Caruso's Loyalty to
His Queen Pathetic

Ceru! o had one old friend TO whom
he was devoted ana whom he wor-
SHIPPED from afar with pathetic sort
of adorat This was Maria Sophia
of Bourbon the former queen Of NH
pies. SHE had been his benefactress
In the early days of his career,
Even though her reign was over and
she lived In exile In France, she was
still his queen, the sovereign of his ma.
tive city. He never failed to visit her
when he went abroad, and on his last
visit she presented him with scarf.
pin, a medal carved with the head Of
Madonna enclrcled with rubles,
Through her secretary, Slgnor Bar
celona, Caruso received regular re-
ports Of her, and each month he wrote
his queen a beautiful and ceremonious
letter, addressing her with all the for
mality due her former rank, to which
she chung pathetlcally even in her old
age. The exile of this venerable
queen was one OF the things he would
brood over with tears In his eyes, but
he would never discuss her with any
one. To him shevwas the sacred EN-
blem of royalty.-Dorothy Caruso, In
the Saturday Evening Post.

Exhaust Steam

It was some years ago that Sir
Charles Parsons first showed that by
means of the steam-turblne exhaust
steam from reciprocatlng engines
could be used to produce power more
economically than It had been pro
duced before.
Later Professor Rateau of the
School of Mines, In Paris, discovered
a method Of using exhaust steam
from engines that run internationally.
According to high authority, the
practical result OF the development
OF exhaust and mixed-pressure steam
turbines has been that, on land alone,
nearly 100000 horse power OF cleo.
trlcal energy is being generated by
means of exhaust steam that has pre-
vlously been wasted.

Freedom Brings Light

There Is only one cure for evils
which newly acquired freedom pro-
duces, and that cure Is freedom. The
blaze Of truth and liberty may at first
dazzle and bewilder nations which
have become half-blind in the house
of bondage. But let them gaze on,
and they will soon be able to bear 1t.
In few years men learn to reason,
and the extreme violence of opinions
subsidies. The scattered elements Of
truth cease to contend and begin to
coalesce. And at length a system Of
justice and order is educed out Of the
chaos.--Macaulay

Facfs About Waterspout

The weather bureau says the idea
that waterspout can lift water to
great heights by vacuum while a per-
feet vacuum pump will lift It only "a
feet at sea level IL case Of appear
anees being deceiying. There Is no
vacuum inside waterspout--on a
very partial vacuum, rarely sufficient
TO lift the water as much as two feet.
The water Of waterspout Is mostly
rain from above. The lower portion
Of the spout contains good deal OF
sea water as spray (not continuous
column Of water) blown up by the

Development of "Specs"

Arlstophanes speaks of the burning
glass, Pllny mentions solid balls of
rock crystal, and Seneca describes
their use by engravers. In A. d. 100
Claudlus Ptolemaeus wrote treatise
on optics, but after these early times
It is difficult to trace the history of
the eyeglass for over a thousand years
until, in the Eleventh century, Al
haZan, the Arabian, wrote with consid-
cradle knowledge on the subject.
The monks ground up rock crystal
into lenses and so introduced the fore
runner Of the monocle, which was fol-
lowed by kind of lorgnette with "
shaped supports, but glasses devel-
oped into something like their present
form about 600 years ago.

Summer Clouds

As rule the clouds Of midday,
seen on clear day, known as cumu-
lus clouds, have a well-marked straight
base. AS the ground and the air near
est 1t begin to warm, the warmed air
rises into the higher, cooler regions,
where, cooled mainly by Its own ex-
pansion against the colder air about

forming cloud. AS by continuing
ascent more Of the stream Of air
comes in the region Of condensation
the cloud builds up higher. The base
of the cloud remains at the height
where condensation begins, which
height continues about the same.

ORIGINATED in Error

An explanation Of the origin of the
word 'hoodlum" has been given In the
following tale: Out In San Francisco
a great many years ago there was
man named Muldoon, who was the
leader Of band of boy rufIlans. A
reporter who had been assigned to
story of this gang attempted to coin
a name for them and transposed
the name Muldoon, calling the gang
noodlums. The typesetter mlstook
the letter "n' for IN" and made the
word "hoodlum." It passed the proof
reader and became recognized word.

NEW YORK. September 8.-Hugo
Gernsback, president of radio station
WRNY. estimated today that within
the last few weeks between 5000 and
5000 persons in or near New York
City had begun building television re-
ceiving sets. He based this on hun
dreds of telephone calls and letters re-
ceived at the station since it began
regularly broadcasting moving images by
televiSion three weeks ago AS similar
experiments are being conducted in
many cities throughout the country. it
is apparent that new army of anna
teur investigators, comparable in num-
berS to the youthful pioneers of radio,
is rapidly being mobiloed
We find interest ana Ct nmunications
increasing day by day." said Mr. Germs
back. THE construction of a television
receiving set is simple. and the fans
are finding that thev can get results
commensurate with the present print
tive state of development-frankl
television is just in its beginning With
thousands of experimenters on the re-
celving end. we find that we have a
splendid laboratory. from which we
hope much valuable technical infor-
nation can be obtained. Many of the
ietCclS WHICH we nave received ask LOT
a longer broadcaSting period. which we
will inaugurate Monday night"
The amateur televiSion sets now be-
ing built are attached to an ordinary
radio. The only parts necessary are
a small motor. a neon tube and scan
nlng" disk, the total cost of which is
under $50. The disk could be con-
veniently made at home. as it is merely
perforated plate about the size of
monograph record, the essential Of its
functioning being a spiral of tiny holes
near the circumference.
Neon gas, already family name
through its use for advertising signs
and aviation beacons. will doubtless play
the leading role in the development of
television. until it is replaced, possibly
by the cathode ray. 1t is this gas, filling
a lamp behind the whirling. perforated
disc, on the receiving end, which trans
lateS into light impulses the incoming
electrical impulses and makes possible
the reforming of the image in light
and shade on the scanning disc. Neon is
a rare element. constituting one two
hundred thouSandth of the earth'S
atmosphere. 1t is an inert gas, resistant
to chemical combinations and hence
long-lived.
When you decide to build television
set, you just drop into a store and ask
for an "oramatron." That will get you

WAKE FOREST. N. c.. September 3
Dennis G.. Brummitt, North Carolina
attorney general. asserted last night in
an address here that much of the op-
position to the presidential candidacy of
Gov. Smith is fostered by power in
tereStS.
Before this campaign ends" he said.
the people of North Carolina are going
to realize that large part of the oppo-
sltion to Smith is not because he is
wet, not because he is a Catholic. not
because of Tammany, but because of
ms opposition to the power trust of
this country
The speaker said that the Anti
Saloon League is dominated by the Re-
publican party. The National Anti
Saloon League at least is an adjunct
of the Republican party" he declared.
There is only one man on the national
board of directors who ever claimed to
be Democrat, and that is the Rev
James A. Cannon, jr. of Richmond, Va,
who has now left u.s."
