1t costs money to build good
streets, we know. When Smy1na's
streets are done, our town will have
the reputation of having the best lot
of streets of any town on the penin-
sula. We hope Council will be able
to go on and complete all of Com
merce street. We hope Mt. Vernon
and South streets can be repaired and
made easier for traffic to move upon.
We hope Union street in time can be
regarded and stoned. There is moth
ing that helps to advertise a town
better than good streets. Smyrna
Town Council is making a record in
this respect and even if it does cost
a little more, the time to get streets
in shape is now while F. w. Lovett
the contractor, and his steam roller
equipment is here.

Protecting AlrpIane PropeIIers.

An aluminium plating for airplane
propellers has been devised for the
purpose of protecting the wood from
the influence of the weather, which
has been a serious problem heretofore.
The plating is thin leaf which is in
corpOrated in the finish of the propel-
lers, and the idea was developed by
the forest products laboratory at
Madison. Wis, and placed in produc-
ton by the war department. The
process is practically 100 per cent eff
fective in preventing absorption Of
water, particularly in the storage
stage. A French authority states that
so per cent Of the French propellers
produced are rejected by the pilots
mainly because they are out Of bal
ance. This difficulty is due largely to
unequal absorption or distribution of
moisture and can be greatly reduced
by an effective water-proofng coating.

The Board of Health recommends
that all surface closets be connected
with sewer. This is certainly in line
with good public health. Smyrna has
an excellent sewage system and there
is no reason why the surroundings of
any property should become nui-
sance. While it would be better for
hog pens to be banished from town
limits, we believe they should be reg
ulated so as to have them kept sys-
tematically clean. Residents should
not be annoyed with the smell of hog
pens while sitting on their front
porches, these summer evenings
Along with good streets and up-to-
date municipal improvements, let us
see that every safeguard be set fol
good public health.

Hot Blast Of Volcanoes.

Writing in the Monthly Weather
Review George N. Cole sets forth de-
tailed arguments to prove that the
hot blast which swept over the city
Of st. Pierre during the eruption Of
Mont Pelee, as well as similar blasts
in connection. with the eruption of
Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and
Herculaneum, the eruption Of Taal.
Sakurajima, ETC., derived its heat from
the sudden compression Of the air sur
rounding the volcano, and not from
conditions in the volcano itself. In
other words, it was not, according to
this hypothesis, an outpouring Of hot
crater gases that caused the destruc.
tion, but the dynamic heating Of the
air attending the propagation Of the
explosion wave.

prizes and honors for the first flight

Edgar Allan Poe of an imaginary
flight more than sixty years ago. Poe
was the first person to have any prac-

flight. He wrote the story because
he was in need of money and it was
printed in the New York Sun. April
%. 1874.
The Sun and some of its contem-
poraries at the time were engaged in
a campaign to secure news by quicker
methods. The Atlantic cable had not
yet been laid and ships were slow.

wrote a. wanderful story. with minute
details, describing the remarkable
flight of an airship from England to

machine made the journey in three
