the start. Kites also are to I've flown
above Bohio and Tabernilla.
AS the aviator nears Culebrs. he will
find that the direction Of the wind will
change appreciably and that whereas
the trade wind on leaving Colon was
blowing from the northeast around Gu
Zebra and thence to the Pacific coast
it's direction is north, a variation of
forty-ive degrees. This wind blows at
a rate of thirteen miles an hour COM
pared with sixteen at Colon. The
change, together with the fact that
the cross currents down around the
deep cut at Gold hill at the "%continen-
tai divide Of the Cordilleras are
treacherous, will make a considerable
altitude at Culebra imperative.
The route beyond Culebra to Balboa,
the newer name for La Boca harbor,
| at the Pacific end Of the canal, Is un-
mistakable, and few markers, If any,
will be necessary. A considerable
dumping ground at Paradise, then the
locks at Pedro Miguel-"Peter MagiV'
the Miraflores locks constitute a chain
easily visible ut any reasonable height.
From Miraflores the end is easily in
sight, as the Pacific outlet is but five
miles distant. The wind in this stretch,
a constant north breeze, blows twelve
miles an hour.
At Corozal, a mile beyond, a landing
place might be found, but the dump at
Balboa, a new breakwater in the max
ing, seems to afford the best and soft
est landing spot. Here it is proposed
to hoist an American flag, indicative
of the terminal point of the flight,

Varnish of Hard Rubber.

A hard rubber varnish is easily and
satisfactorily made from wornout
household articles, like old rubber
combs, brush backs, etc., and is serv-
iceable. Melt the old rubber in an
iron pot, constantly stirring to prevent
burning, and pour the fluid out on an
iron plate to cool. When the mass is
hardened break into small fragments
and put in a large flask or bottle.
Pour over the hard rubber five or ten
times It's bulk Of rectihed oil Of tur'
pentine and put aside for several
weeks, when the solution will be ready
to use as a varnish.

comes from the machine in its full
natural length of fiber without being
cut or broken and without kinks.
With long fiber staple it is claimed
that the machine can do twice the

turn out a superior grade of cotton to
that of the roller gin, while with up
land cotton, which the ordinary roller
gin Is unable to handle, less is ginned,
vet the increased length of fiber and
the better condition Of the lint give in
creased value to the product. The diff
ference between the cotton ginned by
the old processes and by the teazer gin
is apparent at a glance. 1t is loose and
fluffy, with longer and straighter fbers4
so much so, in fact, as to arouse the
interest of many spinners to whom
this condition appeals. The seeds and
refuse are stripped clean and do not
need to go back for a second ginning
to remove any clinging fiber. Numer
GUS other economies are claimed fol
this new machine, which for Its oper
alton requires less power than the or
binary roller gin.

the bolls as picked. the two main
processes involve the use of the saw
gin. improved from that invented by
Eli Whitney, and the roller gin, a ma
chine evolved from a primitive device
used for centuries in India.
Recently there has been invented an
improved teaZer cotton gin which
combines the best features of these
two fundamental types in practical
form, being able to work on any kind
Of cotton and producing for the spin
ner a better grade Of lint that is with
out cuts, breaks, strains or kinks, In
which the full length Of the fiber Is re-
tanned. This American teazer cotton
gin is the invention Of James Brandon
Of New York and has been tested dur
ing the past year in the south and at
textile exhibitions. 1t consists OF a
hopper into which the cotton as 1t

of Panama, and found few level or
nearly level spots which would permit
a safe landing and reascension.
Mr. Harmon is to leave New York
on Feb. 25 on the 1850 ton steamship
the Moltke, which is due at Colon on
the morning Of March 10. AS now
planned, the ship is to proceed to her
pier, and while passengers are landing
from the starboard side the runway
for the %aeroplane is to be adjusted ON
the port side.
The runway is to be at least 125
feet long, consisting Of a framework
suspended by angle irons over the side.
Along the floor Of the runway there
will be three parallel grooves in which
the skids Of the machine are to run,
and these little troughs are to be thor
oughly soaped so that the a%eroplane
may acquire its full momentum.
After the passengers have been land
ed and the runway adjusted the
Moltke will steam out to a point in
