New York to Kayak, Syria, in
August, 1888.
Plans Laid in 1892
If they choose South America
as their goal and succeed in the
attempt, they will have fulfilled
plans Rossi first made nearly two
years ago.
Rossi and Lucien Bossoutrot
tried unsuccessfully for 10 months
in 1882 and 1888 to get away
from Istres in the Joseph Lebrix
on a record breaking hop to
Buenos Aires, but rain, fog and
wind blocked their plans. Z
CodOs replaced BossoutrOt. who
now is testing out a new seaplane,

American airmail service. and
with Rossi took the Joseph Lebrix
to New York for the successful
jump to Syria.
For a westward flight the itin-.
erary would be Casablanca. Port

Natal and Buenos Aires. East
ward the plane would fly over the
Mediterranean, Karachi and Cal
cutta to Singapore and possibly on
toward Saigon, Indo-China.

least 70 hours and cover 10000

The Joseph Lebrix carries 92l
gallons of oil and more than l.

burns at the rate of "a to 20 gal

er motor is the same that carried
it to a new record last year.

ly 10 tons. 1t carries radio send
ing and receiving sets.
To Communicate Hourly
AT hourly intervals the plane
will receive and send wirless mes
sages on wave lengths of 600 to
900 meters for communication
with ships. 1t will also receive
messages from other stations on
a wave length of 81 meters from
9 a. m. to Q p. m. and 81 meters

Columbia Broadcasting System,

of a so per cent stock dividend on
the outstanding Class A and Class
B stock, it was learned.
On Monday the company filed
papers in Albany doubling the
authorized capitalization from $3,-
100000 to $7,5OO,OOO. Columbia
Broadcasting for 1888 showed a
net profit of $72S,794 which was
equivalent to $1.64 a share on the
combined Glass A and B shares.
The Paley interests are among the
largest stockholders.
There are outstanding 562,22O
combined shares of Class A and B
stocks. Both classes of stock were
split five for one last February.
The proposed stock dividend
would not absorb all Of the IN.

would thus provide shares for
other corporate needs of the fu-
