Hats and Hot Waather

Badness is to great extend due to the hat habit. Hatless peoples are not bald. The follicles at the roots of the hair become atrophied without plenty of air and moisture. Similarly great heat of the head kills the hair, like fever or severe and protracted headaches that raise the temperature of the scalp.
 So anything that makes the head hot ter in summer is not only bad for the hair, but bad for tho health. If hats are worn at all in hot weather there should be plsnty of openings in the top and side for free circulation of air. Also the old-fashioned and the present tropical habit of putting large green leaf in the crown is most admiable. A damp sponge is just as good hygienically, although uncomfortable aud sometimes ridiculous.

Twenty-Five Years at Yale

Dean Henry P. Wright, of Yale Uni versity. who retires at this commence. ment after having held the most import ant position in the faculty next to that of president for a period of twenty-five years, has been the head of the Acade. mic Department during the chief part of Yale's marvellous advancement. Since Dean Wright has been in office the number of students at the university has increased threefold and the same may be said of the instructing force. It is only necessary to recall the career of Dean Wright since he has held his i'm. portant post to point out the wonderful strides which have been made by the university, and in which Dean Wright has a noteworthy factor. His retire ment will be looked upon with regret by the some 30000 graduates of Yale scat tered throughout the country.

OLD PROBLEMS REVIVED.

Air cooling horizontal cylinders. at
nospheric inlet valves and such methods
are much 20 the fore again. and designers
are struggling with long discarded problems
with all the energy and keenness associated
with the investigation OF a new principle
L il were definitely proved that air cooling
was satisfactory, great strides would have
been made There are numerous examples
OF the principle. but there remain. it is said
an even larger number OF =kilful designers
who fear to discard water.
The problem Of air cooling" said an
engineer a few days ago, is very largely
matter Of whether it is really possible by
any system Of fans TO get enough air 20
flow in contact with the cylinder walls in a
given time TO take away the necessary
amount OF heat" The easily seen problem,
therefore. is one Of air versus water cool
ing. From this on the labyrinthIne maze

steel for pistOns and including the constant
point for discussion as 20 how light 10 the

These two methods Of cooling. however.
have been carefully studied and practically
demonstrated. The Antoinette and the Du-

FsrcOt and the Esnaut Pelterie are air
cooled. The AntOinette. made by Levavas-
seur. is used by Bleriot, De la Grange and
