Herr Hagen. a leading Rhenish banker,

He declares that Germany's most

confidence in Germany's power and
credit, and that everything must be
done to maintain that through the
world.

OF the German government bank, and

WELDED STEAMER
 IS SUCCESS, CLAIM

NEW YORK, Nov. IT, = The
 first welded steamer. The Pio-
 neer, completed in Brooklyn last
 June, is finishing her first season
 as tanker running between Ot-
 tawa and Montreal.
 The Westinghouse Electric Company, which supplied tho el- eetric arc welding machines that replaced riveting, announces re- ceipts of reports that the Pioneer has performed satisfactorily.
 In construction tests service conditions, such as striking sunk en objects, piers and other vessels were simuated by bending the cold welded plates, and crimpling them to find cut whether they sprang leaks along the welded lines. On her trip to destination the new vessel was purposely grounded at full speed to find out whether the hull would twist, and the company an nounces that no twisting move ment was found.
 The Pioneer is 102 feet long. 20 feet beam and IS feet in depth, with tank capacity of 72,000 gallons of gasoline and 5000 gallons of fuel. She is owned and operated by the Pio- i neer Transportation Company of ! Ontario, Canada.

Rare Book Secured by,
Library of Congress

One of the rarest of books on sci
ence, the first edition of Sir Isaac
Newton's "Principia," was obtained
by the Library of Congress, after years
of search. Though only an inch and
a half thick and ten inches high by
seven and a half inches wide, with
$40 pages, 1t has been termed "the
most important printed work on ex'
act science ever published" 1t was
published in 1887 in London, ald In 1t
Newton first gave to the world the
results of his fundamental study or
the laws of gravitation. Two issues
Of the first edition were made in the
year of its publication, one being In
tended for sale In England, and the
other on the Continent. The Library
Of Congress copy is of the first issue.
However, the entire edition was small
and 1t is related by contemporary
writer's that as early as 1851 1t was
very difficult TO obtain. At present 1t
Is almost completely unprocurable.
The library's copy was bought for
Watson Davis, managing editor Of
Science Service, but upon learning of
the library's desire for copy, he re-
linquished it. The full title of the
book, in Latin, is "Philosophie Nat
uralis Principal Mathematical" An In
teresting feature of the title page is
that it bears the imprimatur, or ap-
proval. Of Samuel Pepys, famous for
his diary, who was at that time presi-
dent of the Royal society.

it is now estimated that about 1900
miles of additional cable will be com.
pleted and ready for service by De,
cember 81 of this year. Also more
than 100000 will be spent ON new
open wire lines which are to be con-
structed through the less populated
sections Of the country.
The last report OF the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company shows
that more than one-half the total num-
Der of Bell owned telephones in the
United States are served from ex-
changes having direct connections
with the toll cable network Undoubt.
eddy the marked increase in the num-
Der of toll calls now being made has
resulted from the speeding up of the
service during the past year.
The three things affecting long dis
lance service, according to telephone
officials, have been the method Of
handling calls while the subscriber re-
mains at the telephone, the use of
cable rather than overhead wires for
the long distance circuit and the re-
duction in long distance rates. The
average length of time for handling
toll call has been reduced during the
past year from two minutes to one and
half minutes. Today about 80 per
cent. of all toll calls are handled while
the subscriber remains at the tele-
phone, as compared with so per cent.
about two years ago.
Increased use of long distance is due
for the most part to improved service.
but the reduction In rates has undoubt.
eddy tended to further increase the
use of the service, telephone officials
state.
The supplies with which this great.
ly enlarged telephone plant will be
constructed will be furnished largely
by the Western Electric Company,
supplers for the Bell Telephone Sys
TEN. Officials of the manufacturing
company report extensive arrange
ments now under way to provide for
an Increase in plant capacity to keep
pace with the enlarged construction
