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.
BRITISH PLANE TAKES
MEDICAL AID TO FINNS
London, Dec. 1. (IP) The
British Red Cross announced to
day that a plane laden with hos
pital supplies had arrived safe
ly in Finland. The wife of the

raised the funds to cover the
cost.

HEAT REGISTER
GIVES OLD SOL
12,300 DEGREES
Pasadena. Cal. (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.
