duction in theaters. And not with out reason. The toddling days of the talkie are presumed to be over. The theater itself remains an out
 standing matter for concern. There are, I am informed by
 Monsieur Wolf, some 18,5OO movie
 houses operating in America, 12,00O of which have set up talkie machines. Only a minute fraction of the thea ters were specially built for talkie acoustics. The others suffered from
 every imaginable sound trouble. Some months ago, the nature of these difficulties became so well known
 that volumes of statistics were be- coming available and remedies for
 alteration could be soon advised. It seems that the more modern banquet halls, auditoriums and dance
 halls are also having their noises measured.
 Wolf was recently called into con- sultation on the construction and furnishing of the new Waldorf ball. room.
 However, the most interesting and difficult job undertaken was that of
 the Manhattan subways, which hold
 something of a record for assorted
 sounds that clash unpleasantly on
 the ears and nerves. It will take about year or more for the sur veyors to catch all the possible
 sounds, from the clicking of the turnstiles to the crunching of the wheels.
 A dozen and one sounds already have been classified = the elimina- /, tion of any one of which would please the average Manhattanite. GILBERT SWAN. | Copyright, 1891, NEA Service, Inc) I Italy will build 21 new post off,

New York = A little job of noise
 measuring is quietly being carried on across the nation.
 Now that the panicky din that | followed the arrival of talking pie
 lures has died away to faint echo, | there remains the rumbling of faulty acoustics.
 | And so there has come into being
 the new profession of doctor of acoustics, s. K. Wolf is an acoustical
 diagnostician, though his actual title
 is that of consultant to Western Electric's research products de part ment.
 i Thus far he has listened to the sound diseases of 4,500 different
 theaters. This has been made pos | sible through the invention of a de- /: vice known as the chronograph re-
 measures with unerring accuracy the
 time it takes for a sound to reverber- ate in any specific theater. Until this little gadget came along, an investigator had to depend upon i the all t ofallible human ear. Now it's possible to determine the quality of noise, to separate various noises and to prescribe remedies. One can tuck a little noise away | in a corner, lift its thorax somewhat or fatten it to a swelling point. The next step in the diagnosis is 1 to apply the '1evel analyzer," which | measures the intensity of sound. The volume indicator can be plugged in
 with little effort
 But in theaters, as in humans,
 there are vague maladies, the most
 confusing of which may shortly be i cured. There are certain conglom- crate sounds that, at the moment
 cannot be driven out. A machine is now practically perfected to disin- | tegrate these, so that the specialist l can figure out exactly how each sep
 arate noise affects sound reproduc-
 tion in a theater.
 | All of which may or may not be
 of interest to the average movie fan
 who has had his evening upset by
 strange echoings and boomings and
 sundry defects.
 An elaborate library of statistics l testifies to the worry thes matters
 have caused the gents interested in

TAAL VOLCANO

Eleven times during the past 225 years, Taal volcano has broken loose.
 Taal volcano is located in the midst of lake on one of the islands of the Philippine group, and is 30 miles south of Manila.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-03

Soon it was plain that the volcano in Lake Bombon had burst on the side facing the town of Lipa. Smoke and ashes were shot into the air. Mighty waves were set up, and dashed the shores.
 sFish, large and sinall, were killed; and the waves tossed them to the beach. They looked as though they had been cooked, for lake wa- ter had been heated to the boiling point"
 Near the end of January. 1911, two Americans were studying the Taal crater. One of ;: them was Charles Martin, photographer.
 The volcano was smoking heavily, and shocks were felt in the region. In an effort to obtain pictures, Mar tin went close to the island formed by the crater and climbed to the rim. With him was the other Amer ican, and several pictures were taken. Then the adventurers rowed ashore.
 Hardly had they reached the vil- lage in which they were staying when mighty blast took place. Hundreds of tons of mud were flung into the air. and black cloud of dangerous gas rolled down the side of the crater island.
 In telling about the effects of the blast, MT Martin said:
 Trees which had been growing around the crater were broken down, leaving stumps which were cut in shreds by falling. sand and pebbles. The crater island sank eight or ten feet.''
 The sound of the explosion was heard at a distance of BIO miles. There was no flow of lava, but mud n. al. v4 a of 14O square miles, and brought about a heavy loss of life. more than 1900 persons being killed. Both of the Americans escaped.
