At Meudon, near Paris, captive
balloon was recently allowed to rise
to height of $50 metres and then
shot at with Lebel rifle. Most Of
the shots passed through the lower
half of the balloon, and some pierced
the upper hall The effect on the
balloon was hardly perceptible, as
six hours elapsed before, in q very
gentle descent, it reached the earth.
1t is evident that the light gas did
not escape through the holes made in
the lower part of the balloon, and to
make holes effectively in the upper
half would require gun of greater
calibre and firing perhaps shrapnel.
1t would not, however, be an easy
matter to hit with shot from large
gun, balloon travelling at consider
able distance from the ground. Lon.

THE LADDlE WHO WAS ALWAYS
"GOlNG TO DO"

There lived long ago, in a town I once
knew,
A laddie who always was "going to do
Some act of great valor, some deed of re-
nown,
Some glorious feat that would win him
Fume's crown.
His hopes, they were many, his doubts were
but few,
This brave little lad who was "going to
do"
But alasl While he dreamed, while he
fashioned with care
The wonderful castles he built in the air,
His tasks we're neglected, his lessons un-
learned,
Life's honeier duties and pleasures were
spurned
From childhood to youth and to manhood
he grew,
Still soasting OF all he was "going to do"
The wealth he had hoped would be his to
command,
Was granted to others, who worked while
he planned.
The honors for which in his fancy he
Were showered on others, who dared while
he dreamed.
So many bright chances had passed him,
that few
Were left for the lad who was "golng to
do"
At last he awoke from his visions so bold,
To find himself frlendless Nnd cherries
and odl
No mighty achievement had blazoned his
name,
He never had mounted the ladder of Fame.
Not one of the wonderful dreams had
come true
That were dreamed by the lad who was
"going to do"

Photographs Lightning Flashes.

Scientists" says the Philadelphia

which W. N. Jennings, of Philadel-
phia, has been indulging in for the last
eighteen years, and which, they say,
has proven of much value to them. No
thunderstorm OF any moment passes
over the city, no matter whether it is
day or night, that does not find Mr..
Jennings, arrayed in specially con-
structed rubber suit, on top of his

ment with his highly sensitized plates
he spoiled hundreds of them before
he could obtrin any satisfactory re-
suits. Finally, after two years of flu
tile effort, he discovered the right
plan, and now his success is wonder
full. This work is considered so i'm
portant that Kelvin, tie world re-
nowned scientist, has placed himself

Examples of old-rashioned Dentistry.

Dentistry, like other usefel arts, has
progressed with the times. There was
n time when aching teeth were be-
lieved to be inhabited by devils in
durance vile, and all sorts of charms
were used to drive out the trouble.
some demons. Even to this day those
who suffer the tortures of toothache
wonder if the old theory is not COR
rect. A certain Thomas Lupton in
1927 gave the following directions for
tooth extracting:
''Io draw out tooth, fill an
earthen pot with emets or ants and
their eggs, and set the same pot in
hot embers so long until all be burned
into ashes; and when any doth AXE,
which you would draw forth without
pain, then take of the same powder,
and touch the tooth Herewith, and it
will fall out"
1t is told that DR.. Tushmake, of
Boston, invented an instrument for
pulling teeth that lost him all his
friends. 1t was IA combination of the
lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclinVl
plane, wedge and screw. A child of
three years could, bya single turn of
the screw, raise a stone weighing
twenty-three TONS" says John
Phoenix. That was in the days when
men wore cumbersome metal plates
supporting false teeth in their mouths.
General George Washington was noted
for geld toothplate of this sort,
which was rather large and puffed out
his lips and cheeks noticeably. Chi

the half-hearted crowd on the beach

"Hello, Pedro" he chuckled; "look

ready to render any assistance that
might be needed. Then the boy heard

called out to the men in the boat with

GREAT GOVERNMENT INVESTMENTS
Are What Irrlgstioa ApproprIstIoss Would Be.

HTo WHot WVsyotv" N.Y. W. soev"s Wv"s~ wv
Hostility to irrigation Legislation
has developed in the East from time
to time, broad minded expressions
among men liberal enough to see
that what builds up one part of the
country must reflexibly help all
other parts.
1t is pleasing to note that such a
far eastern paper as the Boston
Transcript recognizes the fact that
irrigation appropriations for the
West would be national invest
ments, in the interests of and for the
benefit of all the people of the United
States.
Quite part of the annual outlay
of the nation, the Transcript says,
in an investment rather than an ex-
penditure. Public buildings are
direct investments, obvious to every
body, because they save rental to
the government. In the case of GER
tain other appropriations, the invest
ment aspect, while just as genuine is
SO indirect as to escape attention. An
appropriation for the improvement
of Boston Harbor would be an in
direct investment. The cost of trans
portation is one of the great public
charges, the rates of which bear
directly upon the fortune of every
body. A deep channel to Boston
makes possible large ships and there
fore low freight rates. The govern
ment in spending money for such
improvements makes easier the flu
ture burden of its citizens and IS the
interests of the citizen and the State
are indentical, this becomes an in
vestment pure and simple.
1t is the same story, continues the
TRANSCRIPT, with all worthy river
and harbor improvements; they are
national Investments. Irrigation
expenses, insofar as they provide
tor permanent works, come under
the same head. National expendi-
lures of the investment sort should
be encouraged, especially when the
country is so prosperous that it can
bear it's burden well as against the
time of greater stringency. (
1t takes but slight study to see
that an irrigation appropriation APP
piled to any one section would al
most Immediately help other sec
tions. If the West were fully de-
veloped, the East would necessarily
benefit thereby for western money
would flow eastward to purchase
those things which the East alone
supplies and so through the pros
per1ty of the irrigated West the
manufacturing East would indirect
ly benefit by the opening OF great
additional markets.

THE Republican platform de-
clares unequivocally against the
free coinage of silver. What the
Democratic platform will declare
on this subject remains to be seen.
Everybody knows where Bryan
stands, however, and that to elect
him is the only hope of every true
silver man in the land. Those
who think are also aware of the
fact that the struggle this year is
going to be a close and bitter one.
The best OF politicians are doubt
full as to which side will win, but
it is foregone conclusion that if
Bryan fails to win this year it will
be years before the Democratic
party will ever again have Presi-
dent of the United States. To
this end, then, it bebooves all sill
yer men to stand together at this

in the Democratic party this year
the only thing left to do is to get
into the Republican ranks and
