MAKES THE 'DEAF HEAR |New Invention Aids Thousands 's good news for all who sufier from deafness. The Dicto- Eraph Products Corporation ai nounces the perfection of a r markable device which has en- abled thousands of deaf persons to hear as well as ever. The makers of this wonderful device say It 18 too much to expect you to believe this, so they are going to give you a chance to try it at home. They offer to send it by prepald parcel Bost on o ten-day free triul. They 80 not send It C. O. D.—they re- quire no deposit—there is no ob- ligation. They send it entirely at their own expense and risk. They are making this extraordinary offer well knowing that the magic of this little instrument will 8o amaze and delight the user that the chances of its being returned | are very slight. Thousands have already accepted this offer and re- port most gratifying There's no longer any need that you should endure the mental and physical strain which comes from a constant effort to hear. Now you can mingle with your friends without that feeling of sensitiveness from which all deaf persons suffer. Now vou can take your place in the cial and business world to which vour talents entitle you and from which your affliction has, in a measure, excluded you.

Data on Volcanic| Phenomena Ob- tained for Science. Dr. Clarence N. Fenner, volcano ex- pert of the geophysical laboratory of the Carnegie Institution here, re- turned to Washington this week after a descent into the steaming crater of Mount Katmal, on the Alaskan penin- sula, which a few years ago spouted forth one of the greatest eruptions known in history. Dr. Fenner's descent of about 1,600 | feet was the first attempt ever made to penetrate the mountain, and he made a number of observations on volcanic phenomena which will be of value to solence. He spent the rest iof the summer in the famous Valley |of Ten Thousand Smokes, near the base of Katmal, where he continued p- ire and reguest blank. sement To make you see, Our Home Is Thirteen-Fourteen G” CLAFLIN OPTICAL CO.

Pre- vious expeditions have approached the crater from the southiand have looked over the brink down a sheer preeipice for 3,000 feet through steam. Dr. Fenner found one spot en the western side where the slope was such as to afford a foothold. With one gulde he made his way down the snow-covered slope, which at one place became a very narrow trough in the path of falling rock, so that the two were in constant danger. The last eruption blew off the top of the mountain 8o that the crater is about three miles in diameter at the art. It narrows until it is about mile in diameter at the bottom. |From the top previous expeditions had seen a’great natural lake which covered almost the entire floor. Dr. Fenner found this almost dried up or filled by rocks falling from the He found one unique phenomenon— one blast a second irregularly. Some- times it shoots up great balloon-like bubbles which explode in midair, scattering mud. Again it shoots jets stralght in the air. The explosions are so loud that they can be heard a mile away. Floor of Crater Solidified. The floor of the crater has become solidified since the last eruption, but still great volumes of volcanic gasses seep up through the mudpots and fumerols. The theory of the origin of the Val- ley of Ten Thousand Smokes is that | subterranean eruptions of Katmai occurred at the same time as the main eruption, pushing great volumes of molten lava and gasses under the surface of the valley. These found their way out through points of least resistance as mud pots and jets of steam. Dr. Fenner tried to determine the extent of this subterranean mass, and the rapid cooling off indicates, he claims, that it is much smaller than was commonly supposed. For the first time this summer the valley was entered by persons be- Isides sclentific explorers—a party of Alaskan tourists, who remained for three days. Otherwise the Washing- ton man and his guide were alone. |1t was necessary to take in every- ! thing needed, since the valley is ab- solutely devoid of vegetation and animal life is almost unknown. Only jan occasional Alaska bear ventures into the steam cloud that covers the and. No Food for Horses. Dr. Fenner was obliged to send back his horses because there was nothing for them to live on. Cooking was done in the steampots, which acted as fireless cookers. Two months in all was spent in the valley, which is about fitteen miles long by four miles wide and is almost impossible of access, since it lles over the moun- tains from a harborless coast with- out trails of any kind. Geophysical laboratory experts, who were scattered over the world this summer engaged {n the study of land { movements, are drifting back to ! Washington. Dr. A. L. Day, director of the laboratory, has been at Mount | Lassen, California, collecting samples i of lava for analysis this winter. H Dr. F. E. Wright has returned from a summer spent in studying the great lava deposits in eastern Oregon. Dr. E. S. Shepherd spent the summer studying the movements of intrusive mual:el in Montana and southern tah. Dr. N. L. Bowen will return soon from Norway, where he has been en- gaged in study of the intrusive earth which he started masses, most of the sclentists will leave for other explorations next spring.

Recent exhaustive tests with one- wire antenna on merchant ve: have demonstrated the practical of using & single wire for low-power transmitting purposes as well as for receiving. Aboard ships this feature eliminate cost, space and weight. It would make the neces lowering of the s on oa - sels during loading much easier and reduce the necessary insulators, wire spronders, etc. Also the single-wire aerials could be hoisted higher than & three or four wire antenna. Amateurs who have no facilities or cannot afford to erect masts high and strong enough to carry & hevy four-wire aerial should find the single wire of considerable benefit when using one kw. or less power: for two kw. tranamission it is sald the single- wire antenna is not to be compared with larger antenna. ost every one knows that the gingle-wire merfal picks up less in- terference. Its efficlency in trans- mitting is not quite as great as a four-wire aerial, but experts believe the decrease In cost, weight and ease of handling would compensate for 108s in efficiency. The recent tests included the use of both inveérted L and T type aerlals and several forms of wire. A four- strand wire cable twisted over a m: nila rope core was found most satl factory.
