enjoyed and keenly contested. A
soft ball game was played between
Trivitt Memorial church and Main

A Good Deal of Valuable Information
Is Already Available,
The United State# intends to do for
jher ocean-fliers what the chart-mak
ers have done and'are doing for the
world’s shipping. Maps showing the
prevailing winds, foggy areas, zones
of law temperature, and so on, in the
North Atlantic are to be issued by the United States Hydrographio Office.
Although the charting of the upper
air is still, of course, at a very ele
mentary stage, a good deal of valu*
able information is. already available.
So long as he knows the strength and
direction of the surface-wind, an
aviator is able to predict with some
accuracy the state of the wind at
higher levels.
The pew maps show the seasonal
wind and weather conditions over the
Atlantic. They contain all available
Information as to the behaviour of
the wind at different heights, and to
facilitate reading they are printed in
various colors to correspond with var
ious heights up to 19,000 feet.
On the backs of the maps are
printed descriptions of the routes,
found most suitable for transatlantic’'
flights, foi’ the U. S. Hydrographic
Office has carefully analyzed all re
cent ocean flights. They also show
the various weather broadcasting sta
tions and their ranges. And it is in
teresting to notice that every point
along an approved route is covered
by at least one long-range transmit
ting station.
The maps, which are now Issued
monthly, are to be revised constantly,
so that they shall contain the latest
information. Consequent^', in time
the aviator should be, as reliably serv
ed with maps of the wind as, is the
present-day navigator with charts of
the sea.
“KOBOT” MAILWAY.
Carries 23,000 Mailbags Daily Across
London.
London’s latest marvel, the “Robot
Mailway,” which carries mails in
miniature, driverless trains across
the heart of the Metropolis at thirty-
five miles an hour' through a tube
eighty feet below street level, was
opened for practical traffic for the
first time recently.
This “mailway'' connects Padding
ton Railway Station with the White
chapel district post office, and there
are six intermediate stations—at the
Western Parcel and District Offices,
Mount.Pleasant, the Parcels G.P.O.,
King Edward Building, and Liverpool
Street Station.
It is hoped to extend the service
within ten years to King's Cross, Eus
ton, Waterloo, Victoria, London
Bridge, and Westminster.
Each train is controlled by an oper
ator in a switch-cabin, who can see
on a lighted indicator board its exact
position.
The train is brought to a stop by
switching off the current. This can
be worked so delicately that the train
can be pulled up at precisely the re
quired position oh each" platform.
The G.P.O. claim that a .daily load
of 23,000 mailbags can be carried
across London by the new line.
Cetewayo.
It is some forty-five years since
Cetewayo, King of the Zulu nation,
was brought to London after his de
feat at Ulundi and,subsequent cap
ture. He was provided with a resi
dence in Melbury road, London. He
was received by the Queen and the
Prince of Wales, and called on Mr.
Gladstone, and he was quite one of
the lions of the hour. A man of huge
girth, his appetite was enormous. It
was said that he could eat seven
pounds of rump steak at a sitting..*
He was much impressed by London
and its sights, but perhaps the' thing
which intrigued him most was a
pocket spectroscope, made by Brown
ing, which he called “the rainbow in
the bottle. ” The idea of carrying
about his own rainbdw tickled him
immensely. He died in 1884 of heart
disease. ’ ■

Glass That Won Wars.
Two of the oldest firms of opti
cians,^ Messrs. Dollond & Co. and
Messrs. Aitchison £ Co., recently join
ed forces and now form the largest
optical firm in the world, controlling
twenty-six shops in London and the
provinces.
..The late James Aitchison was one
of the pioneers of modern sight-test
ing methods and established the firm
bearing his name in 1880. Messrs.
Dollond & Co. were established in
1750 by John Dollond, the discoverer
of achromatic object glass.
Nelson and Wellington used the
handy portable telescope that Dollond'
Introduced. It superseded the 100-
foot telescopes used by Newton and
other astronomers. Wellington is
said to have been at a great advan
tage over enemy generals who did not
have the use of the Dollond glass.

No Hope for Germs!
No germs can resist the new liquid
germicide known as S.T. 37, which
destroys bacteria so quickly that it Is
impossible to measure accurately the
time in which the reaction occurs.
S.T. 37 possesses Seventy times the germ-killing power of pute carbolic
acid.
The selective capacity of the hew
germicide enables even the most re
sistant bacteria to be killed iii fifteen
seconds without Injuring the most
delicate tissues. I-Iexylresorcinol, a
synthetic chemical harmless to man,
is responsible for this extraordinary
germicidal power, and ft Is hoped to
flntl a means of “harnessing” the new
compound so that It can be put to ude
as w general antiseptic.
