The temperature Is read, not with
a thermometer,, but with a metst
sheet shaped like a man's cuff and
about the same size, it Is two kinds
of metal, one overlapping the other,
each responding differently to ex
pansion and contraction due to tem
perature. So the cuff curls up more
as It gets warmer, and straightens
out more with a temperature drop.

WOODS HOLE. Maw. (AP) The
existence of Internal waves tn the
' sea U expected to be revealed through
studies with a new Instrument tn
use at the Woods Hole Oceanographtc
Institution.
The Internal waves, If they exist,
re not small like surface swells, but
more like tidal waves. Their surface
Is not more than 100 feet down. It
lies under the "homogeneous" layer
of top sea water, & layer created by
the churning of wind and waves, and
of differences In temperature, density
and salinity between the surface
water and the water below.
The "homogeneous" layer Is a sort
of restless, Neptune' blanket cover
ing the calm, cold depths. Man sees
beneath It only rarely. With a "glas
sy" sea It may almost disappear.
Swimmers ordinarily swim In this
blanket, but occasionally It gets so thin
their bodies break through Into the
colder water below.
Interest Weathermen
The Internal waves have some In
terest to weathermen, because of the
ories that they may resemble meteor
ological conditions believed to exist
In upper layers of the ocean of air
at the bottom of which man lives.
The new instrument was devised
by Prof. C. G. Rosa by of the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology. It
was nicknamed "the rat trap" by the
tailors of the Atlantic, the Oceano
grahlc Institution's vessel, from the
decks of which It Is operated.
The "rat trap" resembles a metal
suitcase, higher than It Is long. Low
ered over the side of the ship, it
reads water temperature and pres
sure simultaneously and automatic
ally. The pressure shows the depth.
So It makes a continuous record
of the Neptune blanket of water. No
other instruments have done this
easily and automatically. The old
method of measuring the depth of
wire submerged Is not accurate
enough when the current slants the
wire too much.
Records Written on Foil
The underwater records of tem
perature and pressure are written bj
one pen, a horizontal displacement
indicating temperature changes and a
vertical displacement changes in
depth. No writing fluid flows from
the pen. It scratches Its record in
a film of lamp black coated with oil.
and spread over the surface of a
metal foil as thin and flexible as
pnrr". j
After It comes out of the water,
the lamp black-oil film Is fixed as
firmly as a photograph by a bath of
alcohol and Bhellac.
The scratched line shows tempera
ture changes as slight as a tenth of
a degree, and changes In depth foot
by foot. The pressure is measured
WASHINGTON (UP) Approxi
mately 1,000,000 pairs of wooden shoei
are manufactured and consumed an
nually In the United States, the com
merce department reported.
The shoes chiefly are used by work,
ers in damp fields, factory workers
and theatrical people, the department
reports.
Manufacturers produce a wide va
riety of wooden shoes ranging from
women's and children's open san
dals to heavy work shoes for men.
Prices range from 91 a pair for all
wood sabot, to 11.50 for a pair of ox
fords. High wooden shoes range In
price from 91.75 to 93, the depart
ment said.
SACRAMENTO, Cal. (UP) Match
ing his speed against that of a rattle
snake, John Llcclardl, 21, CCC camp
enrol lee., snatched the reptile as It
struck and dashed It against a rock,
thereby winning the grim contest.
Llcclardl was working alone, at
tempting to pry a boulder from a new
road, when he heard a hissing rattle
behind him. He leaped to a shelving
rock ledge, dropping his crowbar. The
snake struck and he dodged. The
reptile coiled and struck again, and
this time the youth grasped its body
In midsection and threw it against a
rocky wall, crushing Its head.

friend warm and fragrant

A tip to eoffee lovers. Whatever the
method you use (Drip or Percolator), buy a coffee
prepared for that method. It's important. Here's why.
In a Drip Maker, boiling water drips only once
through a coffee prepared to yield iu flavor quickly.
In a Percolator, water passes many times through a
coffee prepared to yield its flavor slowly. No coffee
should try to serve both methods. "A Jack of all
trades is master of none." There are two Schilling
Coffees one for Drip one for Percolator.
