Got the Wrong Leo.

This little story without claimant

An elderly Hoosler who has been
spending some time in Florida has
been giving his leisure to fishing. There
is fine lake near where he has been
sojourning, and every day he was seen
in silent meditation, for he is think

Hoosier is known for his kindness
and consideration Of the feelings OF

One day while absorbed in his fish

snapped off one of his legs, and was
making of with it. "Here!9 cried the
fisherman, ''come back You've made
a mistake. You've taken the wrong

And so he had. The fisherman wore
an artificial leg, and this it was thai

er to Metz, however, and Treves be-
came the seat Of a powerful religious
empire.
Treves had bishop at a very early
date. Four great saints of the fourth
century are connected with the city.
1t was the scene of the first Danish
ment of st. Athanasius; st. Ambrose
was born there; st. Jerome first be-
came seriously interested in religion
while studying there, and st. Martin of
Tours went there In 1856 to plead with
the tyrant Maximus for the lives of the
hereto Priscillian and his followers.
The great bishop, ST. Nicetius, built
splendid castle for himself at Treves
in the sixth century. The see became
an archbishopric soon after the begin
ming of the ninth century and its tenn
poral power was founded in sos. when
Radbod acquired the rights of the
counts of Treves. Throughout the
middle ages the city abounded in re-
hgious foundations and was great
seat Of monastic learning.
Changed Hands Many Times.
With the transfer Of the Frankish
capital to Metz began a long era OF
changes for Treves. The city passed
to Lorraine in S43 and to the east
Frankish kingdom in $40. 1t was sack
ed by the Mortimer in SS1 after it had
become a permanent part of what is
now Prussia. 1t became free city

tury The French held it briefly three
times in the seventeenth century and

and Gutenberg Bible of 1850.
The manufacturing interests of the
city include tanneries, iron foundries,
dye works, furniture and piano fac
tories and glass painting works. An
extensive trade in wine, fruit and wood
was carried on before the war. There
are many lead, copper and tin mines in
the vicinity. 1'he population before
1914 was about $4,000.

VT is an odd coincidence that the
most modern occurrence in Prus-
sia-its occupation by American
troops-should begin with its old
est city, observes writer in the Kan
sas City Times. Treves, or Trier, as
the Germans call it, into which the
Yanks, marched recently, is older than
history. which begins for 1t half a CEN
fury before the birth of Christ. Then,
as the capital of the Celtic Treviri,
one of the most powerful Belgian
tribes, it was captured by the Romans
under Julius Caesar. 1t was made a
Roman colony under the name of Au-
gusta TrevirOrum and was strongly
fortified. BY IA B. G. it had become
the MOST important northern outpost
of the Roman empire. 1t was an inn
perial residence early in the Christian
era and the administrative center from
which Gaul, Britain and Spain were
ruled. The poet Ausonius described 1t
as Rome beyond the Alps" Constan-
tine the Great lived there about TWEEN
ty-five years. He and his successors
beautified it with public works and
magnificent private villas dotted the
hillside all around. Some of the finest
Roman relics north of the Alps re-
main to this day in Treves.
From the earliest times Treves, be-
cause of its strategic position and the
rich country surrounding it, was an
object of warfare The Franks par
ticularly desired it and they made
many expeditions against it, They
continued their attacks after the Ro-
man occupation. Three times they
sacked it and held it for short periods.
About the middle of the fifth century
they gained permanent possession and
made it their capital. The Frankish
kings gradually transferred their pow

in 1874 captured it again and abolished
the archbishOpric. The congress Of
Vienna in 1S14-1S15 gave 1t back to
Prussia. 1t figured several times in
the war just closed, being bombarded
by allied aerial forces.
The modern city of Treves occupies
almost the exact site Of the ancient

brings wolframite into the list Of air
plane essentials. Just iron might do,
but when the tungsten, which comes
from wolframite, is combined with it
it gives the magnet the remarkable re-
tentivity that keeps the compass needle
correct.
The tungsten must be lured from the
wolframite by other and very power
full magnets, which are used during the
smelling process. The bit of this metal
which goes into the steel to give the
compass magnet it's retentivity is lit
tie like the ore which was originally
mined in either Of the widely sepa-
rated states of Connecticut, North Car
olina or Nevada, the three from which
our principal supplies of wolframite
come
Tungsten is not required in the mag
nets used in engine magnetos, for in
their case the electric current is be-
ing made and broken continually with
a speed that bewilders the eye. The
current must be broken in the mag
neto for every explosion in the CYL
inder. An explosion takes place in
each cylinder once in every two revo-
lutions of the propeller, which means
that the current is broken and spark

