SALT BRINE EMPLOYED TO
TEST SPEED OF WATER
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—An ingeni
ous method of determining the veloc-;
ty of wafer under almost any circum
stances, has been devised by Prof. C.
M. Allen, of Worcester, Mass.
Salt brine, which has a much higher
electrical conductivity than pure wa
ter, is injected into the stream at a
given point. Electrodes placed at
known distances register the passage
Df the brine while stop watches indi
cate the length of time elapsing. The
net result is the rate of flow.
