Ilex I. m.ted physicist of the bureau who lias devoted years of careful observation Iti the same vault to determine the weight <?f the earth. The new task is expected to require several years and to provide a new standard for gravity measurements over the t'niied States. The constant now In use was est ah llshed at Potsdam, Germany, more than, twenty five years ago after eight years of ineasurements with extremely delicate Instruments to ascertain as precisely as possible at that time the rate of acceleration of a falling body under the pull of gravity. The Get* man physicists concluded that a full ing body at sen level at the Kquator would be ueeelerated 32.0S7fi feet a second In a vacuum. That, applied with a mathematical formula, became, and still is, the standard of comparison to measure the distance of any spot from the center of the earth, hut time has passed, knowledge bus Increased and Instruments have been Improved. Precision Is Requirement. The difficulty of the new undertaking lies principally In the requirement for precision within an extremely minute rage of probable error. Tf it were not for that the skill of the laboratory would not he needed, for the work, on its face, Is little more than a matter of letting pendulums swing In a vacuum. Gravity makes a pendulum swing. The speed of the swings In a vacuum depends on the length of the pendulum and Its distance from the center of the earth, where the mass of the planet. In its gravitational effect, acts as if it were concent rated. The constant of gravity at any point can ho determined by measuring precisely the length and speed of a swinging pendulum In a vacuum. The i farther the point of measurement is from the center of the OnrtH~" the shorter the pendulum must he to I swing In the sumo periods, the value Increasing two-millionths of a foot a second for each 1,000 feet above sea level. By measuring different points with such pendulums the scientists are aide to build up a comprehensive picture of the elevations and depres slons which characterize the earth's surface and thus visualize its actual shape.

RETINA <0F EYE IS SENSITIVE DETECTOR Vision Requires Small Fraction of Energy. Beaton.? If man |>ai<l for optical energy at ttie- rate charged for electricity for do/nestlc use, his vision would cost tiluj IetiM than one trllllonth of a trllllontk of a cent per second. '1Mb energy used every second for weeing ia the millionth part of the millionth of an erg. It takes about 1,000 ergs to lift a thirtieth of an ounce half uu Inch. l?r, Charles ft heard, director of physics and biophysical research of the Mayo foundation at Rochester, Minn., mude these revelations of minute quantities before the American Optometrist association In convention here. Llka s Radio Receiver. "The retina of the .eye," he said, 'Ms one of the most sensitive energy receivers and detectors known. It may he thought of an a radio receiver, althought it does not respond to stimulation by ordinary waves, for it is a very selective set and Is tuned to radiant energy of wave lengths within a single octave, lying between four and eight ten-mllJlSnths of a meter or yard. These waves, (Ike radio waves, travel at a speed of 180,000 miles a second and are the shorter sisters of the much taller ones we have christened radio. "The sensitivity of the eye is extraordinary. Employing the Einstein equation of the energy required to cause the expansion of a single electron with a ray of green light, we may conclude that a single energy quantum for green light is sufficient to excite vision. "This is saying that the liberation of a single electron in the retina by a green or blue light can excite the sensation of vision in the brain. A millionth of a millionth of an erg per second is the energy or power necessary for vision. Millionth of a Millionth. "Since it requires the millionth part of the millionth of an erg to cause the emission of one electron at the retina and thus to set up the sensation of vision, then we know that if -these thousand ergs to which we have referred could be used up at the rate of a millionth part of the millionth of an erg and if there were no dissipation or loss of energy an eye would have something of the order of a million I years of vision. Indeed, It seems al- ! most incredible and inconceivable. "But the millionth of a millionth of an erg Is a mighty small amount, of energy. No more startling, however, than the statement made by an American Nobel prize winner in physics, when he says that the number of electrons contained in the quantity of electricity which courses through an ordinary incandescent lamp and for which oijp should pay, If such were possible, one hundred thousandth of a cent is so large that if all of ttie several million inhabitants of Chicago were to begin to count out these electrons and wore to keep counting them at (lie rate of two a second, and if none of them were ever to stop, sleep, or die, It would take them Just 20,000 years to finish the task." Old-Fashioned Thrift Staging Big Comeback Chicago.?IMain. old-fashioned thriftlness is staging a lug comeback In the American home. The present year will see all previous records for efficient spending by housewives eclipsed hands down, according to Dr. II. E. Barnard of Washington. famous authority on food and pioneer worker In the drafting of America's pure food and drug laws. "Reasons for the present trend toward careful consideration of the pennies are sound and have little relation to paper losses In Wall- Street." declared Doctor Barnard, in an address here. "The modern woman has learned business methods and she Is merely putting her knowledge to use. Wasting dollars isn't good form. An so millions of mothers in well-organlted and efficiently operated homes are buying with careful thought of the real values In food, furniture, clothing, atid other necessity that contributes to the fnmily health and happiness." h Arkansas to Have World's Largest Fish Hatchery Lonoke, Ark. ?

Frank Hart, until recently general grand maater of the general grand council, Royal and Select Master# of Masonry, was yesterday elected general grand recorder of the organization, according to a telegram received in fkAumbia yesterday from Tacoma, Wanh., where "there is being held a meeting of the general grand chapters, Koyal Arch Masons, and the general grand^council of Koyal and Select Masters, The term of office is for three years and the election of Mr, Hart to this important post is further recognition of his long service to Masonry and his faitiifnl and meritorious j discharge of the duties of the offices , he has held. The election means that the office i of general grand recorders will be in Columbia and that the headquarters of the general grand council for the United States, numbering nearly a million persons, will, be in this city. The,' organization was founded in | August, 1880, and since that time! there have been but three general , grand recorders. George W. Oooley of Minnesota was the first to hold j this office; he was succeeded by Ben F. Hallar of Tennessee, who served until 1883. Next was Henry W. Mordhurst, of Indiana, who served from 1886 until his death in October 1028, 'when John Lee of Sumter was appointed to fill out the term. Mr. Hart was elected yesterday at the beginning of the new term and now holds the office. Attention, Voters! I wish to thank the voters of Kershaw county for the support they gave me in the race for auditor. Ah though I am defeated I am happy to know that I have many friends who wished me well. I am not wearing a long face because of my defeat, but a smile to prove my appreciation for the encouragement given me. Owing to the fact that my opponents were older and stronger because of their long business experience, and realizing that I was not as well known as either because of these facts, I con- ' sider I made a splendid run. Therefore, I am not discouraged, and should I be spared four years from now I will again come before you as a candidate fo? auditor. I wish it was my privilege to thank each voter personally, but since this is impossible, I assure each of you that the support you gave me is highly appreciated.1 And again I thank you, one and all. j Willie Moore.
