burning airplane In the World war,
John llenr.v (Jose of Washington, D,
C, a member of the American I.e.
glou's national committee on aero
nautics, with other aviators, who had
received similar Injuries, set to work
to devise a sjstem to eliminate for
others the dangers that caused their
own Injuries.
The result was the invention of a
Hroproof gasoline tank, containing a
llro-restlng chemical which extin
guishes any lire that may start from a
leak in the gasoline tank s?tom.
Another Has); containing acid I in.
stalled over tho engine of the airplane.
This Husk releases Its acid as soon as
a certain toinpeinture has boon
reached. The Invention Is built In
much the same maimer as a thorium
Husk Is constructed.
Mr. Cose entered the service at l'ort
Myer, Ylrglnla. He served for a time
In a battery of field artillery until he
obtained a transfer to the aviation
service. He received training with the

1 Curious Use for Ice.
V'f to the present it has been not
tlble to leave only small cavltleayin
concrete, but u big advance has been
brought about by a new foreign
I method. Iieees of Ice that correspond
to the measurements of the cavity r
inilred are embedded in thu concrete
mass, and small channels are left tn
allow tho water to run off when the
Ice melts. The process is of particular
advantage In reinforcing concrete with
Iron. The Iron parts are not built In
during thu stumping, hut are attached
to tho blocks of Ice before the woik
Is begun. The repeated moistening
usuull.v necessury in concrete work Is
not required In this process, for the
melting of the lco makes up the hsH
