Height Effects Il AlrplaInino.

Some effects Of airplanc flights at
very high attitudes are described In d,
recent English report. ..ITeight eff
fects" begin to be felt at 10000 feet
and become marked In most cases from
17,000 feet up. The principal difficult
ties are cold and lack Of oxygen.
Strange to say, no alrplane has yet
been devised on d plan which delib-
erately utilixes the heat Of the engine
to keep the passengers warm, although
any tractor model has this effect to
some extent. The matter OF oxygen
