that would have cer tain unique properties this struct ure he termed a seadrome the in ventor saw in a floating vessel that remained steady without and tend ency to roll or pitch whatever the state of the sea a number of im portant uses in this article i am going to deal solely with the possibilities of such a structure with regard to floating airports and in particular those that have been designed by the in ventor for use on the north atlan tic airway for some years we have heard of the idea of floating islands across the atlantic on which aircraft could land to refuel an thus over come the otherwise insuperable dif ficulty of bridging the atlantic and at the same time carrying an economic payload many pilots have proved that the atlantic can be crossed but to do this they have had to carry such a huge load of petrol that there was no room for anything else indeed it is generally considered that a range of 500 miles is about the limit for an airliner running a commercial service the idea of a string of floating airports at intervals of 450 miles across the atlantic would therefore solve this difficulty provided that these airports were possible from an aeronautical marine and econo mic viewpoint i personally always regarded this idea as fantastic until i was given the opportunity of studying the claims of the seadrome in detail the result of the preliminary in vestigations of the past few weeks that i have carried out with the assistance of the official represen tative of the seadrome ocean dock corporation of america leaves no doubt in my mind that 24hour londonnew york service is cap able of immediate operation from every point of view t c the suggested scheme is to moor five seadromes at 450mile inter vals along the 38th parallel of lati tude these seadromes consist of a flight deck 1500 feet in length and 300 feet in width supported on s2 streamline telescopic pillars 103 feet above sea level when in position these pillars are sunk to a depth of 208 feet below the surface and ballast and bouy- ancy tar are so arranged in them that the centres of bouyancy and gravity of the whole seadrome structure are well below the agi tated surface of the sea the sea drome is therefore at all times floating in suspension in still water the supporting pillars are of such size construction and shape that they offer practically no resistance to waves and so do not bar their passage no energy is therefore released from the waves to be absorbed by the pillars as impact force the prospect of the seadrome be ing damaged by a storm as so often happens to atlantic liners need not therefore be considered the liner is floating in the agitated water is constantly breaking waves and thus absorbing their energy the sea drome is floating in suspension be neath this agitated surface and the waves pass through the pillars un disturbed as they do through those of a seaside pier i have seen films depicting the official experiments with models of the seadrome in one of the united states navy dockyard basins the claims of the inventor with regard to the unique stability of the sea drome in stormy weather were here justified in every way i saw on model about 15 feet long alongside one of the majestic to the same scale the manufac tured waves were of such a size that the majestic was shipping them over her funnels it would have been impossible for her to have survived sucn a storm in real life throughout the demonstration how ever no movement could be detectd in the seadrome i saw another model which was over 30 feet high being subjected to waves coming from all angles off the walls of the basin alongside was a gentleman in a row ing boat having an acutely uncom fortable time but the seadrome re mained quite steady meet to discuss potato

per cent j of the canadian production was so report of meeting at ottawa us h a report of the discussion is be- to be issued tion to be carried on investiga- these experiments led the united states navy department to satisfy themselves entirely with regard to the stability of the seadrome in the j gcotia and prii roughest of atlantic storms and departments of this stability makes in itself the problem of anchoring the structure much easier the chief difficulty with regard to the anchoring of ships in storm conditions lies in their movements produced by wind and waves this problem does not arise in the case of a seadrome as it remains per fectly steady there were other problems involved in mooring a 00000ton structure in three or four miles depth of water but all of them have been overcome only the briefest of descriptions can be made in this article but let me add weight to them by saying that the united states navy de partment has given its unqualified approval to the practicability of the whole system the anchor is of a novel type designed for the great depth that it will lie and for the nature of the bottom that it will encounter it has a rounded top and a flat bot- om and weighs 1500 tons special bouyancy chambers enable it to be floated to the desired position where seacocks are opened electrically and the anchor sinks to the bottom its speed is cheeked by means of water brakes and the landing shock should not exceed 15 percent of the anchors weight the cable to be used it of the type used on suspension bridges this is because the stoutest chain cable ever made would break from its own weight at a depth of 13000 feet the suspension type cables have ample strength for them to reach a theoretical depth of 00000 feet before breaking this cable is to be attached to the seadrome struc ture buoy which in turn is at tached to the seadrome itself there is therefore never a direct pull on the anchor in the worst conditions of wind and tide ever known on the route to be used the maximum pull by the seadrome will bo 100000 lbs the mooring system is designed to with stand a pull of six times this and in addition the seadrome has motors that can relieve the strain if ever necessary on each seadrome will be accom modation for a crew of 43- and an hotel for 500 passengers by day and 100 by night full meteorological wireless and workshop

