Hydroaeroplanes.

The idea of the hydrOaeroplane was
suggested in patent specifications by
Hugo Matullath of New York in 1899.
but it had its practical origin in Glenn
Curtiss, who added floats to the aero
plane with which he was experiment
ing over Lake Keuka in 1908. These
were placed under each wing, so that
In case of accident the machine would
not sink. Langley and others had
made their experimental flights over
bodies of water for like reasons"
Probably the first to make the floats
an integral part Of his machine was
Fabre, who on March %, 1910, made
the first fight with a practical hydro
aeroplane at Martignes on the Seine.
Curtiss soon abandoned floats and built
boat bodies. and for this accomplish
ment he received the Aero Club Of
America trophy In 1911.

ANALYSES AND ASSAYS OF ROCKS.
What the Geological Survey Can Do with
Your Specimens.

The question is frequently asked of the
| United States geological survey, depart
ment of the interior, what is the diff
ference between an assay, an analysis
and an expert examination of speci-
men of rock or mineral-such a specimen
as may be sent to the geological survey
by anyone who has found or thinks he
has found valuable mineralI' Most OF
the surveys correspondents ask for as
says of their specimens, Others ask for
analyses, and few appear to distinguish
between the two. The geological survey
can make neither an assay nor an analy-
sis for private parties; it can, however,
make a visual inspection of specimen,
or it can make simple chemical test
to determine whether the specimen con-
tains commercial amount of some val
ua BILE mineral, such as potash. Ninety
nine out of every hundred specimens sub
mitted to the survey are found to be
commercially valueless. A complete
analysis of rock that is composed of
many different minerals may require the
more or less continual attention of a
chemist for month or six weeks, and
such work is done by the survey only in
cations. An assay, on the other hand,
Is usually fire test made to determine
the exact test metal content of an ore
specimen. The geological survey makes
no assays for private parties.
The survey has recently reprinted its
bulletin APP, by w. F. Hillebrand, en-
titled "The Analysis of Silicate and
Carbonate Rocks" This is revision OF
bulletin 305, which was so highly valued
in Germany that it was there translated
and republished. 1t contains a detailed
description of the analytical methods en-
ployed in the laboratory of the United
States geological survey and represents
the experience gained in the analysis of
more than a thousand igneous rocks
alone. These analyses have been carried
to degree of completeness previously
by methods that have been
tested and proved, some OF
them devised in the survey.

STATE REGULATION
OF WAGES, HOURS, ETC.
Was Considered at Convention of Nation
al Municipal League in Springfield,
Mass.-Committee on Fran
chises Reported.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 24.-State OF
municipal regulation of wages, hour:
and conditions of employment of public
utility employees, was discussed in re,
port presented to-day to the National
Municipal league convention by Delos F
Wilcox, chairman of the committee on
franchises, who was for several years
chief of the bureau of franchises of the
New York state public service commits
sion for the first district
The interest of the public in the con
tinuity of operation of public utilities is
sufficient, says the report, to warrant
the employment of legal measures TO
prevent strikes, especially on street rail
way and telephone systems, but the com.
mittee recognizes that the right to strike
cannot be taken away from such en-
ployes until the public in some way
as to wages, hours of labor and condi
tions of work will be conserved.
Discussing the right of corporations to
earn fair return, the committee points
out that in some cases public utility
services are worth more than the con-
sumers have to pay for them, and that
the public might well afford to pay high
er rates, If revenues at existing rates
were insufficient to afford the employe a
living wage and the corporation living
income.
The committee was in favor of insert
ing certain general clauses in franchise
grants, not determining specific schedules
of wages and hours, but establishing a
definite method for the settlement of la
Dor disputes as they may arise.
The report continues:
"The committee does not favor the
principle of fixing wages and hours OF
labor in specific cases by legislative act
without investigation. Legislation, like
franchise contracts, should concern itself
with the establishment of gen
eral principles and the creation OF means
for the amicable settlement of specific
disputes as they arise. The committee
feels some doubt as to the particular
character of the tribunal upon which
should be conferred the authority to set
tie these disputes, but in view of the con
troll already exercised by the public serv-
ice COMMISSIONS over Idles. Hidllci hh7b

"The reply concludes that the surren-
