Twenty-threc persons voted Tor this

Kelly delivered him the automobile, but
later returned and took il while Tussy
WAS not present. claiming that the
repairs had not been completed. After
finishing the repairs on the machine, it
was alleged Kelly refused TO return it

The rocket ascends to point Of rests
the instant of time when its limit OK
upward motion Is reached. From this
point It descends, hence would have
nothing like the downward veiocitN

sufficient to do damage, and to Obviat6
this Professor Goddard proposes psrL
achute which will decrease the veioc+
ity as densef air is reached.
If the parachute is so large that the
velocity will be decreased greatig
when the derser air is reached, thS
descent will lie SO slow that finding
OF the apparatus will not be so easy
as would be the case with a more
rapid descent. For this reason part
of the parachute device must be Iosf
automatically when the apparatus has
fallen into air of a certain density,
with additional parachute devices rem
dered operative as the rocket nears
the ground. Such devices have mot
been fully worked out by Professor
Goddard, but he says they would bs
of simple and light construction.
Professor Goddard's experiments
show that the tine of ascent Of his
rocket would be remarkably short
For example, a height Of over I'D
miles is reached In less than six ana
one-half minutes. The reason is. OF
course, that this form Of rocket pos
sesses the advantage of the bullet i'm
attaining high velocity, with the
added advantage Of starting gradually
from rest. In fact the motion fulfiiis
closely the ideal conditions for ex-
tremely rapid transit namely, start
ing from rest with the maximum accef-

acceleration in direction mt the middle

earth.
But, remark the skeptical, how does
he know at what distance flashes of
magnesium powder can be seen? He
knows, as he knows other details, by
exact experiments and mathematical
calculations based on them. Briefly,
his experiment consisted Of exploding
given quantity of flash powder In a
glass tube, from which the air had
been drawn. The exact quantity was
weighed and measured, and the result
ant flash was observable at say, two
miles. From this he could figure Just
how much would be required to make
light enough on the dark side of the
moon so that It could be noted on the
earth with the proper kind OF tele-
scope.
Professor Goddard's experiments
with flash powder demonstrated that
If the powder were exploded on the
surface of the moon, distant 10000
miles, and telescope of one foot aper-
ture. were used-the exit pupil being
not greater than the pupil of the eye
we should need mass flash Of 2.67
pounds to be just visible, and 1882
pounds or less to be strlkingly Wis
ible. The quantity required could, of
course, be much reduced by the en-
ployment of a larger telescope. For
example, with an aperture of two feet,
the masses would be reduced to one
fourth of those just given. The use
of such large telescope would, how
ever, limit considerably the possible
number Of observers. In all cases,
says Professor Goddard, the magnifi-
cation should be so low that the entire
lunar disk is In the field of the tele-
scope.
Another factor is presented in the
form of itinerant meteors. One of
these might come In contact with the
rocket and an expensive experiment
would be shattered. Professor God.
lard has looked into the subject Of me-
teors and found that the probability
of collision Is negligible. Sir Isaac
Newton estimates that the average dis
lance apart of meteors is $50 miles, so
that with the vast areas OF space II is
fairly safe to conclude that rocket
travelling 10000 miles is not likely
to have IN unpleasant encounter en-.
route.
The subject of meteors suggests an
other difficulty In connection with the
rocket as a means Of observing the
upper strata Of the air. II is popu.
larry known that when meteors strike
the earth they do so with such force
as to be imbedded often 16 to 20 feet
in the soil. Should they strike water
or a harder substance than soil, they
are virtually vaporized by the terrible
impact. Now when the observation
rocket comes down from its LOFTY
fight, would II not be blasted and
broken. like visiting meteors7
Professor Goddard has devoted
thought to this detail. so there need
be no worry about the rocket and its
freight of scientific instruments. Ne

DON'TS FOR BREAKFAST.

IL you are going To eat things that are
difficult TO digest. il is far better TO eat
them Tor your evening meal than fol
breakfast. After dinner or supper you have
leisure and whole nights sleep in your
favor, but if you begin the day with dish
that taxes your digestion your whole
days work will suffer in consequence.
Besides the first meal of tho day is very
important one. Your system is ready for
food. You know yourself that you do
not feel the effects of going without lunch
con or dinner as sorely as those of going
without breakfast. With many house
wives breakfast receives the least thought
of any meal In reality it should receive
most. This does not mean that you want
much variety but you should see TO it
that what you have is cooked as well ns
possible cereal should be free from
humps, piping hot and of the consistency
liked by the members of your family,
coffee should be clear, aromatic freshly
made and piping hot toast should be
well made as you are capable of making
1t, served hot and freshly buttered rolls
should he warmed Just enough, and piping
hot when served Care should be exerted
IN preparing any egg dish. It is not the
easiest thing always To serve soft boiled
egg cooked Just TO the right consistency.
Now since we should be more careful
of what we eat in the morning than Of
dinner diet it really seems remarkable that
so many people select the most indigcst-
able dishes for breakfast Pancakes might
be all very well eaten in moderation for
dessert at night but as dish to start the
day one cannot but question the widsom
Of serving them Wa1iea and toasted Eng

pie seem 10 crave for breakfast, but they
