Mr. Jones said that the flight record was of secondary importance. . Calls Device Perfect. The real object of the trip was to test on a long flight our two new instruments, the earth inductor compass and the flight indifcator," said Mr. These Instruments have been Jones. In process of improvement and testing for about a year by the army aviation staff and they are now deemed satisfactorily perfect to be made for general use in the government aviation service. The only thing lacking is an appropriation to make them. The first 450 miles of the journey was above the clouds. That was Just what we wanted for the Instrument test so as to be cut off from landmarks, 6uch as rivers or railroads. We rose above the clouds at once after leaving Dayton. We practically did not see the land again until after crossing the Susquehanna river In Pennsylvania. The purpose of the flight indicator Is to show the pilot whether he Is on a level course. In making a perfect spiral or turn there Is no loss of balance, but It is difficult to tell whether the plane is skidding or slipping off of the true balance except under extreme conditions. The flight Indicator shows the pilot whether he Is on the or not. It Is worked on the gyroscopic principle, The Instrument Is about five Inches in height by 1 Inches wide and fixed to the dashboard.

Until now there has been satisfactory explanation for the phenomenon known as the aurora borealis or the northern lights. For a long time they were regarded as the spectra of a hypothetical gas, a tenuous mixture of hydrogen and helium, which was assumed to exist in the upper1 atmosphere. This gas was called geocoronium because the spectrum bore a close resemblance to the spectrum of the suns corona. In the winter of 1912 Lars Begard, professor of physics at the University of Christiania, made a special photographic investigation into the northern lights. He came to the conclusion that the pale blue and violet rays no true-bal-an- j , Answer All Kinds of Odd Questions were due to nitrogen that was being bombarded by electric rays emitted by the sun. But the spectrum also had a darker green line for which he was unable to account. About a year ago he again took up his investigations and received a subsidy from the Norwegian government which enabled him to carry out some very elaborate and expensive research. He succeeded In Identifying at least lines In the thirty out of thirty-fivspectrum as being due to nitrogen, so that the geocoronium theory could b' abandoned. He found that the green line reached Its greatest intensity nearest the earth, but its true nature remained a mystery. As he could not conceive that nitrogen gas of sufficient density could exist at such a height as to produce a luminosity so brilliant as the aurora borealis, he came 'to the conclusion that the nitrogen was not present in the form of a gas, but In the form of a fine dust made up of infinitesimally minute crystalline particles that were kept suspended by electric charges. The temperature one or two hundred miles above the surface of the earth approaches the absolute zero that Is to say 273 degrees C. In such a temperature tenuous nitrogen would condense into crystals such as those Imagined by Begard. e .After Every Meal Its the confection you can buy di- and Its a help to cleanser MOTORISTS PAYING gestion and athe mouth for FOR BETTER ROADS and teeth. .

President Illinois Highway Improvement Association.) It is a trite but true saying that the motor car is responsible for good roads as we know them In the year 1924 In the United States. There is no place in the country where this is more true than in Illinois. In the current year motorists will pay in license fees to the state alone approximately $10,000,000 for the maintenance and building of roads. Nearly every city in the state levies a wheel tax against motor vehicles. It is probably safe to say that the aggregate 1924 municipal wheel tax collected in Illinois will be $5,000,000. Thus the motorists of the state will pay approximately $15,000,000 this year for roads and streets. It is claimed by some experts In taxation that this is a special tax, and that the legislation responsible for It is class legislation. However that may be, it is an historic fact that organizations representing the motorists of the state were the first to propose and agree that such a tax should be levied, in order that the state might be saved from the terrible transportation conditions under which it labored until the modern businesslike method of road improvement was evolved. It has become a habit of some later day advocates of good roads to claim pioneership and to assert that whatever progress has been made in the state is due solely to their initiative and efforts. The transition which Illinois is now experiencing is due to a movement started by motorists and not by politicians, and is the natural outcome and continuation of a road building effort that was created more than a dozen years ago. It may be interesting at this time, therefore, to give a brief sketch of the good roads movement that has brought to Illinois many hundreds of miles of concrete and other permanent pavements in place of mud, sand and clay that were prevalent in the early part of the present century.

To find confirmation of his tentative assumptions, . Begard tried to reproduce artificially the conditions on which they were based. He went to Leyden and worked in the famous laboratory of the Dutch scientist, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, a winner of the Nobel prize, who In the year 1908 succeeded In liquefying helium at a 271.95 degrees O. temperature of Nitrogen freezes at 210 degrees C. With the help of liquid hydrogen Begard was able to reach this temperature, and produced a thin plate of solid nitrogen. He subjected this plate to cathode rays of varying swiftness, and found that with a certain swiftness the spectrum was identical with that of the northern lights. Even the green line, which may now be taken as characteristic of the solid nitrogen spectrum, was present It would therefore seem that the mystery of the northern lights has been longest-lastin- g Road and Ditch Machine.
