OF the planes are driven by chains
from the motor in the same way as
on the Wright biplane. The aviator

placed apart on each side. The motor
used is a 70,horsepower 4-cylinder
water-cooled engine.
The Breguet biplane is of the old
type, but the undercarriage has been
changed and now carries three
wheels. The Breguet is notable In
that 1t has only three or four up
rights connecting the main planes at
the front. 1t is quickly dismounted,
and for this reason is excellent for
military use

Pratt Again Conducts Tests

B. B. Pratt, of the pomologicai Office
of the United States Bureau Of Agri.
culture, VINO has been stationed in
Portland for the past year. spent last
week here securing apples with which
to conduct storage tests in Portland.
Mr.. Pratt, who has left for Washing
ton. D. G., where he will spend several
weeks in connection with his work,
says that he will use about 600 boxes
of fruit this year.
Storage tests will be made along the
same lines used last year, when the
experiments demonstrated that An
thracnose was the cause of the decay
of much of the western fruit in stor-
age. Tests will be made to determine
the comparative keeping qualities of
ripe fruit and that partially green,
well and lightly colorad. Mr. Pratt
says that it will be almost impossible
to determine the different keeping
qualities of fruit grown On different
soils. The fruit companies, handling
apples from different districts, by
making observations covering long
periods, can make more headway along
this line than can our experiments.

In what form Is lead lightest on the

tempted to tell how to make the proof,
but It isn't the easiest thing In the
world either to prepare the pound Of
lead or place 1t in position for the
proof He says that making 1000 small
balls Of the pound of lead the weight
remains the same though the surface Is
greatly increased. Then reduce the
small balls into l.OOO.OOO balls, with
the surface enormously increased. but
the balls still weigh the one pound in
the scales But this scientist says that
IL these 100000 shot particles further
are reduced to one twenty thOusandth
of an inch each, they will rest In the
atmosphere just where they are
placed. This for the reason that that
