each 25 feet in diam eter and 1925 of
an inch in thickness, thus affording a
total ascensional force of about 1850
pounds, of which some 1920 pounds
would be the weight of the copper
shells, leaving 1,030 pounds for the
weight of the car, passengers, etc.
The difficulty of securing sufficient
strength to withstand the pressure of
the atmosphere, Lana assumed, would
be met by the domed form of the
surface. However, he was doomed to
disappointment, and the practicability
Of this idea still remains to be demon
strated.
De Gusman, or Gusmao, a Brazilian
priest, was given a monopoly of air
transportation by the King of Portu-
gal in 1903 in recognition of his in
vention of a flying machine. History
does seem to show that he covered
wicker basket with paper which
elevated itself as high as the Tower
of Lisbon" and it has been presumed
that hot air was the agency.
It remained, however, for Etienne
and Joseph Montgolfier to demon
strate the possibilities of ballooning.
These brothers were the sons of
Peter Montgolfier, a paper manu-
facturer of Annonay, France. They
started to experiment with large
paper bags under which they burned
chopped straw. Though success inn
mediately resulted in these expert
ments, it is interesting to note that
it was some time before the brothers
realized that the real source of the
lifting power was due to the heating
of the air within the bags and not
the smoke with which they sought
to I'LL them.

Early Aeronautics in Europe.

THE inception of the idea of the
balloon and the rigid airship has
been awarded by at least one author
ity to Roger Bacon, English philos-
opher 11214-1294), who seems to have
been the first to realize the principles
of aerostation as apart from aviation
says the National Aeronautic Associ-
alton Review.
He suggested "a large hollow globe
- filled with ethereal air or
liquid fire." with mechanism which
may put Gin motion some artificial
wings"
Mendoza (1503-1575) suggested that
metal or other bodies filled with
"ether," which "can be made lighter
than an equal volume of our impure
air, would float in the air"
Faverinus, who died in 1887, wrote
of the alleged flight of Archytas (282-
312 B.C.1 pigeon as having been put
in motion by hidden and inclosed air. ;
John wilkins, Bishop of Chester, in
1888, in discussing the various pos
sibilities of flight, affirms the sugges-
ton of Mendoza, but says that Men
doza got the idea from A1bertus de
Saxo1ia of 1850.
Lauretus Taurus, in 1860, suggested
that Archytas could have made his
device fly had he made use of the
lifting force of gas, for he mentions
that the shells of eggs, "if properly
filed and secured against the pene-
tration of air and exposed to solar
rays, will. ascend to the skies"
Then came Francesca Lana, Jesuit
priest of Italy, dramatist and scien-
.tist, who printed in 1870 his famous
@reatise on The Aerial Ship"
Lana proposed an airship sustained

the officers" IL desertion is so active
and conscription SO dreaded, it seems
that the Chinese soldier does not
actually want war-and the entire
burden falls upon the officers, almost
all of whom seem to be generals. In
fact, we were treated to a news item
in our Hankow paper few weeks
ago that there was danger Of an in
vasion of Hupeh by a combination OF
three powerful generals in an upper
fangtse port The only thing that
prevented it was that the generals
could not agree whether to combine
and invade Hupeh, or whether the two
most friendly ones should attack the
third, whom they did not like.

The chief of staff, United States
Army. Maj. Gen. John l.. Hines, has
an interesting dog, an English wire

England. His father won a blue rib

Maj. Gen. and Mrs. George Barnett
have with them now Ty Cobb, a bull
dog with gentle soul, who was the
mascot of the Marine Corps during
the World War, when Gen. Barnett
was the major general commandant
of the corps. Ty is 16 years old and
rather infirm of body, but his soul is

other Barnett dog is Ding How. a Pc

~HE ice-patrol season on the
great Atlantic has arrived. 1t
is carnival time for icebergs-
and these great majestic pal
aces of crystallized water
have been slowly getting under way
for their stately float of 1000 miles
from the great banks of Greenland
into the highways of the ocean.
One Sunday in March two valiant lit
tie cutters, Tampa and Modoc. under
the direction of Lieut.. Commandant
+. A. Zeusler, sailed from Boston TO
the customary lookout points in the
ice area.
Here. with many new appliances

these perils of the deep, with con-
stant observation and reports con-
cerning their menace sent TO trans
atlantic steamers. The sonic depth
finder, for which Congress has pro-
vided an appropriat of $4,000, Is
used for the first time, and Comman-
dant ZeuSler is optimistic over the
promised results of this apparatus.
BY means of this it is hoped to De
tect icebergs by sound reflection; IN
other words, by their echoes they
shall be revealed.
THE development of this depth
finder" said Commandant Zeusler JUST
before leaving Washington, is Oh
great importance as scientlIlc con-
tribution to the safety of the sea-
and I believe without oouot tna'
it is going to work. -
New two-tuhe radio sets, which Will
obviate all relaying of messages, are
another new feature of the trip TINS
year.
1--WE have been working on these
radios for some time" said the com
mandant, "and we now know direct
messages can be transmitted with no
attendant danger of mistakes through
relaying.''
There are three sets, one each Tor
the two vessels regularly assigned TO
the ice patrol, the Tampa and the
Modoc, and one for the relief vessel
These will provide the international
Toe Patrol Service with means for
carving on more efficiently the I'M

