a diplomatic triumph ian maclaren in days of auld lang syne gives us an amusing account of an eld scotstnans diplomacy we read farms were held on lease in drum- tachty and according to a good old custom descended from father to son so that eomo of the fathers forbears bad been tenants as long as lord kil- pindies ancestors had been owners il happened also in our time that gor- uiack having quarreled with the fac tor about a feedingbyrc ho wanted built llung up his lease in ahaff and it was taken at an enormous increase by a guileless tradesman from muir town who had made his money by selling pigs crockery ware ami believed that agriculture came by in spiration optimists expected that his cash might last for two years but pes simists declared their belief that a year would see the end of the mer chants experiment and gormack watched the course ot events from a rented house at kildrummie jamie soutar used to give him a cry on his way to the station and brought him tho latest news its maybe juist as wcel that yo retired from business gormack for tho auld farms that spruced up ye wud hardly ken it was the same place the mer chant put ventilators intoo the fced- lngbyre and hes speakin ahoot glass windows toe keep the slots frao weary- in an as for inventions the place is fair scatted up wi them theres ane that took me awfu its for peelin the neeps tao mak them tasty for the cattle beasts yo had nao method man and a dlnna bcliovo yo had an inspection a tho years yo were at gormack noo tho merchant is up at haltilcht and goes over the whale steadin wi rob bie du flat his heels him at hos got for idle grieve an he tries the cor ners wi his handkerchief tao see that theres nao stour dust it would dao ye guid tao see his library the laist day i saw him he was readin a book on comparative agriculture afore his door and he explained hoo they grow the maizo in sooth amerlky it was vcrra interestin ave never go as muckle information frae ony farmer in drumtochty am gled ye cam in jamie was all gormack said for i was near takin this hoose on a threeyear lease ae yearll be eneuch noo am think- in with eighteen months of his re moval gormack was again in posses sion at tho old rent and with a rebate for the first year to compensate him for tho merchants improvements itll tak tho feck o twa years ho explain ed in the kirkyard tae bring the place roon an pit the auld face on it tho byres are nae better than a pair o fanners wi wind and it he hasna planted tho laigh field wi berry bush es an avo seen the barley fiftysix pund wecht in that very field its a doonricht sin tae abuse the land like yon but itll be a lesson ncebors an am no expectin anither pig merchant ill get a farm in drumtochty this incident raised gormack into a historical personage and invested him with an association of humor for the rest of his life so that when con versation languished at times some one would ask gormack what he had duno wi bis ventilations or boo the berry

arctic caps remark able record of world voyages by lauren d lyman in the n y times the graf zeppelin which recently has been nosing about in tho north polar regions although no longer a novelty is still on ot the marvels of this aeronautical age finished in september 1928 tho graf started on her career as a world rover the following month and since then has flown close to 125000 miles j has carried about 2000 passengers j and has returned many thousands of dollars in mail freight and passenger tariffs to her owners she cost about 800000 and although during her i eventful career she has triumphantly yindicated dr eckeners confidence in lighterthanair craft she has been close to disaster on two occasions once members of her own crew saved her and another time a detachment ot french soldiers hastily mustered as a ground crow went to her rescue in southern franco when propeller shafts j on several motors cracked at the start t of one of her six transatlantic voyages off to a good start the first voyage ot the graf zeppe lin started auspiciously enough with sixtyone persons aboard including the eighteen passengers and nearly a ton of pay load in the form of mail and goods the grat left friedrichshaten on oct 11 1928 sho cruised slowly across europo over franco to the mediterranean during the day and then hugged the coast line crossing near gibraltar to the african coast and then went out to sea weather to the north was not the best and dr eckener guided tho big dirigible on a southerly route for tho first 1000 miles of the ocean crossing everything went well until the graf reached the vicinity of bermuda and started north toward lakehurst then caught in tho grip ot vertical air cur rents the graf swung out of its paral lel piano almost to the perpendicular young knut eckener son of the com mander was at tho helm in the cabins passengers were tossed about as they never had been on a liner slowly the big ship responded but the strain on the tail surfaces was too great tho fabric on the lower side of the port fin ripped and tho wind getting inside whipped up a small hurricane and tore its way through the upper side of the fin rending scores of square yards of the heavy cotton cloth in two hours however tho agile sailors had cut away shreds from the big fin and had bound tho edges to the duralumin frame they were swinging around up thero over the water in violent wind and rain with overy chance of falling and no chance of rescue if they had fallen tho airship reached land over the virginia coast and came north to dock at lakehurst 111 hours and 38 min utes after leaving friedrichshaten on tho way back dr eckener elected a northern route and followed the great circle tho return trip was made in c8 hours and 4c minutes the noxt voyage of importance came in march 1929 when tho graf zeppelin with a passenger list of 20 visited palestine flying down across eastern europe and turkey to asia minor and return a distanco of 4968 miles with everything working smoothly two months later came the second start for the united states as a preliminary to a world voyage tho start of tho delayed voyago carao on aug 8 and sho mad tho westward passago to lakehurst by tho southern route in 93 hours flying 5185 miles thrco days wcro spent in final preparations and then tho graf zeppelin started on her recordbreak ing trip around the world that fourth atlantic crossing was a record for air ship travel that still stands 53 hours 30 minutes to friedrichshaten at an averago speed ot close to 100 miles pi hour it was n great start for tho world cruise and refueling and gassing were hastened at the homo port aug 14 sho started for tokyo tho longest leg of tho world journey tho course lay north of moscow and to viatka the airship followed the 60th parallel then entering siberia eck ener elected a great circle course cutting up as far as lat 63 and then down again over ajan and nikolaie- vsk and across to tokyo the dis tance was 6880 miles and the airship made it in 101 hours 50 minutes ar riving aug 19 four days later tho airship started for tho united states following gen erally the great circle courso be tween the 40lh and 50th parallels she made the pacific crossing in 66 hours 12 minutes between tokyo and san francisco aftor circling san francisco bay the airship continued to los angeles com pleting this 5500mile leg in 78 hours 59 minutes here several members ot the crew left the airship to lighten the load across the high plateau re gion of the southern united states coming by way of texas she visited el paso then swung north over chicago detroit cleveland and akron arriving at lakehurst the morning of aug 29 twentyone days and a few- hours after the start it was a great achievement and the record stood until this summer when post and gatty made tho trip in a littlo moro than eight and a half days in an airplane the return flight to friedriclishafcn was uneventful the graf completing it in 67 hours 9 min utes last year tho dirigible made per haps its most significant voyage when it flew with mail goods and passen gers from fricdrichshafen to pernam- buco brazil in tour days it contin ued to rio de janiero and then turned north for lakehurst and after a refuel ing stop for which the navy charged at the rate of 2000 a day the wan derer again sailed for home the round trip was made in nineteen days in that trip which covered close to 16000 miles the airship stopped at ports in four countries and dr eck- oncr announced that an airship ser vice connecting europe with the south american markets on a threeday schedule was feasible this scheme is to bo tried with three round trips this year according to lufthansa plans in which planes and airships will combine to speed the tra
