Dairy Products Situation
Observations by the department
men and the opinions of persons in-
terviewed lead to the belief that the
supply of dairy products, especially
milk, is unequal to the demand. it
was the general opinion that much
condensed milk would be imported
next winter. Although the United
Kingdom normally imports dairy pro-
ducts, the increase in those of con-
densed milk last year is’ noteworthy,
being about 100,000,000 pounds greater
than for previous years. The increase
was about 80 per cent, most of which
came from the United States.

ON ALLIES’ INTEREST
Washington—Unpaid interest on
loans to foreign governments accruing
vp to November last totaled $236,240,-

the next year is $463,215,613, Secre-
tary Houston informed the Senate,
answering a resolution of inquiry.
Belgium owed $8,370,381; France,
$65,858,101; Great Britain, $105,503,
126; Italy, $39,228,203, and Russia,
$15,051,977 of the unpaid interest, he
said, while the interest falling due in
1920 included: Great Britain, $211,
$28,890; France, $139,094,272; Italy.

THE SIZE OF SOUND WAVES
attached to one or the
Government bureaus at Washington,
while discussing our ability to tell
the direction from which sound pro-
ceeds, calls attention to an interest-
mg difference between the eyes and
the ears with regard to the size of
the waves that strike them.
The average wave-length of light
is about one ten-thousandth of the
diameter of the pupil of the eye. On
the other hand, the waves of sound
issuing from a man’s mouth are about
eight feet long, whereas the diameter
A scientist

of the passage of the ear is quite
small and could not well have been
made a large multiple of eight feet.
One consequence of the minuteness of
light-waves in comparison with the
size of the eyes is that the lenses of
the eye are able to concentrate rays
of light upon the retina with great
efficiency.
And talking about sound, the new-
est invention in connection with it,
is the telephonograph. This is 2 com
bination of the phonograph wi‘h thes
telephone, intended to record 2 tele-
phonic message on a wax cylinder at
the receiving end of the tel=aphone
line, an invention that promises zreat
things. The record is made by a
stvlug actuated by the undulations
produced by sound-waves. From the
impressed cylinder the message can
be retransformed into spoken words
