Can the magniture and intensity reach such proportions as to scorch and destroy living things in its path? The answer was emphatically in the affirmative. Not only can the beam of energy be driven in a hori- zontal direction, but vertically down- ward from suitably equipped air- craft, The same type of magneto-electrie- jty used for wireless telephony is adaptable for this purpose. The num- ber of wireless vibrations or cycles used for wireless telephony are near the bottom of the scale and cover only the "auditory range." The tele- phone vibrations, or waves, are dif- fused in different directions. By in- tensifying, lacreasing the quantity of current and concentrating its direc- tion, a most intense heat may be ob- tained, to which that of a burning glass would compare as a candle to a house on fire. The main point of discussion was the improvement of the design of propellers and flying surfaces of air- craft. The fact that no matter how we may improve the engine, the waste of power increase as greater speed is sought in aircraft, is funda- mental to any significant advance or new departure in design of such eon- structions: The first and imperative requirement is greater efficiency in what the engine drives--the propel- ler and the surfaces of the body and wings. For a moment consider the waste of power of the propeller entirely apart from the engine. All progress of the aircraft is obtalned exactly in the same way as with the modern steamship; namely, from the thrust of its propeller screw, or wheel, all referring to the same instrument. The engine furnishes, say, 200 horse-power to the propeller, while the plane goes ninety miles an hour, If this were exerted, all of it, as "thrust" without loss, it would be a steady push of 833 pounds, at ninety miles an hour. But the fact is that under the very best conditions less than 108 pounds of thrust is realiz ed. So we see that about seven- eighths of the engine power is lost in-varlous directions, while only one- eighth, or 13 per cent. remains as driving or lifting power, which is the same thing, and- this is exclusively confinédto the propeller operations. Further lossés ta which the 108 pounds of thrust are liter subjected must not be confused with those in- cident to operating the propeller it- self and producing the thrust. To put the matter of propeller loss another way, if the power supplied to the engine were all utilized or trans- formed into thrust by the propeller, being 108 pounds in the case stated, an engine of only twenty-six horse- power would be required. The saving of weight immediately | assumes great importance. The 200- horse-power engine weighs upward of 500 pounds. The twenty-six horse- power weighs only sixty-five pounds. Again, as to weight of fuel: the 200- horse-power machine carrieg a weight of the engine, or 500 podhds, while for the twenty-six horse-power engine only sixty-five pounds of gaso- line are needed. Taken together, the weight of 200-horse-power engine and fuel is 1,000 pounds at the very least, while the twenty-six horse-power engine and fuel would weigh but -130 pounds, a saving of 870 pounds or more. To this can be added another ¥rey important saving, namely, a de- crease in the structural weight of the plane itself due to the diminish- ) ing strains, vibrition and wrenching effect of the larger engine. ! In fact, the whole design of air- eraft becomes subject to entire re- vision as soon as the great and un- necessary weight of engine and fuel is obviated. The reduction of weight} leading WILLIAM WRIGHT GAINS 20 POUNDS |. "] Have Never Seen Anything to Equal Tanlac," Says Toronto Machinist. "The best proof 1 can give that Tanlac was the right thing tor me is the way it has relieved my trouble and built me up," sald William Wright, a well-known machinist for the: Canadian Aeroplane Company, living at 46 Symington avenue, To- ronto, recently. *"I had suffered from stomach trou- ble for more than a year and had fall- en off twenty-five pounds," he con- tinued, "and five bottles of Tanlac has not only relieved me entirely, but 1 have actually gotten back twen- ty pounds Qf my lost weight, besides. Before I took it my appetite was very poor and my stomach was in such a bad fix that I couldn't eat anything without suffering terribly from indi- gestion. 1 had to give up eating the things 1 liked best, as they would hurt me so. I got so I would often skip my meals and what little I did eat 1 just had to force down. No matter what I ate it would sour and feel like a lump of lead in my stom- ach and I would belch up sour gas and undigested food for hours after every meal. 1 was right sick at my stomach at times, always had a bad taste in my mouth and felt tired, sluggish and no account. I would get up in the mornings feeling so bad that I actually hated to go to work. Anyone may know how I was going down by the way I lost in weight. "My wife and 1 had been reading what others had to say about Tanlae, 80 I decided to see what there was to it for me. Well, my appetite soon got better and before 1 finished my third bottle 1 could see a wonderful improvement in every way. 1 eat good, hearty meals and thoroughly enjoy them. My digestion is fine, as is shown by the way I have increased in weight. My stomach trouble is a thing of the past with me and I am feeling just as well as if there had never been anything the matter with me. 1 notice now I always feel rest- ed and ready for my work in the mornings. I don't have that drowsy, half-dead feeling like I did before I took Tanlae. I have never seen any- thing to equal Tanlac as a medicine and I would certainly advise anyone to give it a trial."

