Mole Cricket's Ears Are

The queerest thing on q mole
cricket's leg is the little oval patch
on its knee.
This is piece Of tightly-stretched
membrane, corresponding with the
drum Of a human ear.
This arrangement gives the mole
cricket great advantage over 9TH

two ears very wide apart, and then
gauge the direction and distance
Of sound by comparing the two

Complete Surprise

Friends and relatives Of G. H

been able to make the surprise
complete until the evening Of Fri

were doing in town at that time
and they replied that they were go

the depot and ascertain the time the
train would leave. It was found that
the train left later that evening
and Mr.. Hillerud asked his friends
to come to his home for supper and
to remain there until train time. OF
course, they did not like to bother
Mrs. Hillerud, but he assured them
1t would be no bother, and then
called the lady, who said to bring
the men right along. Upon arrival
at the Hillerud home. he found sew
eral ladies there, all members Of the
families of his men friends, and he
then decided there was something
wrong. He had been completely
surprised and admitted it.
The selfinvited guests had
brought with them delicious eats,
and the dinner was complete In
every detail. Those who helped Mrs.
Hillerud make the. surprise COM
plete were Mr.. and Mrs. Gust EN-

Highest Laboratory
in World Built on
Top of Mt. Evans
Protected Against Wind,
Lightning and Rats

Denver.-The campus of the
University of Denver has been
extended up to the peak of Mt.
Evans at Ia, 259 feet. There, at
the end of the highest automo-
bile road in the United States,
stands the highest laboratory in
the world, being some three
thousand feet higher than the
famous laboratory on the jung
frau Joch in Europe.
This laboratory is a joint project
of the Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology and the University OF
Denver. The building was pre-fab-
ricated in Denver, cut into sections
and transported from Denver to Mt.
Evans in one day by the use of a
nine-truck caravan.
CCC men did yeoman service in
carrying 40 sections averaging in
weight from 200 to 500 pounds, up
the rocky knoll from the terminal
of the automobile road to the site
of the laboratory. They also con-
structed the foundation for the
building.
Will Stand Wind and Weather.
The laboratory is designed to
withstand wind velocity of $50
miles per hour and to screen out
electrical disturbances of this re-
gion, which at times cause electric
sparks to jump from ones finger
tips, ears, and nose, and make the
hair stand out like the quilts of a
frightened porcupine. Also it had
to be made as impervious and i'm
pregnable to rodents and souvenir.
hunting tourists as possible.
To make the structure wind
proof, side walls were eliminated,
while the protection from lightning
was accomplished by having the
end walls, the roof, and the floor
completely surrounded with metal
which is connected to ground wires
buried deeply in the mountain.
This also protects against rodents.
The new laboratory is expected to
be one of the sights which the hum
dreds of scientists attending the
meeting here of the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Science next June 21-26 will wish to
see.
Not for C0smic Rays Only.
Use of the laboratory will not be
limited to research work on cosmic
rays. The first work done was that
by DR.. Fred D'Amour of the de-
partment of zoology, who studied
the physiological changes in the
rat due to high altitude. The de-
partment of meteorology has long
desired a station at high altitude
where observers could be placed.
Requests to use the laboratory
have been received from cosmic
ray workers at McGill university,
Harvard university, and the Univer-
sity of Chicago. Requests from
workers in other fields have been
received from the Colorado State
Museum, Colorado State college,
and the University of Michigan.

by a strike of $500 employees. The
strikers were given the active sup

groups of hotel employees had been
awarded such conditions.
