cut up by deep canons or where noun
tain ridges obstruct the view, or in q
flat country that affords no GOOD
points of vantage, are often unable tC
pick up fires quickly by the rising
smoke, or to locate them accurately
For precise location the system in use
depends on triangulation through re-
ports telephoned from separate obser.
walton points. Airplanes, however, can
use wireless, or even the new wireless
telephone, and they can locate fires by
coordinates in the same way that gun
fire in war is directed to a particular
spot.
Experiments made In bombing fires
to put them out show the possibilities
In this direction. Bombs charged with
suitable chemicals for extlngiushing
fires have been used with good results.
At present the only observation bal
loon used in connection with forest
fire patrolllng is the one maintained at
the Arcadia field, near Los Angeles.
This balloon is sent aloft to a height
of about 5000 feet and remains there
frohl 7 a. m. until 6 p. m. In case of fire
a report from the balloon observer Is
telephoned to the army balloon school
and transmitted to the forest service
at Los Angeles. Another plan to be
tested later in the summer is trans
porting fire fighters by dirigibles from
which ladders can be lowered to the
ground.
Outlaw Cotton Fields.
The airplane to spy out hidden cot
ton fields has proved successful. II is I
the result of an experiment carried out
by the federal horticultural board Of
the department Of agriculture. In
southern Texas. where tile devastas-
Ing pink bollworm of cotton has been
trying to invade the United States
from Mexico, there are cotton-free
zones, declared by law as barriers
against the progress Of the worm. But
few misguided farmers feel that !
their rights have been infringed and
have developed a tendency to become
outlaw cotton planters. Much Of the |
country is heavily timbered, roads are
neither plentiful nor good in many pla-
ces, and II has been possible for an
outlaw planter to. tuck away a few
acres Of cotton In some nook OF the
woods beyond probability OF discovery
by ordinary means. though the depart
ment Of agriculture has been making
diligent efforts to spot every stalk of
cotton In the Guaranteed areas.
Last year when workers of the fed.
eral horticultural board were on the
ground, they tried out the airplane for
scouting work. In this way Inspector
Hensley Of the board discovered sew
en- outlaw cotton fields in the heavily
wooded country along the Trinity riv-
r and around Galveston bay which
had escaped discovery.

,ating cotton fields in the observation ,

these fires is that the ma.
tional forests and national parks must
be patrolled by airplanes and protect
ed by wireless telephone
Time is vital factor in fighting
forest fires. They must be detected
instantly and combated promptly.
Once a forest fire gains sufficient
Roadway the flames convert each live
pine into gas retort and the flaming
gas, carried by the wind, jumps far
ahead of the fire line, to start new
fires. Also a forest fire will run up
a mountain slope with tremendous
speed creating Its own draft as it
goes.
Airplane service would instantly de-
tect forest free 1t would reach the
spot promptly, with smothering gas,
firefghters, tools, provisions and ma
terials. If the national forests and
national parks are worth creating and
administering, they are worth presery-
ing. The ordinary forest fire is a ca
lamity. The big one is catastrophe.
In a twinkling the growth of gen.
eratlons Is gone. Where a forest stood
there is desolation which win last for
many year. The losses in money
this season, saying nothing of the
menace to human life, would pay for
an extensive air service equipment.
That there is distinct and impor-
tant place for aircraft in fire protec-
ton Of timberlands has been regard
ed by the forestry officials for some
time as beyond doubt. It was with this
idea in mind that arrangements were
made to have army airplanes and cap
tive balloons cover portions Of the ma.
t;onal forests of California, Arizona.
New Mexico and other states this sum-
mer, The patrolllng was started early |
In June and has so quickly proved its |
worth. that 1t was proposed to extend /
the service to other points In the East,
including one near the White noun
teins In. New Hampshire.
No difficulty Is experienced BY the
airmen in detecting fires In heavy tim
Der from elevations Of 1000 to 10000
feet.
At present the forest service relies
for the detection Of fires partly on pa
troll, usually by men on horses, motor
cycles. or railroad speeders. and partly
on watchers stationed on lookout
points Aircraft have many points OF
obvious superiority over this method.

EASTER ISLAND.

EASTER Island
EASTER island is one Of the worlds
Il unsoIved mysteries. This patch Of
land far out in southern Pacific
waters contains monuments more un-
explainable than the Sphynx and, in
all probability, of equal antiquity
Easter island is a museum Of
strange statuary placed there by
ancient people who at some unknown
time occupied the land. They are
weird figures, these old idols. carved
in an angular style that rivals the
Egyptian for quaintnass. They are
less expertly designed than the old
Egyptian figures, but thu wonder is
that they are there at all. for SINE of
the statues weigh several tons, and
carved, as each one is, from me huge
block Of stone, II seems incredible
that they could have been transported
from the distant island Quarries
Even If this engineering feat were
possible. the mystery is not explained,
for the quarries contain no such gil
gantic boulders as those Of which
these heroic figures are made.
The story Of the figures and Of the
race which chiseled them is carved
everywhere in the stones, but. as the
picture writing is so unlike any
known hieroglyphies. and as no key
has yet been found, they only add to
the difficulty Of the puzzle.
Easter island has its natives today,
but they are not the original jewellers
in the land, and do not even claim to
know anything Of previous inhabit-
ants.
What the statue builders Of this
southern isle called their home is, Of
course. unknown A Dutch explorer
opened the modern era of the islands
history, when, on Easter Sunday. 1872,
he landed on its shores and, IN honor
OF the day, called it Easter island
