THERMOC0UPLE GIVES
TEMPERATURE OF BUG
Device Made of Hairlike Wires
Questioned by Scientists, How
ever, as to Accuracy.

How hot is a bug? Entomologists
have been answering this question for
many years In doing so they have
used a thermocouple with which to
make the temperature measurement.
This is an electric temperature meas
uring device which can be made of
wires so fine as to be hairlike in d.
mension. With such an instrument
the scientists have pierced the insect
whose temperature was to be taken
and taken the readings on the electri-
cal meter attached to the thermo-
couple. According to an article in
Tycos for October, scientists now
are questioning the value of readings
taken in this way. They assert that
insects are subject, like humans, to
surgical shock, and that the tempera-

SNOW HAS MELON DOOR.

DENVER (P).-Science has explained
the phenomenon of red snow in the
tinental divide of the Rocky Mountains
in Colorado.
To persons who make the trip by
United States forest trails to the great
ice rivers in this region, the reddish
tinge of snow is one of the most curious
and interesting features.
The color is most noticeable when one
walks over a glacier and crosses great
spot where the snow looks red. Foot
steps turn a crimson hue. A faint but
well defined scent Of watermelon ema-
mates from the eolored snow.
Scientists have found that this kind

Beautiful models have little

according to the head of an en-

Facial beauty in a painting is
considered efete. he said.
Beautiful eyes. chiselled noses
and delicately cut mouth no long
CT have any appeal to the artists
who see beauty only in the ugh-
ness Of the heayy-yisaged ladies,
mostly Of the NOrdic type.
Broad brows have replaced the
chic forehea6S. and forceful Jaws,
square and determined, have sue
ceeded delicate Chins.
This gentle revolution has
brought about q striking change
in the types Of women who swarm
in the cafes Of the AIountparnasse

The sweet-faced girl Of another
era. who once gave smiling color
to the colony. has been replaced
by faXen-haired Norwegian girls,
more mildly blonde Berliners and
Viennese with similarly formid-
able faces.
