...aerodynamic principles of the airplane are being used in the construction of racing automobiles. After much experimentation in the wind tunnel or aerodynamic laboratory, the Farman Brothers, famous plane constructors, have produced an enclosed racing automobile with all aluminum body, which is of perfect streamline form. The cutting down of air resistance adds many miles to the already enormous speed of such racing vehicles...
...possibility of a tunnel under the Bering Strait has been brought up again. In speaking before a branch of the American Asiatic Association, Julian Arnold, Commercial Attache of the United States to Peking, advocated the construction of this connecting link between America and Asia,--a step which would make possible a railroad from Chicago to Peking, and eventually from New York to Paris and Berlin, via Nome and Omsk.

...little less stupendous in conception, but more certain of execution is the newly-undertaken automobile tunnel beneath the Hudson River in New York. But this does not seem a startling project, because of the subway tubes which have already been built, and of which more are constantly being proposed as the best way of meeting the problem of transportation...

Until this is realized, it seems reasonable that the Cambridge traffic system should be brought comparatively up to date. Without interfering with traffic or much expeuse to those who watch over the city's interests, it would be possible to place four safety "islands" or zones along Masschusetts avenue...
