the cooperation and worked by the au-
thority of the war department and the
Smithsonian institution in Washington,
and Clark university and the Worces-
ter Polytechnic institute. Compared
with it, the most powerful implements
OF modern warfare are rendered inef-
fective, scientists familiar with the in
vention assert.
Under the system Of propulsion
worked out by Doctor Goddard the
rocket could rise to height above the
earth's atmosphere, where its range
would be increased greatly.
Its propulsiye power-which mill
tary men say is new contribution to
the science of ballistics-lies in an in
ternal combustion engine Of high DOW
er, fed either by finely pulverized
smokeless powder or charges Of liquid
explosive at regular intervals regulated
by clockwork. Experiments with min
iature models conducted here have
fully demonstrated it's success against
an enemy.
Instead of requiring a cannon or
mortar to start 1t, one man from any
spot can launch 1t without apparatus.
The destructive agency is in the head
Of the -Ccket, though it can be adapted
for Photographic work as well, the ap-
paratus being automatically released
from the rocket proper and descending
with parachute.
In the rockets simplest form, manu-.
featured at small cost, foot soldier
would become the equivalent of q
field cannon for single shot, for he
would carry on his shoulder an instru
ment of destruction, with its head Of
gas or high explosive, and fire it from
any point where his legs would TAX,

cannon could not be moved.

Development of a 300-acre cram

midwest and one of the largest in
the country, is proposed by Cart. Guy
Nash, A. Searls and F. j. Woo1, all of
Grand Rapids, who have acquired a
large tract of swamp land north of
Biron for the purpose.
The tract lies along the banks of
the Wisconsin river and is SO situated
that it may be flooded in the fall
when there is danger of frost injur-
ing the berries. About half the marsh
will be placed under cultivation with
in the next three years, and the re-
ma;sder later. Five years will elapse
before the vines come into full bear
ing. ~
Hitherto western marshes have re-
ceived little care, but it is planned to
use the most intensive methods on
this tract. The promoters estimate
that the land will produce from $4,000
barrels in an OFF season to double
that figure in normal years.-Stevsns

able to carry on his business and
other affairs. Two weeks previous to
his death he was taken critically i'll

ChaS. Turner had resided in Wau-

true example of self-made man. He
found rugged path of hard endeavor
before him when he started out to
battle for himself The ascent was
q difficult one at first but he was
young, energetic, full of health and
resources. AS he climbed higher and
higher the road became smoother and
the journey lightened by competence
which brought to him comforts and
leisure. He was a man fitted by ma
ture to fill almost any station In life;
profound in thought and blessed with
remarkable memory. which he stored
by careful, general and uneeasing
reading.
