Satisfactory progress in rocket design rests wholly upon the development of expl The fourth bit of news concerns Paul Heylandt, who worked with Max Vallier when he first used the com- bination of liquid air and gasoline, He has now announced a fourteen-pound rocket motor, which is said to develop 200 horsepower. Max Vallier, it 'will be recalled, lost his life in one of his experiments, Herr Heylandt has gone on with the development of the motor and has in- creased its power from about forty horsepower, with a weight of seven pounds, to fits present dimensions. 'Herr Heylandt expects to visit this country within the next few months, with this new fnvention. Another German, one Klaus Riedel, using liquid fuel, rccently succeeded in sending a rocket to the height of one and a half kilometers at the Rake- tenflugplatz in Berlin. This rocket, whose construction differs from the convential type, is described by Herr Willy Ley, vice-president of the Berein fur Raumschiffahrt, as resembling a * "flying proving stand" rather than the and of the neon tube and, unlike elther, can be connected directly with ov 'socke! The inventors are Dr. H. I. Spaner, U. W. Doering and Dr. Ed- mund Germer, | ; The mercury-vapor arc lamp is one of the most efficient known; that is, it light than the prdinary incandescent, converts more electric energy into tungsten-filament lamp. Unfortunate- ly, it has marked disadvantages. Jn the first place, it has a ghastly, green ish-blue color, as any one can testify who has ever seen it in a composing room or photographic studio. Furthermore, the mercury vapor can be electrically excited to glow only with direct current, If alternating cur- rent is supplied, which is usually the case, expensive additional services must be used. .In addition, the diffi- culty of starting the tube by shaking it, together with the impossibility of using one device for both alternating current and direct current and the pos- sibility of moving the arc lamp during he operation, has limited its use. Disadvantages of Neon Neon lamps seen in advertising signs are also efficient, but restricted in their applications. They operate only on alternating current at very high voltage. The rare gases in the tube are excited by the electric cur- rent. ' Different gases or vapors give different colors, which explains the red blue and other lights that we see. Moreover, like mercury arcs, these gas tubes' cannot be connected directly with a socket because of the high vol- tages required. What fs wanted is a lamp which will have all the advantages of the mer- cury and neon lamps, which can be made to glow with any color, even if the desired color is an approximation of daylight, and which can be screwed directly into any socket. Dr Spanner is of the opinion that the filament lamp has been developed as far as pos. sible. evolution of existing vapor lamps, It depends for its success largely on the use of an electropositive metal in the cathode, 'When electrically excited ordinary rocket. While this success has been going on In Germany, Ettore Gattanto, an. Italian engineer, ha. recently com- pleted tests with a rocket-propelled plane at the Taliedo airport at Milan, Flights of thirty-four seconds, which have been.attained. Cattaneo is now busy with plans to cross the English Channel in the same machine, More Research Work With such activity in rocket re- search there can be little doubt that we are on the way to the development of a rocket motor that will at least be practical for meteorological work, Unquestionably some of the experi- menters pin their hopes too high. They may set for themselves goals which | will never be realized. But there are, : nevertheless, things which can be ac- complished with a rocket motor that can be accomplished in no other way. It is safe to say that some of these things will be done in the present gen- eration. r { Thr at SE and Luck--Plus!

After about one minute the light in- tensity increases to the maximum value. There is no liquid in the lamp, nothing that resembles the old mer- cury lamp. Moreover, it is about three times as, efficient as the best filament electric lamp of equal candle-power, which * means that, for the same amount of current, three times more portant, the color is pearly that of day- light, One of the main features of the new lamp is to be seen in the possibility of using any kind of glas from the softest glass to quartz. Especially in using '"uviol" glass, so called because it transmits ultra-violet radiation, the new lamp is very like a little sun so far as the color of its rays is concern- ed, These new lamps can be installed in windowless offices and factories be- cause they give daylight illumination with an amount of ultra-violet rays equal to that in sunshine on a moun- tain 6,000 feet high. ween Foot Dimensions Being: Sought in Great Britain The British Boot, Shoe and Allied Trades Research Association has made researches at Northampton which mark the first step in a statis- tical survey of foot measurements, first of Britain and secondly, it is hoped, of foreign countries, according to the London correspondent of the Journa! of the American Association. "At Northampton 2,600 people of all ages were measured," he says. "Each foot was measured twice, once with and once without the weight of the body on it. The measurements sre declared to have proved the valu of the angles in the new methods of measuring the scaffolds of the feet. When the survey has been extended io other towns, the association will have boot and shoe measurements of Bri- tain. "The investigation on which the re- port is based is the outcome of the invention by the research workers of the association of a foot-measuving machine, which reduces the present a simple formula easily understood by a person with an elementary knowl- edge of trigonometry and geometry. The new machine is the necessary complement of the machine tools used in the mass production of boots and shoes. "For centuries boots and shoes were made by the craftsman, who supple- mented his simple measurements by a mental picture of his customer's feet. "In making the foot measurements one important point seems to have been overlooked. In civilized countries some deformity of the foot due to the wearing of boots and s}oes is practic- ally universal. Therefore measure- ments of races which do not wear these articles and of the few persons who have always worn boots properiy ' made for them by a good craftsman should have been taken in order to ! arrive at the measurements of the normal foot," i mre Thunder Shower Silver pale Runs the 'pata of rivulet and snail Through the dark wood, where each brown bole Drips magic. * There a green nymph stole From the old sycamore's embraces, And there a crooked satyr fled. . . .

Rl "Rain" From a Cannon An ingenious device known as the "rain cacnon," used for watering fields, was displayed at Hanover, Ger- many. It consists of a jet mounted on a cylindrical pressure tank. The upper portion of -the tank is filled b with air, which is compressed by the water until there is equillibrium, 'When this is attained a valve located in the nozzle opens an orifice. Owing to the sudden release, the air pressure ejects the water in a powerful jet and throws it a eonsiderable distance and at the same 'ime moves it around slightly. This method is considered a great. i t on the old sprinkler and pipe-line methods. A small rain can- non, requiring only a pressure of two! of three atmospheres, is finding a ready market. ---- Pigeon Travehs 7,200 Mio EE Lae ved this is the longest pigeon fight ever recorded. -- ie Ne Virtue fag dyeing | of cloth' . oT, ., Montreal.
