to solve the problem 90 at it with the idea
that it is dinicult.
For instance IN . canning factory of1cials
sought to find . method Of turning the cans
over after they had run through the labelling
machine, but before they entered the wrapping
machine In other words, the officials desired
to have the can stand on the store shelves with
the printing on the wrapper rightside up while
the label was bottomside up. This naturally
would stand the can ON its top instead Of its
bottom
The reason for this was that the product
In the can had tendency to form little buttons
Of mod which we're perfectly harmless but
might interfere with the sale of the product.
The mold always formed on the surface where
the air was, SO, by putting the can bottomside
up in storage, the mold formed on the bottom.
When the can was opened in the home. natu-
rally it was reversed and the mold was then
On the bottom where it would go undiscovered
and no harm would be done.
An experimental apparatus was constructed

In question and q group Of officials invited to
witness the demonstration. An elaborate sys-
tenn of runways had been constructed Of angle
iron with the can rolling through . series Of
curves and twists. When all was ready, . can
was started through the labelling machine, but
somewhere the idea vent screwy. fc- the can
entered the wrapping machine in exactly the

termined By astronomical observations, the
surveyors many years ago worked their way out
to California by Constructing" huge triangles,
one on the side of another. Under rst-order
operations Of this type. errors are held to less
than five feet in 100 miles.
On the Pacific Coast, the triangles are much
smaller than those used IN cross-country op-
erations; thus an extreme degree of accuracy
has been obtained
Work by which elevation Of hundreds of
points in the earthquake area was determined
before the disturbance Is characterized by
the same degree Of care. II q discrepancy Of
more than one-f1ftieth of an inch is found in
one mile Of surveying, the work has to be re-
DONE
Probably the most intensive elevation de-
termination in Southern California was per-
formed within a short distance Of the place
where the quake recording apparatus was placed
in the Long Beach Bank Building. The site Of
this particular activity which completed .
comparatively short time before the disaster
Is Signal Hill, within the city limits of Long
Beach. This area, purchased by the city in
1911 as a part of water supply development,
was filled with oil-drilling apparatus several
years ago following discovery that fluid gold"
rested below the surface.
It Is known that Oil company engineers be-
came confronted some time ago with the fact
that changes were taking place in the elevation
above sea level Of various points on Signal Hill.
This information was conveyed to the stan of
the Coast and Geodetic Survey with the re-
suit that unusually close surveys were UNDER
taken when the crews engaged IN establishing
true levels reached that section.

As the paper-bearing drum revolved three

ment could take place without being detected
by q resurvey.
An indication of the high degree Of accuracy
attained In this work Is afforded by the fact
that an umbrella is held above the field tn
struments during the periods Of obversation so
that the suns rays may be kept from striking
the metal and producing minute distortions.
Several dozen small books now In a room in
the Department Of Commerce Building here in

produced three sets Of marks upon the revolving

the g-1ag effect.

nection Dr. William Bowie, chief of the divi-
sion of geodesy, Coast and Geodetic Survey,
has stated that shifts of earth surface amount
ing to as much as IS to 20 feet may take place
during periods Of seismic activity. Similarly,
large sections of the California surface early
were found to have gained or lost elevation above
sea level as a result Of the 1906 earthquake.
Comparisons spanning 30 years. including the
time Of the San Francisco disaster, incidentally
show changes in elevation had occurred in the
vicinity of Los Angeles.
Measurement of the changes which have
been produced as q result of the recent dis
turbance will depend, first Of all, upon location
Of round plates OF metal embedded in masonry
and concrete or buried beneath the surface Of
the ground by the skilled and highly accurate
field forces which were at work in California
during the months Immediately preceding the
March shocks. Then, by running new surveys
the distances which those plates have moved

measured.

Periodically, one Of the men slapped his hand

two three minutes, and stop.
Ceasing their strange subterranean doings
after a while. the two men made their way to

its hum producing contents in the strongly

They had "set trap" for an earthquake.
AS consequence of that installation, Offices
