Aeronautic authorities have been
busily engaged In formulating a fair
set of rules governing the coming
round-the-world flight. That avia-
tors will not be permitted to take adj
vantage of the rotundity of the earth
is indicated by the condition that they
must make their flights between the
fifteenth and sixtieth parallels of lati-
tude. and the prize will go to the flyer
who covers the longest distance. Avia-
tors will be allowed to start from any
point they choose, provided they re-
turn to the starting point. They will
have year I'm which to complete
their flight. Airplanes, dirigibles, and
free balloons are eligible for the race.

CURIOUS FREAK OF OPTICS
Remarkable Effects Possible With
Cardboard Spectacles That Are
Cut With Various Openings

Some very curious optical effects
can be obtained with cardboard spec
tacles cut with various openings,
writes s. Leonard Baron In the Scien-
tfic American.
The spectacles are easily made.
Disks Of cardboard are cut which
measure about two inches In diam
eter. From copper wire nose piece
is bent and each end twisted into hole
made at the side of each disk. In the
same way the bows for the ears are
formed out of wire. One end of each
Of these is attached to the outer edge
OF disk and the other end Is bent
round so that the curved part for go
ing over the ear is formed.
The disks of the spectacles are then
finished as follows: In one pair a
hole Is driven with a pin through the
center Of each disk. In another pair
horizontal Sits are cut almost from
one side to the other of the disks
These should be narrow and they may
be cut with a sharp chisel or penknife.
In the third pair the slit is the same
save that IL Is cut vertically.
BY looking through the different
openings some remarkable results are
obtained Thus the pair with the pin
holes restricts the field of vision, but
makes distant objects stand up with
great clearness. 1t Is possible to read
print at three or four times the nor
NAL distance with the greatest ease.
When wearing the spectacles with the
horizontal Sits it is only possible to
see more or less horizontal lines In
houses, fences, trees. etc. really
plainly Thus, while the trunk of a
tree is difficult to detect, the horizon
tai branches are much sharper than is
normally the case. Exactly the Op-
poslte is the case with the spectacles
having the vertical openings. Here 1t
is only the more or less upright lines
that are really plain. The horizontal
lines are very indistinct and # fine
disappear altogether Thus while one
can observe the posts supporting the
clothes line 1t Is not possible to see
the line itself when wearing the spec
tacles with vertical Sits,

Of good roads, there would be opened
