Submarine Begins Cruise to Weigh Crust of Earth Dutch Scientist's Invention Will Be Given Initial Trials on This Expedition
Washington, Oct. 3. - Using a submarine to weigh the earth's crust instead of to sink ships is the task about to be undertaken by the United States government at the marine institute Washington. On Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 2, three sailed from the navy yard here the submarine S-21, accompanied by two cake bombs, on most novel cruises ever underwater.
The submarine will be a floating gravity observatory. By means of an instrument invented by a Dutch scientist, Dr. F. A. Vennig Meinesz, of the preadoptive commission of Holland, measurements of the force of sea currents at sea will be first time. So important are these observations that Doctor Meinesz was invited to the United States by the Carnegie Institution. The navy department has now given him the use of the eagle bans and submarines for a period of seven months before cruising around the region of Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea. Assisting Doctor Meinesz are Dr. Fred E. Wright, of the Carnegie Institution's geophysical laboratory, and Elmer Collins, of
In order to know the exact shape of the earth, scientists must know the force of gravity, and the only way of measuring this is by acupuncture. Such measurements have been made on land for many years, but since the largest part of the earth's surface is covered with ocean, it left a huge unknown area. The motion of the ocean causes observations appear in sea.
Doctor Meinez decided to make use of a submerged submarine, which is much more steady than a ship on the surface. Instead of using a single pendulum, he used three, arranged as three arms, each of which the ship affects each pendulum, and each would give a very regular record if recorded separately, the combination of the two results in a record like that of a single, steady pendulum. The apparatus was tried on a Dutch submarine, in which two trips were made to the sea to then, one by way of the Suez canal, the other by way of Panama.
The importance of these observations is that they afford an indirect method of weighing blocks of the earth's crust, and Dr. William Bowle of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has a secure academic idea of the exact figure of the earth; and so provides data of fundamental importance to students of the earth. As the ocean is a favorite place for the occurrence of earth quakes, more expert knowledge of their机理 may prove of essential value.
Rheumatism Senses Rain
Smith Studies Storm Effects on Men and Animals
Chicago, Oct. 5—An explanation of the fact that even when the sky is clear and only a lowered barometric pressure indicates an approaching storm, people with rheumatism ("feel it in their bones," and many animals can tell in various ways that it is going to rain, is found in the result of an experiment made by Dr. C. S. Smith, of the University of Chicago which will be reported in the American Journal of Physiology.
Restless due to water retention under low air pressure is suggested as the cause of such premonitions of storms.
In the experiment, dogs and rats were placed in a glass-walled tank in the room under the pressure. Their diet and water intake and elimination were carefully measured. Very little water was eliminated in the drink or taken in food.
Doctor Smith suggests that in the low barometric conditions preceding a storm, animals retain water in their tissues. Certain animals, including human beings who have rheumatism, are sensitive enough to recognize the restlessness caused by water loss and few experiences of a storm following the sensation, rheumatic persons are able to predict had weather.

Tunney Takes Bride in Simple Ceremony at Italian Hostelry
Few Close Friends of Couple Only Witnesses to Taking of Marital Vows
By Thomas B. Morgan
United Press Staff Correspondent
Rome, Oct. 3, E-(UP) - In a simple service before only a few friends, the wife of a young bride, being dumped, was married today to Miss Mary Jojobeine Lauber, American society girl and heiress.
The civil ceremony took place in a drawing room on the third floor of the Brisbane Courthouse. Friends and Italian officiated watched as Tammey—the former office clock and marina—was married to the girl who had been his inspiration when he stated to amass a fortune as a widow.
Setting Is Simple
The drawing room in which the civil service was held was fitted with furniture from the 16th century. In the center hang a Venetian chandelier, which is suspended from gray, white on the wall there hung a portrait of an unknown girl. The center wall desk was used by the cook to grease the roof to affix their餐具.
Dr. Carress Wheels acted as best man while Mr. Edwin Dowing, sister of the birds, was matron of honor George Llarder, Jr., gave the bride
Thomas L. Daniels, second secretary of the American Embassy and Mrs. Daniels were witnesses for the bride in the civil ceremony, William O. Jones, American Vice Counsel, and Mrs. Jones were witnesses for the groom.
Ceremony Brief
The ceremony was brief. After an Italian official had read the passages of the marriage law, he turned to Miss Louderman: "Do you take my, Tommy as your husband?" He asked. She answered to the affirmative.
"Do you take Miss Lander as your wife?" the official asked Tunney. He relied. "You."
The obligations of the marriage contract under Hakim law then were read to the couple, now man and wife. They stood silent while the words were real ("Marrantiny implemption"). The husband obliged to live together in faith and to help one another. The husband is the head of the family. The wife follows his civil condition and also names his name. She is obliged to accompany him wherever he considers it suitable to its life herein.
"The husband must protect his wife and keep her near him, administering to her what is necessary for her needs of life in proportion to his subjewish heritage and contribute it to the maintenance of her husband if she has not sufficient means.
"The husband's obligation to provide subsistence to his wife causes if she leaves him with out just cause and refuses to return. The judicial authorities, under such circumstances, can order temporary sequestration of the wife's income and parental authority half of the husband and children."
The couple entered the wedding apartment for the ceremony at 12:25 p. m, as soon as the civil proceedings had ended, they passed into an adjoining room where they were united by Monsignor Joseph A. Brewlin, vice president of the Roman Rome, by the rites of the Roman Catholic Church.
As Tumney's bride is a non-Catholic, the religious ceremony was performed by special dispensation of the church. Tumney and his bride were subjected to a formal demonstration today when they testified of de Rousse after their marriage.

Uniform Traffic System
Proves Practical and Pleasant in Massachusetts
New York, Oct. 13—(Science Service)—The value of a uniform system of traffic signals and signs urged by traffic experts, has been tested and proved this summer in Massachusetts, Charles C. Jones, secretary of the Ohio State Automobile Association, told the safety congress in session here, this morning.
Since June 5, Massachusetts has had a single system of traffic murals and directions, so that a motorist can travel through the entire state with
