PRICE THREE CENTS
In a recent lecture Mr.. Il. A. Cover

In recent lecture Mr., +. A. Cover
asked the question, Could armies, forts
and arsenals be seriously assailed from
that quarter in which attack was not
now expected-the air above? His
belief, from four years of study and
observation, was in the aflirmatlve.an
as means to that end he proposed
simply to transfer to the upper levels
the general plan of torpedo warfare,
upon a larger scale and with its effec-
tive range indefinitely extended. The
term "air t,rpedoes," did not quite de-
scribe his system, and he had used
rather the term "air battery" to de-
scribe the force he proposed should be
used in aerial warfare. He suggested
that by the means of aerostats explo-
sions of 100 pound shells of gun cot
ton might be arranged ovel the enemy's
position. Summarizing his proposals,
the lecturer said: "In brief, / propose
to you a warfare by gun cotton and
hydrogen, to make the loss of IN army
result of its meeting an opposing
wind, to destroy the security of forti-
fed positions, and finally to show, upon
the simplest principles of self-preser-
walton, that nations must keep peace
and great armies be disbanded."

Queer Corean Customs.

The primitive sackcloth is still the
mourning raiment of the Coreans.
During visit paid by the squadron
under the command Of Admiral Willes
to ports on the east coast of Corea. the
officials were wearing "grayish hem
pen garments" which, in that country.
denote mourning. and the admiral was
informed that the whole nation had
gone into mourning for year for the
Queen, who had died in consequence
of the shock to her feelings caused by
the proceedings of the rioters at Seoul.
In the matter of dress generally the
Coreans are favorably spoken of, near
ly every one being decently dressed
and a real well-dressed Corean, in his
broad hat and whitest robes, is said to
have an eminently respectable and
well-to-do appearance. Their towns,
however, offer a distinct contrast,
sanitary science being little under.
stood, and architecture not having got
beyond a rudimentary stage; but in
one respect they seem to be ahead OF
the West. The smoke from the fires
is male to pass in flues undern cath
the rest of the house, and although the
chimney is projected in an incongru
Gus way into the streets. the whole
building is comfortably warmed by
limited expenditure of fuel

Care OF Children.

Up to the age of fourteen to sixteen
years the most important thing for
the interest of the child is physical
and mental development, as an equip
ment or capital in future life. The
child should have the opportunity to
grow in bodily stature and strength.
1t is poor economy in the end to suffer
physical growth to be stunted by un-
healthy or unnaturally prolonged EN-
ployments, which the undeveloped ply
steal system of children cannot safely
endure. Looked at from purely eco
nomical standpoint, overwork tor chill
dren is on the average to reduce the
sum total of efficiency during life,
from the humanitarian STANDPOINT the
argument is still more conclusive. The
child is not free agent. In many
cases he cannot consult his own feel
ings and interests. He is liable to be
overworked through the cupidity OF
unnatural parents. He should be pro
tected by the law.

An Old Prcverb.

Poutiug, my darling, because it rains
And flowers droop and the rain is falling,
and drops are blurring the window panes.
And moaning wind through the lane is
calling?
Crying and wishing the sky was clear
And roses again on the lattice twinning!
All, we'll, remember, my foolish dear,
"'Tis easy to laugh when the sun is Shin
ing!"
When the world is bright and fair and gay,
And the glad birds sing in the fair June
weather.
And summer is gathering, night and day,
Her golden chalice of sweets together;
When blue seas answer tho sky above,
And bright stars follow the days declining,
Why, then, tbs no merit to smile, my love:
"Tis easy to laugh when the sun is SHIN
ing!"
But this is the time tho heart to test
When winter is near and storms are howl
ing,
And the earth from under her frozen vest
Looks up at the sky mute and scowling
The brave little spirit should rise to meet
The seasons gloom and the days repining.
And this is tho time to laugh; for sweet,
"rs easy TO laugh whom the sun is shin
ing !"

The United States Signal Service,

jerome w." of Napoleon, O.,
wants to know how to enter the signal
service, and what the chances are af-
ter he succeeds.
A young man who desires to enter
the signal service must make applica-
ton to the chief of the bureau at
Washington. His application will be
duly filed and he will be sent print
ed list of questions to be answered
This may be called preliminary ex-
animation. He must return the list,
accompanied by an affidavit that he
had no assistance in answering the
questions.
Official examinations are held in
Washington in January and July, and
all applicants must appear there. If
such examination is passed success
fully their names will be entered upon
a register, and as fast as vacancies oc-
cur they will be filled from the passed
candidates.
This Is the routine and official way,
but "inhuence" can be brought to bear
upon this department its well as all
others.
Upon being accepted by the service
the young man must regularly enlist,
agreeing to serve the government for
five years. He is then sent to Fort
Meyers, Va.-just across the Potomac
from where he lives the
life of a soldier, cadet and student-all
in one-for six months. He is under
strict military discipline, wears uni
form, and has only soldiers rations,
and is instructed in the subject he has
taken up. AS to the work, after he
has been appointed to a station, it Is
very light while the pay is very fair.
The position is one of considerable
trust and responsibility, and in case of
North Pole expeditions or other extra
ordinary service a certain number
from the signal corps are drafted to 60
along. The station in Detroit, Buffalo,
Rochester and cities Of that size are in
charge of Sergeants, assisted by at
least one man, and the salary is equal
to at least $40 per week.
