Each table was decorated with fris, buttercups, snowdrops and blue lilies. A silver cross with purple ribbon was at each plate. During the dinner hour Mrs. G. T. Rob- bins of East Thompsou told the story of the King’s Daughters’ hall. This enter- prising circle saw the need of such a community house and for six years the members have enjoyed the fruit of their labors. Her story was most interesting and at its close Mrs. Prior asked all to rise and sing The Doxology as a rededi- cation of the bulding. The afterrioon service was opened by Mrs. Ray Evan Butterfield of Worces- ter, who led the devotional service. She gave an address on Enduring Ideals. During the last few . years, and at the present restless period, cveryone must feel the need of holding fast to those discovered that The Bluebirds had mail- ed their letter Saturday afternoon and the Comfort circle Sunday afternoon.

An expansion pyrometer using tin as the expansion element hasepeen develop- | ed and placed on the market by an American company. Advantage has been taken of the fact that the thermal ex- pansion curve of tin is practically a straight line. In this new pyrometer, tin is contained in a graphite bulb much as you would contain mercury in a glass | tube in a mercury thermometer. The tube up which the melting tin rises is an open system of graphite. Readings are made | by lowering the plunger with a metal of ; 2 high meiting point at the lower end, | this /metal - making eletrical contact | with the rising tin, closing a circuit. | Readings are then made in one or two ‘ways. If you would want to know when 15,000 “deg. Cent. is attained yollf would set the pointer on the scale at 0 deg. Cent. ‘When the tempe: ture is reached a buzzer or any ios of electrical alarm, is set tion.. To find the temperature time the pointer is lowered on scale until the: alarm rings.

Tests carried out in the River Mer- sey, Enghnd, with the Clarkson tidal turbine have : shown that electrical power can be obtained from tidal cur- Tents at an’ estimated cost of less than two cents per unit. The turbine con- sists of rows of buckets or paddies at- tached {o endless -chairs, these run- ning over ;' sprockets _mounted on floating framework. - There is. thus lower row of buckets immersed in the water, and an upper -row out of the water travelling in_the opposite direc- tion. It is thé pressure of the current acting on_the buckets which causes the sprocket shafts to fotdte and so.enable a dynamio or other apparatus to be driv- en. By the use of reversable mechanism. the turbine may be adated for generat- ing energy equally well on an ebbing or a flowing tide. The apparatus is also applicable to non-tidal _streams where the velocity of flow is two miles per hour or more. In such cases the cost of power may be even less than in the tidal type as the turbine can remain in operation during the whole 24 hours. Does Look That Way.
