MECHANICAL BOOKKEEPER

A machine of simple construction which adds and subtracts, has been in- vented by an Iowan, and is being man. ufactured in Iowa. The complexity of earlier machines on the market is said to have been avoided in this one.
 In addition to it's simplicity the ma chine is said to be a mechanical book keeper. It will take debt and credit items intermittently at the will of the operator, without the necessity of using subtotals, and will give total results. It is especially adaptable for the find ing of trial balances It will produce a customers bank statement entirely comprehensible to the depositor.
 It will keep cash records, merchan- disc records and will make the proper change to the man who proffers check, returns articles for credit or makes numerous purchases of odd am- cunts, and will do all at the will of the operator using one hand and manipu- lating three levers.

NEW FRENCH BALLOON
 SHAPED LIKE TADPOLE

Among the latest triumphs of the French aerial service is a new observa- ton balloon, known as Le Caquot At the beginning of the war observers other than those in aeroplanes utilized kite balloons of the German Drachean type. called by the French soldiers "sausages. There are still some of these at the front but Le Caquot is much preferred
 In shape it resembles a great tad pole Whereas the Drachean is incon- yenienced by wind of from 50 to 55 feet a second Le Caquot can remain in the air unless the wind exceeds 65 to D feet a second.
 It takes fifty experienced men to maneuyer it. for as soon as it leaves the shed great attention must be paid to the wind currents so as to save the envelope from being torn
 Attached to the balloon is wicker car, in which the observer is installed with his maps, charts, arms, barome- ters and telephone, the latter fixed ov- CT his ears, so as to leave his hands free. He also is provided with glasses and white silk parachute for an em. ergency.
 When the balloon attains an alti- tude of from 1000 to 5000 feet the windass to which the cable is fixed is drawn by horses or motor car at q moderate pace to point near the en- emy lines, where a refuge excavated in the soil has been prepared. This accomplished, the observer transmits his instructions by telephone.
 Two anti-aircraft posts are estab. lished near by to keep off the German airplanes. If the balloon is menced the crew brings it down from 5000 feet i'll seven to ten minutes.
 Observers frequently pass from fiji. teen to eighteen hours in the restrict ed space of the balloon cars, commun- icating with the batteries by telephone, but even strong men are unable to pass more than three days at a time at this eXhausting occupation, constan- tly exposed to the enemy's fire

MAKES PAPER FROM
 SPINACH STEMS

A-French horticulturist, Monsieur de Mover, proposes the stems of spinach for making paper. These contain 46 per cent of cellulose against per cent in the stems of wheat straw
 M. de Noyer claims that in his eX. periments in making paper from spin ach stems he has followed the meth. ods of the Grenoble paper-makine school and has produced a product equal to the best Japanese in it's re- markable consistency.
 He intimates, in an article on paper making, that with the proper culture of spinach for this purpose remark able economies in the manufacture of paper may be achieved.

AUTO TIRES MADE
 OF RUBBER SPONGE


 It is proposed to manufacture pune ture proof automobile tires from rub Der sponge, and experiments with this end in view are being carried forward Rubber sponge has some remarkable properties which make it a promising material. It contains great quantities of air, but the air is in the form of very minute bubbles, each bubble inclosed in thin sac of rubber.
 Rubber sponge is made by the addi- tion of certain chemicals which give off large quantities of gas, which is imprisoned by the soft rubber turing the vulcanizing process.
 It distributes tho shocks of the road much as an air filled tire does by vir- tue of the imprisoned gas in it's struc. ture, and has the added virtue that 2 pucture will only affect the air saes actually ruptured.

ALUMINIUM SOLE FOR SHOE

In some parts of the country there has been received with favor a shoe partly made of aluminium.
 The use of leather is not dispensed with entirely, but the sole and counter the parts most subject to wear, are made of the metal. The hard usage of shoes comes on the heel and sole, and in the case of aluminium the wear CT walks on the heel and a rocker, ac. ross the sole of the shoe, which parts are renewable and may be readily re- placed without sending the shoes to a shoemaker.
 The new shoes are no heavier than those of leather, and are said to be much more economical on account of the increased service secured.
