Some indication of its size can be gauged from the fact that, with a foil complement ot pas- sengers and crew, and lulled, it will weigh nearly thirty-five tons. An official of 'Vickers aircraft branch dloeussing the machine recently said the metal which is being Welly used for the flying boat 11 duralumin, whicb,� while beingas light as aluminum, le winch stronger. It is heated by a pro. , ease which makes It immune to attack' by salt air and sea water. Eve* part of the machine likely to be subjected to severe stress and strain will be put through tests on ma Chines constructed for the purpose, and when launched ,will take the water in precisely the same way as a liner. The wing is constructed in metal except for the coveringof the trailing: portion, which 1s of fabric. The main spar structure is of stainless steel, in- cluding the nolo covering, which pro- vides the torsional rigidity essential to a monoplane wing: Wind tunnel experiments made with a scale model !ndieete that the new machine will have a landing speed ot 70 miles an hour, a rate of climb o1. 750 feet aminilte,' a normal' rangeof 750 feet a minute, a normal range of 1,300 miles, Graf Zeppelin Adds to Long Log Big German Dirigible's Trip to Arctic Caps Remark- able Record of World • Voyages By Lauren D. Lyman, in the N. Y. Times. The Graf Zeppelin, which recently baa been nosing about in the North Polar regions, although no longer a novelty, is still one of the marvels of this aeronautical age. Finished in September, 1928, the Graf started on her career as a world rover the following month and since Hien has flown close to 125,000 miles, has curried about 2,000 passengers and has returned many thousands of dollars in mall, freight and passenger tariffs- to her owners. She Dost about $800,000 and, although during her eventful career the has triumphantly vindicated Dr. Eekener's confidence in lighter -than -air craft, she has been close to disaster on two occasions Once, members of her own crew saved her and another time a detachment ot French soldiers, hastily mustered as a ground crew, went to her rescue in Southern Prance when propeller shattg on several motors cracked at the start of one of her six transatlantic voyages. Off to a Good Start Isle of Pheasants Slowly Becoming Attached to Land Paris. — A historic little island known as the Isle of Pheasants in the Bidassoa River, on the frontier be- tween France and Spain, is gradually ceasing to hes an island, According to a correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor, and, through changes in the river's course, is becoming at- tached to the French sbore. It was More that, in 1659, the conference was held which brought an end to the long war between France and Spain which persisted even atter general European peace was established by the Treaty ot WeetphaIia in 1649. The island was then exactly In the middle of the river, and great care was taken to build the special pavilion erected for the use ot the negotiators in the exalt center of the island,_ which, it was agreed, should be recognized as belonging halt to France and half to Spain," The principal actors in the drama et 1659 were Mazarin and Louis XIV, on the French side, and Don Luis de Hare and Philip IV. for Spain. Two hundred years later, in 1859, Na- poleon III, and Queen Isabella Of Spain caused to be erected there a stone monument bearing an Descrip- tion in French on one side and lei Spanish on the other commemorating tlre'liappy event of two centuries be- fore, Althoug thhe TWO appears to be partial to France, no international complications are expected to arise even it the island should cease to be an island, for it is of no importance, strategically or economically, and tbe monument will continue to mark the prevailing friendship between the peo- ple on both sides of the frontier, The first voyage..ofthe Graf Zeppe- lin started auspiciously enougb, With sixty-one persons aboard, including the eighteen passengers, and nearly a ton ot pay load in the Sorin of mail and goods, the Graf left Friedrichshafen on Oct. 11, 1928. She oruised slowly across Europe over France to the Mediterranean during the day and then hugged the coast line, crossing near Gibraltar to the African coast and then went out to sea, Weather to the north was not the best and The Eakener guided the big dirigible on a southerly route for the first 1,000 miles ot the ocean crossing. Everything went }yell until the Graf reached the vicinityv 05 Bermuda and startednorth toward Lakehurst. Then, caught in the grip 09 vertical air cur- rents, the Graf swung out et its paral- Iel plane almost to the perpendicular. Young Itnut 1;ekener, son of the corn - mender, was 'et the helm. In the cabins, passengers were tossed about as they never had been on a liner, Slowly the big ship responded, but the strain on the tall surfaces was too great. The fabric on the lower aide of the port fin ripped and the wind, getting inside, whipped up a small hurricane and tore eta way through the tipper side of the fin, rending scores et square yards of the heavy cotton elotb, In two hours, however, the agile sailors had cut away shreds from the big En and had bound the edges to the duralumin frame. They were swinging around up there over the water In violent wind and rain with every chance of falling and no chance of rescue if they had fallen. The airship reached land over the Virginia oast and carne north to dock at Lakehurst 111 hours and 88 min- utes after leaving E'riedrichs1a5en. On the way back Dr. Eelcener elected a northern route and _tollowed the Great Circle, The return trip was made in i 68 hours and 4.6 minutes. After circling San Francisco Bay the airship continued to Lo Angeles, com- pleting this 5,500 -mile leg in 78 hours 59 minutes,, Ilene several members 60 the crew left the airship to lighten the load across the high plateau re- gion of the Southern United States, Coming by way of Texas, she vasited 17i Paso, thou swung north over Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and ''Akron, arriving at Lakehurst the morning of Aug. 29, 'twenty-one days and a few hours after the start. It was a great achievement and the record stood until this Summer, wben Post and Gaily made .the trip in a little more than eigbt and a half days in an airplane. The return flight to Friedrichshafen was uneventful, the Graf completing it in 67 hours 0 min- utes. - Last year the dirigible made per- haps its most significant voyage when it flew with mail, goods and passen- gers from Friedriclislrafen to Pernam- buco, Brazil, 3n tour days. St contin- ued to Rio de Janiero and then turned north for Lakehurst, and after a refuel- ing stop, for which the navy charged at the rate of $2,000 a day, the wan- derer again sailed for home. The round trip was made in nineteen days. In tbat trip, which covered close to 10,000 miles, the airship stopped at ports in four countries, and, Dr, Eck- ener announced that an airship ser- vivo connecting Europe with the Soutb American markets on a three-day schedule was feasible. This scheme Is to be tried with three round trips fills year, according t0 Lufthansa plane, in wbich planes and airships will combine to speed the tra- velers and the air freight. , Bathing Popular in Vienna Vienna.—Vienna's craze for bathing, which grows every year, bas resulted this year in the opening of three night baths to accommodate workers who cannot leave work early enough to bathe before the regular establish- ments close. The number of daily swimmers on a fine day in olUcial swimming and river baths in Vienna averages 70,000, of whom 80,000 are children, who bathe free in the public parks where concrete swimming pools have been instituted by the mumici- gonnieMlifaelmentgwaiegsnegiennln pality.

This question, interesting iu view of the new Cunarder, the world's largest vossol, now under construction at Glasgow, is answered by a writer in The Journal et Commerce. He says the size of ships will bo limited to 5,000 feet but that if vessels 2,000 feet long were economically and scientifi- cally desirable shipbuilders would not hesitate to Construct them. Ile also considers the question of materials for future ships, suggesting that rustproof steel is practical tech- nically but the present price is pre- htbitive, Be says it may be put on the market by the year 2031 at a price making it esential for 5110 shipowner to insist on its use, "It wound render protective corn - Positions unnecessary,' the writer says, "and if its development should also include anti -fouling properties our manufacturers of bottom composi- tions for ships will have to look to an- other source for their revenue." Advances of science, with the de- velopment of wireless and television, may make it unnecessary to have any human agency aboard fighting ships in the future, he predicts. The next voyage of importance came in Marek, 1929, when the Graf Zeppelin, with a passenger list of 20, visited Palestine, flying down across Eastern Europe and Turkey to Asia Min&r and return, a distance of 4,968 miles, with everything working smoothly. Two months later came the second start for the United States as a preliminary to a world voyage. The start of the delayed voyage came on Avg. 8, and she made the westward passage to Lakehurst by the southern route in 93 hours, flying 5;185 miles. Three days wore spent in final preparations, and then the Grat Zeppelin' started on her record-break- ing trip around Ole world. That fourth Atlantic crossing was a record for air- ship travel that still stands -55 hours- 30 our-30 minutes to Friedrichshafen at an average speed of close to 100 miles' an hour. It was a great start for the world cruise ;and refueling and gassing were hastened at the home port, Aug, 14 she started for Tokyo, the longest leg of the world journey. The course lay north of Moscow, and to Viatka the airship followed the 60th Parallel. Then, entering Siberia, Dela ener elected a Great Circle course, cutting up as far as Lat. 68 and then down again over Man and Nikolais vslc and across to Tokyo, The dis- tance was 6,880 miles, wind the airship made it in 101 hours 50 minutes, ar- riving Aug. 19. Four days later tlio airship started for the United States, Following gen- erally the Great Circle course be- tween, the 40th and 50th parallels, elle made the Pacific crossing In 66 hours 12 minutes. between Tokyo and Sae '\.Francisco: "Men say that your husband is not a success," "I want you to understand that if he bad done nothing in, this world but to get me he • would be a suc- cess."

The dairy has been so successful, especially with its steam -made cheeses, that otbers are being built. The hospital Is to be built on a Modest scale with only thirty beds Patients suffering from king trouble have already used"' the hot springs with good results and if correspond- ing benefits are obtained' under full scientific control the sanatorium–will be enlarged, and no doubt others will be built. Hothouses are also being beated by the hot springs and all sorts of vege- tables have been grown throughout the year, so tbat Iceland' is likely to become agriculturally independent through the scientific use of her springs. Protected Areas of Prussia Prussia recently completed a cele- bration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of its organized nature protection system, says the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science. Reservation of na- tural "monuments," begun in 1906, has been carried out consistently until now there are more than 300 of such protected areas in Prussia, Some of them are very small, comprising many scores of square miles of heath or mountain top• More than half of the areas have been set aside primarily for their botanical interest, Twenty- four of the "monuments" were estab- lished for the protection of birds and animals, and there are a number 'whose importance 15 mainly geological, Jimmy—"Did Moses have dyspepsia like what we've got?"
