Interest in the Rat
Eradication Campaign.

The campaign for the eradication Of
rats in Pensacola is eliciting interest
ard support on all sides.
The city commissioners are offering
bounty for rats presented at the city
hall. A public spirited citizen offers
a reward to the person catching 'the
most rats. Another interested citizen
offers d suggestion for killing them.
Other citizens are offering rewards to
their servants and children for the rats
that are caught on the home premises
or in places of business. Everybody
is getting interested.
The Journai would suggest that
every resident of the city offer a rev.
ard of % cents for every rat caught
on his home premises or in his place
of business. This will stimulate the
children ard the servants. In addition
to this 2o-cent reward, the rat will
still call for a bounty of 10 cents at the
city hall, making a to:aI of 35 cents
per rat.
Let everybody get busy and the city
will soon be rat-free.

Electric Gyroscope for
Stabilizing Aeroplanes.

Public tests at Bezons, France, have
proved that electrically driven gyro-
scopes are effective in stabilizing aero
planes, says the Electrical World.

right angles were employed for stabil-
tty. While aloft in a machine thus
equipped. the inventor of the STABILIZE
ing device. Mr.. Elmer A. Sperry,

to have left their seats, while the
pilot abandoned his position at the
steering wheel and climbed out onto
ore of the planes, the aeroplane mean
while flying steadily under automatic
control. It. is possible to tilt the ma
chine sufficiently to make turns safe
ly, but the aviator cannot tilt the ma
chine TO n dangerous angie. The gy-
roscopes operate delicate valves lead
ing to two servo motors which control
the planes and steering gear of the
machine.
The entire astabilizing equipment
weighs 100 pounds and is operated by
alternating current from a generator
driven by the aeroplane engine. When
the machine travels too slowly or rises
at too great an angle the control be-
comes automatic and the machine VOL

Record Breaking Year
In Cement Production.

The increased uses to which cement
Is being put is having an effect on the
production of that valuable construo-
ton material. The year 1913 was a
record-breaker in the cement industry,
according TO Ernest F. Burchard, of
the United States Geographical Sur
vey. in a chapter from Mineral Re-
sources, 1913" just published. The to-
tai quantity of Portland. natural, and
puzzolaE cement produced in the Uni
ted States last year was the greatest
in the history OF the cement industry,
amounting to 92.949,102 barrels, valued
at $93.001.169, compared with S3,35l,-
191 barrels, valued at s67,461513, in
1912.
The total production of Portland
cement in 1913 as reported to the Geo
logical Survey was e2.Oe7,131 barrels.
valued at $92.557.617; the production
for 1912 was s2.43S,Os6 barrels, valued
at Ss7.o16,92s. The quantity of Port
land cement produced, 92,097,1Sl bar
rels. is equivalent to 15,623,Sa0 long
tons. Compared with the production
of pig iron for 1918, which was so, $685.
Sol long tons. the Portland cement
production is nearly sos per cent of
the quantity of pig iron.
OF the lis producing plants in the
United States in 1918. % were in the
State of Pennsylvania, whose output
was 2S,701,S45 barrels of Portland ce-
ment, the largest quantity produced
by any one state. The second greatest
production came from Indiana, with
10,S72.574 barrels, and California was
third, with 6,15s,1s2 barrels.
The natural cement produced in the
United States in 1913 amounted to
744,65s barrels of 265 pounds each, VAL
ued ct s345,Ss9, compared with an
output of s21,2S1 barrels, valued at
$367,222, in 1912, a decrease in 1918 of
76,573 barrels and of $21,333 in value.
Puzzolan cement was manufactured in

States, in Alabama, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. The output of puzzolan and
