Ernest Bosso, who several months

swimming in the Ohio River on Monday
with several Of his friends; He stianSa
thought that he landed there safely un-
I'll word was received Yesterday mo- morn,
ing from Yorkville to the effect that
body was found near that place, which
revealed the fact that Bosso had taken

The body was found by Charles Har-

the body on shore, summoned Under

his establishment where 1t was ldentl-

1t was learned late last evening that
Bosso had been employed as a miner
at the Windsor Coal mine at Beech Bot

IS years of age and is survived by ms

The rocket ascends to point Of rest:
the instant of time when Its limit Of
upward motion is reached. From this
point It descends. hence would have
nothing like the downward velocity
of meteor. Still the fall would be
sufficient to do damage, and to obviate
this Professor Goddard proposes par
achute which will decrease the veloc-
ity as denser air is reached.
If the parachute is so large that the
velocity will be decreased greatly
when the denser air is reached, the
descent will be SO slow that finding
OF the apparatus will not be so easy
as would be the case with more
rapid descent. For this reason part
of the parachute device must be lost
automatically when the apparatus has
fallen into air of certain density,
with additional parachute devices rem
dered operative as the rocket nears
the ground. Such devices have not
been fully worked out by Professor
Goddard, but he says they would be
of simple and light construction.
Professor Goddard's experiments
show that the time Of ascent of his
rocket would be remarkably short.
For example. height Of over 23O
miles is reached in less than six and
one-half minutes. The reason Is, OF
course, that this form of rocket pos.
sesses the advantage of the bullet in
attaining high velocity, with the
added advantage Of starting gradually
from rest. In fact the motion fulfliss
closely the ideal conditions for ex
tremely rapid transit-namely, start
ing from rest with the maximum accel
GRAFTON possible, and reversing thi!
acceleration in direction at the middle
of the journey.
The short time of ascent and descen
is, of course, highly advantageous a
regards following the apparatus dur
ing ascent and recovering 1t on land
ing. The path can be followed by da,
by the election Of smoke at intervals
and at night by flashes. Any distinc
tive feature, as, for example, long
black streamer, could assist in rer
dering the instruments visible on tn
return.
Not since the Germans sprung tn

the world had so spectacular a propt
sition in the field of explosives pr

iment. He proposes to aim at the dark
area of our satellite and in the nose
Of his rocket place large charge of
flash powder, which will be ignited by.
impact. The flare of this can be OBJ
served by powerful telescopes on the
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 1t 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 We're exploded on the
surface of the moon, distant 100000
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 strikingly Wis
IDLE. The quantity required could, of
course, be much reduced by the en-
ployment Of 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
dard has looked into the subject of me
teors and found that the probability
Of collision is negligible. Sir Isaa,
Newton estimates that the average dis
lance apart Of meteors Is $50 miles, 81
that with the vast areas of space 1t /.
fairly safe to conclude that a rookie
travelling 100000 miles is not likel,
to have IN unpleasant encounter en-
route.
The subject Of meteors suggests an
! other difficulty in connection with tn
rocket as a means Of observing tn
| upper strata Of the air. It is popu
! larly known that when meteors strik
: the earth they do so with such fore
, as to be imbedded often 18 to 20 fee
in the soil. Should they strike waite
!. or harder substance than soil, the
5 are virtually vaporized by the terribl
. impact. Now when the obseryatio
/ rocket comes down from its loft
flight. would 1t not be blasted an
3 broken, like visiting meteors?

! thought to this detail, so there nee
be no worry about the rocket and II
