Rocket Will Sample Earth's Upper Air

only In mind the more modest and
practicable plan of ostaining records
of the intensity Of the suns radiation.
and Of the composition, electrical con-
ditions and temperature of the atmos-
phere at heights hitherto entirely in
accessible to man.
DR.. w. ]. Humphreys, professor Of
meteorological physics in the United
States weather bureau and an author
ity on the earth's atmosphere, said in
commenting on Professor Goddard's
scheme:
1T would be a great advantage to
the meteorologist to know the compo-
ton apd temperature of the upper at
mosphere at heights above those al
ready explored by sounding balloons.
On both these points observations and
theories based upon meteors and au-
roras are in radical conflict with each
other and both differ entirely from the
hitherto recognized orthodox theories.
The Goddard rocket gives promise of
definitely settling the question of con-
ditions at such high attitudes.

CHANGING MILK FLAvoRs AND DOORS

Undesirable flavors and odors in
milk produced by feeding green alfal-
ia, green corn or turnips may be pre-
vented by giving these feeds at the
proper time or they may be reduced
by thorough aeration of the milk, ac-
cording TO tests made by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
It is shown that green alfalfa pro-
duces much more pronounced "on'
fiavors and odors than does green corn.
Even when % pounds of green corn
is fed one hour before milking the
milk is only slightly tainted; if fed af-
ter milking nothing undesirable is mo-
ticeable. Feeding 80 pounds of green
alfalfa one hour before milking. or as
little as 10 pounds. produced objec-
tionable flavors and odors.
In some regions root crops are used
TO supply succulence in the fall and
winter, and among these crops turnips
are one Of the most commonly given

IF THE rocket invented by Prof.
r. III. Goddard of Clark university
proves a success, we shall soon
know much more about the COM
position of the upper atmosphere of
the earth than we do now. Professor
Goddard announced TO the last meeting
of the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science that he was
now near his goal
In his earlier experiments under the
auspices of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, Professor Goddard used smoke
less powder as propelling force, but
he has recently solved the problem
of utilizing liquid fuel, burning it con-
tinuously and gradually in pure oxy-
gen without overheating the combus-
ton chamber. BY this means it Is
possible TO give the rocket speed of
&c miles a second. Would this be
all that is necessary to carry 1t out of
range of the force of the earth's CRAWL
tation, once free of which the rocket
would proceed on indefinitely until it
struck some heavenly body?

Hoof-beats again sounded by the

"Oh, here you are, Drazk. How
