REVEALS HEIGHT OF CLOUDS Apparitus of immense Help to Avia- tors That Are Compelied to Fly at Night, In Europe, where aviation is fur- ther developed in a commercial way than in this country, there is con- siderable night flying and to the avia- tor at night it is important to know the height of the clouds in his vicin- | ity. A plan has been devised te as- certain this and it is proposed to in- stall the instrument at each of the | important wireless stations aleng established flying routes so that the airman may be informed of the cloud conditions as he passes these | stations. | The apparatus consists primerily of a theodolite and a searchlight sta- tioned at some distance apart, the distance being accurately ascertained by measurement. The telescope of the theodolite is fitted with an indi- | cator which instantly reveals the | angle at which it is directed and with this information coupled with | that of the distance between the | theodolite and the searchlight, the beam of which is directed at the cloud, it is a simple matter to arrive at the height of the latter. There are several night expresses making regular trips in different parts of Europe. SOON To BE EXTINCT RACE Aboriginal Inhabitants of the West in- dies Succumb Before the March of “Civilization.” The Caribe, the aboriginal inhab- itants of the West Indies, once ex- ceedingly numerous, are now virtual- ly extinct as an ethnic group. At present there are practically no pure- strain Carifs in the islands except in Dominica. This is chiefly due to the treatment which the native pop- ulation received at the hands of the Spanish, and the later persecutions and abuses by the early French. The slave trade began in the islands soon after the coming of Columbus. The chief deities among the na- tives were good and bad spirits, and they also worshiped the sun, moon and stars. The Pee-ay-man, a kind of sorcerer, was the medicine man of the tribe, and he affected his cure? by invoking the good spirit of some bird or animal, meanwhile making diabolical noises and shaking the “shac-shac,” a small calabash, emptied of its contents and filled with hard seeds and provided with a handle. The dead were not buried, but inclosed in a hammock and sus- pended between two forest trees, BLONDIN’S FEAT AMAZED The report that a young English- woman, Elizabeth Yelding, will at- tempt to cross Niagara river on a tight rope, quite naturally recalls Charlés Blondin, whose name was a NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. 22-5 household word 70 years ago. Blon- din, or rather Jean Francois Grave- let, visited the United States in 1855 and amazed and scared the American public by stretching a tightrope across Niagara river below the falls and then walking across it. No sooner was the news of this daring feat known throughout the country—news traveled very slowly in 1855—than Blondin became the hero of the hour, He liked America and came again, in 1859, and once more in 1860, and people traveled long distances in many varieties of conveyances to see him risk his life. LARGEST ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE The largest electric locomotive of its class in the world was recently installed in the Rosedale mine of a | steel company near Johnstown, Pa. This “mule,” which runs by electric power, weighs thirty-five tons, has three eighty-horsepower Westing- house motors and is guaranteed not to balk. ELECTRICITY IN PHILIPPINES In the homes of Tacloban, on the little Philippine island of Layte, the electrical idea shines brightly every night, for most of these homes are | electrically lighted, and the town, with a population of 12,000, has its electric light and power plant, with three 2214 kilowatt generators. The streets are bright at night. RETURN TO GASOLINE Early in 1921 one-half of the au- tomobiles in Pernambuco, Brazil, were using alcohol as fuel. Today 90 per cent of these cars have re- turned to gasoline. The various ob- jections recorded against alcoho! can be removed, it is said, by using spe- eially —" motors and by “other m0 Sore e Department of the Interior, U. S.
