The Tax Stamp collection which
Gale Stevens of the Ottawa Coun-

way. The east coast project COM
prised 80 lights, the west coast
project 25.
These two programs were COM
pleted at the end of 1910. Their
success was the outcome of an in
innate collaboration between the
Swedish pilot service and the Aga
Company. Four standard types of
small unnamed lighthouses were
used. Pre-fabricated forms of
wood or sheet iron were employed
for the concrete work, and some
of them We're built on pre-fabri-
Gated concrete caissons, which
were towed to the site of the light
and sunk there. The lights were
all built with a standard diameter
of about 6 feet and a standard wall
thickness of 6 inches.
Apart from these unnamed
standard lights, IL large light
houses, showing many novelties as
to construction and equipment,
were built in Sweden during the
war.

''Smoke Tunnel"
Gets First Test

OSLO-Norway's first smoke
tunnel" replacing the conventional
smoke stack. recently underwent
preliminary tests at the Norsk
Aluminium Company's plant at
Hoyanger.
Like many factories in the ford
districts, the Hoyanger plant is in
a deep narrow valley. In recent
years it was noted that gases
from the plants new electrolysis
installations were damaging plant
life in the area and that new
smoke stack would be necessary.
Instead of building the 600-foot
stack necessary to carry the HARM
full vapors into the upper air, en-
gineers decided on the smoke-tun-
mel system, and during the war
years work was begun on the new
installation
The smoke is first washed to
remove the fluorine gas and is
then driven by powerful fans
through steel pipes to the tunnel
inlet. The tunnel itself is sunk 80
feet in the mountainside, is nine
feet in diameter, and energies at
the mountain-top some 500 feet
above the valley floor. Here, pre-
vailing winds dispense the harmful
gases.

OSLO.-Field statistics recently
released for Sofa Airport at Sta
vanger give good indication of
the ideal weather conditions pre-
vailing at that base. It is noted
that from August 18th to Deem
Der 10, 1947, total of Al land
ings were made at the airport by
scheduled airlines which were un-
able to land at their regular stops
because of bad weather.
Sofas good weather record is
further illustrated by January
February figures for last year
when the GOO sign landing for
bidden) was in operation for but
SIS minutes. In one day alone, %
landings were made by scheduled
airlines because most other Euro
pean airports were closed due to
weather conditions.
Total cost of developing the Sola
base into a first-class trans-At-
lantic terminal has been estimated
at S2,940,000. Under the 1946-47
State Budget, $500, 900 was appro-
priated for preliminary work while
an additional $4,000 was pro-
vided under the present budget.

observation-disclosures the war
years 1889 to 1915, the number
of lighthouses along the coasts of
Sweden increased from 464 to
GAS, or by no less than 181. In
little more than one year-1939
and 194O-114 new unnamed Aga
lights were built, which is a re-
cord in the history of the Swedish
pilot service.
Sweden's coastline, which has a
length of 1,15O miles, stretching
from the North Sea in the west
to the northern end of the Gulf
of Bothnia, is guarded by an al
most unbroken series of archipel-
agoes. Only certain parts of these
archipelagoes afford passag e 8
deep enough for very large ships,
while there are a great number of
channels navigable to small and
sized vessels. These "in-
side" sheltered routes have always
been of great Importance to Swed-
ish shipping, and in wartime they
have made sea traffic possible en-
tirely within protected Swedish
waters. But there is one essen
tial condition for the full use of
these coastal waterways: an ex-
tensive system of navigation
lights.
The first real system of light
houses in Swedish waters was
created during the second half of
the 10Th century. Following Gus
tat Dalen's epoch-making inven-
lions in the field of navigation
lights, the beaconing out of the
Swedish waters. continued at a
fairly rapid rate. A few years
before the war, surveys had been
made with a view to establishing
a coastal waterway with mini
mum depth of 20 feet from the
Aland Islands down to Kalmar
Sound in the Baltic. These sur
veys were nearly completed when
the war broke out The immediate
consequence of the new situation
was that a plan was drawn up for
providing this waterway with
lights as quickly as possible, and
at the same time a new project
was presented, aiming at the Gre
alton of a similar 20-foot fairway
along the west coast up to Nor