Since then the vital parts of Amer
lean planes have been armored. The
care that must be taken to have the
steel of which the armor is made such
that 1t will not defec. the compass
needle brings in another element.
Tungsten will not make a steel hard
enough, and there must be a mixture
Of manganese. The process by which
manganese steel is made Is long and
expensive, but has to be gone through
with.
Less weight always has been the cry
of the aeronautical engineer, since the
speed of the airplane depends so large
ly on the load which the engine must
carry. The motor must lift itself as
we'll as the rest of the load, and SO
every effort is made to lessen it's ton
mage by minimizing the weight of all
the metal parts.
This brings US to aluminium. the re-
fined product of bauxite ore, which is
the lightest metal hard enough to be
adapted to general use. The trimmings
of the plane, as they are called,
though really essential parts of it, are
aluminium, and in every place where it
may be substituted for a heavier metal
this is used. The Instruments which
appear on the pilots dashboard are, as
far as possible, manufactured from
this metal. 1t is for this necessity Of
lessening' the dead weight of the

Years of
Air Drying

In order to get the greatest strength
from the spruce it should go through
years of air drying, but the demand
quickly ate up the supply of air-dried
wood and soon it was necessary to use
kiln dried spruce This forced the
improvement of the kiln process and
the struts which appear in to-day's
planes are the result of no little
mental effort and experimental ton by
leading lumber authorities.
While King Spruce is securely on
his throne, as far as airplanes are
concerned, recently steel has come to
dispute with wood its supremacy as
material for the framework of wings
and tails. The adherents of steel as
sert that the metal is considerably
stronger than wood, with only a slight
increase in weight, and experiments
at the government airplane expert
mental stations would seem to bear
out this claim in their results.
The long ribs of wood, which an
uncovered airplane tail reveals, are not

they must be able to bear a twisting.

Even the
Gentle Cow

Even the gentle cow has her place
IN the makeup of the heavier -than-air
machine. Casein, a milk product, is
essential in the manufacture of the
glue which is used wherever two pieces
OF wood join. Scientific methods have
SO perfected this glue, which has for
Its foundation bones and hides that
make glue factory so Objectionable
as nelghbor, IS to make it possible to
spread the tenacious composition so
thinly that it hardly is visible.
Rubber, produced in the tropics but
made suitable to mans uses in Amer
lea, is used in one important way in
the shock absorbers, which are the
springs of the plane. Even a slight
bounce when landing may be disas
trous to the plane.
Mention castor oil and the hearer
doesn't think of airplanes-unless he
happens to know that Texas has be-
come the greatest producing centre of
the castor bean in the world, because
OF the suddenly increased demand for
castor oil which followed the perfec-
ton of the Liberty motor. When the
necessity for this oil was carried to
the Texas farmers, they responded so
generously that often huge farms are
devoted exclusively to raising the
bean.
The smooth, heavy castor oil is
much better adapted to the Liberty
motor and similar types than is min
eral oil, which has been almost dis
carded for this purpose. Yet every
spot where friction develops must, of
course, be fabricated and those which
are not connected with the intricate
oiling system must be oiled by hand
before the ship leaves the ground.
This is where Americas oil wells play
their part in the airplane, for mineral
oil is best suited to this purpose, and
the same petroleum which yields the
gasolene to drive the powerful motor
is distilled and refined to give lubri-
cation when that is done by hand.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11

plane, when every drop of gasolene
counts, and only this-not for the
beauty which results-that the shining
bits of aluminium are placed in differ
ent parts Of the machine.
Pure aluminium is too soft for the
strenuous life which airplane engines
lead, and for their parts it must be
blended with stronger metal. The case
which surrounds the engine, gathering
in the oil which is spilled from various
bearings, is made from alloyed aluml-
mum, for there is not enough strain
here to require tougher metal
Then we come to copper, mined in
Wisconsin, Montana or Arizona and
milled in Connecticut for the most
part. Like the irrigation bitches in
Western states which render worthless
land valuable, little copper tubes carry
cooling oil to every place Of friction
and possible bearing heating. SINH
lar tubes carry gasolene from the tanks
of many gallons to the carburetor.
More or less copper appears in the cleo
trical apparatus as we'll.

