16 PHONE SERVICE WITH SEAPLANE Wireless Apparatus Permits Conversation With Aviator in Flight Atlantic City, N. J.. May 21. Wireless telephone apparatus has been installed as a part of the in strument demonstration bureau of the second Pan-American Aeronautic Congress in session here and some startling "stunts" were performed with the devices that have been placed at the end of the piers and a board, one of the seaplanes oper ating from a station at the Inlet. Ex periments in talking between the piers and the seaplane while it was in full flight twenty mites off the. beach were carried on without a hitch. One of the features of the out door activities of the convention will be an aerial "hop, skip and jump," to demonstrate how aerial life pre servers may be employed should a passenger or pilot lose bis balance in transferring from one plane to an other in midair in ease of an emerg ency change from a crippled ma chine. Parachute experts who are working on aerial regulations and who will propose that every airship shall carry a life preserver for every passenger along the same lines as the government regulations for water craft, will judge the demonstration.

This is three per cent, better than one month ago and indicates an approximate aver age yield of 21.3 bushels per acre. |On this basis, considering the large acreage, the total production will reach 33,404,000 bushels. The crop will probably be above or below these figures according as the change in conditions from now until harvest is above or below the usual or aver age change in condition. The total production last was estimated at 26,024,000 bushels. Like wheat, rye is in splendid con dition and indicates 103 per cent, of a normal crop. This is a gain of three per cent, during the month of April. According to present outlook tho yield will bo 19.8 bushels per acre and the total production 5,- 434,000 bushels. The production last year was estimated at 4,676,500 The outlook for hay on May first was 93 per cent, compared with a normal. It is forecasted that the yield will approximate 1.45 tons pet acre. No figures available yet as to the acreage that will be harvested. The average yield last year was esti-1 mated at 1.35 tons per acre. The Bureau of Statistics reports I that the prospect for a full crop of I fruit in Pennsylvania is as follows: i Apples, 81 per cent.; pears, 66 perl cent.: peaches, 60 per cent.; plums, I 65 per cent., and cherries, 62 peri cent. As this information was gat.li- | ! crcd on or about May first, only aj few days after tho freeze of April j 24-26, the next report may show condition and outlook much above or below these figures.

R.'S THROUGH EUROPE New Train Service First Vital Step in Recon struction Paris, May 21.—What is char acterized as one of tho most vital steps towards the speedy recon struction of war-torn Europe is being taken this week in the inaug uration of tho through, transconti nental train service between Paris, Belgrade and Bucharest via Pon tarlier, Milan, Triest, Agram and Vinlcovce. This line would under ordinary circumstances be a great boon to the traveler and to the bus iness man, but now, on the eve of the signing of peace, it assumes an incalculable importance to the wel fare of many countries. The Allied capitals will now he linked up once more by a rapid service which will permit of easy communications. The slow sea route can be abandoned for the numerous governmental missions which will play a great part in tho reconstruction. In numerous other ways the new line will facilitate the process of rebuilding the fortunes of the Allies. Germany Avoided That this railway avoids Germany and undoubtedly will take away much of the trade of the German railways, finds no adverse criticism in Paris. The French are quite con tent to see the railways of their late enemies lio dormant for a time. Whether the new Allied line will ultimately become the great trade artery for the continent, replacing the German lines between the North Sea ports and the East, is a matter of much discussion. There are ar guments on both sides of the ques tion. Certainly its immediate effect is expected to he to lessen tho Ger man prospects. Whether there is any sentiment in trade, which will influence future developments, re mains to be seen. The new service will provide through trains de luxe between Paris and Belgrade three times eaels week, according to present plans. One train a week will go through to Bucharest. Thus with a good train service between Paris and the Eng lish Channel ports, England will again be hrnugnt into close touch with her Eastern Allies. On to Athens Soon As soon as possible the line will be extended to Constantinople and to Athens, but the running of trains to these places now is impossible owing to the destruction of railways during the war. It will take several months to repair the damage. In addition, rolling stock is very scarce. Even now it is necessary to make a wide detour to get to Bucharest} from Belgrade. While the transcontiental train service will be important for relief work and for traders who wish to visit the East to re-etsablish com mercial relations, it is believed that the steamship traffic will not be ma terially affected by the innovation, i Goods will still continue to pass through the Mediterranean as of old.
