Find Many Uses for
Tree Bark in Africa

Tree bark is used In tropical Africa
to make cloth. In days gone by this
material was solely used to provide
what little covering human bodies
needed. In the making of the cloth
the tree is stripped to a height of
about ten feet This bark stripping
can be done at twelve-month intervals,
the third or fourth bark making the
finest cloth. The inner bark is used
for the cloth, and strips from four to
eight feet in length are beaten with
a mallet to the thickness of heavy
brown paper. 1t is then sun-dried,
when It takes on terra-cotta shade.
Holes and flaws are patched and the
cloth Is made up into sheets about
eight feet square. Strips of fiber from
the dry stem are used as thread and
the work of stitching Is always under
taken by men. In addition, the bark
is used for door hinges, drinking YES
sells, grain drums, cradles, beehives,
nets, game traps, blankets, fishing
lines, rope, cord and thread.

Zones in Space Where
Silence Is Absolute

When rising from the earth's sur
face, the air becomes lighter and more
rarefied. Al! of Its components de-
crease in amount; at 80 miles up there
is little. or no oxygen and the density
Of the dir at that altitude Is about one
one-hundredth that at the sea level;
at 80 miles, the nitrogen ceases, and
there is practically no water vapor
above five miles. Above % miles the
air is too rare to transmit sound and
absolute silence there prevails. AS
the air is very rare at that altitude,
and as no notes or dust are there,
the light waves pass almost unob-
structed, and there is nearly total
darkness and absence Of all color; the
temperature, too, is very low, prob
ably approaching that Of outward
space, this region is then one of dark,
cold silence The fact, however, that
meteOrs sometimes become luminous
at the height of 100 miles and more,
shows that there is an atmosphere Of
some sort at that height, probably
hydrogen, helium or kindred unknown
gases.

AS a prophet, Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor of the telephone,
was in a class by himself And one
of his prophecies not only came true,
but he lived to see 1t developed to an
extraordinary degree. In 1878, just
two years after he had spoken the
first words over the telephone he
wrote a letter to a group Of British
capitalists setting forth the advan-
tages of the telephone as a means Of
person-toperson communication.
Evidently the proposition outlined
in DR.. Bells letter did not appeal to
the Britishers, who, 1t seemed could
not vision the possibility of the tele-
phone as being necessary in their
scheme Of things. But in the United
States people were quick to recognize
the usefulness Of this new communi-
cation service and proceeded to put
1t to a practicable use and it is in
this country that the telephone has
attained its highest degree of perfec-
tion. Today there are about $4,000, 900
telephone stations inooperation in the
United States from which more than
100000 calls result daily, officials
of the company say.
DR.. Bell, In his prophetic letter
which predicted the use of telephone
cable overhead and underground, said
in part:
THE telephone may be briefly de.
scribed as an electric continuance for
reproducing in distant places the
tones and articulations of a speakers
voice, so that conversation can be
carried on by word of mouth between
persons in different rooms, in diff.
ferent streets, or In different towns.
THE great advantage 1t possesses
over every Ter form of electrical
apparatus consists In the fact that II
requires no skill to operate the instru.
Eent. All other telegraphic machines
produce signals which require to be
translated by experts, and such instru
nents are therefore extremely limited
In their application, but the telephone
actually speaks, and for this reason
1t can be utilized for nearly every
pIrpOse for which speech is EN-
ployed.
