A wonderful new invention is a camera made by Proféesser H. B. Dixon, a Manchester man; which re- cords on a 'film anything traveling at a speed of close to two miles a second. He has constructed the fast- est camera in the world, usually taking a hundred yards of film photo- graph in a second. 2 This speed is not fast enough, how- ever, for the professor's purpose, and he is now busy studying the flame of explosions created by alcoho], petrol, and other motor fuels, He tests them singly and in mixtures, and is intent on photographing the flame of an ex- plosion traveling at a speed of 3,000 yards a second. He has succeeded in getting his films to record a flame traveling at thig speed by fixing on the camera a lens that reduces each image to one- twelfth of the ordinary size and set- ting the camera at right angles to the lines along which the flame travels. The exact measurements Professor Dixon has obtained are likely to have a great effect on the production of British motor fuel. Attached to his marvelous camera is a delicate time- piece that measures the travel of the flame down to the ten-thousandth of a second, and with these new instru- ments the professor is making precise discoveries of the firing-point of all the new kinds of motor fuel. He com- presses them in a steel cylinder and then fires them under the eye of the camera. 3 J nr essen HOW TO TELL A CRIMINAL. Pecullarities of Head Development Are Present in Most Cases. Many criminals. who might other- wise have escaped have been detect ed by the abnormal development of their heads. Professor Lombroro, a great crimf nologist, said that it was his opinion that all criminals except thieves had remarkable heads. Charles Peace is a striking example, for his head was an enormous size, whilst his ears were very prominent. Irregular heads are another feature in criminals -of all classes."

Journey From East Fortune, Scotland, to Mineola, Long Island, 3,600 Miles, Accomplished Without Mishap, But Petrol Supply. Almost Exhausted. Mineola, N. Y.,; July 6.--Great Bri- tain's super-dirigible R-34, the first lighter-than-a/r machine to cross the Atlantic Ocean, anchored here at Roosevelt Flying Field, at 9.54 am. to-day (1.564 pm. Greenwich mean time), after an aerial voyage of 108 hours and 12 minutes, which covered 8,600 miles from Bast Fortume, Scot- land, When the super-Zeppelin ar- rived here she had left- only enough petxal to keep her moving ninety m'n- utes longer. Her crew of thirty per- sons, almost sleepless for four and a half days, were weary almost to the point of exhaustion, but happy at the successful completion of the epoch- making trip. The return voyage pro- bably will be started at 8 a.m, Tues- day. : The R-34 was forced to cruise 2,060 knots to reach Trinity Bay, Nfid:, from East Fortune, Scotland, and 1,080 knots from there to Mineola. Haggard, unshaven, their eyes bloedshot from the long wigil, and lines of care bitten deep into their faces, Major G. H. Scott, the com- mander, and his officers showed plain- ly the effect of . theyanxious hours through which they lived yesterday while they were cruising over the far, reaches of Canada and the Bay of Fundy, beset by fog, heavy winds and terrific electrical storms, "It seemed ms though the atmok- phere was haunted 'by 5,000 devils" said Lieut. Guy Harris, the meteor- ological officer. : ith the R-34 long overdue at its destination, with its mpletirol supply running low, and buffeted by strong head winds, Major Scott decided yesterday while over the Bay of Fundy to send a wireless call to the American Navy Départment to be prepared to give assistance if it were needed. This was merely a measure of precaution, and did not 'indicate discouragement.

She cruised 'about in @ circle at a height of about 1,000 feet until word was telephoned that everything was in readiness for the landing, While the R-34 was circling the field at a great height, Major Prit- chard - jumped off with a parachute. This was nearly-a half-hour before the dirigible came to anchor. wl Lieut. Hoyt, US.N., the ground officer, "had assembled on the field a force of more than 500 soldiers and cailors ready for instant action as the R-84 circled lower and lower. she was cry 200 feet above the ground a hi hawser was let go from under, the nose, British non-|. commissioned officers, with Amenican soldiers and sailors, shouted gleefully las they seized the rope and hung on like grim death. - LONDON WARMLY WELCOMES HER OWN TROOPS FROM WAR London, July 6.--London had her distinct from the national celebration to be held on July 19--when the Lon- which pas oo "assistance, * the R-34 was] Twen to Mineola, © of Fundy the atmospheric ho 'which Had beset 'the craft from 'the| When |: ---- All Danger in North Country _ Over For Time Being. Halleybury, July 4--For the time being all serious danger from forest fires has passed. AE All day - Friday the weather throughout the north continued show- '} ery, at least in the districts beginning at Boston Creek: on the south, and Cochrane and Porcupine on the north. The rain began to fall at all the points of danger st an hour ranging from about three to five o'clock this morning; and this has been followed by intermittent showers. The rain is expected to hold the bounds for the time being. It is considered unfortunate 'that bush firés should have gained such headway so early in the summer, and the rains of to-day will only suffice to constitute a temporary check. A prolonged wet spell will be necessary to put the fires 'out completely. longed dry. spell would permit the present smoldering fires to spring into renewed life. All appears to be safe | for the present, but the summer is yet very young, it is «reasonable to expect that residents in the various parts of the north will not permit themselves to fall into a state of false security, but® rather will maintain careful vigilance and prevent as far as possible the recurrence of a forest fire outbreak.
