Dr. Lasker states that Michel-sen is anxioua to hear from his brother. That in 1900 he believed be lived in Chicago.

We have just received from our friend, Arthur Hale, an interesting and instructive game recently played' by correspondence Mr. Hale, who has made for many years a study of the French" Defense, states that after the opening moves had been played in this game, both players found they were following the game Marco vs. Smith played in the London tournament of 1S99, the first twenty moves being given. in Cook's Synopsis and, in Morgan's Chess McClure then offered Black: the choice of, any or all of the twenty moves in question and Black accepted 'the variation up to the thirteenth move, when he continued with 13 Kt-Kt5. in place of R-9B sq.

as played by Smith. He later discovered that this move had been suggested by Hoffer twenty years ago, and that practically the same game was played by Tarrasch vs. Schiffers for twelve moves, Tarrasch, however, con tinuing -for his thirteenth move P-QKt3 in place of Kt-B3. FRKNCn DEFENSE The December' number of the British Chess Magazine has just been received and we note with deepest regret on Page 405 "Valedictory' by Isaac M. Brown.

Mr. Brown, who has been the editor of the most successful chess magazine in the English language, an nounces that the present is the last number. The magazine has been issued for thirty-nine years, and since 1888 Mr. Brown has managed, financed and controlled its publication, and since 1893 also fulfilled the duties of editor-in-chief. need not comment his success and ability in this work.

Nearly every new innovation of the gam. and interesting analysis thereof have appeared in this work, so that the reader felt that he was up to date not only on the news of, the game throughout the world, but on the various new innovations and also bad before him an exceedingly well edited problem and end game department. Mr. Brown states that having passed the sixty-first milestone, that circumstances beyond his control have made it impossible for him to continue longer to produce the British-Chess Magazine, upon which he has so enthusiastically worked for thirty-one. years.

He states that the workjias given him unalloyed pleasure and has brought him friends from every continent. That he only wishes he were able to meet every friend and contributor and express in person the pleasure and high esteem for the help and co-operation whioh they have so enthusiastically supplied for many years. We certainly feel and are sure that our many readers will join with -us that we are parting from an old and tried friend. We note a most interesting simultaneous chess exhibition given by J. It.

Capablanca at the House of Commons, England. There were forty-three entries, but only thirty-eight opponents appeared when time was called. Capablanca won 36 and drew 2 games. Mr. Bonar Law was an interested spectator.

The players obtaining drawn games were Sir Watson Rutherford and Mr. A. Strouss. Sir Samuel Roberts also at one time had a chance of winning, having a Rook and five Pawns against the Cuban's Knight and five Pawns, but unfortunately made a slip in the ending. This is the first simultaneous chess exhibition ever given in the House of Commons and in view" of the fact that the House in many ways is the most exclusive assembly in the world, the fact that the great Cuban player was invited to give the exhibition was a marked compliment not only to the player and his ability, but also to the game of chess.

Warm Bath ares Wheat of Smat It was discovered some time ago by a Norwegian scientist that a warm bath would cure wheat of -the "smut" which has been for' years the means of kecninr down the crop in some. sections but the difficulty was the process of treating the grain in this manner which was very slow. Nevertheless Russet G.

East, of Shelby county, undertook to give his seed wheat this treatment some time ago and the. result was that his crop was clear of smut when that of his neighbors was almost ruined. This demonstration was so effective that he was called upon to' clean the wheat of some of his neighbors and realizing that the work would be very tedious unless some new methods was evolved he set about to make thes improve ments. The pots and kettles of the old were discarded for the new process with its cylindrical drum of galvanized metal, a chain hoint and track, a wooden tank, and steampiped in from traction engine. The screencovered drum holds five bushels and ia rotated by means of a chain and sprockets.

With East's mechanium a hundred bushels can be treated in a single day whereas four was the limit of the method as introduced by the bcandina- When a farmer brings to East wheat which he wishes purified, the filled sacks are dumped into tanks of cold water and left there four hours. Then the groin is dumped into the cylinder which is revolved in a large wooden tank for one minute In water with a temperature of 120 degrees. The cylinder is then withdrawn while steam Is let in and the temperature of the water pushed up to 12H degrees; this warmth is maintained while the wheat takes a second bath ten minutes in The grain is spread on a cement floor to dry as the farmers rarely wait for it to drv thoroughly. The swollen condition of the aeed accessi-tates the use of the oats aide of the drill so the proper amount will be placed in the soil. This central wheat-treating atation In the Hamilton garage at Indiana, is the first of Us kind in the United States.

