FINDS ROMANCE IS
NEW COLORIMETER
OUT OF EXPLORING
AIB TO INDUSTRY
Device Measures Color With
Extreme Precision.
Cambridge,
Mass.—Human
Judg­
ment In the measurement o f color has
been eliminated from Industry by a
new Instrument developed at the Mas­
sachusetts Institute o f Technology,
called n colorimeter, used for auto­
matically measuring the color o f any
substance rapidly und with extreme
precision.
In all previous Instruments human
Judgment has entered Into the match­
ing of an unknown color with a stand­
ard color, accuracy o f such color
matching depending entirely upon the
skill of the observer and the quality
o f light. It can only he made with
such Instruments by persons whose
color vision bus been carefully stand­
ardized.
The new colorimeter developed nt
Technology by Prof. Arthur C. Hardy
and Frederick \V. Cunningham o f the
department o f physics, does not de­
pend upon any human judgment, and
the accurate records of colors come
from the machine as fast as samples
can he fed to It. Tlie Importance of
such an Instrument lies In Its value
to Industry, in nearly every branch of
which control o f color of its prod
ucts Is necessary.
Accurate measurement of color Is
the first concern of manufacturers of
fabrics, particularly In the delicate
shades which often deceive the eye.
Color control Is also of bnslc Impor­
tance In making of Inks, dyes, paper,
and many other commodities. In the
manufacture o f confections, one com­
pany alone makes chocolates In 715 dif­
ferent colors, each of which must he
kept at a standard shade.
Makes Record on Paper.
The new machine not only measures
color accurately, but makes a record
on paper by which It Is possible to
match that shade at nny time.
A powerful optical system and elec­
trical devices are employed In regis­
tering color by this machine. The speci­
men color placed In the holder Is Il­
luminated by a special tungsten fila­
ment lamp which gives an Illumina­
tion 50 times more Intense than full
sunlight. Water filters are used to
prevent the light from setting fire to
the sample. In making the measure­
ment,
magnesium
carbonate, • the
whitest substance known, is used ns
trie standard o f comparison. Light Is
alternately reflected from the speci­
men and the magnesium carbonate
and acts upon a photo-electric cell In
which It sets up an alternating cur­
rent.
Amundsen to Devote Time to
Lecturing.
Moscow.—Capt. Itould Amundsen
the man who had peeped at the
top and bottom o f the world. Is
through.
“ The alrplune and dirigible have
taken the romance out o f exploration,"
lie said.
“ Dog sleds nowadays fly
through the air. The good old times
when terrific hardships were a pleas

“ The man who starts north or
south In u dog team today feels like

In the old days dragged a toil of hard­
tack over the Ice and were glad to
munch every crumb.”
Though resolved to spend the rest
of his life lecturing amid the luxu­
ries of civilization, Amundsen be­
lieves there is much to be done.
The eleven-day train trip across the
steppes o f Siberia put him In a reflec­
tive mood, tie waited live days for
the weekly express at Vladivostok and
it pulled into Moscow three und a
half hours late.
“ Has anybody started to dig a hole

"Think
of the unlimited possibilities of such
a venture. We go down a couple of
thousand feet and bring up limitless
treasures. There must he something
or nothing In the 8,000 miles down

Judged by comparative develop­
ments up to the present time, Amund­
sen pinned his hopes for future com­
mercial and scientific flying on the
dirigible as against the airplane.
With a little greater perfection of
maneuvering apparatus, he said he

stoop to put on her

to do her work,
unable to go out ot
doors or enjoy a
friendly chat with
her neighbors, life
seemed dark Indeed
to Mrs. Daugherty.
Then one day, a
booklet was left at
she turned the
pages. Soon she was reading with
quickened Interest. The little booklet
was filled with letters from women In
conditions similar to hers who had
found better health by taking Lydia E.
Pinltham's Vegetable Compound.
“ I began taking the Vegetable Com­
pound,” Mrs. Daugherty writes, “and
after I took the third bottle, I found re­
lief. I am on my eleventh bottle and
I don't have that trouble any more,
and feel like a different woman. I
recommend the Vegetable Compound to
everyone I see who has trouble like
mine, and you can use these facts as
a testimonial. I am willing to answer
