Picks Flaw. In the story.

A thrilling narrative which was pub
lished recently by well-known maga-
zine told how the author was chased
into a tree by tiger and there found
a python awaiting him.
The tiger began to climb the tree
and while the python was engaged with
parrot the author crawled along a
sloping branch. When the python re-
turned to the place where it had left
the writer 1t found in his stead the
tiger which, according to the story,
was almost a full-grown maneater.
1t then describes how the python
seized and strangled the tiger, and af-
ter crushing its body into pulp was in
the act Of swallowing 1t when the au.
thor, having descended the tree and re
gained his rifle, shot 1t,

where vegetation of all kinds makes a
wonderful growth in single season.
This particular pumpkin vine grew
along the roadside near Los Angeles
and completely covered the trunk and

The increased responsibilities OF gov
ernment which will come when aerial
locomotlon has been perfected have
been to an extent set forth by Captain
Ferber Of the French army, who ex-
horts his country to diligence in pro-
vision against the perils of the future.
Captain Ferber shows most conclusive
" that with aerial fight an easy ac-
complishment the energies of the gov
ernment must be redoubled to protect
society against the smuggler, the anar-
chlst, the criminal, whatever his pc
culiar sphere Of action. He explains
most lucidly that an aerial patrol Will
be necessary to guard the frontier
against those who would evade the Gus
toms duties by skimmlng over the tops
of fortifications and other impediments
along the frontier, and that the police
must be provided with flying machines
duly equipped with weapons of offense
In order to intercept and embarrass
the smugglers aforesaid. Services Of
an aerial police will be needed also
to regulate the speed limit of travellers
as we'll as to prevent anarchistic gen
tlemen in arships from sailing leisure
ly over a town and dropping bombs re-
gardless Of consequences. Patrols will
be employed likewise to check undesir-
able immigration and to perform other
duties heretofore connected with their
calling on the earth's surface. The
scene of operation will be shifted, but
the duties will be practically the same.
In view Of these requirements 1t would
almost appear that the benefits to be
derived from mastery Of the air are
fairly offset by the inconveniences, for,
unhappily, the criminal as we'll as the
virtuous citizen profits by the advance
ment of science And what would II
avail citizen of Chicago If, returning
from the theater, he Is held up 500 feet
above the corner of North State and
Erie streets, with the absolute certainty
that the policeman is at the other enc
of his aerial beat or Is refreshing him
self elsewhere? And to patrolmen ant
mounted police must be added flyinl
constabulary, provision which ha'
not been noted in the new charter, bu
which is a foregone necessity, regard
less of expense. In short, all forces o.
protection must be doubled, whethe
applied to a standing army, the Gus
| toms officers, or the municipal polio
force. In view Of Captain Ferber'
warning and the unmistakable justic
of his conclusions, the responsibilitie
of the future are not likely to reassur
a tlmid human being. To Paul's ia
nous list of perils, of waters, robbers
heather, city, wilderness, ETC., etc
must now be added perils of the air an
the accompanying horrors recounted
Even Paul did not apparently realiz
how comparatively fortunate he was.

more threatening to-day than ever be-

OF an approaching crisis in Japanese

DOG MEAT IS NOT so BAD.
First Choice of the Eskimo and oi
Many Indian Tribes.

Many Indian Tribes.
Last year over 1900 dogs were
slaughtered for food In Prussia. Prob
ably one could eat dog from choice
any more than one could be cannibal
from choice. But many Indian tribes
have eaten dog for generations. The
Eskimos eat dogs when they can
catch them. Arctic explorers from all
countries, looking for the pole, have
eaten dog without compunction and
on several occasions have eaten their
comrades of human kind. Dog meat
is sweet like mule meat, and the best
part of 1t Is not next to the bone, as
is the case with other meats, but
that lying next to the skin, which must
be baked to a crisp.

the Nez Perces, prefers dog to all 9th
er meats. His second choice always
was grizzly and his third Rocky noun.

We are In the Philippines Are we

time to fix for 1t, 1t Is foolish always
to play the ostrich. There Is one way

against them or any one of them and
create navy that can drive an enemy

abundance of logic In 1t.
