Show THE CITIZEN B AIRPLANE VIEWS OF ALASKA. In order that the phototopographlc views made in southeastern Alaska last summer by the ' navy department at the request of the Geological Survey may be available to the general public at as early a date as possible, arrangements have been recently entered into between the Geological Survey of the interior department and the forest service of the department of agriculture whereby prints of the pictures may be obtained at a small price. It should be distinctly understood, however, that several prints of adjacent areas can not be joined so as to form an undis-torte- d mosaicl Nearly 5,000 sets of exposures were made during the summer, each consisting of three parts a central picture which represents the ground directly under the airplane and two side pictures which represent adjoining areas on each side of the central picture. The central picture is taken with a camera pointed vertically downward, and the two side pictures are made at the same moment by two supplementary cameras directed obliquely to each side and fixed at a definite angle to the vertical. A set of three pictures thus taken represents an area of about 11 square miles when the plane flies at the preferred elevation of 10,000 feet, and the whole series covers practically all of southeastern Alaska except Bar-ano-f and Chicago islands. The series, however, is made up of pictures which are in part duplicates, for in order to use the pictures in constructing maps it is necessary to have each set of exposures overlap the area covered by the next preceding and following flights by a somewhat smaller amount. The middle picture is about 5 inches square. Direct contact prints of the oblique pictures of each set are of about the same size, but for use in making maps they are corrected or transformed so as to give them a uniform scale, that of the middle picture, and in this transformation their original rectangular form is changed so that they become wedge-shape- d and dimensions of four and five-eighths Inches on one side, eight and inches on the other, and inches. a length of eight and one-hal- f As stated above, however, successive sets of pictures can not be pasted together to give a continuous group that will join correctly. As rapidly as possible official sets of all the prints will be made, and one set will be placed on file for inspection in the district office of the forest service at Juneau, Alaska, and another in the office of the Alaskan branch of the Geological Survey, at Washington, D. G. More than one-hal-f of the prints now been completed, and it is have hoped to have the entire set ready by October 1. Orders for prints may be made by number from these file sets. Those to whom these file sets are not readily accessible may request from the forest service, Washington, D. C., a copy of an index map which shows the location of the area covered by each photograph or may forward orders specifying the location of the precise tract of which photographs are desired, the name of the island on which the tract is located, and the size of the tract. Some delay will occur in filling personal orders for prints, as precedence will be given to the preparation of prints required for official purposes. All orders should be addressed to the Forest Service, Washington, D. C., and accompanied by a money order of the proper amount to pay for the prints. The price for each group of there pictures is $1 if unmounted, or $1.40 if mounted. have one-quart- er MECHANICAL tured by the Western Electric pany. This mechanical detective was exhibited for the first time at a recent meeting of the New York Electrical Society when robbery was planned, committed and solved, all within the space of one hour and in the presence of fully 1,000 witnesses. Dr. A. P. Link, instructor in psychology at New York University, was the master mind who plotted the crime. Three students were chosen to commit the crime and, in accordance with their instructions, they went to a house and took a $10 bill when an armed policeman suddenly appeared. The students not having been notified that the policeman was to be a party to the plot, thus experienced all the sensations of real robbers. They were brought back to the audience, where Dr. Link gave them a third degree. By means of the mechanical detective or electrical stethoscope, the instrument devised by the telephone engineers, the heart beats of the students were made as audible as the beating of tomtoms, and by other apparatus the action of the sweat glands in the palms of the hands was shown by the flickerings of a tiny light on the wall.
