The apparently calm atmosphere
a bove abounds with air pockets, wind
eddies and treacherous gusts ever
ready to toss the unwary airman and
his machine to earth.
At the cost of many valuable lives
number of these death traps set
by nature nave been discovered, but
although the experienced a!rman
knows they are there he is never
really certain of emerging unscathed
from such encounters.
one of the best known and most
dreaded air traps is the air pocket or
"remous," as 1t is called in flying
parlance. This is a kind of hole in
the air of irregular shape, which rem
ders no support to the wings of an
aeroplane, neither can propeller
blades grip" in those portions of
the atmosphere.
These pockets are often to be found
over wooded country or in valleys
surrounded by irregular ranges of
hills. But they are mainly formed
by the sun shining on the damp
ground The heat of the solar rays
draws the moisture from the ground
and dots the atmosphere around
with patches of vacuum. This is why
airmen always fight shy of flying in
bright sunlight.
Airmen are always nervous of fly
ing low over wooded country, al
though a low altitude is often neces-
sary. IL landmarks are to be picked
out and the proper flying route taken.
For trees have a dangerous knack
of throwing off treacherous air cur
rents which may easily spell disaster
to the airman.
A breeze near the ground, as il
kstrikes the tree branches. is directed
straight up through the air. The air
man flying low over the tree catches
| this upward current under one OF
his wings, which pushes the machine
over at a dangerous angle and the
| inevitable side slip intervenes. The
one great precaution against air cur
rents of this description is high speed
which gives the aeroplane sufficient
stability to withstand diverse cur
rents of this kind.
For similar reason no aviator. I'M
less forced to do so, will fly low over
congested city. The uprising
smoke from chimneys, especially tall
factory shafts, send up powerful cur
rents of air. which are certain "a
wreck his machine should they strike
| it unawares.

BOIL SEA BIRDS
TO MAKE BINDER TWlNE

The most southern industry in the
wofld is believed to be the strange
business established on Macquarie
Island. a barren nesting place for
sea birds, which lies about 100 miles
southeast of Tasmania. the large
island situated little south of Aus
tralia.. which is noted for its fine ap-
Piles. many sheep and valuable timber,
and as being the birthplace of Mrs.
Humphry Ward, the English novel
list. Macquarie Island is the home OF
vast numbers of penguins, the popu-
lation of these big birds being esti-
mated at 100000 on an area of u.s.
900 acres.
The penguins are boiled in digest
ers," holding about 500 birds at
time. and when the steam is turned
off and water pumped into the bot
toms of the digesters the oil rises to
the top and is drawn off into barrels.

 In addition to the houses, Dr. Tracy expects also to take picture of streets, and in connection with the houses there will be written records tracing their ownership back, in many cases to the torical writing will be compiled also by Dr. Tracy, but he will have assist ance on this side as we'll
 About the oldest house that he has taken so far is the Daniel Tracy (1652- 172S) house at Norwich Town, the home of the first Norwich man of the name. It is on East Town street, and is now owned and occupied by the Bacheler family.
 In making his photos1 aphs Dr. Ira cy works with the eye and discrimina- tion and patience of an artist and has frequently taken some of them over four or five or six times before he got just what satisfied him. He has tried them at all times of the day and has had some of his finest results from pie lures taken in the early morning be- fore 6 o'clock or in the evening after sundown. In the work that he is do- ing now he is giving his services out of interest for what he expects the collec- tion to amount to, and the society is saved from mourning expense by the owners of houses who pay about the actual cost of the pictures.

 The cockpit was a mass of flames instantly and the fire quickly spread so that 1t was not long before the launch had been burned to the water s edge.
 MT. Potter was unable to rescue his coat. which contained some valuable papers; in fact, nothing on the boat was saved. The launch was a total loss. It was valued az $S00

MERIDEN POLICE GAVE
 GREAT PROGRAMME,
Norwich Delegates Report the Finest Kind of Time at Convention,

Captain Dennis J.

 soon after arrival at the Meriden headquarters the visiting officers were treated to a nice spread, and this fav- orable impression made at the start was continued right through up to the farewells. There was big auditori- um in the same building as headquar- ters, and here the meetings where business was tranacte1 were held A photograph of the convention delegates was taken, and when the business was over there was another installment of the admirable arrangements which provided for the social enjoyment of the delegates to the convention This was in a magnificent banquet. which was furnished at the hotel. An orcheS- tra played, there were a dozen or more bright speeches, and three fine solo numbers in the musical part of the entertainment, One of those to speak was Bank Commissioner Norris $. Lippitt
 Souvenirs that the delegates receiv ed were pocketknives made in Meri- den and put in a nice case while ev- cry delegate was decked in a handsome red ribon badge. At the close of the banquet the entire assemblage sang America.
 . After the banquet a fleet of automo- piles was waiting and all hands were conveyed in them to West Peak. an elevation of 4300 feet, which the men were told was part of the Blue Ridge range. The orchestra. was taken along, and there was another spread up there in the grove, and this was followed by a most entertaining programme of athletic sports. At about r o'clock the programme at the park was over.
 Any other city that equals the Meri- den mems entertainment of the con vention will have to do some hustling, say the Norwich delegates.