The Department of Agriculture at. Washington speedily learned of East's accomplishment, sent investigators and obtained all the information available. Stations are now being established hi all the when ro-ducing nection of the country. The formaldehyde treatment, familiar to many farmers, Is effective egalnst stinking smut but loose smut which spoils the inside or interior of the grain and makes it unfit for flour cannot be killed unless the hot water method is employed. East's device, superior to anv ever used, gives the world more food and the growers more dollars.

THE use of cement has been found to be a solution of the pest of salt water organisms which abound particularly on the Pacific Coast, where the piling and other wooden structures -in the 'water must be constantly renewed to prevent disaster. The attacks all timber standing in the water and once these worms have started in, it is not long before the wood is honeycombed with holes it has been reduced to a mere shell and it then crumbles under the weight of its burden. The material is applied in this instance with the use of what is called1 a gun, for the reason that the composition is squirted into place in under power.

The necessary plant was assembled for this work on a train of railroad cars. Fiirst the bin for the sand and the sacks of cement; then the boxed-hv motor for the mixer; further on the cement-gun itself. The second car contains the motor-driven air-compressor and fresh-water reservoir and water-pressure It takes about eight men to handle the outfit, including the motorman and conductor of the train. The motor-man handles the and the conductor operates the cement-gun. The mixture is placed in the upper cylinder of the gun, the valve closed, air let into the cylinder valve open to the lower cylinder, and the mixture drops into this cylinder by gravity, the valve again being closed, and it is then fed into the hose at twenty-eight pounds pressure by a small air-motor.

It is interesting to know that the hose is made with a soft rubber lining fend will expand, but shows no erosion from the sharp sand which is forced through in dry form. The other hose carries the water to the nozzle at a pressure of thirty-eight pounds and the two aie mixed at the nozzle. The theory is that the cement and sand mixture strikes the pile first and is driven in under pressure, and as the other particles of cement and sand are -forced on top -of this, driven in further with a certain rebounding action of the sand, which loses about 25 per cent, of it, none of the cement, however, being wasted. The mixture can be brought up very rapidly, and it is claimed by the makers that a flat surface seven by ten feet can be covered by two inches of cement in an hour. In using it in this way it is advisable to use some sort of reinforcing, such as metal or chicken wire.

In guniting the piles the material varying in thickness from a heavy coat of paint to inches, depending upon the condition of the pile itself. Where there were any large holes in the piling which had been eaten out by the Limnoria, chicken wire reinforcement was tacked on and the piling brought up to its original size. All piling has also been treated to a point, just above the high-water or as high as the piling has been affected. -v Pevelopments Cement is in of of an a in of yt M4 100 Prizes This Picture Represents Different Kinds of Bags ANSWERS AND AWARDS The correct answers to Articles made of Canvas Puzzle are: 1 AWNINGS 2 SAILS 3 CLOVES 4 TENTS 5 SHOES -BOATS WINNERS Hundred very nice Note Books have been awarded to the following: Ayers, Hilborn Abele, Edwin Anchter, Charles B. for Locomotive it is now possible to take the matter up and study it on a scientific basis, with a promise of substantial improvement.

The importance of the front wind-pressure on the engine is not fully appreciated. The horsepower required to overcome it increases with the cube, not merely of the speed of the train, but with that of what is Called the "created wind," which in the case of an express train may easily exceed eighty miles per hour. It will be readily understood without entering mto calculation that the speed of the created wind creeps up as the strength of the natural wind increases, and that eighty miles per hour is quite a moderate figure to take Rounded Front for Locomotives for it, while the demand for power runs up (sharply) with any increase of speed. We now know fairly well what is i the best shape for a body which is to be driven through the air at speeds of the order under consideration. The front should be quite "bluff," a sharp- ly conical or wedge-shaped not being at all the ideal to be aimed at.

