In. Tomorrow in a flight around the world in Pursuit of the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin which he hoped to overtake and pass before she could reach Lakehurst and new York. The French aviator who has already made a flight around the world since he crossed the South Atlantic Ocean in 1927, told an intimate Friend today that he would attempt to break the worlds nonstop distance record for air planes on the first stage of his race around the world with the Zeppelin which is at present at Tokyo. Coste flying in the machine with j which he recently attempted to j Eross the Atlantic from East to West will attempt to make the distance from Lebourget to Vlad Istok Siberia in a single flight tomorrow. Stop in Russia he says he intends to refuel at Vladivostok and then immediately Fly to Tokyo which he expects to reach by nine p. In. Saturday. The famous Pilot added that arrangements had been made at Kasum Gaura flying Field from which the Graf Zeppelin was to Start to adapt pontoons for his air plane for the flight across the Pacific to the american coast. He intended to leave Japan by five a. In. Sunday morning stopping Only eight hours for sleep supplies and installation of the pontoons. Unless he meets with some Accident Coste expects to Stop at the hawaiian islands. He thinks he should reach Hawaii Early tuesday August 27. Then he will continue in a single jump to san Francisco or los Angeles. He hoped to arrive at los Angeles before the Graf Zeppelin could refuel and get away for Lakehurst the Graf is due in California sunday if All goes Well and she maintains the Speed Over the Pacific which she averaged across Europe and Asia. Wait three Days it will take three Days to refuel her and inspect her engines. Coste expected to catch up with the Graf some time after leaving Hawaii.

The last stage of his flight will be from new York to Lebourget or from old Orchard Maine from which his fellow countrymen ass Lant Lott and Lefevre took off in their air plane yellow Bird.

If All went Well to duplicate Lindbergh a famous flight in May 1927. Although the Atlantic has Bren crossed several times from West a it East since then no one has equalled the exploit of the famous american aviator. Would regain record Coste will make his flight around the world in any Case he said but he is especially anxious to overtake the Graf Zeppelin because or. Hugo Eckener broke costed a record for the Paris Tokyo distance by nearly two Days. The Zeppelin did not cover the entire distance Between Paris and Tokyo but made the flight from Friedrichs Hafen in at least a Day less than the six Day achievement of the French Pilot. In any Case Coste considers his record broken and wants to get it Back again with the added thrill of a race against a dirigible. Most French airmen maintain the inherent superiority of heavier than air Craft to dirigible and costed a race with the Graf Zeppelin will be followed with the keenest interest by aviation circles in France.

He will face flight across the Pacific Ocean and across the North Atlantic Ocean which Are entirely new to him. New York n. Y., aug. 21�?a Stethoscope making audible the sound produced by a Mediterranean fruit Fly larva while eating inside Florida Grapefruit and oranges was disclosed Here today in a departmental report of the american Telephone and Telegraph company. Notwithstanding the amazing degree of delicacy attained by the amplifying instruments the report says they Are not of present use in combating the pest. They fail because they cannot also pick up the sounds the larva makes when it moves about. The tests were made in search of Means of determining fruit that May be shipped safely to Market from that which might be contaminated. These larvae grow within the fruit until they emerge into the Fly stage. As larvae they do their feeding with the Aid of tusks. United states entomologists reasoned that with such utensils the larvae might be noisy eaters. So some time ago they called on the Telephone laboratories for co operation. An expert was sent from new York to Florida with several trunks of batteries microphones Telephone receivers vacuum tube amplifiers and other apparatus. Several suspected grapefruits were placed on top a Telephone transmitter Stethoscope. Forthwith from three of them issued sounds such As might come from Hooks tearing off tiny fruit fiber. The noisy fruit was opened. Inside were living larvae. But when a a a quiet _ Grapefruit was opened no Post was there. Other samples gave equally Good results however it was found the reputedly hungry larvae did not pass All their time eating the eating test alone was not economically practicable. Efforts failed to devise apparatus to catch the still fainter sounds of larvae moving about. Electrocution was tried by sending an electric current through the fruit but it did not work. A rays were shot through the fruit but again the pest was unharmed. The report comments on the thoroughness with which Federal scientists Are experimenting to curb this Fly.