a conference of representatives of the national research council the dominion denartments of agri culture and trade and commerce the ontario new brunswick nova uie edward island agriculture the canadian horticultural council and the principal potato growers of the maritime province was held ir ot tawa on december 16th to discuss ways and means for using the sur plus of over 7400000 bushels of potatoes on hand this year the 1931 potato crop in canada is placed at 78735000 bushels an increase of 704000 bushels over the production in 1933 the princi pal export markets for canadian potatoes are the united states and cuba but liislt tariffs and other handicaps recently imposed pre vent the normal movement of the canadian product to those coun tries another factor that aggra vates the situation is the gradual de cline in the per capita consumption of potatoes iu canada which is now about four bushels per year in the united states it is only about two and onehalf bushels per person on the agenda of the conference for discussion were new uses for canadian potatoes suchas for con fectioners glucose grape sugar syrup starch potato flour and pota to chips and sucl nonedible products ns laundry starch dextrine glue gum alchol and in making foundry moulds other means of disposing of this surplus are the preservation and canning of potatoes the use of potatoes as food for live stock the possibilities of extending the market for canadian seed potatoes market possibilities both foreign and dom estic for commercial grades pro blems of transportation and the pos sibilities of increasing consumption of potatoes by advertising it was recommended that the chairman of the conference dr h m tory president of the national research council appoint a com mittee consisting of representatives of departments of the dominion government to draw up a research programme on new uses of potatoes the preservation and canning of po tatoes and food values generally including particularly the food va lue of potatoes and the claims made in advertising for various foods and diets it was stated that such a programme of research might be undertaken jointly by tho dominion department of agriculture the de partment of pensions and national health food and drug laboratory and the national research coun cil it was stated that certain of the investigations projected held out definite promise of valuable re- suits potatoes it was said could be substituted for corn now import ed in manufacturing millions of pounds of a variety of food pro ducts dr v gallay of the na tional research council said bis calculations showed that tho entire present canadian potato surplus might be so used the possibility of using potatoes for the manufac- j lure of alcohol was discounted if the alcohol so produced was to be used with gasoline it was stated that the price of the mixture would bo approximately three cents above the present market price of gasoline if 10 p c alcohol were used and would require compulsory legisla tion such compulsory legislation was in effect in other countries in eluding germany and kia ing prepared to serve as the basis of further discussion a program me of research and investigation is to be carried on insect enemies of canads forests damage is estimated at s 1 0000000 annually there is reason to believe that the average annual damage to the forests of canada caused by in sects may approximate in value that caused by lire which averages nearly 10000000 annually said r d craig in a paper read at one of the sessions of the conference of officers of the dominion entomo logical branch dominion depart ment of agriculture held recently in ottawa mr craigs paper was entitled the forest resources of canada their protection against insect pests continuing he said that the loss to the forest wealth caused by in sect pests constitutes a most se rious drain on one of the most val uable of the dominions natural re sources the extent to which in sects can carry on their work of destruction is not readily realized by the forest authorities nor by those engaged in the forest indus tries he emphasized the econo mic value of the work of entomo logists and said that in his opinion the introduction of parasites as a means of biological control is pro ving one of the most effective means of direct attack and main tained that great credit is due to the dominion entomological branch for what has been done in this field fungi is also another cause of great loss in the- forests the forests of canada cover 1- 150000 square miles or about one- third of the total land area of the country the stand of merchant able timber is estimated at 105- 880000 cubic feet valued at sl- 089000000 the young growth is placed at 100000000 cubic feet from the standpoint of forest eco nomy it is most important to pro tect the young stands of trees from insects fungi and fire the three principal causes of loss for the fu ture of the forest industries de pends on these young trees about 82 per cent of the accessible timber of commercial size is coniferous trees 11 per cent is intolerant hard woods white birch and