This piece of wood is about seven
inches long. 1t is in a wonderful
state of preservation.
The Nail of the Passion was car
ried in procession by other bearers.
Religious souls who have joined in
prayers in Paris churches thousands
of miles away thought of the Pas
sion Of Our Lord in a different way
when they beheld these awful in
struments OF torture. The nail, six
inches long, capped with heavy iron
and shaped from a thickness of half
an inch to sharp, ugly point, was
given by Charlemagne and pre-
served until 1890 in the Cathedral
of st. Denis.
The silent, impressive group
escorting the relics passed down the
centre aisle, encircled the church
and returned to the main altar. Men
bowed or knelt. All felt they were
in the real presence on that day
of sacrifice when human souls were
redeemed.
Following benediction, the privi-
lege of kissing the sacred relics was
granted the American soldier guests.
Over five thousand men awaited
their turn to kneel at the altar and
press their lips against the crystal
easements containing the nail, the
crown and the wood, as they were
passed by the priest of Notre Dame.
After the veneration the treas
ury of Notre Dame was opened and
thousands of soldiers were permitted
to view the wonderful collection of
historic jewels, vestments and an
tiques presented by kings, popes

serves to draw the fabric to a drum
head tightness and gives it resistance
by removing all possibility of the ter
rife air pressure getting between the
threads.
Friction with the air is also largely
eliminated as well, for this dope gives
wing surface CLASSY gloss when the
varnish, which is the last coating of the
finish, has been spread over it.
In the earlier days of planes their
manufacturers looked to Ireland for
old linen as q satisfactory fabric for
the wings of the great birds, but the
supply there did not equal the de-
mand even before the war. When Mars
increased that demand thousandfold
there was CONSERVATION over the fabric
situation, but ere long American cot
ton manufacturers in Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Eastern Massachu-
setts solved all their difficulties of
manufacture and at the same time
those of the aircraft makers in the
production of a cotton fabric for plane
wings which is, if anything, better
than the linen at first in use.
The first requirement of this cloth
is strength-to resist the tremendous
force of air in rapid motion; but it
must be light, almost to the vanishing
point, in order that the constant fight
against overweight disclose no odds
against the plane maker Many thou
sands of yards of this cotton cloth
came from New England looms during
the war, and they are still busy on it
in many places, for the airplane of
commerce is just around the corner.
Great armies of men were sent into
the Pacific Northwest to get the spruce
which is so we'll known as the basis of
the airplane, but glance at the COM
pleted plane gives no real disclosure
of the painstaking care with which
alrplane spruce is chosen. The struts
may look like just wood, but this wood
is the choicest pieces of huge trees
which have been growing in Oregon
and Washington for many generations,
carefully cured and seasoned and in
/ spected minutely for the least flaw in
the grain. Only per cent of the lum-
Der cut from the big trees could be
used, and this had to be treated with
the utmost care, lest in the process of
curing the wood become warped.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11

not adapted, and ash is the wood usu-
ally used. These ribs, called lon
gerons in aircraft terms, are the
centre Of the plane and carry the
heavy engine, pilot and passengers, and
all other load and stand the strain
of the wings. The same care as with
spruce is taken in the selection,
milling and drying of ash.
The fuselage is built about these
ribs and the length of the spars makes
reinforcement necessary, so that there
are numerous crosspieces running
through the skeleton.
The propeller requires the hardest
wood which goes into the completed
plane. 1t must cut the air at speed
fairly beyond human comprehension
and the air would mar or scratch
soft wood, which would throw the en-
CINE out of balance and destroy its
efficiency. Walnut or mahogany is
used for this purpose
The propeller is not solid piece,
but laminated composition of scores
of strips, each milled and prepared
with utmost care. It's blades must be
balanced to a nicely. else the engine
would be shaken by their uneven spin
ming and the pilot put to trouble to
fly the plane in a straight line. When
flying too near the ground pilots have
cut and scratched their propellers on
the tops of trees and have driven home
rather than alight, but never without
appreciable injury to the engine be
cause of the uneven resistance offered
in the spinning motion.
