Throughout the week Berliners gradually resumed their normal health and spirits after a period of torpor induced by the consumption of the following yuletide viands, as estimated by Der Tag: 3?? million pounds of meat, chiefly geese and heavy cuts suitable for roasting; slightly under one million pounds of carp, the traditional and indispensable dish of the German for Christmas Eve; 4 million eggs; 1 million pounds of sugar; 125 tons of fruits and nuts; and "at least 210 million marks' worth of beer and wine...
...long-awaited trend toward higher money rates is at length plainly under way, at least so far as the Federal Reserve system is concerned.

The greatest propelling force is obtained when the circumferential speed of the revolving towers is about 3?? times as great as the speed of the wind. The Buckau, whose revolving towers are about ten feet in diameter with a possible speed of 150 revolutions per minute can, therefore, function most efficiently in winds up to 15 miles an hour. By building rotor-ships with towers of greater diameter and greater speed of revolution, it should be possible to "sail" efficiently...
