRIO KILLED
IN TN|STER

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 24.-CP)
Ehree. persons were dead today and
Rne person perhaps fatally injured as
the result OF tornado that late yes
terday roared across Johnston and
Atoka counties in Southeastern Okla
homa.
Although wire communication was
interrupted in the stricken area, res
cue parties combed it in search of cas-
ualties and it was believed all vic
tins had been found. o..
Travelling in a southeasterly direc,
tion. the twister first swooped down
at Fillmore, destroying three houses.
Mrs. Tom Callen was killed in one
OF the houses when il was lifted high
and smashed TO the ground. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. S. Morton were injured. Both
were in hospital at Durant today
and Mrs. MOrtOn's condition was Sc
rious.
Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe Jackson died
IN the wreckage of their home at Vocs.
The fury of the storm appeared to
have been spent when it reached
kcnefic. A Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs were
injured there. The greatest property
damage appeared TO have been at
Fillmore, where most of the buildings
were destroyed. Crops and trees in
the path Of the tornado were demol-
ishcd and hail and rainstorm that
followed added to the destruction.
Several buildings. including a cotton
gin, were damaged at Coleman. Sew
eral children Of one family there were
slightly injured.
At Fillmore, team of mules that
had just completed days work we're
blown in opposite directions. Their
bodies we're found about a half mile
apart. The motor was all that was re-
covered from an automobile dis
mantled by the twister.
