Tint Mestern Airshin.


During the past few months there have
come from the Pacific slope repeated and
insistent reports with regard to a mystic
rious airship, seen sailing leisurely over
head and looking down upon the world
below with an eye of incandescent bril-
liancy. It seems that the air monster is
creature of nocturnal habits, since it
has never been seen in the day time
which suggests that it's motors are driven
with the powers of darkness.
The mysterious visitor was first reported
from Los Angeles, some time ago. Since
then it seems to have struck leisurely
course eastwards, and TO have put in an
appearance only so often as was neees-
sary to receive good press notices from
the papers. At last advices it was as far
inland as Omaha. At that place it caused
some CONSERVATION in suburban district.
1t was about like the old story: Some
said 1t was the moon, some said nay;
some said it was the devil, and they all
ran away" The thing came into view
from the southeast with its signal light,
or search light. burning brightly. lowered
over the city for time, and disappeared
in the northwest Nothing but the light
was visible. Herman Matthews of the
Omaha Bee is positive that It was not a
star, or the moon, or any other celestial
body. 1t was too big for star and too
little for the moon.
Certain of the San Francisco papers
have denounced the reports about the air
ship as fakes. And, indeed, people on this
coast had about reached the conclusion
that the craft appeared only in the press
dispatches, and was the creation of the
wild western reporters Imagination. But
there are circumstances which cloud the
whole thing. Certain leading western pol
iticians are quoted as having seen the
airship. Their declarations, of course, are
not to be questioned. And then If the west
ern reporters were "stringing'' the east
ern papers with the story, there would be
more variation in the descriptions of the
airship. The western reporter banks upon
his versatility in description, and would
scorn to follow the fight OF Imagination
of another fellow. The persistent same
ness Of the reports from the west is one
of the most puzzling features of the case.
Until something more satisfactory can
be heard about the matter, however, II is
probably as good theory as any to hold
that the mysterious visitor comes from
across the river styx, that 1t is, indeed.

Congressman Bailey, the new democratic
leader, did not attend the Presidents din
ner to the ways and means committee. He
received an invitation, along with his con-
ferees, but called on the President and ex-
planned that he could not accept for the
reason that he would not wear evening
clothes" There seems to be a bit of prud-
cry in this refusal of Mr.. Bailey to con-
form TO the conventions of refined society.
There is nothing reprehensibe in dress
coat nor is a low-cut waistcoat a conces-
sion to plutocracy. The masses do not
exrect their representatives at Washing

shirt, but to hold themselves as the equals
in all respects of those with whom they
come into contact. Mr. Bailey should have
gone to the dinner in spike-tailed coat,
low waistcoat and patent leather shoes.

GAPES IN POULTRY.

AS a general rnle. poultry on the
farm are much freer from disease than
poultry which is got under more
artificial circumstances. There is one
disease which is often more prevalent
on the farm than in other places and
more especially where the surround
lngs of farm are old and have been
long in occupation. The disease is one
which is very fatal to young poultry
especially, and no steps should be left
untaken to get rid of it.
The gapeworm to which we refer is
rapidly picked up by chickens and
turkeys from the soil, on which the
ova of this parasite has been disposed
in natural way by the older birds.
Many poultry keepers on the farm
often wonder at their non success in
increasing their flocks, and we have
frequently seen cases where great
loss has been sustained through the
dying off of nearly all the whole sea-
sons production of young turkeys,
where these have been raised for many
years. We have seen orchards and
fields, where poultry have been kept
for many successive seasons, thorough
ly contaminated, and where it has been
impossible to successfully raise poul-
try. Frequently people do not recog-
nize the cause OF this, though in some
cases we have known farmers to be
aware of it and refuse to take the
necessary means to put an end to it.
Where the land has become fouled in
this manner, it should be we'll dressed
with lime, and all poultry should be
kept from it for two or, three years,
Impossible.
Not only is infection conveyed by
the ova which is taken up from the
soil, but it is also contracted through
drinking water which has become rol-
luted through the medium of the Older
fowls and birds. Another precaution
to be taken is the destruction by
burning of the heads and necks of the
birds which have suffered from this
disease. There are several remedies
which are used for fowls suffering
from this disease, most of them well
known to farmers, but the best one of
all Is that OF prevention, which can be
successfully adopted if any moderate
amount of care is exercised in the
raising of poultry on the farm.
