Do you have to cut kindling, empty ashes, build the fire then shiver for an hour before the house is warm? ‘If 4o, the best thing for you to do is to let us put a SPARK oil heater in your home. You will appreciate the continuous flow of warm. air, the cleanliness, the simplicity of operation and last but not least the economy. Burning inexpensive diesel oil it is both safe.and econemical to operate, besides elim- inating the work and labor of the old style stoves. See this remarkable heater in operation, and feel the blast of . hot air, it throws out. You can enjoy a uniform heat every minute of the day and your time can be occu- pied with pleasanter work than poking up the fire. VISIBLE FLAMG Juneau-Young Hdwe Co.

Dangerously ill two years ago, George Huff has mot been com- pletely well since, and it was thought that he would eventually be replaced by Lundgren. But a heart attack took “Lundy” in his 54th year, and George Huff pre- pares for another year at the head of the Illinois athletic plant —alone. Lundgren’s death came two weeks after the Illini lost the best backfield prospect for the 1934 sea- son.

G. Rossby of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. It {was named “the rat trap” by the sailors on the Atlantic. The Ocean- |ographic Institution’s vessel, from | the decks of which it is operated. The “rat trap” resembles a metal suitcase, higher than it is long. | Lowered over the side of the ship, it reads water temperature and pressure simultaneously and auto- matically. The pressure shows the { depth. So it makes a continuous record of the Neptune blanket of water, No other instruments have done {this easily and automatically. The old method of measuring the depth of wire submerged not accurate; | enough when the current slants the! re too much. Records Written on Foil The underwater records of tem- |perature and pressure are written by one pen, a horizontal displace-~ ment indicating temperature changs es and a vertical displacement the! changes in depth. No writing fluid flows from the pen. It scratches |its record in a film of lamp black coated with oil, and spread over the surface of a metal foil as thin and flexible as paper. After it comes out of the water,| the lamp black-oil film is fixed asi firmly as a photograph by a bath of alcohol and shellac. The scratched line shows tem- perature changes as slight as a tenth of a degree, and changes in depth by foot. The pressure is measured by a flexible tube, its ends sealed, so that it shortens like an ‘accordion as the pressure in- creases with depth. Heat Curls “Cuff’ | The temperature is read, not with a thermometer, but with a metal sheet shaped like a man’s cuff and about the same size. It is two kinds of metal, one overlapping the oth- er, each responding differently to expansion and contraction due to temperature. So the cuff curls up more as it gets warmer, and it straightens out more with a tem- perature drop. The experiments indicate that| the “homogeneous” top layer of} water varies from zero to 100 feet| in thickness. It is thinnest in sum- mer because there is less wind and| the higher temperature at the sur- face reduces density, making it du’~ ficult for the warmer water to mix | with that below. | ——e w ol R.

It is a murder mystery thriller of the first water, a product of Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer entitled “Mystery | of Mr. X | Robert Montgomery stars in the | role of Revel, suave gentleman crook. Elizabeth Allan is his lead- ing lady. She is Jane, daughter of the. Chief Commissioner of Scot- land Yard—which in itself gives some idea of the scope of the new film. Based on the Crime Club novel, “Mystery of the Dead Police,” by = Philip MacDonald, it is as excit- ing in picture form as it was in the widely read novel. Edgar Sel- wyn did a surpassing good job of directing. The picture is concerned chiefly | with the hair-raising machinations of the murderer “X", who consist-| ently notifies the newspapers by posteard when he is about to strike, then laughs at them later. London policemen are his victims and all the vast resources of Scotland Yard are shown focused on activi-' ties for his arrest.

Lewis Stone is the super-sleuth and Henry Stephenson the Chief Commissioner. Each, as usual, brings a finely drawn characteri- zation to the picture. Ralph Forbes Is excellent as the titled, over- drinking rival for Miss Allan’s af- fections, It is a thrilling motion picture and its producers are deserving of applause. FAMOUS MINING MAN IS DEAD AT NOME Baron P. M. de Friedlander, British engineer, who has been| prospecting 'in the Seward Penin- sula district of Alaska, died at Nome on September 6.

Baron de Priedlander was a na- tive of South Africa. One of his most prized possessions was the Cross of the Legion of Honor of Belgium, conferred on him by the late King Albert for services in the field of mining. During his operations in Alaska, he represented the Anglo-American Alaska Corporation of London. A| few years ago he made a mineral jsurvey of Turkey and had exten- | slve holdings in that country.
