EARTHWORMS.

It Is not man who has made of this earth a Towering paradise.
 It is the ear rthworfn.
 Man enjoys what ;he has not pro vided, reaps where he has not sown.
 Vegetation is what makes human life possible. Plants consume the ni- trogen Of the air, leaving the oxygen for man, replenishing the store of 1t for him.
 But never could vegetation have survived upon tn eearth's crust if the earthworm had not been here, bur rowing the ground, ssaftening it,

UNDERWATER RADIO
AIDS OCEAN SURVEY.
Safety of Mariners Also Is
Increased by Sound Trans
mission Apparatus.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Use of radio and sound transmission
through sea water Is revolutioniz1ng
the methods of photographic surveying
and increasing the safety of mariners,
E. Lester Jones, chief of the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey, de-
clareS
In his annual report Mr. Jones says
that the method known as radio acouS-
tic sound ranging has reached a stage
of dependability and accuracy which,
while not guaranteeing perfect perform
ance under all conditions, warrants
official Endorsement
Accomplishments Doubled.
1t has more than doubled the ac-
compliShments of ocean surveying par
ties in regions of prevalent adverse
weather conditions, as it permits the
making of surveys during foggy or rainy
weather and during the hours of dark
ness, he says.
The sound of bomb as the survey
ship travels through the water is re-
corded by two or more shore stations
which automatically send wireless sig
nails to the ship as soon as the sound
arrives. This is measurement of the
distance Of the ship from each station
knowing the location o: the shore sta
| tions by previous surveying, the three
sides of triangle are known, from
which the ships position can be COM
puted.
On the ship is timing device, a
chronograph, comprised of strip OF
paper like stock ticker tape on which
two lines are drawn by pens that may
be DETECTED by magnets. The first of
these pens is operated by chronometer
SO that 1t makes kink in its line each
second, and the tape is drawn at such
rate that the distance between Sec
| ondS is about one inch. The second
pen may be connected either to a sound
receiver or a wireless receiver.
Sound Signal AmpIified.
The shore stations are equipped with
Q complete wireless transmitter and re-
ceiver, and sound receiver is placed
out in the water from a few hundred
feet to a mile from shore, depending
upon the depth of water and severity
of the surf. A cable connects the re-
ceiver TO the shore apparatus where
the weak sound signal is amplified
sufficiently to operate relay and send
a radio signal to the ship.

Wet Towel S'Invented''
By Lauder as Radio
Improvement Works

LONDON up. -- Sir Harry
Lauder has invented" a device
to improve the broadcasting Of
the voice.
It involves nothing more costly
than a towel soaked in water.
The towel is placed over the
microphone and has the effect
of emphasizing the singers voice
and at the same time subduing
the sound of the orchestra.
British Broadcasting Co. off,
cials were little skeptical when
Sir Harry insisted on having a
wet towel before he would face
the microphone. Such a request
had never been made in the
studio before. But when the ex-
pert in the listening cabinet sig
nailed that it was yielding excel
lent results astonishment turned
to delight and Sir Harry beamed
a canny "I told you so'' out of
the corner of his eye.

RADIO EXPORTS SHOW
INCREASE THIS YEAR
Receivers and Receiver Compo-
nents Are Items Revealing
Largest Gain.

In 1928 exports of radio apparatus
for the first nine months of the year
and for the single month of Septem-
Der show an increase over similar Pc
riods in 1927. The increase for Sep
tember amounted to $359,374.
The individual items making the
biggest gains were receivers, increased
by $246,714, and receiver components,
by $112,529 Receiver accessories in
creased slightly but exports of tubes
decreased.
Canada is the most important market
for radio apparatus, shipment of re-
ceivers to that country during Septem-
Der amounting to $362,613, receiver
components $168,000 and receiver ac-
cessories $155,000. Argentina contin-
ues to offer good market for both re-
ceivers and components, shipments
amounting to $33,591 and 7,499, re-
spectively, during September.
