Fan Run By Hot Air.
IMPROVED and inexpensive device

IMPROVED and inexpensive devices
for mitigating summer heat are
always popular not only in the
tropics, but in every climate where
there are protracted warm seasons.
Such a device is the portable fan
propelled by a hot-air engine which
some time ago was invented abroad
and which has already attained con-
siderable vogue in India.
Owing to the intense heat that pre-
walls in that country during most
of the year, fans of some kind are
necessity to the comfort Of Euro
peans, and their offices. shops and
residences are all equipped with
the old-fashioned swinging screens,
known as "punkahs." which consist
of piece of cloth or mating
stretched over rectangular frame
hung from the ceiling and kept in
motion by servant at the end of a
cord. Wherever electricity is intro
duced these are generally super
seded by electric ceiling fans.
The fan is propelled by a hot-air
engine, the heat being generated by
a kerosene lamp which holds about
one quart of oil. sufficient to keep
the fan running for more than twen-
ty-four hours. To the lamp is at
tached a small glass chimney, which
fits into a larger metal chimney
connected with the engine. Upon the
top of the engine is hung the fan,
similar in shape and size to the or
dinary electric fan, whose speed is
governed by the size of the flame
that is. to reduce the speed the fame
is turned down and to increase it
the flame is turned up. The whole
outfit, it appears, weighs about thirty
pounds and sets upon a small stand,
raising the level Of the fan proper
to that of an ordinary desk. It is
fitted with handles and can be easily
removed to any portion of the room
or house desired.

The Gyroscope at Sea.

VERY successful. it appears, have
been the experiments which for
some years have been made with a
form Of the gyroscope. which is in
tended to correct errors of the
mariners compass and in certain
cases such as. for instance, In SUBJ
marine boats. to replace the compass.
The apparatus in one case is based
upon the tendency of a gyroscope to
retain its axis Of rotation in a fixed
position. If the axis is. set to corre-
spond with the course Of the ship
any change in the direction is Inn
mediately shown by the rotation Of
"rose." or compass card, within
which the, -gyroscope is suspended.
Deviations of the magnetic compass
are detected by the instrument.
with the aid of an electromagnet at
tachment the apparatus can be caused
to act either as a magnetic compass
or as q gyroscope, Independent of
magnetic influences. ;.a.. s-si-

a certain product they will find no
answer.
A second general service for more
efficient American business Is cutting
out the payment of freight on water
in lumber shipments. Lumber is be-
ing hauled steadily longer and longer
distances in the United States as the
sawmills crowd into the far south
and the far west, away from the dense
centers of manufacture and popula-
ton. The freight bill paid by the
average car Of lumber is getting
higher and higher every year. All
the more reason, then, to quit paying
freight on water. Very real and prac-
tical results have been obtained from
scientific studies of the seasoning of
lumber both by kiln drying and by
air drying in the mill yard. Aside
from reducing the weight Of the lum-
ber 25 per cent or more by ridding
it Of moisture, many other economies
can be effected through the right
kind of lumber seasoning by pre-
venting warping and checking of
boards with the resulting loss in
volume or in the quality of the ship
ped product. Here, again, courses of
instruction are offered systematically
two weeks or so each-to classes

chanics in charge of dry kilns and
others taken direct from the industry.

c. O.P. LEADERS
STUDY PLAN To
FINANCE BONUS
Money May Be Raised Thru
Sale in This Country of
British Refunding Bonds
NO DECISION REACHED
House Members Hope to Raise
Money Without Increasing
Burden of Taxation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-(By the
Associated Press) house
leaders are understood virtually to
have abandoned the idea of financing
the soldiers bonus bill by a general
sales tax
Opposition among majority mem
bers. mostly from the middle and far
west to a sales tax. is said to so
strong as to threaten defeat of such
a program. The alignment against il
is understood to be practically that
which forced acceptance fthe 90
per cent income surtax voted into the
revenue bill by the senate.
Developments at further hearings
today before the house ways and
means committee disclosed that in
spite of Secretary Melons opposition
to the plan, a number of the majori "
membefs favor the use of part of the
proceeds from the refunded British
debt in helping finance the adjusted
compensation.
They believe this would meet with
a greater measure of public approval
than would a program involving the
raising of the entire amount by spe-
cial taxes.
Representative Ramseyer, Republi-
can, Iowa, before the committee, op-
posed the proposal arguing that such
use of the money would be a breach
of contract with the holders of Liber-
ty bonds, who he said had been told
in the law adopted by congress that
the proceeds from the foreign debt
would be used to retire the Liberty
bonds issued to raise the money adj
Vanced to the debtor nations.
Chairman McFadden, of the bank
ing and currency committee. favored
the financing of the bonus through
the sale in this country of the refund
ed British bonds with the principal
and interest guaranteed by the Amer
ican government as well as the Brit
ish government. He contended that
with this double guarantee, the bonds
would bring higher price than would
American government securities sold
for the same purpose.
Increased inheritance taxes as an
other means of financing the bonus
was advocated by Ramseyer, who said
such taxes could not be passed caI
and would not be a penalty On initia-
tive and enterprise. He thought the
present return of s154, 900 from
this source could be increased by
$200,000,000 year without imposing
any hardships.
Chairman Fordney and some other
members of the committee apparent
ly received this suggestion without
approval, but other members indicat-
ed sympathy with it.
Now that the arms conference has
approved the naval limitation treaty
some committeeman are studying the
subject of naval and army reduction
as one means of providing revenue
for the bonus. Because of the cost
of scrapping ships on the ways, they
are not certain that the building ap-
preparation can be greatly reduced
in the next fiscal year, but it is their
thought that with many ships now
afloat consigned to the scrap heap.
the personnel can be cut down sharp
ly, effecting considerable saving.
