in the minimum Of time There are also
the routes that cacry one far out into the
country away from the noise hustle and
heat of the town. These are all very
well organized, but many of the cars run
through narrow winding streets Of the
old town, leaving no room for other trait
ttc to pass, running in some cases a. less
than two feet from the footpath, d1sh-
ing around corners IN unexpected fash
ion and, in the larger places, coming a.
one from all dire ctIons at the same time.
There is on street in particular along
which | have occasion to walk every
morning in which all the cars and bar
rows being loaded with goods from the
main station have to be moved to the
opposite side of the road to allow each
street car to pass on It's way to the
cathedral. If two cars are approaching
each other one OF them has to wait
while the cars and barrows are moved
over on to its track to allow the other
to pass, and it can proceed only when
the said carts and barrows have moved
back again to where they were.
Added to this the average German
seems not to have in the slightest degree
the sense of traffic possessed by every
citizen of New York He meanders about
the street, not paying attention to where
he is going, wandering in front of trans
fic and then hesite ting in front of an
approaching car, apparently asking to be
manned or killed by every kind of We
hicle that infests the streets, Strange TO
say, one sees very few street accidents,
when is probably due to the skill of the
drivers of the various Vehicles.
There is apparently no kind of traffic
control such as we are used to seeing.

Ocean Sounded by Echoes

BY sounding with sound waves in
stead OF. a steel cable a Frenchman has
been able to determine the depth of the
ocean in few seconds where the or
binary process requires minutes or
hours, according to Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In contrast to the usual
equipment of cable, reels and donkey
engine. he equips himself simply with
a~quantity of high explosive, a micro
phone. and a chronometer Decorating
a charge of explosive in the wake of
his moving vessel, he hears in his mi
crophone both the noise of defamation
and the echo produced by reflection
from the bottom. Reading the time in
terval from the chronometer and know
ing the speed of sound in water. he is
able to calculate the oceans depth at
that point. Tests have shown that the
method yields sufficiently accurate re-
suits Tor practical purposes

the right-of-way, and all lesser vehlcles
must defer to them. Next the autos rule
the roost, by virtue of their speed ana
power.
1t seems a remarkable fact that the
efficient and super organized German
nation should be so lacking in this
matter of road traffic control when
one considers that most other nations.
with probably the French as the only
exception, have brought it to fine
art. and that the police of other coun-
tries can control large numbers OF
fast-moving cars with absolute ease.
The>Ssight OF one policeman holding
up a streetfm of traffic is one That
has moved countless visitors to New
York and London so much that they
have gazed at it for hours On some
of the more dangerous corners outside
Cologne the English military author
tiles have found it necessary to post
traffic control posts. which are
source of amazement to the natives,
who cannot understand why ore
should take all this trouble.
This lack of organization in traffic
contro! (and here | am not referring
to the higher control, which was as
efficient as most German organiza-
lions. but to the purely local road con-
troD had considerable amount to do
with the failure of the German army
to take full advantage of the retreat
of the allied forces in 1914 and helped
turn the German retreat in 1913 into
disorderly rout. The German Is eX-
ceptionally we'll able to organize on
large scale, but he is SO over dis
ciplined that. when it comes to local
initiative, he is powerless unless he
receives explicit instructions from
man higher up. Hence the failure of
the local traffic organizations when
unforeseen and overwhelmingly emer-
gercies occurred. Unused to coping
with these cases, not having received
explicit instructions. they became
hopelesslv disorganized on both these
occasions. This was accumulated, in
the German retreat in 1918. by the
bombing and machine-g gun fire of our
aeroplanes. which rendered absolutely
abortive any attempt of enemy officers
not endowed with more initiative than
the average to control the flow of the
retire ating armies and their vast para
phernalia.
The German is quick to learn from
other countries, so probably the les
sons he is receiving from the allied
armies regarding traffic control will
cause him to think. We may yet see
the police of Germany fall into line
with the police of other countries and
learn to direct road traffic. If they
do, it will certainly be a boon to pc
destrians in the streets of Germany.

New HelicOpter

Before a well known aeronautical So
ciety was recently demonstrated the
model of new helicopter, or vertical
rising airplane, embodying, according to
the Popular Mechanics Magazine, where
it is described and illustrated, several
noteworthy departures in design Speak
ing broadly, the machine is built on the
lines of conventional airplane From
the extremites of both wings, however,
rise vertical shafts on which revolve the
fanlike lifting surfaces. or air screws.
A horizontal beam is fixed to the base
of each of the two shafts Attached to
each extremity of these two beams is
motor which drives a traction wheel
around circular track. Each air screw
revolves as the motors urge the wheels
in whirling flight around the track. Thus
the lifting screws are revolved with
power that could never be developed were
they mounted directly on the engine
crankshafts. In addition to turning the
two major lifting surfaces the whirling
power plants transmit their power
through belts and pulleys to a stabilizing
air screw in the tail. and to a tractor
propeller on the fuselage for forward
motion.
