This effect is much heightened if the ferro-magnetic substance is bom- means of thermo-magnetic control, according to Dr. Yensen.

BIGGER ROLE FOR MAGNESIU¥ The tremendous drop in the price of magnesium metal from $5 to around 30 cents a pound in the last sixteen years--chiefly due to inten- sive research and successful manu- facturing experiments--now indicates an increased importance for this metal, according to a paper pre-sent- ed before the American Chemical So- ciety. Since magnesium is one of the most ple-tiful metals and is about one-third lighter than aluminum, hav- ing only 25 per cent. the weight of iron ur steel, it becomes directly con:- petitive with aluminum and thus a wide sphere of usefulness is indicated for it in the alloy field. Magnesium alloys are extremely strong and have a wide range of malleability. WOMEN INVENTORS INCREASE A study of the-pa'ent records since 1809, when the first patent was grant- ed to a woman, reveals that although Wotaen stiil apply in smaller numbers an men, there has heen a steady in- erease in their applications. Some years ago, when the last detailed analysis was made, women were ap- plying for patents at the rate of about 00 a year. No figures are avail. gable as to the number of applications in recent years, but it is known to have increased considerably, since re- cently a larger number of women have entered industrial life, As might be expected, the highest percentage of inventions of the number studied a few years ago confined themselves to domestic devices; but a great many Were far afield into the realms of metallurgy and other higher technic- al fields. FOREST FIRE PLOW. 'A new hine has been adopted to aid in fighting forest fires, according to a recent announcement. It is no- "thing more than a powerful tractor with a wide plow fixed in front. The plow is used for constructing fire lines to prevent the spread of forest fires. It can make a burrow fifteen fnches wide and will throw out the dirt sixteen inches on either side, making a fire line almost four feet wide. It will accomplish in one hour work that would keco ten men busy for a whole day. a A Canada's Radio- Industry According to recent statistics sales of receiving sets in 1930 valued at $22,776,225. This value was nearly $2,000,000 above the production of the industry in 1929, although the 1930 Jroduction figures were slightly below x of the previous year. Three years earlier, In 1927, production of the industry in Canada was valued at $8,789,171. Another measure of is supplied by the rapid rise in number of receiving sets licensed Hi: in the Dominion.

Careful sur- 'veys have shown that not more than sixteen tu twenty persons a year; meet their deaths in this way, and 95 per cent would still be alive it simple rules in the use of thelr electrical equipment. These, briefly, are the electrical rules which every home owner should observe. Rule 1. Have your wiring done by a reliable expert. Rule 2. In wiring your house, have plenty of outlets, not only for to- day's needs, but those which you anticipate tomorrow. This will help a great deal to re- duce the danger of fire or shock, since it will mean fewer wires trail- ing from one part of a room te an- other and consequently wearing them out, less amateur tinkering, and less possibility of overloading wires with more current than they were made to carry, Even in this electrical age the great majority of homes are inadequately wired for satisfactory electrical service. Many of them were built before electricity became an accepted hoasehold servant, and even homes erected in the last ten or fifteen years, have failed to anti- cipate the electrification of almost every imaginable household job. Es- pecially is it important to have in- 'stalled in the kitchen and laundry one or two high power circuits to be ready for any demands which the future may bring. Rule 3. Play fair with your fuses. The fuse was designed, not to an-, noy, but to protect you, by au'omati- cally burning out and thus shutting ¢® whenever more is being drawn | through the wires than they can safely carry. This safety lim't is, indicated by the electrical company when it puts in fuses of a certain amperage. When one blows out. It means either that you are ving | too many lamps or appliances on that circuit, or that one or more is defective. To meet the difficulty by putting in' a fuse of higher amper- age, or, as some household dare devils have even beea known to do,! to substitute a penny for the fise, is to invite trouble. | The average circuit in a private home calls for a fuse of fifteen amperes. The high power clreutt which supplies the electric range | carries more. In . this connection it 48 well to remember that any electrical appliance supplying heat-- such as a range or a heater--uses, generally speaking, more current than an appliance supplying power --such as a washer or refrigerator-- or one designed to give light, such as a lamp. Rule 4. Remember that water Is a conductor of electricity, that all electrical connections should be pro- tected from dampness, and that no part of any eletrical equipment should be touched with damp hands. . An analysis of electrical shocks shows a high percentage resulting from failure to remember these facts. The strength of a current is in in- verse proportion to the resistance of the medium through which it is passing, Normally the skin of the body has a fairly high resistance, and thus serves to shield the inside of the body, which has a low resls- tance. If the skin, however, is wet, or even damp from perspiration, it becomes an excellent conductor of electricity, and a shock which would otherwise be slight, may become grave. You should, therefore, be especially on your guard in all parts of the house where water or damp- ness is likely to be encountered, such as the bathroom, the laundry and the cellar.

Three mer were in hot, muggy weather, when the skin of the victims was damp with perspiration. All these facts mean that almost all electrical shocks resulting from dampness could be avolded if we would take a few more precauticns. Rule 5. Never touch an electric ap- pliance of any kind while you are in the bathtub. If it should chance to be defective the danger of shock is greatly increased. Rule 6. Secure the use of molded composition or porcelain sockets in your bath-rooms, basements ind all other damp locations and on exten- sion cords. 3 y Screw base receptacles or outlets are no longer approved. Where they exist equip them permanently with the detadhable screw base sec- tions of attachment plugs or have your electrician replace them. This will prevent inquisitive children from poking their fingers into the sockets and possibly receiving shocks. Rule 7. Wherever an extension cord is used in any damp place see that the cord is one with waterproof pro- tection. Such cords have always been easily purchaseable, and now the house- holder may avail himself of a. ex- tra protection, a rubber waterproof connection cap. In handling the cord of any plece of electrical appliance, grasp and pull by the plug rather than by the cord f{tself.
