That Is what it would hp if it msro .Tiacnified with one of the lat- - est testing devices ior mobile parts. auto- One of the wonders of modern mechanical engineering is the routine measurement of finely finished surfaces so smooth that magnification of the order of 50,000 times is necessary. So exacting have become the demands of modern machine shop practice that the working n surfaces of bearings, for instance, require great accuracy and smoothness. Surface irregularities less than a hundred thousandth are sf an inch (10 micro-inchecause for rejection. A machine that measures so finely with the rapidity necessary in actual production, has been achieved. The profllometer, as it is called, has a tiny point that traces the most molecular surface irregularities. This varies the current flowing through a magnet and this current is sent through special amplifiers and circuits. Thus, electrically, there is created that high magnification necessary. Record Written by Light. The magnified replica of the surn recface desired is the ord of the oscillograph into which the current is fed. If a permanent record is desired, a motion picture camera is aimed at the waving light line of the oscillograph. How far machine shop precision has traveled during the age of pow er will be realized when It Is re pealled that Watt, inventor of the steam engine, was elated when he found that Wilkinson's boring mill could machine an engine cylinder true to within the thickness of a shilling. The dawn of precision in machin ery came when the system of inter changeable prts was adopted early in the last century. Arms factories in Connecticut pioneered in measur ing accurately with gauges. With accuracy increased many fold, this is the principle that under lies the machine age of today. anti-frictio- light-writte- Asbestos Is Costly and America Hasn't Much of It Asbestos, magic Washington. wicking material once used in the wicks of the larrms tended bv the Vestal virgins of Rome, and now a part of uii Btuve, aa nearly evcrjr idiuier not a single mineral, but a trade term applied .to a number of fibrous materials. Dr. Oliver Bowles, of the United States bureau of mines, told the Geological society of Wash ington. Commonly found associated with serpentine rocks, from which it is formed by alteration and recrys tallization, asbestos varies in value fibers from $750 a ton for inch-lon- g of chrysotile (a very high grade), down to less than the cost of mining d for the poorer grades, The greatest problem in asbestos production. Doctor Bowles said, is to separate the asbestos from the rock without breaking the fibers. Not well supplied with asbestos, the United States has commercially' productive deposits only in Vermont and Arizona. Most of our supply today is imported from Canada, with the other producers South Africa and Soviet Russia sending small amounts. ever-burn-t- short-fibere- Problem Child Needs New Teaching Ways Until Mind Matures By MARJORIE VAN DE WATER Defiant, Detroit, Mich. restless, truant, and subject to temper outbursts. That is a picture of what school offi cials know as a ' problem child." It Is also a typical picture of a child who has failed in learning to read, write and cipher particularly to read. Dr. Charles L. Vaughn, of Detroit's Psychopathic clinic, has learned from a study of boys at the Wayne County Training school. These boys were from twelve to fifteen years old and yet tests showed them to be below grade three in reading. In other words they had spent about nine years In school trying to learn to read without success. It is hard to realize the insult that such a prolonged failure is to the sensitive nature of a child. If he cannot learn to add, that is to some extent at least a private matter between his teacher, his parents, He can hide those and himself. arithmetic papers with the damning zeros. But when it comes to reading, he is asked to stand . up before the whole class and demonstrate almost daily his weakness. Shouldn't Be Humiliated. If you have struggled with an in come tax blank, a difficult crossword puzzle, or one of those baffling Oriental cut-u- p puzzles, you know the exasperation that can result from failure even when no audience jeers at your mistakes. A child should not be forced to learn to read and to try to master other school subjects until his mind has matured sufficiently to make it possible, is Doctor Vaughn's con clusion. Teachers should try new methods of instruction with the child who is not learning, or else the child should be given another type of program. such as handwork, that he can mas ter. No child should be forced to sub mit to ignominious failure until bis whole personality is disorganized and catastrophe brings him to the psychopathic clinic. Future Apple Trees Will Grow From Own Roots Washington. Apple trees of the future, breaking precedent with ap ple trees of today, may grow on their own roots, experiments conducted by United States Department of Agriculture scientists indicate. Government experimenters have succeeded in inducing stem cuttings of desirable varieties of apples to send out roots. Dr. F. E. Gardner, in charge of nursery stock Investi gation for the bureau of plant Industry, reports. In the past the apple tree has been an assembled article with the part grafted on to a common root-stoc- k such as the French crab variety. This was necessary because seedlings do not produce true to variety and because cuttings of stem tissues would not take root. Springtime taping of the growing root with black tape right up to the growing tip or enclosing the shoot in a black tube so changes the shoot that it will take root when removed from the tree in the fall. It is only necessary to make the basal cut. Doctor Gardner declares, before planting. fruit-produci- Double Set of Ears Given Salamander by Grafting Pittsburgh. Four ears, growing where normally only two would grow, were what Prof. Ross G. Harrison of Yale university, newly-electe- d chairman of the National Research council in Washington, D. C, reported here at the meeting of the American Association of Anatomists. Professor Harrison obtained his extraordinary results through experiments with early embryonic stages of salamanders. A part of the side of the head region was removed, and a piece of tissue from the abdominal region set into influences its place. Organ-formin- g head tissues from surrounding caused the development of small but otherwise normal internal ear structures in this transplanted piece. tissue-- Hot River Carries Away Radioactive Materials New York.

