FLIER'S DEATH RECALLS
HIS THRILLING FLIGHT

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-LP)-The
flight Of Commander John Rodgers
and his crew Of four, was the third
of trio of historic air adventures
by the military and naval forces
OF the United States, no less great
than the other two ventures, although
it did end in failure and near tragedy.
The first was the crossing Of the At
lantic by the naval seaplane NC-4,
and the second the circumnavigation ION
Of the globe by army airmen.

planes, the PN-9 No. and the PMS

He was heard from regularly
throughout the remainder Of the day
and most Of the next day. With the

the nearest destroyer that he was
going through "hellish" storm and
that his supply Of gasoline was Civ

Some Little KnotUn
Facts About SLEEP

The harder a man works the less
sleep he requires; strong coffee does
not help to keep people awake; and
anyone who goes without sleep for
three nights in succession will feel far
more tired on the second night than
OF the third
These startling statements have all
been proved true by psychologists.
The investigators believe that the
human race sleeps too much. During
recent test nine people Of each sex
went without sleep for eighty hours.
At the end Of that time it was found
that eight to ten hours sleep was suf.
fcient to restore them to normal
Exercise and moderate eating helped
the subjects of the experiment to keep
awake. They swan, ran, drove motor
cars, and played games. After forty
five hours Of wakefulness 1t was found
very difficult to drive a motor-car, but
on the third night drowsiness almost
completely disappeared, and driving
became comparatively easy.
Although physical strength declines
as the result Of any serious loss of
sleep, mental alertness is in no way
dulled.

Man Not Yet Able
to Make Wind Work

If we could bring the wind into
subsection, and store it for power pur-
poses as we do water it would enable
us TO scrap our coal mines and oil
wells
The power of wind is enormous.
An ordinary 20-miles-an-hOur breeze,
such as one commonly feels on the
pier at the seaside, eXerts a pressure
of two pounds to every square foot,
whilst if the wind speed is doubled
the pressure is Quadrupled That is
to say, 4O-miles- -an-hour wind ex-
ertS a pressure of eight pounds per
square foot.
The trouble is that the wind pres
sure is so variable 1t is estimated
that during q hours, taking the year
round, there are IS hours during
which the wind is not strong enough
to turn the sails of windmill.
But even this inconStant agent can
do Il great amount Of work. At Faver-
sham - horsepower windmill
raised in ten months 21,000,000 gallons
water from d depth of over 100 feet
Needless to say, every year, in Britain
alone hundreds of millions of horse
power blow to waste, which, could il
be utilized, would turn every whee

Ozone Produced by
SeolUeed in DecayinQ

The name ozone simply means "a
SMELL" since long ago it was noted
that oxygen through which an elec,
trio spark had passed gave off pc
culiar smell, the scent which we per,
ceive at electricity works or in some
Of the tube railways, where artifcially
produced ozone is employed to purify
the air. In nature, ozone is found
often in the atmosphere after a thun-
derstorm, or in very tiny quantities on
mountains Or at the seaside, Or even
in the country. Town air, laden with
impurities, Is impossible for it. So
that there really is a certain amount
of ozone present near the sea. 1t is
not this, however, that the visitor
smells-the proportion being far toe
small for notice-but the gas given off
by decaying seaweed, the very pro.
nounced odor from the latter being
almost invariably put down as due to
ozone"

Paying Life Insurance

A leading life insurance company
says the practice of life insurance
companies concerning the termination
of policies on persons who outlive the
highest age of the mortality tables ON
which their rates are based is not uni
form. Most companies pay the face
Of the policy to all those who reach
the highest age Of the mortality table
Since most companies do their Ordf-
nary business on the American ex-
perience table, this age would be
hinety-fve years. However, many
companies operate on different tables
of mortality and some companies hold
the face Of the policy and pay it with
accumulated interest at 4 per cent to
the beneficiary. The general practice
is to pay the face of the policy to the
insured at whatever age the reserve
equals the face of the policy.
