has prepared plans for giant ship
which would utilize the decreased all

make such speed possible. The enor-
NOUS resistance encountered at low
attitudes at high speed would require
engines out of all proportion to the
plane to overcome it he believes, but
by ascending to between $4,000 and
$4,000 feet. the density of the air
would be so reduced that its resistance
would be correspondingly iesSened.
At such heights the passengers. and
the motors. too. would have to have

differs from the usual flying boat type
in that it is fitted with two winglike

Although the ship is designed as a

Herr Brenners design is based on
the fact that large part of the power

Through Comets Tail.
WHAT if some day the earth shou

WHAT if some day the earth should
w bump into a comets tail? What
would happen? Well, you ought to
know, for just the other day you
whizzed through the tail of Biela S
comet, says Popular Science Monthly.
Compared with the earth, q comet is
a porous thing, made of rocks and
gases hanging loosely together. The
only thing unusual 'as we shot
through the tail was shower of
meteors that burned up like spark
from Roman candles far in our upper
air
Biela's comet was first observed in
1926. WhiZzing through space, it was
seized by the gravity of Jupiter. But
this greedy planet. which has reached
it's tremendous size through just such
stunts did not succeed in grabbing it
for good. 1t did affect it, though, so
that it had to start on a regular path
way around the sun. That is why We
can see it at regular periods.
