The new machine is not a rocket plane, however. Its builders do not strive to set up new speed and height recâ€" ords, the purpose being to use the plane for experimental purposes and scientific research. It is the first stage in the evolution of the stratoâ€" sphere plane, which will be able to fly "above the weather." For the latest ascensions into the stratoâ€" sphere have established beyond doubt that above the soâ€"called stratosphere the atmosphere is constantly calm, and that there are no clouds and no disturbing atmospheric perturbations and winds, so that the usual risks conâ€" nected with atmospheric conditions would be entirely eliminated in flyâ€" ing at great altitudes, it would perâ€" mit constant and perfect navigation, day and night, sky and horizon beâ€" ing visible all the time, because of the scarce dispersion of light. Stars are visible in the stratosphere in daytime, which would permit a conâ€" stant and crorect astronomic orientâ€" ation and would make flying indeâ€" pendent of the signaling organizaâ€" tion maintained on lang.

Taking as a point of departure reâ€" | liable _ meteorological calculations, scientists have reached the concluâ€" sion that far greater speeds than those of ordinary flying could be obâ€" tained in the stratosphere. In the experimental laboratories of univerâ€" sities and industrial plants the scienâ€" tilc principles of the stratosphere plane were worked out and tested. Thousands of motor builders now work on models suitable for great altitudes, trying to adapt the dimenâ€" sions to the new task and increased demands of the rarefied atmosphere, A preliminary solution of the probâ€" lem i.ppears to be contained in Dr. Asmus Hanson‘s graduation thesis, "Development Possibilities of _ the Stratosphere â€" Motor."

Although this plane represonts the first practical step on the way toâ€" ward the solution of the stratoâ€" sphere problem, inasmuch as it will permit carrying out experiments on a large scale, it is far from being the ideal solution. Its importance lies, above all, in the possibility of testâ€" ing such features as the compresâ€" sor and the airtight cabin, without which flying in the stratosphere is absolutely impossible. For the experimental flights the plane is equipped with an â€" 850â€"h.p. Junker mofor, operating a multiple stage compressor. This compressor feeds to the motor a constant supply of air of a constant tension, thus eliminating the inconveniences of the rarefied atmosphere. The compresâ€" sion in the cylinders is just sufficient to insure a constant motor capacity in the stratosphere. _ Externally, the stratosphere plane is not very much different from cther airplanes, but it is, of course, much larger than the ordinary singleâ€" motor machine. _ The span across the wings is 92 feet, and the length is 52%, feet. The carriage is unusâ€" ually high, because it must support a propeller of twenty feet in diaâ€" meter, It was important to invent _ a method whereby the pilot would be able to look down on the earth, which is necessary for the determinâ€" ation of the direction when fAying at such altitudes. _ After numerous exâ€" periments, it was decided to fix a special telescope between steering levers and pilot seat, so that it rests between the legs of the pilot. can be heated. To reduce the heat requirements of the cabin, the space between the walls is filled with a special gas, which is a very poor conâ€" ductor of heat, and is maintained under a constant medium pressure, regulated by means of a special deâ€" vice. _ The steering levers are more or less the same used in ordinary planes, but the pilot is called upon to keep a watchful eye on a great numâ€" ber of scientific instruments, which are mounted on a board of the width of the whole cabin. w The altitude chamber built into the experimental stratosphere plane is absolutely airtight and gastight on all sides. There is room for two men only. It has double, gastight walls, with curved surfaces, secured against pressure above atmospheric from inside. _ The shape of the cabin. is fitted to that of the human body, in order to insure perfect visibility, The window panes are double and protected against moisture from inâ€" side and ice from â€"outside.

These dificulties may be overâ€" come, as was proved by Piccard, whose balloon, equipped with airâ€" tight cabin, ascended ten miles above the earth. _ Already, before Piccard‘s experiment took place, certain conâ€" stuctors conceived the idea of equipâ€" ping the stratosphere plane with an airtight and pressureâ€"existing altiâ€" tude chamber. _ ‘The difficulties to be overcome by the stratosphere plane are of course far greater than those encountered by Piccard, for whom one outward grip was sufficient to pull the valve cord and make the balloon descend. In a plane the motor must be operated from inside the air tight cabin, and at the same time all requirements set up by Picâ€" card for heating, airing, visibility, inâ€" strumentation, etc., must be comâ€" plied with, so rare that its density doe;noi amount to even o-_a-genth of the nor. bove atmospheric shape of the cabin _the human body, perfect visibility, Love Friendship often ends in Love; but Love, in Friendshipâ€"never.â€"Cotton, Sacrifice Love will pick the lock. will sacrifice itself to bar with its own arm.

No sooner had he finished the noon meal than he rushed out, grabbed the seed bag that he had made for this occasion, and carried two sacks of seed up to that portion of the field where the ground was driest.
