a most absolute engine reliability and efficiency. with a reserve capacity to carry a great quantity of fuel, will be demanded. In any event it is safe to assume that the pioneer who first attempts to cross sne Atlantic by aeroplane may depend upon 1t that the navies of nearly all the nations of the earth will patrol the waters in d search for him in case of mishap, a pros pect that must prove far more encourag- ing than any that presents itself to the ordinary shipwrecked mariner.
 The value of such a flight is beyond computation. At first certain to be re- garded as no more than a wonderful achievement, accomplished by some death defying daredevil who has the courage to place his life in the balance against hon ors and rewards, the ultimate result must be that from the inevitable repititions of the flight a great commercial utility must grow. It is quite likely that this utility may not soon, if it ever does, assume the form of regular passengE' transportation, but think of the importance, the great value, of being able to whirl special classes of mail matter at frequent inter- vals from one continent to another in a period of hours instead of days. even if nothing further were done. The equip ment necessary for the upkeep of such a service will he much less expensive than is required by the Transatlantic steam

We then can say that some Co lumbus of the air, who within the next few months, or at any time. will not ae- complish this prodigious feat of ffylng across the Atlantc? Who can say that he will not jokey his craft into one of the intercontinental air currents far above the earths surface and add to the velocity Of vastly improved machine an atmos- pheric drift that may make the greatest speeds of travel now known seem by com parison mere crawling?

TRIP TO TENNESSEE DAM
 WELL WORTH WHILE FOR LOCAL AUTOMOBILISTS
News and Gossip Among the Automobile People-Taxcab Company Changes Hands-Preparing for the Big
 Show That Takes Place Next Month
BY CLYDE W. ENNIS

One of the most interesting sights of the Birmingham district is the lake of the Tennessee company. below Ensley. creat- ed by damming np Village creek below Edgewater. As an objective point for afternoon automobile drives it is very at trative. The roads, according3to informal ton from visitors, are not bad, but are not as good as the citizens of that com munity hope to have them very soon.
 The Tennessee company, it is under stood. has no objection to visitors going to the lake. The lake Is five miles long the dam construction is held by experts to be the best piece of engineering of this district, while the mere sight of the stu pendous water supply convinces the most unbelieving of the gigantic operations of the Tennessee company.
 Leaving Birmingham to go to the dam Ensley must be passed. The route by the fair grounds through Highlands is most attractive. as In that way one may see the vast development there, espe- cially the concrete open tunnel work of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Pow CT company Homes are erected there which are as fine as any in the district and would adorn the most exclusive por- ton of the South Highlands.
 Autoists pass the steel plant out the Nineteenth street road, as If going to Mulga About one mile from where the Mulga road crosses the Camp branch of the Birmingham Southern railroad road leads off to the left which leads to the dam.
 Arriving there one of the most colossal water supplies in the south artificiaIIy created may be viewed. To the left of the dam proper one may see without great trouble the Bridal Veil falls, resembling in the rough picturesqueness of the scene the falls in Yosemite valley, California. The scenery is very enamoring and the general proposition one that Is ample compensation for the probable rough stretch of road that may be followed.
 The banks of the dam are as yet uncom- pleted. It is stated that the Tennessee company proposes to plant in that acreage trees in proper order to keep the banks from washing debris into the lake. Taken altogether the drive to the lake is very in- yiting and enjoyable.

 The show will be open only during the day time. In the evenings the several agencies here will have their down town show rooms open for the inspection of visitors and others interested
 Local dealers anticipate that a vast amount of money will be brought to Bir- mingham by the show, as many cars are expected to be sold during the week.
 Exchange Cars
 Continuing his discussion of exchange cars. Douglas Mcqueen, who is a gradu- ate automobile man. having studied in a half dozen factories and considered the highest local authority of exchange cars, said yesterday:
 The transmission gears are important and your expert engineer will shine here; but anyway, see how heavy the grease is, for the old trick of using lots of thick stuff to kill the rattle is well known and often practiced.
 ''Fhe motor is up next and should hit on all four or six as the. case may be. But first try the compression testing each cylinder separately, to make sure open pet cocks in cylinders No. ?. and turn the motor until you feel compression No. and so on down the line. Compression is lost in many ways-valves may reqtire grinding, chamber plugs loose, spark plug pushing, leaky, etc. Loose connecting rod hearings are sometimes hard to locate exactly but knock is generally due to worn bearings.
 The word lubrica tion should be written in letters mile high to the average own CT of a motor car. and if he could only take down car that had run 15,000 miles he would see what the lack of oil means. Not one car in hundred gets the careful washing and oillng that is due the finest piece of machinery in the world--the mo- tor car.

