 BERLIN, Feb. 2S.-TWo Austrian inventors announce the perfection of light bomb" which will make safe the landing by aeroplane at night. The device, which is attached to an aeroplane and may be released at will, is fitted with a parachute and burns four minutes, Illuminating all the country below. Tn recent test the bomb, released at a height of 800 yards, lighted up the country for a radius of about a mile and a half so brightly that the aviator had no diffi- culty in selecting his best landing place. The device can also be used in warfare for scout work at night, the aeroplane above the light being invisblt
 Such a device has long been need ed, for up-to-date aviation is calling fer flights at night in order to break l long distance flight records and to take advantage of wind still hours Most of the competitors in the last grand prize race in Germany accom- plished parts of their flights by night, but this was so hazardous that a number of aviators were killed in trying to land in the dark. Award of the royal life-saving medal has been made to Lieut.. Otto Bertram, naval aviator, for an act Of aerial daring which prevented a fatal fall for Aviator Sablatnig and himself near Berlin The left wing tip of their aeroplane broke when the aviators were some 600 yards above a lake. Sablatnig, who was steering, endeavored to volplane to earth. but the machine, owing to the broken wing, tipped to the left and plunged sideWise toward the ground. Bertram, with great presence of mind, crawled out upon the opposite wing. righted the machine by his weight, and chung to his perch until the aviators landed badly shaken up, but not seriously injured, in shallow water.
 The German Aviator Schlegel this month accomplished his 2,OO0th as cent, showing that aeroplaning for a | careful flyer is not highly dangerous. | He covered in his 1000 flights over
 1S.O00 miles and spent SS0 hodrs in l the air.

 LIVERPOOL Feb. 2S.-Search of a | garbage wagon which was about to
 be hauled away from the Liverpool
 Infirmary recently brought to light
 $5,000 worth of radium. Two tubes.
 one containing thirty and the other
 fifty milligrams of radium had been applied to the face of a patient at
 the infirmary. When a member of ! the staff came to remove the radium
 the next morning the larger tube was
 missing. The most minute search
 was made, the patient even being
 photographed by X-ray to see if he
 had swallowed the tube. It was sug- gested that the tube might have ! fallen out of the dressing and had
 been swept out along with the ward
 sweepings. These had been placed
 in garbage wagon, which was or
 the point of being driven away, wher
 Professor Wilberforce of the Chi
 versity of Liverpool searched tht
 gabage, a bucketful at a time, unti
 the twelfth bucketful resulted in the recovery of the tube.
