NEW YORK, May 7-Colrm-
bia University now has a ma
chine that tells the flapper how
much she can eat without losing
her boyish figure.
Technically, this intricate ap-
paratus merely determines her
basal metabolism. But in plain
English it serves, indirectly as
an accurate barometer of the
goods appetite.
Malnourished students will
be able to put on weight and
those who are super plump will
be able to take some off by
needing the statistical advice
handed out by the respiration
gauge that has been installed in
the laboratory of Grace Nc
Leod, professor of nutrition.
All young woman has to do
to learn her caloric minimum is
to abstain from food for II to
19 hours and then submit to
two ten minute respiration

hours the chief and took q launch
and began to investigate the rise OF
the water and it's ultimate holding Of
maximum level To take the sud
den rise FIRST though IL was the sec
ond point OF our investigation, this
was due to two things. The water
fall was supplied from that lake on
the higher step above the plateau.
Normally the Lake was filled from
underground springs, and at it's usual
level fed our waterfall through a
submerged outlet. But with the sud
den rise OF the lake level owing to
the torrential rain and tho cloud
burst, its waters began to pour over
It's lip into a crack which led 70 a
second passage running underground
to join up with the normal conduit
to the fall. Second. the lake waters
found another outlet over the aide
OF the hilF and into a course, usually
dry. which brought them into the
cup OF land north of the lower step
OF the plateau. This, with other
streams pouring into the cup,
brought the water speedily up 20 a
high level. for the little canon of our
stream to the Innominata was not
capable OF letting the abnormal in
fiux escape at any speed. Thus the
waters of the cup and OF our under
bIoultu ndu Ouly TWO hodhb Oh
egress-through the gorge and through
the smaller entrance to our cavern.
When the waters reached a certain
height. however, they found two ex-
ira outlets. One, we discovered, was
in the cave itself-a minor cave on
the west side, which at its extreme
end shelved down TO a deep subter-
ranean chasm. The second was a
break in the lip OF the north cup,
over which the waters poured into
the wash land beyond.
We now had learned our lesson. and
would know what TO do in the event
of another storm in the future. When
the waters subsided, as they did in
the course of the day, we put Number
One back in her hangar and brought
the Two into tho middle of the main
cave. Lin Greensleeve had put a few
of his small shots into the ridge of
the ceiling, and with long leads he
exploded them, to his and our entire
satisfaction.
One point remains. Our fowls and
ducks, which had tho highest cave
in the lower series, escaped with
nothing worse than a bad fright We
found them huddled at the extreme
end of their habitation. and MoEKs

and by the very negation made him
soif the nub of drama the most poig-
nant apd telling. He simply asked
the men to be faithful, to use the
power he might have to put in their
hands with care for human life, and
never to let themselves stray for a
single moment from the strictest
sense or duty. Finally he asked them
to trust themselves and him.
Wen trust you, chief-all right"
some Of them said.
I'm sure you will, gentlemen" said
tho master. You have shown me
that can trust you implicitly. You

first phase of your work. No men
cou.d have done better. See to IL that
you finish your course with equal
faith, equal good service. II we serve
our cause and each other with whole
hearted zeal, we cannot fall"
Twenty-Five men were aboard Ark
of the Covenant ! when we set out
in the middle day for the city Of New
York. We climbed high. out of sight,
practically, and. with the heaters and
compressed air at work, made our
way In direct line for our destina-
tion. Our journey was uneventful,
and Cnly the steady creep of tho map
on the navigating globe marked our
progress With the dark we dropped
to 1900 meters and breathed fresh
air. We were over New Jersey after
midnight
We lowered our gondola with its
crew to low height, and from there
we dropped our gas bombs on the
petrol station. The airship then came
down until she was almost nesting
on the tops of the sheds. From the
airship we let down tubing, and.
working in gas masks, we robbed the
tank of its spirit. The whole opera
tion took less than half an hour.
Thence we proceeded to tho bust
ness quarter. We dropped bombs at
the ends of a long thoroughfare and
one in the center. Again the ship
was brought close to the earth, this
time so that she lay along the street
The gondola rested on the car lines.
To break into the food stores was an
easy task, requiring no moro than a
stout Jimmy, and our men began to
hand out the stores as Devonridge
and I selected them This occupied
an hour, and we came away after
leaving money roughly calculated to
pay for the goods.
1t was now close on o'clock. We
mounted high and crossed the river
until we lay over wall street. The
gondola was lowered from a great
height. and telephone communication
from II gave US our direction. We
strewed bombs all about the district,
IL altogether, so that the gas clouds
wreathed the streets visibly to us.

was afraid some poor chap had done
so unnoticed.
We brought the first ship, as I have
said, to the point where the cave was
highest, and here we moored her as
best we could.
The danger for Number Two was
now imminent. She was completed
except for her engines, and as yet she
was not buoyed with gas. When we
went to look after her we found her,
as her sister had been, half immersed
in water. with her stays holding her
down. The stays were cleated under
water, and several of the men were
about drowned in unhitching them.
We succeeded in freeing her, only to
be faced by another peril.
The roof of her cave came down In
the middle to a sharp ridge, and II
she rose higher the danger was that
her back would be broken, or at
least buckled beyond repair, for we
had no rolling mills to straighten her
girders. 1t was out of the question,
again, to pull her out to a higher
portion of the main cave, since the
neck of her hangar was it's lowest
saved her.
Lin took a party of men with picks
up to her observation top. and on her
upper deck he set them to hewing
down the saw-like ridge, which was
nothing else than a series of stalac-
tites of varying depths. depending
from the line of some transverse
crack in the ceiling. They hewed Off

ate resource, was for putting in one
or two of his favorite shots, the
water suddenly stopped rising.
We stood by them and examined
the state of affairs. We found that
Number One still had a couple OF
meters to spare for clearance, and
that the Two. though her fabric was
sadly knocked about by the fall OF
rock from the ceiling, was structur-
ally intact. But the rise of the water
for another half a meter would
buckle her past redemption
Lin still was eager to try a small
shot or two at the stubborn points
of the ridge, but as the water seem ed
to have found its level and had not
risen for about 40 minutes, the chief
and 1 decided to risk the chance.
We mustered our men and found
all present. They were sadly
drenched and disheveled but CHEEKY
inspite of chattering teeth and tired
limbs. The excellent Moggs had be-
gun to cook early breakfast at the
shout of "Spell-hoi" and by the time
we trooped into the living rooms he
had gallons of hot coffee and noun
tains of appetizing food prepared.
We were spared further anxiety, for
the water remained at its last level
for several hours, though the water
fall still roared and threw It's COL
