New Gas Discovered Will
Aid Possibilities
of Flight

The new gas, however, a
new gas such as is described has
really been found-rr1ay add i'm
mensely to the possibilities of
fight within the limits of the at
mosphere. A relatively small
vessel containing such gas
would possess the lifting power
of a large balloon without pre-
senting as great surface to the
wind, and it might easily be en-
ployed as an accessory to the
aeroplane, enabling the latter to
rise more directly and to ride
the air more steadily. There
would be no danger of fall
with an aeroplane furnished with
receptacles containing a gas 10
times lighter than hydrogen.
Then, too, the planes might be
made smaller and more man.

whichsmany inventors have been
trying to obtain by vertically
acting air screws would be read

A VAGRANT MIND
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

sINCE early this morning the world has seemed surgng
~ With unworded rhythm and rhyme without thought
III may be the MUSES. take this way of urging
The patience and pains by which poems wrought.
1t may singer who passed into glory,
With songs all unfinished, is lingering
And trying tell me the rest of the story,
Which dull of perception to hear.
hear not, see not; but I feel the swinging
And swaying of metre, in sunlight and shade;
The still arch of Space with such music is ringing
AS audible orchestra made
The moments glide by me, and each one is dancing;
Aquver with life is each leaf on the tree
And out the is movement enhancing,
AS bllow with bilow goes racing with glec.
With a thought that is worthy the saying
And a theme TO be put into song,
Since early this morning mind has been straying.
"A vagabond thing, with vagabond throng.
With gay, idle moments, and waves of the ocean,
With winds and with sunbeams and tops and birds
1t has lifted along in the joy of motion,
To songs without music and verse without words

THE statement has just ap-
peared in print that, owing
to the' discovery by Sir Will
liam Ramsay of gas 10 times
lighter than hydrogen, it may
become possible to send a bal
loon from the earth to the moon
or to other planets.
If this could be done it would
be. the most wonderful thing
ever accomplished by man. A
voyage to the moon would be
an experience of indescribable
J novelty and infinitely more mar
velous than Columbus first
crossing of the Atlantic.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1913-10-10

until it practically ceases to ex-
ist. The balloon then would
come to rest, being unable ever
to get out of the atmosphere.
In the present state of science
the only solution of the problem
of navigating space appears to
be indicated by the property of
electric repulsion. If a car could
be constructed bearing an cleo
trio charge, opposite in kind to
that of the earth, then perhaps it
could be made to fly away in
spite of gravitation, and if the
repulsive force could be caused
to act continuously it might go
as far as the moon, or farther.
But this is only the statement
of an idea. We have no means
of making such an electrically
charged car, and the charge that
would be required is so enor-
nous that its production seems
impossible. Then, of course,
there are other immense diff
culties in the way. 1t is suffi-
cient to state only one of them.
We can not live without breath
ing that mixture of oxygen and
nitrogen which we call air. If
man undertook to cross the air
less space between the earth and
the moon he would have TO
carry with him some substitute
for air, to say nothing of the
cargo of eatables and drinkables
that he would require!
Yet, | personally have little
doubt that if humanity continues
for thousands of years to make
progress in its knowledge of the
laws and forces of nature COM
parable with what it has made
in the last 100 years, and in con-
tinuation of the same, the prob
lem of human. flight in open
space will be solved. But it
will not be solved by the use of
any gas, however buoyant.

HOW TO BUILD A
GOOD SAND-CLAY ROAD
Blending of Materials 10 a Difficult
Problem.

It's mighty good thing to know
how to build a good sand-clay road.
These materials are used when the
road consists OF too much sand or too
much clay for satisfactory road ma
terial. A sand road is best when it is
wet and worst when dry and clay
road worst when wet and best when
dry. The proper blending of these two
materials. therefore. tends to overcome
these objections
The materials must be carefully pro-
portioned and thoroughly mixed. II
there is an excess OF sand more bind
ing material should be added in the
form of clay. and If there is too much
clay water has a softening effect and
the road becomes sticky and wears
into ruts. All clays will not serve for
this purpose, since some tend to dis
integrate and crumble when dry. A
plastic clay with binding and cement
ing qualities is needed.
The roadbed must first be graded
and drained. IL the predominating
material is sand. then clay should be
spread over the surface at the de-
sired width. the depth being regulated
by the judgment of the roadmakers
and the efficiency OF the mixture de
termined by experimentation. After
the amount deemed sufficient has been
added use the plow and disk TO thor
oughly mix the two ingredients. drag
the surface smooth and pack it either
with the roller or by travel. Best re-
suits are obtained If this mixing and
packing is done while the road is wet
and II will frequently pay to wait fol
rain to do this.
II an excess of either clay or sand
appears add more Of the lacking ele-
ment and keep working the road. II
may take few months to make road
which will bear the traffic. Where
the amount of clay or sand. as the
case may be, to be added is not great
mixing and rolling may sometimes be
dispensed with. the natural effect of
travel being to perform this work.
Results will be slower. however. aud
probably not so satisfactory.-Oran

Fattenina Cattle.

The Indiana experiment station has
found that the best winter ration for
fnttening cattle consists OF two and

1000 pounds Of live weight and all the
corn sIlage the animal will eat, with a
small amount OF dry roughage like
clover or alfalfa hay or corn slower or
oat straw added Steers fed on this
ration made the best gains with the