Wil-liar- TIMES-NEW- NEPHI. UTAH S, PAGE THREE STORIES Star Dust Summer's Emancipation King Arthur's Death Told in Tennyson Tale Parade) ( By ELIZABETH C. JAMES TN'THE last days of King Arthur, his men were led in revolt against him by the traitorous knight. Sir Modred. Warfare had continued many months and the time had now come for the last struggle. Among those faithful to the king was the knight, Sir Bedi-vernow constant companion to the lonely and aged king. Overlooking the camps which were arrayed for battle, the king thought sorrowfully of his knights whom he was now fighting. His heart was heavy as the battle began, relates Lord Tennyson in his story. "The Death of King Arthur." On every side there was strife to the death until the field was strewn with men. At the point of Excali-bu- r. King Arthur's famous sword. Sir Modred met his end. But, alas. King Arthur was sorely wounded. Carefully Sir Bedivere carried his king off the field. But King Arthur knew that now he was to die. Calling his loyal knights to him, he requested Sir Bedivere to carry Excal-ibu- r down to the Elizabeth lake front and throw James it into the water. The knight thought this a strange request, but he lifted the treasured sword and went his way to the lake. Standing beside the water. Sir Bedivere thought of the needless waste of so many jewels and of so much beauty and he hid Excalibur in a tree. When Sir Bedivere stood again before him, King Arthur asked what he had seen when the threw the sword into the water. Sir Bedivere answered, "The rippling of the waves." "Betrayer!" cried the king. "Do as I bid you!" Standing again beside the water the knight thought: the king is ill and does not know what he says, so I will hide the sword. Accordingly, :J : - ' "BEAUTIFUL" LIFE Alfred, Lord Tennyson, lived a life as beautiful and unreal in its romanticism as that of any hero in his King Arthur stories. The drowning of Arthur Hal-laTennyson's college friend who understood and encouraged the sensitive poet, caused Tennyson to suffer a nervous collapse and to live ten years in retirement. At the end of that time he presented for publication "In Memoriam," an elegy to Arthur Hallam, a poem said to have brought more comfort to sorrowing people than any other poem. Tennyson was not wealthy, and he and his sweetheart wanted to leave the path of his "life open for writing instead of trying to earn a less precarious livelihood, so they waited many years before marriage was possible. Speaking of his marrying Emily Sellwood be said, "On the day I married her, the peace of God entered into my soul." At the death of Wordsworth, Tennyson was made Poet Laureate of England, having long enjoyed the friendship of Queen Victoria. After that be was so besieged by sightseers, that he was forced to move to the Isle of Wight, which place is now famous for having been his home. Tennyson died in 1892, at the age of eighty-three. he once more placed it safely away. The second time the king asked what he had seen and the knight gave the same answer as before, "The rippling of the waves." With great effort King Arthur cried, "If you do not do as I command, I will kill you with my own hands!" Sir Bedivere ran to the lake, wheeled the sword high, and with all his might, hurled it into the lake. Instantly an arm clothed in rich apparel rose from the lake, caught the sword, brandished it three times and drew Excalibur under the waves. When the king had heard what Sir Bedivere had seen, his soul was satisfied. Then he made his last request of his knight, that Sir Bedivere would assist him to reach the shores of the lake. Old Order Changeth. When the king stood beside the waters, there appeared in the distance a barge. Nearer and nearer it came, until the richness of the black draperies could be seen. Three queens weeping in lamentation stood on the bow looking toward King Arthur, Sir Bedivere supported his king, until the outstretched arms of the queens assisted King Arthur to take his place on the barge. Slowly the barge began to leave the shore. Standing alone as King Arthur moved Into the distance. Sir Bedivere cried out, "I am left alonel What shall I do?" Kindly answered the king, "The old order changeth, giving place to new Pray for me, for more things are wrought by prayer than this " world dreams of So ended the life of King Arthur, for many years ruler over the Round Table. , Bell Syndicate WNU Scrvlc.
