Show All words of one syllable ending in /, with a double vowel before it, have only one I at the close as mail, sail. The words foretell, distill, instill and fulfill retain the double 11 of their primitives. Derivatives of dull, skill, will and full also retain the double 11 when the accent falls on these words; as dullness, skillful, willful, fullness. Words of more than one syllable ending in I have only one I at the close; as delightful, faithful; unless the accent falls on the last syllable; as in befall, etc. Words ending in I, double that letter in the termination ly. Participles ending in ing, from verbs ending in e, lose the final e; as have, having; make, making, etc.; but verbs ending in ee retain both; see, seeing. Dye, to color, and singe, to scorch, however must retain the e before ing. All adverbs ending in ly and nouns ending in ment retain the e final of the primitives, as brave, bravely; refine, refinement; except words ending in ge; as judge, judgment. Nouns ending in y, preceded by a vowel form their plural by adding s; as money, moneys; but if y is preceded by a consonant, it is changed to ies in the plural; as bounty, bounties. Words whose primitives end in y change the y into v as beauty, beautiful. AEROPLANE NUMBERS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE The numbers of an aeroplane appear on the under surface of the lower left wing and on top of the right wing as well as on both sides of the rudder. All aircraft must display identification mark when in flight. Identification Meaning Example Numbers only Unlicensed or license pending 867 C before number Licensed for commerce and passengers C-814 S before number Licensed but for Govt, use only S- 18 X before number Experimental Purposes X-836 R before number Licensed for special purposes R-189 N before other letters "(Licensed to fly internationally NX-759 or numbers J Letters following the numerals have no significance as to purpose of aircraft but are used only to shorten numbers. Army planes bear the star and circle insignia on top of both upper and on bottom of both lower wings. The rudder has a verticle blue stripe at the rudder post and thirteen alternate red and white stripes running horizontally. Navy planes bear the star and circle insignia on both upper wings. The navy plane rudder has three stripes: red, white and blue, running vertically with the red stripes always at the tail end of the rudder. The lettering U. S. Navy appears on the fuselage of navy plapes. Army and navy planes bear other numbers and symbols used for identifi cation and designation purposes.

To find circumference of a circle multiply diameter by 3.1416. To find area of a circle multiply square of diameter by .7854. To find surface of a ball multiply square of diameter by 3.1416. To find side of an equal square multiply diameter by .8862. To find cubic inches in a ball multiply cube of diameter by .5236. Doubling the diameter of a pipe increases its capacity four times. One cubic foot of anthracite coal weighs about 53 lbs. One cubic foot of bituminous coal weighs 47 to 50 pounds. One ton of coal is equivalent to two cords of wood for steam purposes. A gallon of water (U. S. standard) weighs 8^ pounds and contains 231 cubic inches. A cubic foot of water contains TYi gallons, 1728 cubic inches, and weighs 623^ pounds. Each nominal horsepower of a boiler requires 30 to 35 pounds of water per hour. A horsepower is equivalent to raising 33,000 pounds one foot per minute, or 550 pounds one foot per second. The average consumption of coal for steam boilers is 12 pounds per hour for each square foot of grate surface. To find the pressure in pounds per square inch of water, multiply the height of column in feet by .434. Steam rising from water at its boiling point (212 degrees) has a pressure equal to the atmosphere (14.7 pounds to the square inch). To evaporate one cubic foot of water requires the consumption of 7J^ pounds of ordinary coal, or about 1 pound of coal to 1 gallon of water. The Unit of electrical output is known as the Watt, and is equivalent to 1/746 of a horse power. Therefore, one thousand Watts or one kilowatt, is equal to 1.34 horse power. One-sixth of tensile strength of plate multiplied by thickness of plate and divided by one-half the diameter of boiler gives working pressure for tubular boilers. For marine boilers add 20% for drilled holes. SOURCE OF THE WINDS From the heat of the sun our winds are all derived. We live at the bottom of an aerial ocean, in a remarkable degree permeable to the solar rays and but little disturbed by their direct action. But those rays, when they fall upon the earth, heat its surface, and when they fall upon the ocean they pro voke evaporation. The air in contact with this surface shares its heat, is ex panded, and ascends into the upper regions of the atmosphere while the vapor from the ocean also ascends, because of its lightness, carrying air along with it. Where the rays fall vertically on the earth, between the tropics, the heating of the surface is greatest. Here aerial currents ascend to the higher regions of the atmosphere while to supply their place cold air flows from the poles to the equator. HOW TO REMOVE STAINS ALABASTER. Use strong soap and water. BLACK SILK. Brush and wipe it thoroughly, lay on table with the side intended to show, up; sponge with hot coffee strained through muslin; when partly dry, iron. TO REMOVE STAINS or GREASE FROM OIL PAINT. Use bisulphide of carbon, spirits of turpentine, or if it is dry and old, use chloroform. These and tar spots can be softened with olive oil and lard. STAINS, IRON RUST, or INK FROM VELLUM or PARCHMENT. Moisten the spot with a solution of oxalic acid. Absorb same quickly by blotting paper or cloth. RUST FROM STEEL. Take half ounce of emery powder mixed with one ounce of soap and rub well. FRUIT SPOTS FROM COTTONS. Apply cold soap, then touch the spot with a hair pencil or feather dipped in chlorate of soda, dip immediately in cold water. GREASE FROM SILKS. Take a lump of magnesia, rub it wet on the spot, let it dry, then brush the powder off. IRON RUST may be removed from white goods by sour milk. SCORCH STAINS FROM WHITE LINEN. Lay in bright sun. MILDEW. Moisten the spot with clean water; rub on it a thick coating of castile soap mixed with chalk scrapings; rub with end of finger, then wash off. OIL MARKS ON WALL PAPER. Apply paste of cold water and pipe clay, leave it on all night, brush off in the morning. PAINT SPOT FROM CLOTHING. Saturate with equal parts turpentine and spirits of ammonia. TO CLEANSE WALL PAPER. Rub a flannel cloth dipped in oatmeal. BLACK CLOTH. Mix one part of spirits of ammonia with three parts warm water, rub with sponge or dark cloth, clean with water, rub with the nap. FINGER MARKS FROM FURNITURE. Rub with a soft rag and sweet oil. CHROMOS. Go over lightly with a damp linen cloth. ZINC. Rub with a piece of cotton cloth dipped in kerosene, afterwards with a dry cloth. VEGETABLE STAINS FROM HANDS. Bub with a slice of raw potato. WINDOW GLASS. Paint can be removed by a strong solution of soda. TO CLEAN TINWARE. Common soda applied with a moistened news paper and polished with a dry piece, will make it look like new. SWIFTNESS OF THE EARTH'S REVOLUTION In order to accomplish, as it does in 365 J4 days the immense distance round the sun, our sphere is obliged to travel a distance of 1,580,765.28 miles a day or 65,865.22 miles an hour or 18 miles a second. We sail, then, in immensity with a velocity seventy-five times swifter than that of a cannon ball.
