friesland demonstrated the hard, cold
fact that the battleship can be quickly
sunk with heavy bombs dropped from

be disposed of by dropping bombs into
the water, without even hitting the
ship.
The airplane carrier, a gigantic
naval vessel, larger and speedier than
any warship afloat, fast as the de-
stroyer, and carrying cargo of many
planes-pursuit, reconnaissance, and
bombing-is regarded as the best way
to meet this new aircraft bombing
menace TO the battlesEip.
Those in charge of naval aviation
plans think the navy should be pro-
vided with eight hirplane carriers,
each to carry so planes ready for in
slant action, and 80 in knockdown con
dition, ready to be assembled at once.
Each carrier would cost $2S,60)000.

necessary to carry through all the de-
tailed work. Also, that when the ore
is taken up by the Colorado mill,
there is only 1 part radium for every
40O000,000 parts of the ore; but when
the ore reaches the mill at CanOns-
burg the proportion is l part of radi-
UNI to 100,O00,0O0 parts of the ore.

is to reduce this mass of ore to less

regularity and precision, notwithstand-

The comet will approach nearest to

from the sun will be nearly the same
as that of the earth According to

The computations received here did
not show how near the comet would
