Godhead of the Earth

Geo is the godhead Of the earth and
every science based on It's structure
and mass relates thereto. Geodesy is
the science Of earth measurements,
and 1t is this measurement which Is
the particular function Of the Survey.
But such nice measurements cannot
be related solely to the earth. AS
tronomy must have part. The Survey
keeps In the field, when it's appropri-
ations allow, parties of surveyors who
constantly check and recheck their
measurements and carry out the trian-
angulation on which the system is based.
The entire country Is covered by a
network Of these triangulations. In
the Surveys offices at Washington, ex-
perts are necessarily going over the
field notes and making their immense
calculations which establish the shapes
and levels, the magnitude and the fig
ure Of the earth.

Fishing for Lost Anchors

One Of the strangest industries that
has grown up around large harbors
in~various parts Of the world, is that
of fishing for lost anchors. SO valu-
able are these anchors that ships often
mark the place where they lose them
on their charts, and engage salvage
companies to recover them. It Is not
at all uncommon for a ship to lose
an anchor, owing to the enormous
strain upon it and the chain. While
modern science has eliminated most
of the hazards of the sea, vessels must
still heave-to when mountainous waves
and bowling winds put too great
strain on the hull for continued head
way. There is then only one thing
left for vessel to do-drop It's heav-
lest anchors. Despite all modern de-
vices for ships safety, the anchor is
still the emergency brake.

Spider as Webmaker Is
Marvel for Measurement

Although the most symmetrical web
ever made by spider is not really
perfect, according to human standards,
scientists marvel at the accuracy with
which angles and distances are "meas-
ured"
The spider starts her geometrical
web with perimeter lines connecting
objects around space large enough
for her purpose according to an OBJ
server In the National Geographic
Magazine. From these lines she sus-
pends few threads which converge
at the center Of the future web Now
begins the process of spacing the
radli.
She attaches the end Of new
radius at the center and runs along
a spoke already laid down, spinning
out the silk for the new one as she
goes. When she reaches the perimeter
line, she takes a fixed number Of
steps along 1t and attaches the new
thread. This process is repeated un-
til all the desired radii are In place.
If the foundation lines should
chance to form a wheel rim accurate
ly circular, the distance between
spokes would be equal; but, since the
perimeter Is usually an irregular quad
rangle and never circular, the spac-
ing varies somewhat.

Cuban Postal WalkOut Ends


Havana, Cuba (AFL)-The govern
ment of Cuba will hesitate hereafter
when it refuses to give consideration
to the legitimate labor Improvement
demands of it's employees. This is
clearly indicated by the end of the
twenty days strike of employees of
the communications department,
which paralyzed the mail and govern
ment telegraph service. Post offices
remained closed to the public for two
days after the end of the strike as
the clerks strove to distribute the
hugh quantity of accumulated mail
Telegraphic service was resumed the
day after the walkout was ended.

American Boys Grow Fast

American boys grow faster than
those in any other country in the
world says an investigator at the Uni
versity of Virginia. Up until he is
seven years old his growth Is much
greater than the German boy or the
boy of eastern Europe. From the age
of seven to the adult period he finds
that in many cases the growth of the
American lad is as much as 200 per
cent over the Europeans and 67 per
cent greater than the negro who Is
his closest rival. His slowest period
Of growth Is from twelve to fifteen
years.

Century Plant Used in
Manufacture of Liquor

The century plant belongs to an ex-
tremely useful family, the Amarylli-
daceae, the best known species OF
which is the Agave Americana, some
times called the American aloe, re-
calls the New York Times.
The sap of a certain variety, when
fermented, yields a beverage resem-
bling cider, the Mexican pulque. By
distillation it yields two intoxicating
liquors widely used in Mexico-mescal
and tequila. The leaves are used for
feeding cattle; the fibers Of the leaves
(called pita, sisal hemp or henequen)
are formed into thread, cord and ropes.
The leaves, roasted, were formerly
used for food by the Indians.
In the warmer parts Of Europe the
American aloe is cultivated as an OBJ
ject of considerable utility. Plants
are set out in rows as hedges or fences,
especially In Spain, Portugal and Italy.
In some parts the leaves are employed
for securing pewter, kitchen utensils,
and floors.
The accepted notion that the agave
does not bloom until 1t Is one hundred
years old Is erroneous. It's Towering
entirely depends on the rapidity Of its
growth. In hot countries it will flow.
er in a few years, but in colder eli
mates, the growth being slower, it is
longer in arriving at maturity.
The stem of the century plant, which
bears the blossoms, rises from the GEN.
ter of the leaves and when the plant
is in vigorous state 1t frequently ex-
ceeds the height of 20 feet.