What is required is to eliminate every square inch of transverse flat surface that can possibly be dispensed with, smoothing off projections and putting in gentle curves parallel to the natural flow of the air. DECLINE OF THE KARM HORSES Suppose that there were, say, farm tractors in operation in our country at the beginning of the present year, That would mean 'that otoO.OOO farm horses had been turned out to grass. Add this number to tractor power to be turned out this year, and we have 3,740,000, which will represent the number of 1 farm horses put out of commission in the three years ending December 31, 1919. f1 now it I I ft 1 Jll Cjs4 acv No.l This picture represents some kind of a dealer.

J. i-l of Concrete Piling Which At eighty miles an hour a railroad train expends three horsepower for every square foot of exposed surface that directly opposes the wind.

This is supposing that the train moves through still air. If a wind opposes it the expenditure is much greater. The magnitude of the resistance opposed by the air to bodies moving very awiftly through it has been realized only of late years, and designers have only just begun to act on the knowledge that this resistance depends on shape. In theory, at all events, a perfect "stream-line" body should experience no resistance, except that due to akin friction, says C. F.

Dendy Mar-shall in an article quoted from The Engineer by Engineering and Contract- in8: -i It is obviously impossible to approximate at all to a stream-line form in the case of a train, but that is no Reason for going to the other extreme, and utterly ignoring the question of Little has been done to try and im-orove matters, except that about twenty-five years ago, on the western Railway. Drummond made some of his smoke-box doors conical in shape, a plan followed on some continental railways, and that on the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean, a wedge-formation with the same object appears to have been aimed at. Neither of these efforts met with practical success, the theory of the air-resistance to bodies moving through it being comparatively undeveloped, and the necessary experimental data lacking. The cone of the smoke-box door took the place of a flattened hemisphere of comparatively quiescent air, ordinary door. So far as it may have encroached beyond that, it must have intensified the pressure on the outer part of the front.

With regard to the French engine, merely substituting sloping surfaces for upright ones is expedient that is of rather problematical value, and one which, under certain conditions of wind and speed, has the effect of. increasing the side pressure on the rail. Thanks to the work which has been ilone in connection with aeronautics, DISCARDING THE DIRIGIBLE The statement has been made that the British Government has abandoned all work on rigid aiianips and that the ships, stores and stations on hand will be disposed of to private parties who siay be interested in the development of these huge vessels of the air for 'commercial purposes. While there are imaxt7 persons and firms who are interested the improvement of the craft this nature and that the work of development will in all probability it is sure that that this withdrawal of State assistance will be a jad blow to the big dirigible. i Treating Piling With an Overcoat So far the work appears to be per manent after having set for about seven days, and it is "almost impossible to break off the thinnest concrete coat with a hammer, and then only after continuous pounding.

This gunite absolutely impervious to water and differs from concrete in density, every void having been filled. The length of time necessary to treat each pile varies very considerably on account of the length and condition of the piles. The best record was the treating of seventy-two piles seventy-five minutes, although these were the shorter piling and least affected. If this work should prove successful every dollar spent will be worth many dollars to the company, and the life "the trestle will be increased from 400 to 500 per and possibly more than that. The same principle is made use in the application of stucco, but the apparatus for this work is much simpler than- that required for the treatment piling.

This device consists of electrically driven fan or impeller wheel which receives mixed stucco from a feed hopper and projects it with considerable -force against the surface to be coated. The entire machine weighs only about thirty pounds, and in use is slung over the operator's shoulder exactly as a musician carries drum. A spring in the support, however, enables the operator to easily change the elevation of the machine through small distances to suit the requirements of the work in hand. This machine is particularly useful applying stucco to either new or old frame buildings, putting a protective coat: upon brick or stone walls or buildings, coating brattices with cement and thus rendering them airtight, waterproofing the surface of dams or reservoir walls, and similar operations requiring a dense covering stucco or cement. In such work filing and finishing coats, also pebble- I SAMPLES OF MACHINE APPLIED STUCCO dash coats, may be applied with equal Itice.

From '300 to 450 square feet of ease. If smooth surfaces are desired, surface should be covered per nur the rough eoats given by the machine with stucco fronj 4 mch thick may be troweled as in ordinary prac-. with one of these machines. v- Longest Ships in the World The stay of the battle cruiser Re nown in our waters, says the Scientific American, has raised a discussion as to which, are the longest ships afloat Leviathan, 950 feet long, is the longest with the Imperator and the Aquitania, each 900 feet long, of the Cunard Line, I coming next.
