Holes in the Air Found by Aviators

The risk is not SO great in CAL
ifornia as in the Northern States.
Thus high building inclosing
heavy steel Orders and beams in
Duluth and Chicago must be
builded with greater care on this
important point than at any place
in California in more equable
temperature. Thus, in Chicago
the cold has been 80 degrees be-
low zero, Fahrenheit. and 104
above, a difference of 1875 degrees.
Scientific tests have been made
with this result: A bar Of ordt-
nary structural steel increases It's
length by the .o0O0o672 part with
each added degree Fahrenheit.
Therefore, in from eight to fifty
story buildings, with widths from
40 to 200 feet, these variations
become quite appreciable and
must be compensated for by
placing ends of beams, bars and
uprights free t. move. And cleo
trolysis OF steel and iron Is an
other danger, one that arises from
fugitive currents of electricity es-
Gaping from mains and forming
obscure circuits in buildings and

Garrett P. Serviss
Writes on A
Autos for Fishes
He Tells How Paris Has 3 AA
AdoptedMeans for Supply
ing Fresh Fish to Those
Who Wish to Eat Them. -
By GARRETT P. SERVISS

r I'VE fish travel by automo-
bile in Paris now. They
go to the guillotine, 1t Is
true-the guillotine of the kitch-
en-but they have fast and
ultra modern city life while 1t
lasts.
Before they reach the capital
they make long journeys by rail-
way, in special cars, where they
swim in tanks filled with purer
and better aerated water than
they, perhaps, have ever known,
which is kept in circulation for
their special qualification by up
to-date combustion engines.
Every resource of science is
exhausted to make these travel
ing fish as luxuriously comfort
able as so many -groomed
passengers in a parlor car.
Unaware of It.
Naturally, they are unaware
that all this is done not out of
tender consideration for them, but
in order that they may arrive in
Paris in prime physical condition
and in the highest piscatorial
spirits, their eyes bright, their
gills pink with health, their fms
and tails quivering with vivacity
for Ash that come to the cooks
griddle in such an animated
mood taste much better than 9TH
ers.
And to insure that they SHALL
arrive in that desirable humor
their last ride, as already said,
is taken in an automobile, as lux
uriously furnished, from the
fishes point of view, as was their
special car on the railway.
Leaving these sentimental con-
siderations for those who appre-
ciate them, the mechanical per-
fections of this new system Of
fish transportation are worthy Of
attention.
The special car in which the
live fish ride is furnished with a
dozen large tanks containing pure
water, and trimmed in such a
manner that the Earring caused

the tank.
Motor in Cabin.
At the end of the car Is a
cabin containing an explosion
motor of four horsepower, which
drives a centrifugal pump that
keeps the water circulating in the
tanks. The water is drawn from
the bottom Of the tanks, forced
upward through tubes, and final
ly discharged from suspended
taps back into the top Of the
tanks.
In its passage through the air
1t is supplied with oxygen and
thus kept suitable for the use Of
the fish, who apparently like it as
well as II 1t were bubbling at the
foot of a waterfall. In summer
time ice is supplied to the taps
to keep the water at an agreea-
Bile temperature.
The automobiles employed for
this purpose are furnished with
tank behind the drivers seat
and a small engine to keep the
water in circulation, every pre-
caution being taken to prevent
any injury to the fish in the act
of transference from one recep-
tacle to another.
Paced in Tank.
For simple city delivery 1t is
unnecessary to keep the water in
circulation, but sometimes an
automobile is employed to con-
vey fish on Journeys of ten or
twelve hours, and then the water
circulating motor is set to work
Before their delivery to custo-
mers the fish are placed in
huge tank, owned by the society
above mentioned, which is sup
piled with water from a special
well, delivered through taps by
means Of compressed air, and
kept continually fresh and oxy-
genated by system Of connect
ing pipes.

TOWNSEND DISCUSSES
WATERWAY PLANS

Detroit, Mich, January 22-United
States Senator Charles f. Townsend of
Michigan told the members of the Lake
Carriers association, at their annual
banquet here tonight, that the annual
volume of commerce on the great lakes
would be 10 times as great as the most
optimistic estimate of annual commerce
through the Panama canal, If the national
waterway course from the head of the
lakes to the Gulf of st. Lawrence were
sufficiently improved to enable ocean go-
ing vessels to reach lake ports.
Senator Townsend discussed the water
way plan at length and predicted the ma
ffne improvement, costing many millions
of dollars, eventually would be made,
either by Canada alone or by the United
States and Canada, but urged co-opera-
: ton by the two countries
There are three great possible obstacles
to overcome said Mr.. Townsend "They
are the railroads, international compli-
cations and the cost"
