It was in Bagdad «hat the mathematical and mechanical arts first began to make their ajq>eanince. With the coming of these different studies tbe horizon of tbe Arabs tiecame enlarged. It was about this period that tbe grand Caliph Haroun «J Rasehid sent his fan. us dock to Charlentague, emperor of the Frauis.

CLIMB THAT REQUIRED NERVE English Workman Went 450 Feet in Air to Make Repairs to Marconi Wireless Mast. The Morning Post of Ixindon gives the description of a climb performed by a workman in the employ of the Marconi company at their works In Cfcelmsfori. A short time ago the highest part of a wireless mast 4.10 feet high, higher than the cross on the top of St. Paul’s, was broken by a gale. How was It to he repaired? Ladders were out of the question. But the difficulties did not daunt one of the workmen, who noticed that the mast was made of quarter-sections bolted together and then fitted one on top of the other. He asked, and was given permission, to try the climb. He made himself a belt, at the two ends of which were rings that would slip over the ends of the bolts. Thus equipped lie started to mount on high, the bolts being hfs only means of support.

The law provides that twenty-five per cent be returned to the county I torn which the vehicle is registered, therefore the net income per vehicle to the State Highway Fund is approximately fifteen dollars ($15.00) per car which is the figure used in com puting Column 3. The administration expenses of the motor vehicle law will be met from the receipt» from motorcycle licenses, chauffer»’ badges, transfers, etc. Column 4 represents the income from the Gasoline Tax (Chap. 159, Laws 1919) to the State Highway Fund. Figures obtained from the Secretary of State's office indicate the average tax per vehicle in 1919, was approximately five dollars ($5.00) and this figure has been used in computing Column 4. Column 5 is the total amount of the motor vehicle license fees and the gasoline tax based on the estimated number of vehicles as shown in Column 2. Column 6 is the amount required each year to pav off the interest and principal at ma turity of State Highway bonds up to an estimated amount of $40,000,000 (the approxi mate amount which could be issued with a 4 per cent limit on the present assessed valua tion of the -fate. These figures are based on these premises: That the balance of the Six Million Dollars Bonds (Chap. 423, Laws 1917), the State Co-operative Bonds $1,800,000 (Bean-Barrett, Chap. 175, Laws 1917), and the Ten Million Dollar Bonds (Chap. 173, Laws 1919), now unsold will be sold during the year 1920. Also that further bonds will be sold as follows: 1920, $5,090,000; 1921, $5,000,000; 1922, $5,000,000; 1923, $5,000,000; 1924; $2,200,000; a total of $40,000,000. All of the bor.ds thus far authorized are serial bonds and, except the Bean-Barrett issue, mature one-twentieth each year after the fifth year. The Bean-Barrett issue matures $100,000 each year beginning with 1922. The Six Million and Bean-Barrett issues draw 4 per cent Interest. All other issues 4*/j per cent.
