C., July 25.—As the | result of experiments made by the Bureau of Mines, the geophone, a novel instrument used amid the reek and slaughter of the World war for | the detection of earth and rock sounds | made in the construction of military | |mines and tunnels, promises to be- | {come an active factor in the saving of the lives of miners entombed as the | | result of fires and explosions, In the | |course of tests conducted in the |bureau's experimental coal mine near | Pittsburgh, Pa., blows with a sledge | |on the coal face were heard, by means | of the geophone, at a distance of 650 feet, with various rooms and entries intervening. On a suspended pipe line, light hammering with the| knuckles was detected at a distance of 1,500 feet, Ordinary talking and | singing could he detected through 150 feet of solid coal, By the use of two geophones, one instrument to each ear, It is possible to determine the di rection from which a sound s com- ing through the earth, and thus to locate the approximate position of the entombed miner. The bureau gives recommendations for a signal code of woundings by sledges or other means which will establish communication between the rescuing party and those | entombed, Another promising use of the geg- | phone is in the location of leaks in water pipes. By means of the in- | strument, it is possible to hear water| circulating in the pipes of ordinary ity mains sitauted 10 to 15 feet below the surface. Tests conducted at EVERYMAN'’S BIBLE CLASS AUTO TRIP Members Will Auto to Plainville Camp Meeting Iriday Night to Hear Rev. John L. Davis Speak, Efforts are being made by officlals and members of Everyman's Bible class to make the Bible class night at the Plainville camp meeting Friday evening one of the biggest nights that meeting ever has seen Charles I°, Rober n, chairman of the transpor- tation committee of the Bible class, has requested the services of Harold W. Gee, general of the Red army, and Ernest R. Dechant to procure cars to transport the men and their wives, | Ten automobiles have been offered al- ready, and many more are needed Officials of the camp meeting say they have planned a surprise for the class, but do not state w it is. They have changed from standard to day- light saving time, which will make it necessary for the local delegation to leave from the Methodist church at 6:30 o'clock Friday night. ! Rev. John L. Davis will deliver the sermon that night, and Rev. A. B. Taylor wiil lead the musical program. BADGES FOR COUNCILMEN David L.

N S {ing air or by breaking off struments now uvsed by the Bureau of | Mines were made according to plans drawn by them, except for the mtm-[ duction of different diaphragms, The geophone is essentially a small seis- mograph, as it embodies the same principles as the ponderous apparatus that records earthquake tremors, It consists of a lead weight suspended between two elastic diaphragms cut- ting across a small airtight box. If the instrument is placed on the| ground and anyone is pounding or digging in the vicinity, energy is transmitted as wave motion to the| |earth, and the earth waves shake the | geophone case. The geophone, there- | fore, transforms the earth wave into a nair wave, which is heard by the| ear as sound, and at the same time magnifies the wave so that the sound | is louder than if the ears were placed in direct contact with the earth. The observations of the Bureau of | Mines indicate that the geophone should be quite useful in the location | of mine fires. Usually a mine fire| makes enough noise, either by draw- slate and | coal, to be heard for a considerable | distance through the coal and even | through the strata above. The dis- tance that these sounds can be heard | depends a great deal on the nature of | the strata above the mine, yet the| sounds originating at a mine flre“ shguld be detected through 100 to 300 feet of coal. Survey Mines. | Geophones supply a quick and fairly | accurate method of mine surveying. 1f two tunnels were being brought to- gether from any direction, the pro- | gress of the tunnels could be observed | by means of the geophone, and their | relative positions determined. Another application of the possi- | bilities of the Instrument in mine sur- | Iveying is in the prevention of acci-| | dents in blasting through. If two |tunnels are approaching each other, |or are passing a short distance apart, |it is necessary to determine the rela- | |tive location in order that men may | | be warned to keep away from the ipalnt of danger. As the sounds| transmitted through the geophone are | |so characteristic, frequent ohserva- | tions would enable a trained r)birr\ar‘ |to follow the progress of the work in | | the opposite tunnel. He would thus ;hfi able to tell when blasts were to he | fired | Occasionally churn-drill dropped from the surface workings for running pipes and for| ventilation When these borings | come for considerable distances they | sometimes drift, and instead of break- ing through into the workings, they come down into the solid . The question then is to locate them and to determine whether or not the hole ig | deep enough to come into the work- | |ings. Here the geoephone finds a useful field, for not only the direction of the hole, but its elevation can be determined accurately. It is well known that when the bit of a diamond drill has disappeaered below the surface there is no simple method for determining the course it may have taken As these Dbits| nearly always drift away from a straight course, any instrument mak- ing it possible to follow this drift will chviously be valuable holes to mine are Use in Cave-Ins. No attempt has been made to adapt the geophone to determine the earth movements that sometimes cccur in deep mines and are termed “bumps’ by the miners. It is probable, how- ever, that this instrument may be of | uee in certain parts of the anthracite coal flelds where cave-ings have de. stroyed mine workings, causing loss of life, surface, subsidence, and injury and destruction of buildings The manifest advantage of the geo- phone for use in mine rescue work has led the Bureau of Mines to place the instruments on {its mine-rescue cars, which are constantly being called to assist in the succor en- tombed men at mine fires ex- plosions.

