SPY BALLOON IS ALARM OF
 GERMANY
Strict Law Will Be Enacted to Forbid ASCenSionS, Under Penalty of Being Fired Upon By Artillery,
Especial Cable to Review.) By Walter Dunkirk.

BERLIN. Aug. 17.-Germany is SC alarmed at the development of dirigi- ble balloons and airships that she pro poses to enact set of rigid laws to restrict their use in the Empire. Spying on military works and forti- fications is the chief danger that it is proposed to guard against. The sug- gested law will make a foreign airship sailing over German territory liable to be fired on and it's occupants treat ed as spies.
 No private person will be allowed to own an airship in Germany with out a special license, and the govern ment will monopolize the right to build airships. All private airships will be confiscated and all foreign air. ships deported on the day that the proposed law is enacted.
 Ordinary non-dirigible balloons will also come under the law. Persons making ascents in such balloons must notify the authorities in ad- vance, a permit and furnish particu- lars of the voyage on landing. The authorities may forbid any ascent, and search any balloon for suspicious instruments. etc. Private balloons

That alcohol is consumed by most of the greatest English scientists, in cluding those who are experts on the relationship Of alcohol and health, was proved by Sir James Criehton Browne, the famous mental and ner- yous specialist. in remarkable speech he made at the annual dinner of the Medico-Phycholol associa- tions.
 Sir James said: we have at this table many of the highest authorities in the country on the alcohol ques- tion, and in order to ascertain how far they have adopted the extreme view on the subject have sought the assistance of the hotel manager.
 "Of S4 diners only per cent have declined alcohol altogether. and 94 per cent have partaken of alcohol in some form. the large majority in sew eral forms

 "1n view of such facts it is fake, or obsession, or gross hyberbole to speak of alcohol as being deadly poison.
 Those persons who declare alcohol to be a deadly poison should also state that we carry in our bodies more deadly poisons or toxins. But these human poisons are harmless nay, beneficial in their proper place,

SpOok- shooting is the latest society," craze. Now that "Tout Londres" has gone north for mountain air ana grouse-shooting, or sought rest and quiet in ancient country houses, the haunted grange" is in great request as a vacation home.
 The new game has the interest of psychical research without too much ahstruse science about it. All it re- quires is much patience and strong nerves. The spook-hunter occupies the haunted chamber at nights, lies awake, and waits for the manifesto tions. What he sees and shears he then reports in full detail to the other people engaged in the sport.
 Country houses more frequently provide spooks than do London houses; where indeed the majority of the ghosts seen are faked manifes- tations at "seances." But in many old historic mansions in the remote districts-especially in Scotland there are apparitions galore. The English Lake district is said 70 be haunted by "myriads of ghosts" and some of the best known haunted houses are Berry Pomeroy Castle in DeYonshire, Fowls Castle, Cullaby Castle, Bisham. Abbey, Oult0n iiouse, and Ashley Hall Many of the hauat- ed castles are rented by Americans. who have taken up the Eew anuse- ment of spook-huntinge Sttn eaihusi- asm.

LEOPOLD SOON AT THE END OF
 HIS ROPE
England and America Will Bring the Congo Question to a Head and Right Wrongs of the Natives.
Special Cable to Review. } By Robert RrOderick-


 LONDON, Aug. liking Leopold Of Belgiums blood and rubber trade in the Congo is likely to receive a se- we're check from England and Amer ica before the end of the year. The Liberal Government here intends to have the Congo question brought to head, and the wrongs of the natives redressed. With the support of the United States, England will insist that Belgium furnishes sIarantees to reform the system of government and the horrible rubber trade, O. abandon the territory.
 England has great pull over Bel gium in the possession of territory through which the rubber trade finds its main outlet. She will be able to use this, and her position as one of the signatOries of the treaty by which King Leopold gained his despotism in the Congo, as levers to force reforms out of Belgium.
 In Belgium there is a strong organ izatsDn working for Congo reform. This is the Catholic party in the Cham Der of Deputies, with powerful allies in the Jesuit College at Ghent.

Only crippled girls are employed in an electric lamp factory which has just been set going in the East End under the patronage of the Lord May or of London
 Lord Mayor TrelOar has always been the guardian angel of LondOn's Crip- pied children, raising funds every year for their Christmas dinner, and brightening their lives in many wars. This new factory, however, is a com mercial enterprise as well 4s an aid to poor and helpless girls. ForIy ut them are now engaged lesrliHg tbc trade. and it is expected that when the business is in full swing, there will be 300 crippled girls employed. each earning g. a week and her heals.
 An important new invention is tO be manufactured at the crippled FITS factory. It is the use of ename!!e l copper wire instead of platinum in electric lamps-the invention uf a young Englishman, George Calvert. This means a revolution in electric lamp manufacture. as platinum is now sold at $40 an ounce.

ROME, Aug. IT, Italy's losses in art treasurers are getting serious, and American collectors are held respon- sible for the illicit export of priceless work of art The la est case which has aroused Italian indignation is the disappearance from Montecatini. a health resort near Florence, of three beautiful pieces of sculpture by Luca Bella DObbia.
 These works which are exquisite examples of the great Florentine mas ter's art, are believed to have been smuggled out of Italy and sold to wealthy collectors.
 The Italian government is endeav0r- ing to trace the missing sculptures. Meanwhile there is a vigorous news paper campaign in favor af a severe code of punishment which will make the export of Italy's works of art d dangerous business.
