Ten mil«-* of thin steel wire, wound on a spool will carry President Harding's inau­ gural speech to posterity. In the office of Representative Fordnoy. 250 feet away from the platform on which the president stood, were th«' machines, combinations of telegraph telephone, and dictaphone, that re­ corded the sounds of the event. Using three machines, two com­ plete rec.-rds of his speech, the ap­ plause and music were obtained. Each of these spools contain five miles of wire, and one will ta .pre­ sented to the national museum and the other to Mrs. Harding. By running these wires through the reproducing machine 50 or lOu years from now, Harding's speech will tw heard bv those now not evet boin, and in conjunction with the motion pictures of the event a com­ plete ami authentic story of the •vent will ta had. The dictaphones, plugged into the telegraphones, picket! up the speech that had been inci eased in volume by loud sneaking telephones installed on the stands. The miles of wire were magnetised in such a way that when the machine was reversed the sounds that went into it were repro duced accurately and distinctly. The telegraphone which did the recording was invented by Valdemar Poulson. a Dane, some years ago. Il does not employ needles or wax discs but obtains the record by magnetiz­ ing the steel wire. The dictaphone When a wild duck derides to move from his summer home in the Cana­ dian wilds he neglects to leave a for­ warding address to indicate wheat his winter quarters are tn ta estab­ lished. The bureau of biological survey. U.

Sure . Wash., D C ” When a banded duck ia killed, the hunter removes the Land and re­ turns it to the Biological Survey with information showing when and where the bird was recovered. During the past autumn a Cana­ dian collaborator of the Survey op­ erated a duck trap at take Scugog. Ontario, where he capture I and banded over 200 biack ducks and mallards, with a few ring necked ducks and blue-winged teal. Some of these were killed near th«* place where they were banded, but others were from such localities as to indi­ cate approximately the routes taken by these birds In their journey to the southland. In all about 25 of these ducks have been killed and the bands returned from points in Ohio. Indiana, Ken­ tucky. Tennessee. Arkansas. Missis­ sippi, Louisiana and Texas One of the blae-winged teals was killed near Port of Spain, Trinidad. British West Indies, more that 2500 miles from Lake Scugog, where the band was attached. The systematic banding of birds as undertaken by the biological sur­ vey will furnish con« rvationiats i with much valuable information. Boy Kill» Wildcat. On Sunday morning, Farm and Home Reminders.