Columbus, Ohio, July 25 (By Aseo- ciated Press).—The opening day's racing of the midsummer Grand Cir- cuit meeting here yesterday afternoon was featured by the splendid per. formance of Margaret Dillon in win- ning the Elks'’ Home 2:04 pace and original favorites in two of the three other events. Margaret Dillon won the Elks Stakes in straight heats, her average time being 2:01 1-4 for each mile and equaling her world's record performance at Toledo two weeks ago, when she paced the three fastest ‘heats ever paced by a mare {n a race. Grace Direct was the pool favorite to win, with Margaret Dillon barred. Esta G. was easily mistress of her field in the 2:18 pace. Lee Tide, an- other favorite, also disposed of the 2:17 trotters. The fourth event, the 2:12 trot, saw Princess Etawah, a first choice beaten by Barron Worthy RADIO INTO HONDURAS.

Period of Readjustment IS in Pro- Stockholm, July 25—"“The period of readjustment is in progress, and a new business cycle has begun.” The gen- cral economic and commercial condi- tions of Sweden are thus summarized | by tha Swedish Foreign Office in its quarterly review just issued. Based on 1eports {rom the leading financial and industrial concerns of the coun- try, although characterized by the most conservative appraisal of the general business situation, the review sirikes on the whole a decidedly op- timistic note. Taxes Reduced. It points out that this year's budget has been marked by reductions is all the groups of public expenditures, that direct taxation has been reduced, and that further reductions of rail- way freight and postal charges are being made Liquidation, the most important| phase of the deflation process, ap-| pears to be largely over, according to the review, as gathered from the mar- | ked rise in the price of {industrial| stocks, and the long and hard fought| process of adjusting wage levels seems i be nearing its conclusicn. The review calls attention to the pronounced stabilization of the ex- change rate in the nejghborhood of | par, while the purchasing price in- dex parity between the United States and Sweden shows a very marked re- turn to normal conditions. Business Revival. Recent report from Sweden's key industries confirm rhe forecast brighter conditions, The iron and tex- tile ‘ndustries, hit ‘by the post-war depression, show increasing signs of revival ber industry reports export sal amounting to over 425000 standards, | which is many times the figure report- ed for the first half of last year. ron ore export reports show unusual- ly heavy fignres, while the woodpulp industry is working at 70 to 80 per cent of capaclty. The mechanical industries are still suffering under the post-war reaction, the numuper of workers having de- creased to less than half of the 1920 figures. But there, also, signs of bet- terment are visible, The last weekly Riksbank report shows a notable de- crease in the quantity of paper cur- tency in cirenlation, thus indicating an increased stabillzation of the mone- tary situation.

Stockholm, July 26—Premier Brant- ing of Sweden believes that a per- manent peace has settled over north- iern Europe; that is Scandinavia and that bolshevism will never make any inroads {n this part of the world. These thoughts appear in an inter- view in The Nation. In answer to the question whether bolshevism could successfully invade Scandinavia, Mr. Branting said: “Certainly not, for according to my opinion, the bolsheviki have already seen their best days, and bolshevism may definitely be sald to be on the decline.” Aked whether he believed in last- ing peace in the north, the premfer said: “I have reason to believe so. We have no cause here for military ad- ventures."” The premier doubted that the na- tionalist movement in the Scandin- avian countries would ever give rise to an armed conflict.
