poses will be capable Of carrying
$4,000 pounds of bombs, besides au-
tomato cannon and a large number
of machine guns.
They will be triplanes, constructed
Of metal, and will have a cruising
radius of little more than 1000
miles. Although announcement by
the Navy Department of it's plan to
fly across the Pacific Ocean with
these huge seaplanes is premature,
there is no question of it's intention
to do so as soon as possible after
they have been constructed.
In the lighter-than-air field the
most daring and revolutionary de-
sign yet brought forward is that of
M. Julliot, the French engineer, now
sixty-four years old. This is moth
ing less than the construction of a
semi-rigid dirigible 1920 feet long
with total capacity Of 6,357, 900
cubic feet of lifting gas, capable of
carrying 200 passengers.
M. Julliot insists that the rigid
dirigible contains far too much
weight, and that by the elimination
Of ribs their weight can be added to
the useful load carried by the dirigi-
lie. In the machine Of his design he
plans to- have a keel so built that it
will form the backbone Of the huge
gas bag, and beneath this keel will
be built the tremendous inclosed
room that will be divided into cabins
and saloons.
At 100 Miles an Hour
The huge airship will have a maxi
mum diameter of 1O2 feet. and it
will be Of special streamline shape
designed by Julliot. 1t will be driven
forward through the air at an esti-
mated speed of 100 nautical miles an
hour by fifteen Liberty engines az
gregating 5000 horsepower.
These engines will be arranged in
five engine nacelles hung parallel to
each other from the center of the
keel. Each nacelle will contain three
Liberty motors. and ready access to
each Of them will be afforded from
the keel.
The largest semi-rigid ever built
has q capacity Of only one million
cubic feet. This was built BY the
Italians, who have become preami-
nent In this field. From this IL win

GIANNI CAPRONI, >Ital-
~ IAN amvent0r nO2D IN this
country to educate us IN the
use of big machinery

Mercedes engines are arranged end
to end, in two separate nacelles, the
whole rigidly attached to the wing.
On the center of the upper side
f'the wing there is constructed the
fuselage body of the ordinary land
type airplane. This body carries
the tail Of the peculiar machine.
This big monoplane was designed
for purely military purposes, and
consequently it's characteristic fea-
lures have been subordinated entire
ly to military needs. The two pilots
are seated in the bow Of the boat,
which also accommodates machine
gunner. Another gunner's nest is
situated in the stern. Two engi-
neers have their stations between
these two positions.
In the fuselage above the wing
there is an inclosed cabin in which
is installed the wireless apparatus
Of the monoplane. Two more gun
nests are arranged in the fuselage.
The crew totals nine men, and they
have ready access in flight from the
boat to the fuselage by means of a
scaling ladder.
The four engines, totaling 1,O40
horsepower, drive the big mono
plane through the air at maxi
mum speed of 80 miles an hour,
and the fuel tanks carry sufficient
supply for ten hours continuous
fight.
France Has Big Machine
France has just produced an out
standing giant machine in the Bleri-
OF four-engined tractor biplane.
The novel feature in this machine is
the. fact that the four engines are
placed in separate nacelles built
into the wings, and each drives
tractor propelleg. This arrange
ment should give greater engine ef-
ficiency in flying, as compared with
the end to end method of using
engines.
This big airplane is Of the land
type, but it's fuselage is divided into
two decks. The, upper deck carries
seventeen first class passengers.
The pilots compartment, accommo-
dating two pilots and an engineer, is
also placed on this deck.
The lower deck contains a navi-
eating room and a wireless cabin.
The former contains all the navi-
eating instruments and has win
dow in the floor to permit unre-
stricted vision Of the ground below.
Behind this wireless cabin there is
small hold for baggage, and back
of that a compartment for four Sec
ond class passengers. It is the first
airplane designed for commercial
work to carry different classes Of
passengers.

Prompt action is necessary for con-
trolling cutworms after their presence
has become noticeable i'm the spring
When the corn or other cereal has be-
gun to sprout which is the time the
worms usually begin their depreda-
tions, delay in applying remedies may
prove disastrous TO the crop. 1t is
usually too late TO write to the depart
ment of agriculture for advice as 70
control mea.ures and await a reply.
The importance of recognizing these
insects and knowing how TO control
them is therefore evident.
CutworIn injury almost invariably
occurs i'm the spring, the plants usu-
ally being cut off at the surface or a
little below the surface of the ground
As stated. this injury begins as soon
as the first plants sprtut and continues
until late June or early July. when the
worms have become full grown. Feed
ing takes place at night. the worms
resting during the day beneath debris
or in the soil at depth of from one
half TO one inch below the surface,
and since they closely resemble the
color of the soil in most cases the
cause of the injury is often not ap-
parent. If the soil surroLndin; the