An unfortunate impression has got abroad, according to Mr. Fred Abra- ham, Chairman of the Garden Sec- tion of the Food Board, that home canning is dangerous on. account of boltuism, a form of ptomaine poison- ing. This has been given currency through sone remarks made at the recent medical congress held in Hamilton. *"Boltuism is not a new disease, nor can it occur if vegetables are thoroughly stérilized," said Mr. | Abraham. "If all home canned fruits and vegetables are cooked poisoning cannot occur. This point has been missed by a good many readers and has caused anxiety in the minds of amateur gardeners who fears are na- turally easily aroused in the absence of . knowledge. It is especially un- fortunate that any misapprehension should exist at a timé when every ounce of food that can he produced will be required. I,-therefore, strong- ly urge everyone who can produce garden truck to do so on the widest possible scale. . Women and children can especially help in. this branch of production."

More Authentic Coses of German * Atreecities, The London Times gives promin- ence to further alitbenticated atroci- ties, systematic tortures -and cold- blooded murders of British prisoners in Germany, in which the sum total of the evidence Is Incredibly in- buman, on % There is the instanee of the British soldier at Minden who was deliber- ately shot dead because a dozen Britishers did not want to draw the ration of filthy undrinkable wash served as coffee. : At Merseberg a number of serious- ly wounded and wholly unfit British after vain protests, forced to work 12 hours a day. Soon this did not satisfy the Germans, who ordered the British to commence at four in the morning.' The men re- fused, but after brutal blows, al) ex- cept two gave In. Sentries, with kicks and- blows, drove the two re- caleitrants over to the work. One of these British soldiers held up a bad- ly wounded hand to show the sen- tries he was unfit for work, He was thereupon shot dead and the body thrown inside a dirty washhouse. A German officer on a visit of i c- tion shook hands with the murderer. The body was buried the following day in the presence of & crowd of jeering Germans. 2 At Schneldmuesl the British pris- oners, without huts, had to live in holes in the ground, which the pris- oners themselves scooped out. One morning at bread parade, a sentry gave an order to one of the Britishers which was not understood. The sen- try rushed at the prisoner and struck him, the latter thereupon golpg to his hole in the ground. German offi- cers then ordered that an example be made of this British prisoner, al- though he had committed no offence. He was captured and stripped to the waist and tiled up to a barrel. Six Germans with thick wooden staves, which are used for holding up barbed wire, beat the prisoner for ten min' utes over the head and bare back and 'the body of the prisoner, who was swooning, was tied up to a post and left there. Subsequently a German officer came up and, struck the pris- oner with his sword and spat at him, calling him 'English swine." The British prisoner never recovered, a few weeks later dying, and neutral representatives visiting the camp were informed that his death was from typhus. : At Langensalza Camp 300 wound- ed British soldiers arrived in the nighttime and were herded into a large hut without bedding or blan- kets. By the next morning five had died. The remainder were taken out and left in the sun for three hours, when seven more died. Subsequently through neglect and ill-treatment 50 snceumbed. The funerals at this camp for the sumimér of 1917 to the spring of 1918 were the grossest scandal and the details in the evi. dence are too revolting for publica- tion, Modern China. In a prize essay written for the Chinese Joint Couuacil on Public Health Education, Mr. Yang Tuk- pau, of one of the Shanghai Universi- ties, throws some interesting ght on the physical phases of the citizens of the new republic. Naturally endowed with strong constitutions, 'Mr, Yang says, the Chinese should Wave a much lower death rate than the records show. Thelr simple diet, their hy- gienic dress, and their well-ventilat- ed bouses all contribute to a strong and abiding race vitality, and it is unfortunate that these conditions are not supplemented by adbquate sani- tation \systems and a wider knowl. edge of disease prevention. Mr, Yang goes on to treat of the influences that have kept China in the past from physical devélopment. He points out the dangers suffered from the old Chinese practice of early marriage, foot-binding, oplum-smoking, and from superstition, all of which are now either totally or in part reme- died, He cites the growing interest in out-of-door sports and the intro- duction of western methods of educa- tion with their latitude for natural development as hopeful signs of in- | serest in the health of Chicese young people.--Family Herald. .
