The mother gave her 100000 crowns.

outfit.
The elder sister only needed her
outfit, for which she got 10000 crowns,
while the rest of her dowry-S0,000
crowns-was left with the mother, as
was also the whole portion of the son,
who had settled In Switzerland.
Recently. says the New York World,
the mother, widow, wished to pay in
full the portion Of the two children to
whom she still owed money. She sent
100000 crowns to the son In Switzer-
land, who received 800 francs from the
postOAice for the total amount. His
sister got 646 francs for the $4,000
crowns due her. The younger girls
100000 crowns would have been worth
100000 francs in 1912.

NOW THE HDIRIaIBLE' BOMB
otssrsd by Wireless, lie Possibilities
for Deadly Work Are Almost
Beyond Calculation.

A "dirigible bomb" that can be
.steered toward the target by wireless
after being let fall from an airplane,
is the novel invention Of Elmer A.
Sperry Of Brooklyn.
Ordinarily, when bombs are dropped
from aircraft, the chances of a miss
are great. The speed and altitude OF
the plane, or balloon, have to be taken
into account. and the wind, also. Ob-
viously II would be Of utmost advan-
tage II the path of descent OF the
gravity projectile could be changed at
lin while IL was falling.
rne Sperry dirlgibIe bomb carries a
parachute, which, unfolding as il starts
10 drop, not only slows the rate of Its
descent, but incidentally serves as
"drag-rudder." By fitting this drag
rudder in one direction or another the
bombs path Of descent is controlled.
As the projectile starts to fall, sec
ond and very tiny parachute is liber-
ated from the top of the bomb to sup
port vertically q wire that serves the
purpose of an antenna. II Is by tie
help of this antenna that the man N
the airplane is enabled so to operate
the radio apparatus carried in his MA
chine as to alter at will the angle OF
the drag-rudder.
While the bomb is going down lie
circles about aud stee.s II by radio.
All he has 20 do to make the boilb
turn this way or that is to turn han
die connected with his radio sender
in the desired direction. Thus the
bomb is made to land exactly wheie II
will do the most good-meaInns, u;
course, the most Observation-Disclosures

CLIMATIC EFFECT ON WOOD
Studies Made in Forest Service Lab
oratory Have Been Of Great
Value ip Aercnautics.

In the great laboratory at Madison,
Wis, maintained by the United States
forest service for woodworking ex-
periments special study has recently
been made of the effects Of various
climatic conditions upon airplane
propellers.
In one room, by regulation of
warmth and. moisture. the climatic
conditions of southern Texas or arid
Egypt were reproduced. 1t was found
that propellers subjected to these
conditions had Il tendency to dry out,
flatten and become unbalanced.
In another room the climate Of the
Amazon valley was initiated. This
caused propellers to warp badly and
toy change their shape so much as to
become totally unfit for use.
1t was found that a coat Of alum
inum leaf did best service as water
proof covering for propellers, which,
when thus protected, may be exposed
to a high humidity for long time
without warping. Leaf aluminium Is
so thin that from 10000 to 1900 lay
ers of il are required to make an inch
In thickness. One pound will cover
ITO propellers, at cost Of GO cents.

However, those less concerned with

story tells of bedouin who was SEN

The last week has been produc-
tive of a development in the line Of
railroad administration which,
though it has evoked only a limited
amount of attention, is, neyerthe-
less deserving of the greatest con-
sideration from all students of and
progress. The event referred to
was the announcement made practi-
.cally simultaneously by the Erie and
the Delaware and Hudson Railroad
Companies that on and after Jan. l.,
1922 life insurance ranging in
amount from $500 to $4,000 would
be furnished by each railroad to its
employees. who had been in its SER
vice a certain specified length Of
time. In the one instance a small
nominal sum will be charged each
employee for the service; in the
other the insurance will be furnish
ed the workers without eost to
them. These offers are made possi-
BILE by the cooperation of some OF
the old-line insurance companies.
This is not an entirely new PROPOSE
tion as various corporations have
hitherto offered insurance or PEN
sions to employees who have per-
formed extended and meritorious
service, but, we believe, this is the
first time such plan has been put
into operation on such a large and
comprehensive scale. Injustice and
selfishness there undoubtedly still
are in the relations of capital and
labor, but the future will be ever
hopeful while either side is capable
of such humanitarian offers as that
of the two transportation compani- !
mentioned.
