Plenty of Opportunities For Would Bo

The world la full of would be Edi

out is that quite a lot of them are
could be Edisous.
A man invented the stocking frame
for weaving silk stockings, lie got the
idea while he sit watching his wife
work. But surely be wasn't the first
man who sat and watched bis wife
work.
There is a huge fortune for the man
who can commercialize eveeds. The
raw material is inexhaustible, for it
renews itself automatically every year.
It might pay a reader in the paper
making trade to follow up this idea.
Tbeu we want a paint that will last
as long as the material upon which it
is placed and an iron that won't rust.
We want something that will counter
act the wearing effect of the atmos
phere. It’s going to be invented some
day. and it may ns well be done now,
and you who read this may as well be
the person to do it.
In some remote corner of the earth
today a could be Edison may be ex
perimenting with the possibilities of
cities on the sea. There are millions
of square miles of water that are more
or less wasted, and sooner or later, as
the land area of the earth becomes
crowded, people will Inevitably take to
cities on the sea.
Above ail. keep your eyes on Nature,
who Is continually making inventions
which she never protects with patents.

FREE FALLING.
Just Collapse, Drop Limply and You
May Escape Serious Injury.
It was stated in a description of a
recent aeroplane mishap that the avia
tor had time to clamber to the upper
struts of his machine and that when
the crash came be was practically un
hurt the landing wheels and lower
part of the machine receiving and ab
sorbing the shock.
Flying men, too. in the early days
of aviatiou frequently leaped from
failing machines and escaped with
minor injuries. There is a knack in
eaping and an art in falling, and ath
;eses and aviators know both It is to
"fall free' and to offer no resistance
or as little as possible
It is not Providence that specially
guards drunken men and little children
w&eu they topple They collapse, and
as the muscles nnd sinews are not
drawn taut and no resistance offered,
but little damage aDd frequently none
results The bone of a limp arm
would need some force to be applied
before it broke A "resisting" arm
would snap almost at once In a fall
all attempts to recover one's balance
if unsuccessful, mean greater damage
Let yourself collapse—fall limply—and
you may escape serious injuries, it is
the strain and wrench on muscles and
sinews which make the bones snap.
Fall anyhow. Don't try to save your
seif—and you wilt—London Answers.

Because of ball bearing typebarthe keys respond as readily

—no lifting of a heavy carriage but simply shifting the light
typebar segment, thus insuring absolute accuracy.
No fingers can move too fast for this machine—there isn’t one

SUBMERGED SUBMARINES.
8igns by Which They May Be Located
From an Aeroplane.
Jn answer to a correspondent who
asks to what <• ,i man in un aero
plane can watch he movements of a
submerged submarine boat the Scien
tific American replies:
“We have consulted a naval aero
nautic expert on the visibility of sub
marine's from an aeroplane. lie states
that If the surface of the water Is
smooth and the water Is fairly clear
a submarine can ordinarily be observed
visually from on aeroplane at any
depth the submarine Is likely to travel,
which Is usually not over 100 feeL
Experiments have been made at Guan
tanamo. Cuba, and Annapolis, Md.. and
In the latter case the submarines were
able to avoid observation at first by
sinking to a muddy bottom. But the
aviators soon learned to pick them out
by some sign, suck, for example, as es
cape of air bubbles."
In another article on the subject the
Scientific American says that when the
sea is rough It is much more difficult
1$ dhu/yrn a submarine. The captain
•
of n wUrsTSIp can watcTi tho eiJursctJT ft
submarine by the bubbles It sends to
the surface when the sea Is smooth,
but these bubbles are scarcely discern
ible when the sea Is choppy. Hm dis
turbed surface Inevitably makes ft more
difficult for an observer In an aero
plane to see wbat Is going on below.,
