At this time, when air navigation attracts so much attention, says the Frankfurter zeitung, we should not forget the four hundredth anniversary of q strange effort in that direction. In September, 1907, King James " scnt a special ambassador from Edin- burgh to France. An adventurer, John Damlan, who had gained the favor of the King, said that he would reach France before the ambassador hy simply flying there. He had a pair of huge wings made of eagle feathers, fastened them to his body, and then, in the presence of thousands of people, began his flight from the wall of Stirling Castle. Instead of rising in the air, however, he fell to the ground and broke a leg The air navigator's excuse for his failure was that some cocks feathers had been mixed with the eagles plumes and these influenced the body earthward.

Six hundred officers of the army are now serving on detached service. Their loss is seriously felt in their regular commands, with the result that a number of the army organiza- tions are inadequately officered. An earnest effort is to be made by the military authorities to have congress remedy this condition of affairs by providing more officers, and General Bell, the chief of staff, will soon take up the matter, with view to recom- mending legislation for that pur- pose.

How the Sunshine Warns Us.

The effect of the suns rays is de-
termined by two circumstances the
length of time during which they act
continuously, and their direction.
When the sun is farthest from the
earth, as is the case in summer, it is
daily above the horizon for a much
longer time than it is. when nearest.
as at the winter solstice. This con-
tinsous action intensifies the heat,
and the nights being short but little
of the heat is given off during the
suns absence. In summer again. the
suns rays reach us in more vertical
direction, and the days being longer
than the nights more heat is absorbed
than radiated In winter, the sun as
cending to less elevation, the rays
reach us more obliquely, and the days
become much shorter, the result is
that more heat is radiated than abb
sorbed. The earth is equal in mag
nitude to forty-nine such bodies as
the moon New York American.

For Driving Screw Eyes.

The amateur carpenter, whether
man or woman, has lost no time in
realizing the great possibilities of the
screw-eye. These things are capable
of a great number of uses, and if an
assortment of them is kept around
the house there is hardly day when
their convenience will not be prac-
tically demonstrated. Feminine fingers
are not always hardened enough to
drive them home, and, indeed, some
time the sturdier digits Of the mascu-
line are not sufficiently strong to ac-
complish this task, so that it is not
always possible to drive them into
the wall far enough to be substantial.
A time and labor-saving device for
accomplishing this work without UNI
due severity on the fingers has been
recently invented and it is shown in
the accompanying cut. 1t is supplied
with locking jaw which takes hold

cLEAN1NG SILK BLousEs.

Silk blouses can sometimes be
sponged with soap and water with
impunity in order to restore colors
which may have faded, but it is al
ways wisest to experiment on an odd
remnant of silk or on small piece
which is hidden under the waistline
before subjecting the whole of the
blouse to this treatment
If, however, it is evident that silk
will not stand an application of tepid
soapsuds, French chalk will often
have almost as good a result, saye
Woman's Life The chalk should be
spread somewhat thickly over the
surface of the silk and then covered
with a large piece of plotting paper.
when a weight should be placed on
the top and the blouse left for two
or three days, this pressing effectu-
ally removing dust stains, while
grease spots will likewise be elimin.
ated at the same time.

Glass Telegraph Poles.

At Grossalmerode, town near Cas-
sci, Germany, factory has recently
been established for the manufacture
Of glass telegraph and telephone
poles.
The glass mass Of which the poles
are made is strengthened by inter-
lacing and INTERVIEWING with strong
wire threads. One of the principal
advantages of these poles, it is said,
would be their use in tropical coun-
tries, where wooden poles are soon
destroyed by the ravages Of insects
and where climatical influences are
ruinous to wood. The Imperial Post
Department, which has control Of
the telegraph and telephone lines in
Germany, has ordered the use of these
glass poles on one if its tracts. Lon

A WHISKER THEORY
BY CHAMP CLARK.
Missouri Representative Cites
Two Boards, One Nine and the
Other Eleven Feet.

Some fellow recently made the
statement that he knew man who
had beard seven feet long. That's
no beard at all, said Champ Clark,
Congressman from Missouri, and he
wrote letter to the Washington
Post, telling about a man in Pike
County who had beard as Is a
beard. The public not being fully
satisfied, the Congressman from Pike
has come on to Washington two
weeks earlier than he intended, to
see about it.
He gave out an interview on the
subject, and if any one further ques-
lions that Missouri produces the
greatest whiskers in the world, the
matter will be brought up in Con-
gress and special investigation
asked for.
Judge Elijah Gates, said Mr..
Clark, has a beard nine feet and a
half long. He lives in my county,
just few miles from my house, and
/ know him very well. But his
whiskers are not any special curiosity
because there is man few miles
further down the road who has a
beard eleven and half feet long.
This mans name is Valentine Tap
ley. / know him very we'll.
"a curious thing about these fell
lows, and that makes me think a
mans character can be told by his
whiskers. Now, Elijah Gates is a
pugnacious kind of a fellow, not a
scrapper or brawler, you under
stand, but of stubborn type of man.
His whiskers are right stiff, like
horses name. But Valentine Tap
ley, his are soft as silk, and Tapley
is mild hammered and thoroughly
agreeable, one of those unanimous
sort of fellows.
"Of course, those fellows do not
wear their boards down all the time.
They couldn't do it without tying a
knot in them like horses tail. But
they wear 'em inside their vests in
silk bags. Old man Tapley takes
his out once or twice year for the
benefit of his neighbors. Old man
Elijah Gates takes his out, too, but
only to comb it. He has one of these
sugar-tree combs made for it and
he combs it with that"
Mr.. Clark has no suggestion of
hirsute adornment on his classic face.
No one is, therefore, able to read his
character from his beard If he had
one, though, it would probably not
be soft and silken like Valentine Tap
ley's, for Mr.. Clark is not unani-
nous.

on at Dannemora, N Y, where the
Clinton prison is located The aim
has been to produce sign board that
would be proof against the weather
at all seasons of the year, and to this
end the boards themselves are made
of seasoned one-ineh white pine, well
protected with paint, the letters being
painted on in black on a white back
ground, and are legible at distance
of forty to fifty feet, depending on
the size of the sign. The painting is
thoroughly weatherproof and the
signs will last indefinitely. The
boards are mounted on Wrought-iron
standards, heavily coated with white
lead as rust preventative, and to
which they are attached by bolts and
nuts. They are made in variety Of
styles and sizes, such as those shown
by the accompanying illustration, de-
pending on the nature of their ioca-
ton, and are sold at nominal prices.
The sign shown by the cut is the
largest size made and provides twelve
different distances, the two parts be-
ing at right angles to another, this
being variable according to the angle
of the crossroads. From The Auto
