Paris Seeking to Save
Historic ROYAL Bridge

Paris.-Engineer, spare that bridge |!
is the cry that is being sent up
by loyal and sentimental Parisians
as the pick and ak threaten to de-
molish the Pont Royal, built by
Louis XIV and cherished by many.
This is the bridge which connects
the right and left banks of the
Seine at the western end of the
Louvre, and the commission du vieux
Paris is asking the powers that be
TO register the bridge as a historic
monument, thus saving it from de-
struction.
The story goes that one day Louis
NV was passing along the quai
on the Louvre side when he CHANGED
to see ferryboat, a "bac" it was
called, capsize and dump all its oc-
cupants into the water. Good gra-
ciousl" he said to his architect, 81
can't have my subjects drowned
like dogsl Build me a bridge on this
spot at oncel !" And that's how the
Pont Royal happened. And that's
how the Rue du Bac got its name
the street that continues the Point
Royal on the Quai d'Orsay side of
the river.
The plant that imperils the an
cient bridge is that it takes up too
much room.

Heat and Cold Aid in
Giving Planes Strength

New York.-Two opposites, dry
ice and electric furnaces, can be
thanked for the tremendous strength
which has been built into the mod
ern airplane, says bulletin of
United Air Lines, commenting on
features of construction in the 60
three mile-a-minute, multi-motored
Boeing planes it now has on It's
routes. These are the first high
speed, all-metal, transports ever
built.
By taking rivets from a 950-de-
gree heat-treating bath to sub-freez-
ing temperatures of dry Ice contain
ers, the aging of rivets is definitely
retarded. By heat-treating metal,
the tensile strength Is more than
doubled, duralumfnum being raised
from the normal strength of 10000
pounds per square inch to approx
mately 5000 pounds per square
inch.
The steel used In the landing gear
of the planes has a tremendous ten
sile strength of 10000 pounds per
square inch, because of heat treat
ing, and the landing gear can with
stand an emergency impact Of 80

for the Pasteur institute In Paris,
Is here arranging for the produc-

for use In experiments In the treat
ment Of cancer.
He is appealing particularly for
cobras and estimates he will require
the venom of at least 5000 snakes
If he is to collect the quantity he
wants in a reasonable time.

set up at the Haffkin institute,
where 80 snakes have been installed
and are undergoing treatment de-
signed to produce the maximum

Use Of venom for the treatment
Of cancer is still in the experiment
al stage, and he would not disclose

The streets spanned by the Brook
Ign bridge and those on which its
piers and approaches stand are not

DOGS and Chickens
Rain Upon Ranch

San Jose, Caiif.-It rained
chickens, dogs and dried fruit
here recently.
Rancher Nick Suzzalo, his fam
ilv and neighbors swear to it.
A freak cyclone suddenly
struck the Santa Clara Valley
ranch. A hencoop was lifted In
midair. splitting its contents, a
brood of thoroughly frightened
chickens. Trays of dried fruit
were lifted overhead and show
cred Suzzalo. A kennel and
large dog chained to it were
tossed on high. The dog sus-
tanned a broken leg in the crash
that followed.
Suzzalo's ranch was the only
one SO affected. but two similar
storms have occurred recently.
They are believed due to con-
formation of the hills which
generate powerful air currents.

American Owns Private
Chapel in French Town

RambOuillet, France.-For the
first time within century a private
chapel has been consecrated In
France, and the owner is Arthur
Moulton. AS far as 1t is known,
this Is the only private chapel

Very Rev. Frederick w. Beck
man. dean of the American cathe-
dral Of the Holy Trinity at Paris,
performed the conservation cere-
monies. The chapel is part of the
Chateau de la Verriere.
The Chateau de la verriere is
considered one of the most striking
edifices of It's kind near Paris. 1t
is about halfway between Versailles
and Rambouillet. and touches on
the western edges of the Bots de
Trappea. The original chateau
dates from the renaissance, but 1t
was rebuilt during the Nineteenth
century. 1t was owned by Count
de la Valetet. postmaster general
under Napoleon.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Moulton &C
quired the chateau. dividing his time
between it and his other French
dwelling at Villefranche, on the Ri
yiera, and Florida. The first was
owned over a century ago by Col.
George Thorn, who had a private
chapel with Church of England
chaplain, but American Episcopal
prayer books. In his Paris residence.

These arctic adventures com
menced in 1913 with the Ruby, a
wooden schooner with an auxiliary
plant Of 40 horsepower. The pi-
oneer voyage was arranged by A.
Bassett, fur trade inspector for the
company. The master was an ex-

trader. Then. as now. ships bound
around Barrow had to adjust their
sailing TO a period In summer when
balmy southern winds looSened the

month the master and crew fought
to free the ship. while the wind
blew the icepack almost opposite
the mouth Of the Mackenzie river,
then west and north toward the ST.

and steam the crew managed to
keep the vessel In a small lake, but

Captain Foelmer gave the order to
