POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
REQUESTS PATRONS TO
MAIL PARCELS EARLY AND
WRAPPED SECURELY

The U. S. post office department
is, as usual at this season of the
year, asking the cooperation of
the public in handling the enor-
nous amount of mail going
through during the holidays.
Shop early and mail early is
one of the chief admonitions of
the department. Use strong pa
per, heavy Irvine, wrap and pack
securely, all packages.
Extreme care should be exer-
cised in the preparation of articles
that can be easily broken. Cigars
wrapped in ordinary paper will
not be accepted. Use a cor
rugated paper package and extra
paper wrapper. Mark all pack
ages containing breakabIe articles,
fragile. Also mark all parcels
containing perishables with the
word perishable plainly shown.
Addresses should be complete
in every way. A return address
should be shown on every piece
Of mail. Do not mail cards in
red, green or other dark colored
envelopes.
No parcel of more than 100
inches in length and girth COM
bined nor exceeding 20 pounds in
weight will be accepted.
Use special delivery stamps
when speed is required. How
ever special delivery does not in
sure safety. To be sure of the
article reaching destination, ii
should be registered.
Insure and register all mail of
value. Sealed. registered first
class mail is received and i'm
demnity up to $1,000 is now paid
in connection with domestic
registered and c. o. d. registered
mail.

Want To Be A Lightning Bolt?---lts Easy!
Just Hop Out OF This New Atoms masher

By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
tAssocinted Press Science Editor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec.
6.-A man can explode with
a 5000, OOO-volt human
lightning flash-if he is
careless-in working Massa-
chusetts Techs new atom
smashing gun.
This risk Of human explosion is
unique. the first time man has
faced this particular hazard.
The demonstrating charge, 1O,-
100000 volts. is accumulated on
the outside surfaces of two polish
ed, hollow aluminium spheres
mounted high above the ground.
Each sphere stores continuously
a 5000, 0OO-volt charge, or half
the total.
les Safe Inside
The only safe" place while
these two giants are firing charges
at each other is inside the spheres.
That, curiously enough, is abb
solutely safe, except for the re-
mote hazard that some scientist
inside will get absent-minded and
go wandering out through the
laboratory manhole.
The electricity forming the TO-
600, 000-volt current is stored ex-
clusively on the outside of the
spheres. But the men working
inside are under an electrical ten
sion equal to the voltage outside
their own sphere. Their bodies
are charged with 100000 volts.
They do not even feel this
charge. It is harmless because it
has no place to go.
Don't Stick Out A Finger!
The atom-smashers are in an
electrical tension world as safe
as the earth, but one SO small
Is feet in diameter-that only
about one second is needed to get
out Of it. If they so much as
stick out one finger it would give
off a 5,000,000-volt flash. IF
they fell out. their bodies would
strike the ground with flashes
roaring like big guns.
For two reasons the chances of
this accident are remote. The
workers are securely housed in
before the current is turned on.
After the current is shut off it
takes only few seconds for the
100000 volts in the body to
leap away into the air. After this
leakage there is no danger.
Voltage Generated Quickly
The record-breaking electric
charges are built up ineypensively
from small generators which
spray electricity upon endless
paper belts a yard wide. running
over a pulley up into the spheres.
The belts speed mile minute.
A fine wire at their upper ends
draws the electrical charge off
the belt. 1t takes only a few
seconds to build each sphere up
to 100000 volts. One is mega
tive, the other positive, so that
the voltage between them is TO-
000, 900.
This gives a continuous flow of
10 times the power of any direct
current ever before generated.
A great vacuum tube will con-
meet the spheres and use all this
charge to generate atom-smash-
ing rays. having energies in excess
of anything previously known.
Scientists will work inside the
spheres at both ends of this tube.
