LOCATElll, mum. fl ,
of! the search. ’
Finding of the seaplane in these
waters after drifting beyond the
probable sons searched by the naval
vessels for three days is regarded as
bordering upon the miraculous.
The more had been sending up
rockets every two hours nightly and
had almost exhausted their supply.
1'- developed that the first one they
sent up Sunday night was seen on
board the Richmond.
Lieut. Locatelli. who was on
watch as the rocket ascended. re-
marked "What is the use?” but a.
few moments later saw an answer-
ing flare from the Richmond.
There were dramatic scenes as
the plane crept into the sesrchlight
zone. The decks of the Richmond
were crowded. Admiral Magruder.
the captain. omcers and crew lined
the rails. every eye trained upon the
disabled aircraft as it rose and fall
with the waves. while motion pic-
ture operators busily worked their
cameras.
Crossio soon after climbing up the
sea. ladder to the Richmond's deck.
stretched wearily and then re-
marked cooly: "Ali's well that ends
well." Locatelli was also stoical. al-
though he later watched grimly and
with drawn face the destruction of
his beloved plane. The two engi-
neers apparently suflered the most.
both being seasick.
Locatelii. declaring he was not
tired. told the story of his mishap.
He had been forced down by minor
engine trouble. and, unacquainted
with the rough northern seas. had
landed heavily. smashing two struts
and damaging the rudder stabilizer.
Unable to take off owing to the
roughness of the water he decided
to await smoother conditions, hav-
ing sumcient fuel for three hours’
flight.
Locatelli said that although the
chances on rescue apparently were
growing less. the crew never gave up
hope. To a question whether he
feared the outcome at any time the
Italian ace shrugged his shoulders
and replied with a phrase in his na-
tive tongue which might be inter-
preted as. "It‘s all in the game."
As their plane was set afire and
loosed from the stern of the Rich-
mond. Locatelli and Crouio watched
the end of their hopes. Crossio. with
his eyes on the blazing seaplane.

"If there are animals there. they
must be a. very low stateof life. The
vegetation there must resemble our
moss and lichen."
Rev Moreux said the weather on
Mars. where spring is now at its
height. is as bad as that on earth and
nasty summer which the inhabitants
of the earth have endured this year.
(This obviously referee to this sum-
mer in France.)
He added that he wanted to cor-
rect some erroneous comments on
the probable temperature there for
atmospheric conditions. declaring:—
"Although the thermometer on Mars
might register about 5 degrees above
zero fahrenheit in the shade. yet
fully exposed to the sun. it probably
would show something like 65 or 70
degrees above zero and would be fa-
vorable to a vegetation which drew
its moisture only from the atmos-
phere.

pose of wiping out illiteracydn that
country in 10 years," Dr. Thomas

paign and adopted the slogan “Chi-

"Pompilio Ortega is heading a.

Honduras a. literate nation in five

fective campaign and has taught

STAMFORD. Aug. 27.
The First American Shade Tree
Conference was terminated y-ster-
day afternoon after a lunchcvn at
the Bartlett Experimental l‘arm
here. Prior to the luncheon an in-
spection tour along several routes
in this section of the county was
held for the purpose of investigat-
ing the various types of fillers used
in tree surgery work. and also to
more thoroughlylook over the new
heal collar. a Bartlett tree device
that secures more rapid healing
around the cdgcs of tree wounds
and eliminates inner rot from the
filling.
i
Several estates in Greenwich and?
Sound Beach were gone over for:
this purpose. The visiting botan-1
ists and forestry and plant experts.
from various institutions and sin-‘
lions interested in tree work, as well i
as the scvcral government experts.
from tho United States Bureau of.
Plant Industry. were of the opinion
that the new composition filler were
more practical and of greater in~
surance to tree. life than the cement

invention consists of a layer of reg-

other elastic gum which was also
coated with roofing cement. The
entire device. it was explained. was
covered by a rubberoid coating.
The second day of the session
opened yesterday morning at the
Hotel Davenport at about 10 o'clock.
The group then started out on the
inspection tour. which. it was said.
