You have perhaps observed such changes
in the drift of clouds at different heights in
your own locality. After aerial navigation
becomes q fact, this subject will doubtless
be carefully studied. and 1t is probable that
strong head winds may always be avoided
by change Of altitude. while. in the vast
majority OF cases, 1t will be possible to take
advantage Of q favoring wind at some prac-
ticable height, as DR.. Van Hecke argued
CMansfield's Aerial Navigation, page l5)
So that IL able to steam eighty miles an
hour. you will actually make an average CT
about ninety-six miles, including the drift
Of the current. When it is remembered that
over so per cent of the power of a railroad
train at sixty miles an hour is consumed
in overcoming the resistance of the air, 4
great advantage Is apparent in aerial raw
CATION under this head alone.
A Promotion Society.
And now let me indulge a foniness fur
making suggestions:
First. that some sort Of association or
other intelligent cooperation should be
formed among those interested in aerial
navigation. on the principle of aeroplane
support and willing to work for it-so that
phases and problems of the subject couli be
assigned to different members for eaperi-
ment, invention, computation or research
and that the omissions or faiiacies or i'm
provements, unobserved by one, might be
pointed out by others. 1t would be a griev-
GUS pity If, after this hundred years of mere
balIooning and now that principle has
been tested with results that seem to as
sure success beyond all former 1ceaEls. the
nfst actual trials with complete machine
should prove disastrous and discouray ng.

lght could have been shed upon 1t before.
second, that the American Association for
the Advancement of Science devote 4 Sec
ton to this special study and related SUBJ
Jects. If the encouragement of the study
OF geology or biology or any other "ology"

Combustion without Smoke,

From the Newcastle Chronicle.
Wherever there's smoke there's fire is an
adage based on observation of unyaryins
physical laws, but the reverse does not AL
ways hold good for there may be fire with
out smoke. or at all events without appar-
ent smoke.
In Berlin an inventor has succeeded in
devising a means for insuring complete
combustion without the emission of smoke
and his method has, on repeated tests
proved so satisfactory that two of the most
important steam shipping companies in
Germany have decided on adapting 1t to
their steamers In this system coal, reduced
to powder in centrifugal disintegraters, is
introduced into a pear-shaped combustion
chamber lined with friedrich, and fitted with
an induction apparatus like those used in
petroleum bred furnaces, the coal dust be-
ing drawn along by jet OF steam or COM
pressed air.
The combustion chamber, which takes the
place of a furnace, is provided with two
apertures, one in the center line of the
boiler. occupying the position of the usual
fire hole door. while the other, on the oppo-
site Side of the combustion chamber. serves
for introducing the coal dust through a
pipe, SO placed that the dust is evenly dis
persed over the whole surface of the cham
ber After the first ignition. which may
be effected by any source of heat. the COM
bustion continues regularly and intensely
under the action of the air current which
is regulated in accordance with the GUAM
tity of dust required to produce the neces-
sary heat. The air or steam and dust are
intimately mingled i'm the zone of combus-
ton, while the speed OF the current. which
has served Il vehicle for the dust is
much reduced. Each particle of fuel held
in suspension Is by this method brought
into such close contact with the oxygen
necessary for its combustion that this COM
bustion is so complete as to allow of prac-
ticaily no smoke being generated.
