In fact, there are Wilson school pupils using desks ery day which were once occupied by earlier generations of their families attending the old Columbia building. When Columbia abandoned in 1930, the ancient eight-room brick edifice was dismantled and some of the equipment salvaged, refinished and installed at the newly-constructed i school, according to John H. McCoy, former superintendent of buildings for the board of education Efforts to obtam information as to the exact age of the Columbia building met little success last week Not even Miss Lucy Sweetland for almost 30 years was a teacher and la-" ter principal of the school, could recall the date of its construction. home 253 Pine street Just stone's throw from the of the buIWiny where she for so many years, retired when it was abandoned. As she laughingly explained: "Columbia and I gave out Unlike other old Ille schools, the date of Columbia's i construction was not inscribed on the building.

However, it originally consisted of four rooms, a two- room wing being added to the east side and another on the west about 1890. About that time, there weren't! many families living west of.

Zanesville's oldest grade building with the exception of -Madison, according to Mr.

McCoy. The basement was limited fo one jTOom. In order to heat the building, coal stoves uere placed in ual rooms. These were later replaced by gas units. Older Zanesville residents once attended Columbia will remember Miss Carrie Grang-' er, who was principal for many' years, and Miss Margaret Sidle' (Mrs.

Clyde Reasoner), one of the school's best known teachers about that time. It is a curious coincidence a Miss Edna Haas, now principal of WHson, was a teacher at Columbia just prior to its abandonment In the autumn of 1930, many mer Columbia pupils were transferred to the new buildmg on Superior street, along with the bell and some equipment. Then Miss Haas came to complete the change Lucy Sweetland was Columbia's lact principal. When the building was dismantled retired from She is shown here at her 23S IHne street.

Breder, chairman and curator of the department' of fishes, American Museum of Natural History. Some, like the croaker and drumfish, make noise by vibrating their balloon-like a ith their muscles.

The sound from big schools often keeps anchored fishermen awake. It sometimes can be heard ashore like low thunder. Other fish grind their teeth, and some make grunting noises. Even the silent clam makes a noise when it drags itself through sand for sound carries intensely through water. The little puffer fish apparently makes a grinding sound as it feeds, Dr.

Breder said, for other puffers immediately swarm around when one finds food. Its table manners may it away. Porpoises have a wide vocal range, and their sounds can be heard through aquarium glass. The tiny sea horse makes a faint clocking sound. The snapping shrimp, about 1 inches long, makes a click by snapping its pincers together.

The noise from thousands or millions of them along shrimp beds can blank out other sounds. Because of this, the snapping shrimp helped some American submarines during the war. The shrimp noise could zum the hearing for an enemy sound- man, and the submarine could take refuge by going lo known shrimp beds. The flying furnace used to heat airplanes now has been transformed into a midget furnace for the home. This midget is as gas-burning unit about the size of a suitcase, with each unit capable of heating 2H rooms with hot air.

It was developed by Stewart-Warner corporation from wartime experience in making gasoline-burning heaters for aircraft. A house would require two of the midgets, and a 10-room house four. These heat the jhouse without any central heating plant, chimney, or radiators Each unit has its own thermostatic control. The small furnace or unit is 14 inches wide, 30 inches long, and about 9 Mi inches thick. It weighs 45 pounds, or 70 pounds when enclosed in a cabinet.

It can be recessed easily into walls, ceilings, or floors. Distribution is being started now in certain areas. The gas-burnmg flame is completely sealed the unit The air for burning the furnace is drawn from outside the house through a duct, and combustion products are discharged outside. Gas consumption is less than that of a conventional central gas-heating plant for houses of the same size, the company said. mildew and alkali, it adds.

The fiber now is being made only experimentally. In blends, nylon staple will contribute strength, resistance to abrasion, and dimensional stability washing. Some of the products foreseen are washable sweaters which will not need blocking, quick-drying swim suits, babies sweaters which can be boiled for sterilizing, long-wearing lightweight undent ear, and rugs with high abrasion and crush resistance. Snow Clearance A highway snow-melting system using hot water pipes imbedded in the roncretp is ready for a wintertime test at Bndgeville, Pa. The test stretch is a 600-foot, two-lane roadway leading uphill (to the American Cyanamid Co.

plant). Hot water at 165 degrees Fahrenheit will be circulated the pipes during snows Anti-freeze will'keep the water from freezing when the system is not operating. Installing engineers expect the systems will remove at least one inch of snow or one-tenth ot an inch of ice per hour, and give snow-and-ice-free wheel tracks two 1 or three feet 'do. Nylon Nylon as a staple fiber, processed alone or with otheV fibers by usual spinning methods, promises fabrics with durability, strength, lightweight and warmth, the DuPont company reports. These fabrics also will resist mussing, moths, fungi, THE BOOK OF CWAPTEl IH THE KING JAMES.
