The Altitude Becord.
From the Ch'?***o Jonrnsl.
The alt'jude record 'or aeroplanes ha
climbed more than 6.000 feet during th
present year. At the beglnn ng of
the highest altitude reached bv an aern
plane was 12 000 feet The other day i
Frenchman-of course-drove his mono
plane to a height of 18,~?34 feet.
A sheer precipice of 1 000 feet from to
to bottom la very rare, and the men wh
can look over auch a precipice wlthou
qualms are still rarer. Vet here was i
man poised on a frail web of wood an*
wire and c'oth more than 18,000 fee
above the earth.
He was 4,000 feet higher than Pike"
Peak. He was more than five times a
high as El Capitan. the famous preci 1
tous cliff of the Yosemite. He was n ne
teen times as b'gh as the EifTel tower
He was 120 times as high as Niagara.

Reduces Battery Consumption. ]
One of the most important develop- i
men?s of the annual eonferen'ce of sales- .
men of the Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company. Just concluded, was the an- ;
nouncement of the psrfec ion of a tire
which would reduce battery consumption
per mile by at least 12 per cent. ,
The conference, which was a most enhusiastic
one, brought out many
points, but from the standpoint of the ;
electric car owner none was so im

Dedicating a Book.
Fmm th<> SprinrfMd RennMtem.
"A Well Known Author," as he modestly
describes himself, makes the handsome
proposal in an advertisement in the
London Times to "ded'cate an important
forthcom'ng book to any lady or gentleman
who w 11 lend him ?150 " The frivolous
suggest that he must .be a very
- green beginner to suppose that any on%
would pay out money for the honor of a
dedication; the cynical wonder if perhaps
the thing is sometimes done, though not
usually so well advertised. Will the dedl
cat on 01 eacn "imiioriwn iui uu uiumg
book" be scrut nlred for a wh'le by the
literary detectives? It Is possible, of
course, that th's is but a subtle ilrst step
in the artful booming of a forthoom n
book, important or otherwise, concerning
wh'ch fresh revelations will be made from
t me to time. But it la quite as likely to
be the little joke of some ironist?probably
not a nterary man or he would no:
have money to tnrow away for humorous
advertising in the Times. That the mere
: survest on of such a pecun ary arrangement
should stir such a ripple of amused
curlcsity shows how far away we have
rot from the old davs of patronage when
B Dryden. the greatest author of his age
could lend h s admirable sw'ft, neat pros*
p 1 to fulsome adulat'nns that today make
-1 any literary trail blush for his profession
? Dr. Johnson bettered Juvenal on the mis
a : erles of poets when he summed up the r
lot "To I, envy, want, the patron, and th?
Jail. The patron, at least, has been pretty
thoroughly eliminated No doubt hi.p
elim nation has nvolved some loss, speo
c ally for the support of works of scholt
arship and literary quality which do not
address a very large pubic. But an aua
thor who w'shes In these business! ke
t! days to sell or hypothecate a dedication
t ought to make sure that he has "the
sooda to del ver." Either he should be
s able to, guarantee a masterp'ece. or ht
should be ab'e to show as well buttered a
ulogy as Dryden had at the service of
s noble patrons Flattery Is an art In
self: oan a- twent'eth century 1'temry

SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS IS GIVEN J

Based on Actual Experience

it
t
An unb'ased analysis of the recent
iinerican Road Congress demonstrates
onclusively the fact that the congress tr
as not only the most notab'e event of
;s kind which has yet been held, but the
tore important fact that it inaugurated
lovements of far-reaching importance a
hich will go on long after the congress
as Dassed Into unml rn-ifla hlstnrv >
Excluding purely local attendance, the co
ittierlcan Road Congress was composed mi
f the largest assemblage of men which ou
as ever been held In the Interest of roai I
nprovement. The actual attendance
robably exceeded 2 000, but on account vt(
f the Inadequate reg stratlon facilities m;
lie actual registration was only a .out
;ioo. en
Th'rty-nlne states, as well as France,
anada, Cuba and the Phl'ip: ine Islands,
re re represented, thus Indicating the na- .
ional and even international importance
f the sub'ect and of the occasion. The ^,
lost striking feature, however, in connec- ot
on w.th the congress was not the numer
of delegates present or the number wj
f states represented, but rather the hig.i ou
/pe of citizenship and particularly the pu
igh percentage of public officials repremted
in the attendance. Twenty-four
late highway comm.ssioners toon part co
1 the proceedings of the congress and
ave'effective aid toward the dissemina- stl
on through the medium of the congress jn
f useful information concerning tne
lethods and pol cies pursued by their re- m<
pective departments. There were hun- ea
reds of city and county engineers, street pr
jj er ntendents, coun.y commissioners, a.,
rominent consulting engineers, con.rac- ui,
>rs and manufactuiers, whose experience hi)
n:l opinions were of the greatest poss b.e
alue to those who were present at tne
ongress and to those who will read the
roceedmgs long after the tongress adjurned.
Three New Forces Felt.
Three new forces made themselves felt th
i the deliberations of the congress, and hi;
hese were, the members of the bar, who fr
ave their attent-on to the important vii
nMlAn4 ?P Wftft^ a? ft a
U^jcvi ui luau icgisiauuii 111 U BCB&lUn m
ela under the ausp.ces of the Ameiican ph
tar Association; prominent Lankers rep- th
esenting many state bankers' as&Ovia- br
>uns, wno took upon themselves tne conIderation
of refo.ms in methods of financlg
road improvement, and the repre- ni
entatives of most of the leading educa- at
lonal institutions who assembled unner so
be auspices of the Society for tne Tro- Hp
lotion of Eng.ntering Education to con- b
ider ways ana means of improving the
ourses of instruction now given in high- th
,ay eng.neering. th
The exposition held in connection with or
he congress, under the auspices of the sil
lationai Association of Road Mach.nery ha
nd Material Manufacturers, was the hi
irgest ever held in this or any other
ountry. Two features of the exposition Pa
re particularly worthy of mention, first, sti
he superb government exhibit, made up th
i^rtjy of min.ature models exactly repro- ra
uc.ng all types of road from the Applan w<
iay down to" the maSt modern types ueI
fa
fgnfed to meet automobile traffic; stccnd, co
he-exhibits made by a number of the ye
tates g.ving all possible information re- ta
iLne to the rioids. the road m
he metnods of construction, traffic re^u- ar
nioji and other information of a similar *'<
haracter. W(
This was the first time in the history of mi
oad imp; ovement that the states were m
fficial exhibitors, and the plan has work- m
d so. well that at future congresses proo- m
biy every state in the Uriiop will be repesented

