WAR DEVICE NOW
USED TO RESCUE
BURIED MINERS
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—All instru- j
ment called the geoplione, Invented |
by the French to detect underground j

Unreal! of Standards until its son-j
rltivcness i so great that in recent]
tests -ledge pounding was heard
.000 feet through rock, 2,000 feet
through coal, 5d0 feet through mine
"cover" and lion ft it through clay.
Tlie geoplione, despltcs its un
usual fund ions, is not a coinplieat-j
ert machine. It con.lists of an Iran
ring over which arc two metal disks, j
In the space within the ring, sus
pended between the thin disks, is a
lead weight. An opening In one of
the disks lead- to un earpiece. When
the instrument in laid upon the
ground, it "picks up” sound vibra
tions that may b" coining through.
The disks vibrate, causing a dis
turbance in the air within the in
strument which, taking the form!
of sound, is transmitted to the carl
of the listener.
