STAMP CU! `'DRAMA of STAMPS" WEDNESDAYS AT C WIRE ROPE li% MILES LONG Two special steel ropes, each over 1144 miles long and about two inches in diameter, have been made in Bri- tain for a winding hoist at the Cham- pion Reef Mine in the famous Kolar Goldfield, Mysore, Southern India. Although the maximum load hoist- ed by each is about '25 tons, the guar- anteed breaking strain for each rape is about 150 tons. The ropes are for the primary ver- tical shaft, known as the Giffolti Sbaft, 6056 'feet deep, part of a big expansion scheme for which addition• al capital of $10,000,000 was raised in 1938 for deepening the math shaft and installing new plant and equip- ment which will give India the die tinction of having the world's deep- est vertical shaft. The consulting engineers who evolved the scheme are a Landolt firm and the manufacturers of the ropes supplied salvage rope for lift- ing the German fleet. at Scapa Flow, as well as the mooring ropes for the "Queen Mary" and "Queen Eliza- beth." The ropes for the Champion Reef Mine each weigh 201/4 tons and will cost $15,000. They will be installed about April, 1940. AIR PILOTS' "ROBOT" Dublin's new 920,000,000 airport at Oollinstown is being fitted with a no- vel type of landing direction indica- tor which cleverly disregards sudden gusts of wind but clearly tells pilots the average wind direction, Designed and made by a British firm the "robot" indicator will be the first 00 its' type In any aerodrome 1u tele world. The position of its main vane alters only when a definite change of wind direction takes place and is maintained for a given period of seconds. It is capable of remote control and remote indication. The officer in the control tower can "see which way the wind is blowing" by merely glancing at a repeater on his desk, and can also, it neceasary, switch over the controls from automatic to manual. In the manual position the indica- tor can be rotated into any position and kept there. On switching back to automatic control the indicates' will immediately take up correct position according to the average wind direc- tion. Other equipment for guidance of aircraft includes a mile -long lin of contact lights, let into the ground, to assist aircraft to land in foggy weather. The new airport will not be com- pleled before next spring, but it is expected that a limited use will be made of itthis winter. There are inn acres of landing area, but 700 steres have been acquired foe future erxten- 5ion. "EYES" OF THE WAR Britain is now stilt' -supporting in the production of the finest optical glass.

In other words, the men elect- ed this year, be they good ar bad. will remuin in office until Premier Hepburn allows us our tight as Brit - left subjects. to use the franchise to oust them from office. If we get Wren •'Phis achievement is the result of 21 years intensive research and exp- eriment in producing the different varieties of optical glass, some of which are used in combination to make up tenses used in the highest. grade instruments. "In 1914 many foreign instruments were being used in the services, but to -day the equipment is 100 per cent Ilritish," said Mr. T..1. Offer, of the Scientific! Instrument Manufacturers' .Association of Great Britain, in an interview, "This optical glass is used for periscopes, telescopes, binoculars, aerial photographic lenses, rauge- finders, gut sights, snipers' sights. antimh'cn'aft sights, and a hunched other instruments. -British firms are meeting all re- quirements for the re -armament pro- gramme. The tests to which the in- struments are subjected are very stringent, and they have passed then, most successfully."

RATEPAYER Ontario Potato Crop A retort crop of potatoes was har- vested in Ontario for the second sue- cessive year. Total production is now estimated at 7.201,500 cwt. as compared with 77.428,700 cwt. in 1938, and 10,130.500 cwt, in 1937. The yield per acre obtained this season was 50,7 cwt. as compared with 50.S cwt, a year ago, but the acreage showed n reduction of 4,1(11, acres- The late crop started well and made good progress during the first two months. During August and September, drought, high temperatures, and leaf hoppers adversely affected the plants causing Immature ripening and a be- low average yielel. Early in Septem- ber some frosts and late blight Trilled the plants in several districts, It was feared at the time that tuber rot. would he serials, hat bright dry weather for the succeeding two weeks prevented serious rot develop- ment. The small 1938 crop was well cleared at the time that the early 19,9 crop arrived on the market, and with the below average production this year potatoes moved freely, and both the early and intermediate crops were teemed when the late crap WVES ready for harvesting. Prices in Sept- ember remained attractive and as a c'onsequenee a considerable portion of the late trop was marketed earlier than usual. The quality is much bet- ter than In 1938. There is a brisk de- mand for seed potatoes and many growers are purchasing their require- ments new. The United ST.ate_. crop is below that cif 11061, and the In -year average. The pt'airie Provinces and the Mari- times 10155' smaller crops than in 193s, and export demand is good.