Catching Microbe of Spring
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Spring is interesting to others besires poets and lovers. Scientific men have been studying it's why and its how and they now tell us that it is due to some- thing widely different from the warming rays of the sun. M Muentz, in an ad- dress before the Academy of Sciences In Paris the other day. asserted that spring was due to microbes.
 When the days grow longer these mil crobes become extraordinarily active and they set up what M. Muentz calls an ex- cessive nitrihcation, without which the earth would remain sterile and the sap would not flow in plants: This activity, he says has nothing to do with the tenn perature, but is due solely to the hered- itary tendency of these microbes to be- come active at this time of the year.
 And it is due to microbe that the young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.

The Automobile Show

Greater interest in the forthcoming au- tonebile show has developed during the past few days, Continual boosting by the automobile men has made its impress upon the community and the indications point to an excellent demonstration of automobiles when the show is held. Space reports indicate, according to Secretary Brownell of the Ford company, that the show will be complete in every detail. Agencies outside of Birmingham learning of the ultimate success are buying space and elaborate plans are being devised to make the show exec ,tionally worth while.

Probably d series of small, slow, mex pensive, but very seaworthy steamers would be the first essential to maintain mail service of this kind. They would be stationed at close and regular intervals from one shore to the other. All that would need be added to these would be a small fleet of aeroplanes, anywhere from a dozen to 100, which could be dispatched in both directions.
 With the development in wireless teleg raphy it might prove possible to maintain constant communication between the aeroplanes and the patrol boats, and thus all the way from land to land. and the only recurring type of accident likely would be the Increasingly frequent invol-

Visitors Buying Cars

During last week many scores of visitors from small cities in this state came to Birmingham to look over the cars and see demonstrations with the view in sight of buying in this city. Efforts to concen- trate the interests of outside residents in Birmingham as a buying center have proven of great value and are going up higher every week It Is stated that ex- tra efforts will be continued during the next few weeks to get visitors to buy cars. This work will be continued into ad- joining states. It Is held that many buy CTS have been going to Atlanta to buy au- tomobiles. However. as every well known considered quite an easy matter to secure the trade for Birmingham.
 Such visitors do not benefit the auto mobile trade alone as Birmingham gets a boost. to say nothing of the small amounts of money left here by everyone that comes to this city.
 It Is stated that visitors were here last week to see the cars of the Drennen com- pany, those sold by C. C. Nixon. Judge Dan Greene had many friends here, while visitors called at the sales rooms of the Highland Garage. the Loveman. Joseph & Loeb garage and practically every one in the city.
 One object of the automobile show to be held here in April will be for the purpose of showing those outside of Birmingham and in other states that this city affords every convenience and claim for the buy CTS. Every car is represented here and every requisite of the automobile may be found in Birmingham.

OF A SCHOOL IN
HORTICULTURE.

At Il meeting OF the Board OF lruS-
tees of the Maryland Agricultural
College and Experiment Station, a
special School of Horticulture was
provided for.
This organization will coordinate
the extension work in horticulture
and greatly increase the stall OF in
structors in this subject at the Cot
lrgr. The plan will enable the work
to be done by Il higher class of men
and make it more permanent, as
their services will be more continu-
Gus. The teachers in the School OF
Horticulture viii be specialists in the
different phases of Horticulture, such
pomoigy, Olrriculturc, Horticulture
and Landscape Gardening, and Bush
and Vine Fruits. They are to be
men whoarr broadly trained and can
act AZ general insp ctors and demon
stratorS in the State Department.
This will give them AN opportunity
to keep in touch with the broa ii .ld
of horticulture in all parts of the
State, and enable them to teach their
subj cts with more direct application
to the students needs.
This organization will also enable
the Institution to develop each phase
Of horticulture in the State and the
people to avail of the help Of special
lists. The plan provides for an cX-

soon, but last Thursday Messrs. William

another lot and when they quit killing
they had l6 big ones-3 rattlers and 10
coppers. They discovered The reptiles
after they had set their bee bait on the

We're coied. They say the rattlers were

Power Co. as soon as the plant is able to
furnish it. The current will be carried
to that place from Thurmont on pole
line elected on the right of way over
which it is proposed to extend the trolley
road to Emmitsburg, which will be con-
structed as soon as power can be obtain
ed. With the price that we understand
has been quoted, viz, 3.6 cents per kilo-
watt hour, we consider them fortunate
indeed, in not being compelled to invest
so much as we have. We also under
stand that this same proposition has been
or will be made to 1hurmont. 1t is self
evident as to the amount of profit in this
if sold at 10 cents per kilowatt hour.