At the last meeting of the Board of
International Service of Ice Observation,
Ice Patrol and Ocean Derelict Destruc-
tion II was pointed out that provision
had been made in the construction OF
the new radio apparatus for wireless
telephone attachment to be available in
the event there should be occasion for
it's use.
But. after much discussion, the steam-
ship people proved that the broadcast
ing of ice information by wireless
telephony to passing ships, which no
doubt would be heralded all over the
ship, would not only be an unnecessary
practice, but would have an undesirable
psychological effect upon passengers
while traversing the ice-patrol area. 1t
also was pointed out that the use of
wireless telephony had not come into
general favor as an efficient means of
communicating official and important

Time is lost" says the commandant
of this years expedition, by a1ternat-
ing oceanographers. 1t takes a day to
explain just where the retiring one has
left off in his observation and where
the succeeding officer is to take it up.
"It is much better" he added, for
one man to do all the observing; his in
termittent rest made possible by his as
sistant, who is with him constantly
through the trip
DO the transatlantic steamers mind
your instructions? ?" was the question
asked of Zeusler.
There is excellent cooperation by
all of the steamships. They realize the
Importance of following the designated
routes, and, like railway train, stay on

In a way Commandant Zeusler is a
train dispatcher as well as an ocean
ographer in the iceberg region, and his
word is law.
1t is the Labrador current, accord

and the first investigating work is to
discover just how far down this cur
rent comes.
The general scheme of circulation
and the resultant behavior of ice
! bergs is then determined by the dis
| tribution of salinity and tempera-
lures.
To the unintiated it would seem
that any ship ought to sight an ice
| berg easily, when statistics show
many are one mile long, with tower
| ing pinnacles OF 100 feet. But only
| one ninth of this bulk in many cases
Is exposed, and at night it is i'm
| possible to see them.
The international Ice Patrol for Ice
bergs was established in 1913, so that
the Titanic disaster of April, 1912,
might not be repeated.
| At the international conference on
the safety of life at sea, which was
convened in London, November II,
| 1913, the subject of patrolling the
ice regions was thoroughly discussed
and the convention was signed oil
January 20, 1914, by the representa-
tives of the various maritime powers
of the world. 1t provided for the
inauguration of an international
| derelice 5estruction, ice observation
and ice-patro1 service, consisting of
two vessels which should patrol the
fee regions during the season Of S::-

atlantic lanes clear

the proud four-footed pets of the

Chandler Christy, to pose in the White
House grounds with Mrs. Coolidge for
the painting presented to the White
House by the fraternity of which she is
a member.
Paul Pry, the inquisitive -Airedale, is
Mrs. Coolidge's companion on her walks
up Connecticut avenue and around the
Washington Monument and Lincoln
Memorial. He is a very obedient dog,
and Mrs. Coolidge is often able to trust
him enough to release him from his
leash and allow him to scamper and
play about her.
he was presented to the White House
with the suggestion that he be named
Laddie Buck. in compliment to Laddie
Boy, the White House dog of the Hard
ing administration, the determined Aire-
dale made a decided stand for a name
all his own. Because he spent his puppy
days scampering from one room to an
other, eager to find out just what the

ceived the cognomen of Paul Pry.

Montana State. Gets New
Name In City Directory
EDITOR PUT INSTITUTION
UP AS AN EXPERIMENT
STATION

"Holy st. Andrew and the cat got
out of the bag"
Montana State has a new name.
1t has been classed as everything
from the "Cow College" to "BOzeman
College," Friends and enemies have
battered its name about until many
are wondering just what the official
name of the institution might be.
And then along comes the editor
of the 1925 directory for Bozeman and
gives the institution an entirely diff
ferent handle. A reporter happened
to stumble on the name of Thaler,
Jos. A.-and then-the reporter found
he was a "prof., Mont. Agrl. Expert
ment Sta" But the Western, Cen
eral and Westinghouse electrical COM
panies all have him classified as a
professor of electrical engineering
and the American Institute of Elec-
trical Engineers has elected him a
fellow. Possibly they made a mis-
take! A!
The reporter searched further, and
he found Tallman, VIM. D., prof,
Mont. Agrl. Experiment Sta, on an
other page. That was too much and
he sought still more names of illus
trious professors at Montana State
College only to find. them listed as
Experiment Station employees.
Will someone kindly explain tC
President Atkinson just what the
name of the institution is so he won't
get out in the Wilds of Montana anC
not be able to get back?
