81 Sc hiciera una discussion
amplia de Ia question, por
los varios representatives de
aquellos dos ramos de la ae-
tividad humana, que, como
tengo Observable hace POGO,
no han tenido hasta hoy, la
costumbre de encontrarse
frente a frente, ell uno del

cer-al resultado practice,
por una entente permanente
entire la ciencia y su aplica-
ci6n en- ell campo comercial,
industrial y agricola.
Respecto a! lnodo de cont
nuar, creo que serla pruden-
te proceder per grades, en- ell
orden que sigue:
|. Estudiar la question de
un modo organize.
II. Fijar ell programa y
los particulares de una Con-
ferencia international de De
legados de las Sociedades
Geograficas y otras Asocia-
clones, segdn he indicado an
teriormente.
III. Invitar 4 las Socieda
des Geograhcas para que
nombren sus Delegados y pa
ra funcionar a su vez como
centres para distrlbuir las in
vitaciones a las demas Insti-
tuciones, citadas prudente'
mente, cada una en- los limi
tes del pals a que pertenece.
Pienso que esta en- ell inte-
res de la ciencia aseguyarse
de un modo practice, en- los
ambientes menos prepara-
doss para comprender la uti'
lidad de acudir en- su ayuda,
cuando Sc trate de deSarro-
liar una acci6n cualquiera de

En- el case especial, que
nosotros consideramos, la

Suponed que dicha oficina

combinada de ge6grafos eX-
perimentados y de valientes
peritos comerciales, reunidos
a expensas de las grandes or

NADIA Sc desperdicie de. todo

den disponer.
iCual sera, pues, ell medic
para llegar a una organiza-

Yo pienso que ell camino
que debemos seguir es el de
promover, en- un momento
dado, una conferencia inter

vitados los delegados de las
corporaciones siguientes: $50

Yo pienso, como va he di-

tender que la empresa de

fuera possible, ell campo de Ia

parramado, que no seria pc-
sible obtener ning1n resulta

Prec'samente de esta OBJ
servaci6n mace Ia necesidad
de la cooperation internacio-

Sc trata, pues, hacer de

tie la mano a la empresa CO.

Dos funciones deberian ser

iron filings, which adheres only TO
the dense portions. The transmitting
apparatus consists essentially OF a
clockwoT driven carriage, which
moves a style backward and forward
until it touches every part OF the
picture once, and as tho raised sur
face is met the style is pushed up
slightly, thus closing the gap in a re
lay circuit. The relay current causes
an induction soil to transmit an cleo
trio wave. The receiver is a sim liar
instrument in which the style, nor
mally raised, is depressed whenever
the electric wave acts upon the
coherer, and thus closes suitable
circuit. Perfect synchronizing is
ensured by causing the wave from the
transmitter to start the carriage of
the receiver at the beginning of each
new stroke.
Asbestos wood, which seems to be
attracting attention as a new struct-
ural material, is made chiefly from
asbestos fiber, and is stated to be
about two-thirds as strong as ordin
airy wood and to take higher polish.
it is as easily worked as oak and
maple, while nails hold in it better.
The material is now usually made in
sheets three by four feet in size, and
is adapted for roofing and walls, but
it can be panelled for wainscoting or
doors, or nodded into ornamental
trimmings.
Statistics published by the British
Department of Agriculture show that
30 per cent of Austria is under forest
7, per cent uf Denmark, 5.3 per cent
of England, 4.6 per cent of Scotland,
but only 1.5 per cont of ireland. A
timber industry and other great
benefits for Ireland are anticipated
from the reforesting movement now
enthusiastically under way.

Largest Clock Ever Made.

What will be, when finished, the
largest clock IN the world is being put
in place on a manufacturing plant in
Jersey City. The dial will he % feet
in diameter and will have an area OF
over 1,134 square feet, or 544 more
square feet than there are in the face
of the clock in the city hall in Phila
delphla, which has held the record
for years. The cluck will weigh
about six tons. The minute hand is
1871 feet long and, with its counter
poise, weighs one-third of ton.
The hand will travel % inches every
minute OR over half mile a day.
The weight which moves the hands
tips the scales at 1000 pounds. The
hands and numerals on the face OF
the clock will be outlined with in
candescent lights, enabling people
miles away to tell the time at night.
1t Will be regulated by the standard
time at Washington.
