WHY PEOPLE LOSE SENSE
OF DIRECTION WHEN LOST
Travelling by Landmark or by Compass
IL Only Sure Way. Snys
Writer,

The tendency OF tho person who
has entirely lost his sense of direc-
ton to circle. is we'll known and has
been repeatedly proved by expert
mcrt." says George Gladden.. in an
article. ON Being Lost" in the issue
Of Boys Life. The most plausible
reason for this circling is that it is
due 10 the unequal strength OF the
wv" sides of the body. That is. il the
right side be stronger than the left
which usually Is the case--longer
strikes will normally be taken with
the ri"h, leg than with the left. and
this VII cause circlinE to the right.
Tic circlinE seems always TO occur
when one becomes hopclcSsly lost and
is likely 10 continue until the victim
drops from sheer exhaustion. One in
stance on record is that Of n lost man
who. after walking steadily for six
days and nights. finally stumbled into
camp only about sin miles from his
starting point Five miles Of travel
in II straight line in any direction from
that point would have brought him
out of tho woods and incidentally
would have saved him from the loss
OF his feet. both of which were so
badly frozen that their amputaiion
was necessary.
''rravcling by landmark. or by conf
pass. are the only sure ways to avoid
circlinG. Landmarks should be OBJ
served carefully and frequently. for

New York.-The presence In Amer

monoplane will completely revolution
lie aircrafti design and construction,
according to statements made here by
leading airplahe manufacturers. -
The frail spruce and linen ship that
did Its bit in the war and that has
been used successfully, though pre-;
cariously, in commerce will soon be
displaced by the" sturdy all metal type
brought out after the war by the
Germans, almost every aeronautical

American manufacturing company has
already announced Its intention OF
disseminating operations. .a =-.

The wings Of the jig are SO rigid
that only a head on crash will inJure

and flown away after a new propeller
had been put on. Not even the fuse

attached was injured. Eighty-five
men have stood upon the forty-seven

effects.
The body of the plane contains

in the control compartment. The mo-
tive power is furnished by 100 horse

five gallops of gasoline to fly 100

require from ten to fifteen gallons for
that distance, The motor Is almost
silent, compared to the deafening roar
Of the Liberty. A conversation can be
carried on in the cabin with the motor

According to Mr.. Larsen, the JL-t
represents the greatest step forward
In flying In all time. He has pur

the iproblem was still more complex.
Several ,fawless ones were produced,

process. American ingenuity was
brought into play to devise means of
slowly cooling these immense plates
of glass, 90 that they might be free
from the strain so likely to destroy
them. Experiments by scientists OF
the geophysical laboratory showed ,ex-
actly how slowly their temperatures
must be lowered. and the cooling
schedule outlined was closely fol-
lowed. t. Owing. however, to- the ex.
IRENE cold weather of last March and
the shortage Of gas. this schedule could
not be followed. One splendid disk
strained and broke Just when nearly
ready to be taken from the oven.

that the last difficulty in the. way o

18-inch size for refracting telescopes
and a 36-inch disk for rejecting tel

40-fnch size. When that goal has bee
reached, the company will continu
the development, so that eventual
the largest and finest disks In tn
