Discovery of deposits of mercury In Arkansas adds another Important metal to that states list of mineral resources. New domestic mercury deposits are important because more mercury Is used In the United States than In d any other country, and more than of the domestic consumption now must be Imported from Europe, says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. Mercury has been known for at least 2,500 years, but It's wide use Is a development of recent centuries. Today it Is employed In about a thousand ways. A thin stream of the silvery liquid metal sealed In a glass thermometer tube, has long been mans aid In determining temperatures ; In barometers, weather forecasters depend upon it to foretell changes In weather; in altimeters, It aids aviators to determine how high they are flying; and marine engineers use it In meters to estimate the flow of water. Mercury often does its best work where man least expects it The life of many a sleeping voyager is guarded by huge lighthouse beacons that revolve on floating mercury bearings, and many toothaches have been avoided by gold or silver amalgam teeth fillings made possible by mercury.

Radio programs are amplified In American living rooms by radio tubes In the manufacture of which mercury had a part, and many electrical devices used in modern buildings were produced with the aid of mercury. One of the most outstanding recently developed uses of mercury Is in power plants. The new plant uses mercury vapor Instead of steam. Now and then mercury Is found In Its liquid metal state but more often It appears In a red mercury-sulphu- r ore called cinnabar, from which the metal is extracted by a roasting process. .

A spotlight for air traffic control has been perfected by the aeronautics branch of the United States Department of Commerce. The projector, which resembles an overfat pistol, works on the same principle as ground traffic lights at street crossings. It throws a red or green beam and thus can be used to signal a pilot whether or. not to land. Of course, other forms of signaling may be devised. Col. Clarence M. Young, assistant secretary of commerce in charge of aeronautics, recently conducted a flight over Washington to test the new projector. An assistant stood on the ground holding the light while the plane flew from 2,000 to 3,000 feet overhead, and at as great a distance as six miles from the airport. The projector operator manipulated the trigger which controls the light, and the beam shifted from greed to red and red to green. By means of sights the operator could spot the plane and direct the beam at it The beam was clearly discernable to the occupants of the plane. The departments new device gives a beam of 37,000 candlepower, which makes It visible day or night at great distances, and even though the visibility be poor. fingerprints, with accompanying 'data, are immediately sent on to Washington by the local police. There search of the files is made to determine whether identical prints are already on file under the same name, or some alias. So efficient Is the classifying and filing system ' that ' the average search requires but from three to five minutes. Often the "offender Is discovered to have committed a crime In another part of the country. Out of every 100 sets of prints sent to Washington previous records are found In 37 cases and data on the offenders past life is reported back te the local author-- , itles within 4S hours. Beginning July 1 all applicants for United States government Jobs will be required to submit to fingerprinting.
