COVERING FOR AERoPLANES

Various kinds of material. including linen, silk, cotton, celluloid films and aluminium foil. have been tried for GOV cring the wings of aeroplancs. but none has proved so satisfactory SO far as linen covered with several coats of a rubber solution. This coating increas- es the strength of the linen about 2 per cent, makes it more enduring under varying weather conditions and causes it to stretch to an absolutely smooth surface a feature that is of the utmost advantage in fast flights. silk which would seem to make an ideal covering on account of its lightness and strength has been found unsatisfactory. as it does not withstand exposure to sun and rain, and does not lend itself readily to the application of coating com pounds.

A FAMILY IN WHICH JULY 26
 IS A POPULAR BIRTHDAY

The American Magazine has been offering prizes for the best letters Il a contest entitled, The Most EX- raordinary Coincidence l Know Of In the July issue the six prize win ming letters are published. one of these remarkable stories of coinci- dences follows:
 "Onc July day last summer I tele- phoned a friend informing him of a public meeting which l thought he might desire to attend. What is the date?' he inquired. July 26th,' I re piled. at our church. I am sorry. but can't come he answered, that's the date when my father, my son, and l myself celebrate our birth days
 Some time ago, upon seeing your request for contributions on The Most Extraordinary Coincidence l Know of l determined to inquire more definitely into the case which had arrested my attention during the summer. The following is a brief synopsis of the reply I received:
 The grandfather was born in switzerland, July 26 1851. When q young man he came to the United states, married, and made a homo in ohio. The son was born in that Ohio home. July 26, 1877. The son grew up and moved farther west making himself q home in Minnesota. When a son was born in his home the calendar read: July 26 1905.
 Not only do the three birthdays fall on the twenty sixth, but they are separated by two periods of exactly twenty-six years each. In short, a man born July 26 became father of a son July 26, twenty-siX years later, who, in turn. became father of a son, July 26, twentysiX years later

NEW YORK, July 19.-A material recession in war shares particularly specialties which recently formed the center of unrestrained manipulation, constituted a significant feature of he activity of the market.
