Telescope and Spirit Level
Part of Air Raiders Outfit

If bomb be dropped from an air
plane 10000 feet up, and travelling at
speed of 100 miles an hour. it
reaches the ground p considerable dis
lance ahead Of the point at which it
was released and the difficulty of
judging how to hit particular build
ing is enormous.
A machine invented to assist the
raiders has been found on captured
Gotha. The main feature, says the
London Tit-Bits, is telescope hung
on gimbals and pointing through the
floor of the bomber's compartment. In
connection with this is form of spir-
it level which brings bubble into the
center of glass disk when the tele-
scope is vertical, so that the bomber
knows when it is in the. position that
can be trusted. Below the telescope
is a prism, so that the image seen is
not an object directly underneath. but
at any desired distance ahead, accord
ing to the angle at which it is set.
For instance. if the airplane is 10000
feet up, and the speed is such that the
bomb must be released half a mile
from the object, the prism has to be
set at an angle of Is degrees. Even
then the calculation is liable to error,
because the density of different layers
of air may vary.

Great Cereal Country.
The famous black soil Of Ukraine
covers three-quarters of the country.
To the north as we'll as in the Carpa-
THAN mountains are some 1lO,OOO
square kilOmeters of forest. The agri-
cultural soil covers So per cent of the
aggregate territory of Ukraine and 81
per cent, if we take in the whole OF
European Russia, which is, however,
six times greater than Ukraine itself.
The annual production Of cereals in
Ukraine is two-thirds of the whole pro-
duction in the recent Russian empire.
1t is greater than that of Germany or
France. The expectation of grains
from Ukraine amounts to q per cent
of the production, and of all the wheat
exported from Russia nine-tenths
comes from Ukrainian lands. AS a
matter of fact, the trade of Ukraine is
more developed than that Of any part
of all Russia.
Ukraine ranks highest among all the
countries that COMPOSE the vast Rus
| sian empire as to the annual agricul-
tural production. Wheat, barley and