Results Are Far-Reaching'. mi
t 1 < v sti
The' results of this policy on the part be
?f the states will ,be far-reachiirig, as the co
oadbuitders from ?ach state are thus

PREPARE FOR ROAD I
BlliLDl CAMPAIGN
Pennsylvania Highway Com- I
mission Has Much Valuable
Data.
As a result o? a far-reaching investigation
which lias been going on tot the past h
year, the state highway commission of *1
the state of Pennsylvania is now in pos- h
session of valuable information on the t
EUbject of road construction. In prepa li
i a* ion for the launching of a comprohtn- r
sive and practical road building cam- ii
paign, following the expected approval of r
a iifty-miUion-dollar bond issue to finance t
the great work, the comm ssion has been t
testing out methods of construction and v
materials for road foundation, body and
top dt^ssing. o
T>ese researches in Pennsylvania have c
I xen more thorough than have ever >?e- #
'rtro hAAn no Ho hv a ci-nftot- itonartmonl !
Instead of uepending enti.eiy on la ora- e
tory tests and analyses, the policy has I
been to use the different methods and r
materials In actual construction of sec- a
t.ons of reals whc;re they would !>e sub- t
jected to various kinds of usage and t
wear. Thus the different types of road e
have been tested by actual use in farming a
and manufacturing districts, as well as j
for their resistance to the peculiar wear t
and tear of the ever-increas.ng automo-'t
b.lc travel. c
To Study Local Conditions. r
In this manner has been worked out
the best method for each locality in whieh
main state roads are to be bulit. and it
is believed that by use of the best adapt- !
ed materials, local supplies to be employ- 1
ed where feasible, the new highways will '
stand up under automob le traffic and at
the same t.me not present too hard a aur- f
face for farmers' teams. A lasting, dur- ii
able surface which will give the state ^
value for its money and at the same time
enable maintenance with a minimum of 1
repair expense has been the object. The d
time is rapidly- approaching when the use p
of the automobile will be geneial in hauling
farm produce, and in addition to providing
for general motor travel and '
horses, consideration has to be given to "
the heavy trucks which are coming into
use on farms. 8
Sentiment for the ratification of the
proposed 150,000,000 bond issue for roais ^
is growing rapidly in rural communit es v
as the benefits to be derived are becoming d
apparent. It is a notable fact that gooj h
toads are included in the platforms of t<
practically all the legislative candidates t
Those who are to be elected next month
will vote in the legis.ature next winter 1
on the resolution to submit the bond issue r
to the peo le of the. state. d
It is because the officers of the Penn- a

the automobile owners of the state, 1 avt r

Titanium. a

Titanium, hitherto regarded as a reia- n
ively unimportant constituent of the t<
arth's crust, is the ninth In abundance a
>f all the chemical elements. The tita- p
tium in the earth's crust is estimated to u
>e about four-tenths of 1 per cent. h
Perhaps the most successful prepara- u
ion of pure titanium Is that of Nilson "
ind Peterson, who reduce a titanium s
'hlorid witli sodium. The metal thus ob- lr
ained hooks just like polished steel, but d;
s brittle when cold, treated to a low, ei
ed heat. It can be forged like hot iron, a
jut if the temi'erature is carried too high "
he metal oxidizes superficially in con- tt
act with air. It can be pol.shed on a tc
jrinuslone. but it it too hard to be cut by in
i hack-saw. It can, however, be shaped ' ol
vith a tile. Rods of pure titan.um six el
nches long have been made. Analysts tl;
i.-.ows that the metal contains no impuri- w
ies. tc
