Smoke plagued factory cities may
very soon become thing of the sooty
past. an amazed audience realized yes
terday at the Interior Department
as they watched dense clouds of fumes
disappear in a matter of second at
the shrek of a whistle commanded
by "super-sonic wave"
It was a practical demonstration of
a device invented by H. w. St Cla!r,
metallurgist of the Bureau Of Mines.
designed to solve the smelter-fume
and similar problems by means OF
waves of extremely high frequency.
1t has been known that such waves
affected the diffusion of solid or liquid
particles Of gas. But, as Bureau OF
Mines officials pointed out. no prac-
tical application has previously been
made of this knowledge.
With a little more development. st.
Clair hopes to be able to apply his
invention to practical usage in dozen
different ways.
Costs Millions Annually.
The smelter-fume problem has cost
millions annually in law suits over
damages to vegetation. live stock and
water supplies. Similarly, the smoke
nuisance in factory towns may be
curbed or altogether subdued by the
application of "super-sonic waves"
that may be of such high pitch that
a person can't even hear it.
st. Clair's device looks somewhat
like a radio set, with a glass tube
and whistle attached. His method
merely passes the smoke or gas fune
through the tube in which standing
sound waves are established. These
standing waves are produced by so
adjusting the length of the tube that
waves reflected from the upper end
are in phase with the original sound
waves set up at the lower end.
Coagulation Can Be Seen.
As the whistle blows and the waves
are set in motion. the quick coagula-
ton of the fumes is readily seen. In
a few seconds the fumes have con-
gealed at the bottom of the tube.
Some day. officials said. it may be
possible by this manner to dispel fogs
from airplane landing fields-but even
they admitted such day was far
distant.
The action of the sound waves on
the fumes in the tube Is similar to
the effect produced by drawing the
bow of a violin over a metal plate on
which dust particles are deposited,
when the vibrations cause the particles
to arrange themselves in groups.
The Bureau Of Mines for many
years has been interested in the prob
lem of smelter fumes In 1929 1t
began work on the possibility of set
tling smoke by means of acoustic
waves.
The installation of the process in
factories or in smelters should be COM
paratively simple and inexpensive,
they said. The device would coagu-
late the fumes before they entered the
chimney.
Valuable Metals Can Be Saved.

would be possible to collect the valu-

northern port of entry in the United

ice between the Bermudas and the
United States.
Already alternate ports Of entry
have been designated at Charleston,

The United States and British
Governments are engaging in those
negotiations.
From Hamilton last week it was
reported that Imperial Airways might
be in position to begin its first test
flights in 80 days, making for a pos
sibility of flights to the United States
on schedule some time this Summer.
Bermuda Flight Local Service.
Generally the United States-Ber-
muda flight project has been regarded
as the first link in a transatlantic
service between the United States and
England, but a spokesman for Pam
American cautioned today that the
Bermuda flight would be purely a
local service and should not be
confused with United States-to-Eu-
rope picture"
Ultimately, speculation on trans
Atlantic service has had it. Pam
American, Imperial Airways, Lrf-
thansa of Germany and Air France
would cooperate, but governmental
negotiations conducted for the last
three years have not come to head.
Until they are completed the COM
mercial companies will not be able to
plan such flights.
The German and French companies
have attempted test flights for North
and South Atlantic flying services.
