Hair Cut BY Locomotive;
Loaded With Yuie Spirit
He Sleeps Between Ties

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-when a resi-
dent Of Baural Hill who had helped to
make Milwaukee famous-as we'll as
Frankfort, 3Iy.-by a prolonged INNER
sion in the spirit OF Yule came to the
tracks Of the Long Island Railroad at
Penny Bridge late Christmas Eve. he
accepted the implied hospitality and
composed himself for rest with his head
in the hollow between two ties and
the crown of his Uranium just grazing
the side of the outside rail-.
There he repOsed when along came the
newspaper train that leaves Long Island
City for Babylon at six minutes to 4
o clock. The engine driver saw him and
stopped his train with a jerk, but not
until the man had been passed. Certain
that only a mangled body would be
found, members of the train crew went
back to investigate.
The reveller rolled a sleepy eye at
them and modoned them away. They
persisted in their attentions and pulled
him to his feet.
Why, Steve, old man, you're getting
baldi" exclaimed an old acquaintance.
Steve put UP hand to investigate and
q bewildered look stole over his face.
7 guess you're right he said sheep
ishly.
Sure enough, in the bushy black hair
that crowned his scalp, there glOwed a
blushing smear of smooth cuticle.
Bystanders were incredulOus, but the
fireman walked back to the locomotive.
There, stuck firmly to the guard over
the left wheel OF the pilot truck, was
a lock of hair which matched in color
and curl the heavy crop on the re-
veller's head.

Great ArmadaS.

The sailing Of our magnificent Pa
cific feet serves to recall other
great naval forces, and their mis-
sions in history.
The Spanish armada was dis
patched by Philip II Of Spain in
1883, to conquer England. Years
were spent in its preparation, and
an immense sum expended on its
equipment. 1t consisted of 80 ships
of different kinds, and carried an
army of 10000 veteran soldiers, then
the finest in Europe, commanded by
the celebrated Duke of Parma.
There were also about 5000 sailors
10 work the ships. The vessels were
the largest and finest ever built up
to that time. Philip lavished every
thing on the armada, for he played
a mighty game, the winning OF
which would have made him master
of Britain. Wien formed in battle
line the ships extended a length of
seven miles. How Drake and Hay-
kins and the other sea dogs fought
this mighty feet and battered II TO
pieces is familiar to every school
boy, and it is probable that the
same thing could have been accom-
Plished by n single one of Admiral
Evans battleshipS.
The Russian fleet commanded by
Rojestvensky, destroyed by Togo in
the great fight in the Sea of Japan.
was the only great naval fighting
force sent out by European power
in recent times.
When Rome was in her glory Oc-
tavian sailed with an armada Of 26O
beaked warships and galleys, and
won the great sea fight of Actium.
which made him master of the Latin
world.
Doubtless there were critics who
pointed out defects and forctold
defeat when the Spanish armada
sailed, as there were when Rojest-
vensky left the North Sea, just as
there have been criticisms of our
own navy. 1t is to be hoped that
these American critics are mistaken
in their structures. If they are
correct, then the course of the
Government is as plain as the

PLANS FOR WAR BALLOONS
COME FROM MANY CORNERS
Just the Right Kind" Pour Into the Presidents Office
From Thousands Of Inventors of
the Nation.

Now that specifications for an aero
plane and = dirigible balloon have been
made public by the Signal Corps of the
United States Army, the Office OF the
Chief Signal Oficer. General Allen, has
been flooded with models. plans. draw
ings, sketches. and outlines OF Just the
machine that IS wanted"
From every corner OF the country
even the most remote and Isolated,
come these plans. and In every instance
the designer wants the War Department
to send an officer 70 inspect his design.
Ever since the conception Of a machine
20 fiy. and long before 3t was considered
by the army. did these men send letters
with plans, IN the hope OF selling TO the
department. An observer can scarcely
believe that there are 80 many invent
ors in the United States. None of them
realize the inability and impractl-
cabiIty Of the department detailing an
officer TO examine each scheme or 10
take It in hand as a crude model and
complete. This would take the service
