Italy (UP) Strengthening of the foundations of the Leaning Tower of Plu which have boon car ried out In ercat secrecy for several months will protect the famous monument for many years to come, It was learned today. Recent surveys showed that the tower has leaned 4 30 meters out of perpendicular and has been bendlin at the rate of approximately one mlllmeter a year. Cement Injertlons. Ennlneers have been Injecting mix tures of liquid cement, stone and marble Into the tower s foundations. These Injections are carried out under around and are made with powerful syringes. The . liquid mixture, which fills rrevlccs. solidifies quickly and work men are unable to chip it with chisels. Many hundreds of liquid cement "shots" have been Injected, most of them under the south side toward which the tower leans. The present secreey surrounds the work so the ministry of public works has been relieved of receiving thousands of letters and telegrams suggesting wayB to Insure the towor's permanence. Noise I.Ike Hind. While no workmen are seen around the tower tho strange sounds of the syringes, which creates noises simi lar to the wind In a storm may be heard. ' Engineers have found the general condition of the tower to be good, despite Its 791 years. The monument Is an elght-story bell tower. 188 feet In height. It was constructed during three perlcds. During the first stage only the ground floor and first three galleries were built. Following construction, which en gineers and architects have agreed was of strictly perpendicular design, the ground at the base began to move so that the tower leans to the south. In addition to this elements of nature, surh as rain, wind, sun and cold have played their part In ran!nr: the tower to lean.

Tht federal government may have Its Indices for menaurlng end estimating the status of business. Wall Street may buy or sell stock on the strength of re ports dealing with steel tonnage. enr loadings and kilowatt hours and economists may base their prognosti cations upon the ups and downs ol retail trade curves, but Sardine creek Is content to JudRe conditions In the outside world by Its own barometer, the House of Mystery. When business Is poor, the num ber of tourists who wend their way up the creek rond to solve the mys teries of tho queer shanty that once served as the nnsny office of the Gray Eagle mine registers s decline. When business picks up. so does the number of visitors to the house show an Increase. It Is a good barometer, the House of Mystery, say the local residents. They (eel encouraged, therefore, with the report of John Lttster. owner of the tourist attraction, that business at tho house la at present running about 50 per cent ahead of what it was a year ago. IS BUILT BY JEWELER YORK. Neb. (UP) A tiny electric motor, no larger than fly and weighing but a quarter of an ounce, has been built by Emanual Kahm. Jeweler here. It Is said to be the smallest motor In the world. Many of the motor's 68 parts are constructed of U karat gold. It at tains a speed of between 400 and 500 revolutions per second snd runs long without overheating. The parts are held together by 10 screws, the largest of which has 320 threads to the Inch. So small ara the parts that Kahm used a magnifying glitss when con structing It. It Is operated from a three-volt battery and generates suf ficient power to drive a larger de vice used to Indicate the motor'a speed. The pulley belt Is made of one-third of a strand of No, 00 cot ton thread. MOSCOW (UP) A "safety strato stat" which. If falling too rapidly, can be converted Into an enormous parachute, is now under construc tion here and will, If present plans mature, make its first ascent this summer. Tills new giant balloon Is expected to circumvent the danger of too- rapid descent, which resulted In the death In 1094 of three Soviet scien tlste, crew of the stratostat after Oaokiakhlm-Syrus which crashed af ter reaching an attitude of 22 kilo- meters. Models Tested Several models of the new "safety stratostat" have been tested already by the Society for Aviation and Chemical Defense and the Society of Scientific and Technical Aviation En gineers, which are building the lam er bag. The tests were said to be sat isfactory In that they demonstrate.1 the feasibility of a bag which auto matically could be converted Into a parachute. In the demonstration tests two models, each having a gas capacity of 10 cubic meters, were taken aloft by other balloons, They were releas ed with varying amounts of gas 'n them. In one Instance there was vir tually no gas. The models naturally did not carry a crew, but the appa ratus which converted them Into a parachut worked automatically and in each ease they descended slowly enough for a safe landing. Secondary t'lirnchute The LL-1, as the new safety model 1 on will not plunee to earh even though Its fabric is torn This possible danger will be met by a secondary parachute mounted with in the larger bag which can be open ed If necessary. The LL-1 will not require the con siderable amount of ballast usually carried In stratosUits, but on'y enough to break the speed of descent before landing.
