MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1939. PAGE FIVE I BY BRITISH LEARN Navy Confident of Finding Defense For New, Formid able German Sea Weapon Washington. Dec. 1. OP) Word has been received in au thoritative quarters here that the British navy is confident that means of defense can be devised for a new German mine which some experts consider the most formidable new weapon of the European war. A well-authenticated report said that the mine, blamed for heavy shipping losses recently, could be exploded by sound waves as well as magnetic force. British hopes of developing a defense were said to be based on this discovery. Several of the mines were recovered unexploded. They were reported to rest on the sea bottom, rather than to drift or remain attached to cables regulating their distance be neath the surface. Sensitive Trigger The British were said to have discovered that the firing mechanism was extremely sensi tive and that it would be sprung either by magnetic force or. through accoustical horns, by sound waves. The explosive charge was heavy enough to blast the hull of passing ships from a consider able depth, but the mines were most effective in comparatively shallow coastal waters. Apparently they were sown by mine-laying submarines, it was reported. They were placed at considerable distances apart in the North Sea, it was said, 'and then more mines were dropped in some instances by aircraft flying high enough not to detonate those already in place.

(U.R) Next time the bottom falls out of the thermometer and the winds whistle around the eaves, it might be consoling to know that at the same time the approxi mate temperature on the sun is 12.300 degrees Fahrenheit. Dr. John D. Strong. Califor nia Institute of Technology physicist, utilized a newly-invented optical pyrometer to rec ord accurately this temperature on the face of the sun. The pyrometer. Dr. Strong ex plained, measures the heat thrown off from the sun by re cording the intensity of its light waves. Heretofore this was im possible until the physicist in troduced the principle of the infra-red ray in his pyrometer. With the aid of these invisible rays, it is possible to gauge ac curately the intensity of the light rays given off by the sun. "Once we have captured the intensity of light of the sun's rays it is quite simple to meas ure by comparing with pre viously proved formulas the degree of heat existing at its source," Dr. Strong said.
