Some may admire modern suspen sion bridges, others may marvel at ancient Roman viaducts, but only the Ponte Vecchio In Florence can call forth the emotion of love, declares a traveler recently returned from Italy. Of course, the chief charm of the Arno is due to its bridges, hut the queen of them all Is the quaint and lovely structure known as the Ponte Vecchio or Old bridge. It is old. Until 1080 It was built of wood, hut wooden bridges were car ried away and In 1345 Taddio Gaddi erected the present bridge. With a view of obtaining Income, the city shops were built on the two path ways. which ,-ere let to the butch ers of the town. In 151)3, Cosmo I ordered that the goldsmiths and Jewelers should take the place of the butchers and soon the Ponte Vecchio became the wealthiest street In Florence. An open space has been reserved In the center, from which can be had delightful views of the river, the eminence of San Miniato, the Cas- cine shrubberies and the mountains on the horizons. The Rialto bridge, tradition says. Is where Shy lock did his dally busi ness. Built first In the Twelfth cen tury, the present bridge goes back to 1591, and untli recently was the only bridge across Grand canal in Venice. "Dust Storms” Figure on All Pag es of History Records of drouth are readily traced In the rings of trees. There are records of other drouths in the plains as bad as or worse thun the present drouth. This Is not, how ever, au assurance to science.that we nmy now he witnessing the be ginnings of one of those deserts in which nature delights. It was when the Southwest became a desert that the Indians moved Into Mexico. Life follows the moisture-bearing air cur rents. When they passed from the region south of the Mediterranean to the region north of the Mediter ranean, life followed them. The As!- lower Mississippi valley, but the shortage of moisture has gone right on In the plains. Whether In Texas or Saskatchewan, the wind has only to rise and the dust Is blown. If any thing, the dust storms have been worse than ever in the last two months. They have actually buried fences, plied dust high nround houses and barns, covered up crops. They are destructive alike to man and beast. No form of life can withstand them day after day very long. Needless to say, the dust phenome non has greatly uttered the food sit uation In the United States. It af fects meats and grains. It Is In part responsible for the Increased cost of living. The AAA plan to limit the production of spring wheat has been abandoned. How can there be too much wheat when the whent states nre the chief victims of the dust? The drouth reduced corn last year orado. Heavy rains have flooded the atlcs have long been accustomed to packing up and following the mois ture-bearing winds. Science would not care to assert Its entire apprehensions of the dust storms In the western plains. They may be the consequence» of Just an other drouth. Or they may he the beginning of the end for all that region where the buffalo grazed. Sci ence knows what has happened. What Is to happen Is on the knees of the gods.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. E fficiency Im paired by A ny U nnecessary Noise Noise Is no longer regarded as a necessary evil and business execu tives are awakening to the fact that unnecessary noises Impair the effi ciency of workers, says Harold Ber lin, New York acoustical expert, ad ding: “ Noise Is the true murderer of thought and It has been proved that loud noises generally are harmful to the sense of hearing, impair the di gestive system, increase blood pres sure and respiration.” Noise Is measured by an acoustl- meter which registers lndecibels, a decibel being tl e slightest change In volume of sound which the human ear can distinguish. The human ear cannot stand, so science figures, a noise that registers more than 120 decibels. In one experiment Berlin picks up the noise of a buzzer with an ampli fier. It registers around 60 decibels. He takes a large tube, which Is lined with thick rock wool felt, passes it over the amplifier and the noise of the buzzer is barely audible. Science is coming to the point that it can ably combat noise and Berlin forsees widespread use of sound deadening equipment with a result ing increase of efficiency and enjoy ment of life on the part of office workers.
