Captain Blood went to give his sur- geons ykill to the wouneied, amomg whom he ivmained engaged until late afternoon. Then he returned to the house of the Governor, to indite a very schelarly letter in purest Cae- tilian to Don Miguel. "I have ^.lK)wn your excellency this ir.. rning of what I am capable," he wrrte.

A runway of wood has been built about a thousand feet long and sixty feed wide., Hundreds of per- spiring ski jumpers now disports themselves In true Aplino fashion be- fore a crowd that wears the thinnest Summer clothing. This meterological anomaly la due to the Invention of an artificial "snow" by a British diplomat, L. C. Ayscough. Upon the runway of the Automobil- halle 200 tons of Ayscough's snow have been spread. Of the chemical composition of this mysterious su'o- stance nothing ts publicly known. It is a white powder which is mixed with shavngs and whch has all the prop- erties of natural snow, except that it all had been in readiness for depart- 1 ..g„o^.. jjow a compauy uirc, there wras nothing now to delay , f^j^med to build Summer them, and it was decided to move next morning. Such was C-apta.in Bloods assur- ance of success that he immediately freed thj prisoners held as hostages. His only precaution against those re- Icaeed prisoners was to order them into the church and there lock them up, to await delive-iranco at the hands of thcee who should presently be coming into the city. Then, all being aboard the three ships, with the treasure safely stowed in their holds, the buccaneers weighed anchcT and stood out for the bar, eacl^ vc6«el towin'g three piraguas astern. The Admiral, beholding their state- ly advance in the full light of moon, their sails gleaming white in the glare of tho sunlight, rubbed his long, lean hands in satisfaction, and laughed through his teeth. He turned to iss<ue orders, and the fort liecamo lively as a hive. The guns were manned, the gunners al- ready kindling fuses, when the buc- caneer fleet, whilst still hea^ng for With characteristic caution IJerlln commissioned the head of Its Munici- pal Health Bureau, Dr. von Drlgalskl, to make a medical and hygienic study of Ayscough's "snow."

Like i ordinary concrete, It Is composed of I cement and sand. Crushed Ice or I sow is used during the process of mix- ing. Heat evaporates the water of the melting ice, and the result is a block â- :< brick uniformly honeycombed wito minute pores. The number of pores varies dirtctly with »he quantity of Ice or enow mixed with the cement and sand. Building blocks thus made are ex- ceedingly light and durable. In a house or ofllce building of Ice concrete there Is a saving of weight varying from 20 to 50 per cent. Because they are cellular in stnicture, the blocks act as Insulators to keep out heat In Sum- mer and cold in Winter. It tee concrete Is made without sand the resultant product Is a tough compound that can be aawn, nailed.

I machine Is driven at Its maximum "They will be waiting for night," speed the twenty-ton rotor generates machines in open shops, and run them at high speed. Others lower the rotors into pits, cover them with steel beams and a heavy load of sandbags, and drive them hard. The newest of all these expedients is a kind of padded cell, which has been adopted by a famous British firm and which Is officially known as the "test bouse." It looks like an airship hangar. Its walls, "padded" with wood, steel, sandbags, air cush- ioning space and reinforced concrete, are nine and a half feet thick and built in accordance with the princi- ples that underlie the construction of a bombproof shelter on a battlefield. The door alone weighs seventeen tons. In this curious padded ceil rotors fourteen and a half feet in diameter and shafts forty feet long can be spun at peedo as high as 21,600 revolu- tions a minute. When the part to be tested Is mounted in position the door of the teot house is locked nd the ef- fect of high speed is watched vicari- ously with the aid of a formidable bat- tery of scientific instruments. There are dials, revolution counters, vlbra- graphs, oscilloscopes and fast maceras to show exactly what Is happening. The padded cell is of especial Im- portance In subjecting waterwheel al- ternators to overspeed tests. Such machines may be si)eeded up in actual practice 80 per cent, above what may be called the "normal maximum," wbeieupon stresses result that are three and onfrhalf times greater than those of full speed. • • • • Weather Maps for Fliers The flights across the Atlantic Ocean, notably that of Commander Byrd, have proved that the chief ob- stacle in the maintenance cf a regular airplane passenger service between America and Europe is meteorological. We must know more about the weath- er. Byrd postponed his taking off time and time again, only to plunge into a fog so dense that he could not see even the tips of his machine's wings, much less the blaze of lights in- tended to guide him to L* Bourget. Although nothing short of an Inter- national meteorological service (In which every ship on the ocean will piny its part- can solve the problem of future Byrds, the United States Weather Bureau Is already doing what It can to speed the planes through the air. The fliers who carry mall and passengers across the continent, and passengers from city to city, need guidance as much as do the pilots of transatlantic machines. Accordingly the Weather Bureau is now preparing maps to show the conditionB that pre- vail not only on the ground but also at different altitudes. Small free balloons are sent up from forty stations â€" balloons freighted with Instruments provided with pens to write down their impressions. Thus temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind velocity are recorded In a script that tho meteorologist can read. The instruments are sent up as high as tctn and fifteen miles. The records appear on the new weather map and show plainly enough what conditions prevail at 250, 500, 1,00, 2,000, 3.000 and 4.000 meters above the ground. In future the pilot of a ma- clilne that carries itassengers from New York to San Francisco will be guided on his way by half a dozen 8U?h niaps.euch good for a stretch of per- haps 800 miles.
