Hare and Hounds in Skies

Aerial hare and hounds is the latest fad of the part of English society which is interested in aeronautics and the new. sport promises to become very popular with those who can afford to indulge in It.
 The first aerial race of this kind took place the other day at Hurlingharn. The Idea of the race was that the Hon. c. s. Rolls. wh oses balloon, the. Imp, was the smallest of those on the ground. should go away and. make a descent at whatever spot seemed ad- visable to the solitary occupant. The honor of the race was then to go to the competitor who succeeded in grounding his balloon nearest to the Imp.
 The hare" was chased by twelve balloons ptloted by some of the most prominent aeronauts in England. The race was pronounced charming and fascinating by any number of society ladies who took part or followed the course of the balloons in their autos across fences and fields.
 The Imp had the best of the race and only one of the balloons was at any time anywhere near It.

Tmmorality of stage.


 The Public Morality League which was recently. founded in Paris. has adopted strenuous measures to put an end to the increasing immortality of the stage here.
 The other night there were present a good many of the members of the league, including a number of promi- nent clergymen at the Theatre de Cluny. where a play of extremely rtsqus character was given. They sat quiet during the first two acts, but at the beginning of the third, one of the ministers arose, and. turning to the audience, which as usually is the case in theatres of this kind, consisted main ly of foreign visitors, mainly English and Americans, he cried: How can you sit here looking at such a disgrace ful exhibitionT"
 A general uproar followed and the manager came to the front holding the nozzle of a fire hose which he threa t. ened to turn on the. objectors. The clergymen, however. held their own for an hour. pelting the actors and actresses with bad eggs and tomatoes

The patience of the people 1oi Lon don. which is almost American, has at last given out and they have raised q protest against the tyranny of the mo- tor bus, but 1t is doubtful wnetneE tney viii Accomplish anything. at least for some time to come.
 The simple fact Is that people growl about motor busses yet use them De- cause they have practically no other alternative. The horse busses are 700 slow for the twentieth century ana the moderates strangle a sensible trolley service. The trolley car service IS tns only remedy against the drawoacks or the motor bus. ,,
 Proeressive municipalities here like in America have introduced trolley cars and are well satisfied and only London that always brides itself on tagging behind the times: Is afnicted with motor busses.

We have had a fairly representative selection of burglars and other crimi- rals here of late. but the typewriting 6 burglar is a novelty.
 He broke into flat in Toulouse the other night. helped himself to whatever valuables he could lay his hands on. and then left the following neatly type- written letter on a machine he found in the room:
 "Sir and Dear Colleague; I think by your untidiness that you are no lady. but untidiness means a busy man. So I congratulate you.
 T can see that you are a professional typewriter like myself and guessing that you were one looked into your box of papers for your keys and na- turalIy found them there.

In order to bring the organization or inc British navy more into line with the gtrategieal condttionss of today an innportaiep fsdEstFsb FsbaItie iene'ofoathe neet will be made early next year.
 The Channel fleet is tor be reduced from it's present strength Of fourteen battIeships and six armored cruisers, and the vessels withdrawn from It with some others added to them Will be con- stttuted into a new squadronf to De known probably as the North Sea Squadron and stationed onz the north of Scotland. ts5fTso E1AI
 The war base of the new fleet will be Cromarty Firth and as soon as Rosyth is ready that port will be- utilized as its store and repairing basei The strength of the North Seq squadron has not yet been decided on Abut 1t will probably include four battleships and four armored cruisers. It is not re- garded as impossible, however that 1t may be composed of armarsd cruisers only. 1 ff!a-
 The consritution of a squadron to guard the north about" route out of the North Sea has been advocated for some time. In the event of. hostilittes there would be only two possible ways for a foreign fleet to reach the open sea, one through the Straits of Dover and down the English Channel and, the other round the north of Holland.
 The first of these routes is already adequately guarded by the Nore diVis- ion of the Home fleet. by the Channel fleet and by the reserve divisions of the Home fleet which would be able to get to sea at least in part before any foreign heet after passing the Straits of Dover could get to the west of Ply mouth. The squadrons combined num- Der thirty-two battleshtps, fifteen arr
 VI f00 tor pedo boats and destroyers.
 It has long been argued that no for sign fleet attempting to reach the At lantic from the North Sea would try the Channel route and it is to be ready to give fight to an enemy trying to get around Scotland that the Admiralty has at last decided to form the new squad ron which will practically turn the North Sea into a mere clausum, which cannot be entered or left by any for eign fleet against the wishes of the British naval authorities.

papers. the committse to which the in- ventions of military interest Co the French Government are usually sub- mitted is about to conduct experiments with an electric quick firing gun. for which wonderful things are claimed.
 The gun, 1t is stated. is capable of discharging i,2oo projectiles a minute without the use of any powder or other explosive. The inventor is M. Pou- teaux. a Dion chemist and engineer.
 The new gun resembles the Maxim gun. It consists Of an electric motor, . reservoir for bullets and a tube about six feet long and one-third of an inch in diameter, open at both ends. The bullets have no cartridges attached and consist simply of pieces of metal. They are lifted electrically from the reser- voir to the tube, on reaching which the firing current" comes into play and hurls them from the tube. The dis charge of bullets continues automati- cally until the reservoir is emptied.
 M, Pouteaux maintains great se- crecy as to his invention and will only say at present that 1t Is based on the utilization of poiyphase currents of relatively high frequency.

the division of information of the de-
partment of commerce and labor,

services of postmasters and rural car
riers as an adjunct to the employment
work of the division.
The postmasters will be required to
send out through the carriers to farm
ers and others on the various routes
tributary TO their offices. return pos
tai cards, prepared by the division of
information. that will contain instruc-
tions how to secure help from among
immigrants. The cardc will contain

would you do with it: Uncle Sam
will have about that much paper cur
rency on hand, but he doesn't know eX-
actly what 10 do with it: he will not
be able to spend it-at least, not until
there's another financial panic-and in
the meantime he is worried as to just
where and how he can keep it safe,
where thieves can not break through
and steal. The new emergency bills,
of which the =. 10 and 20 dollar de-
nominations vill be ready for circula-
ton by July LIST, will make an awful
big pile, and treasury officials are non
plussed as to what to do with the mon
ey when It is printed. The law provides
that it shall be kept in reserve at the
various sub-treasuries to allow of
quick distribution in time of panic,
but none of the sub-treasuries can find
space to accommodate its quota.
Therefore. the authorities see no way

additional vaults at Boston. Chicago.

ICE CREAM IMPURE
Chicago Has Organized a

the latest novel development In Chi
cGgo's war against disease. After
this week the picturesque old hockey
pokey vender with his gaudy. oil
cloth covered push cart filled with
watery ice cream will no longer be
seen on the streets of this city doing
out his wares to the boys and girls OF
the tenement districts and gathering
in their pennies in return. The Chi
cago Board of Health, through its
head, DR.. Evans. has declared that the
innocent looking penny ice cream"
contains many rapid. restless germs
and is a serious cause Of mortality
during the hot summer months. So
Food Commissioner Koehler and his
Ice Cream Squadron" will ransack
the rendezvous of the offenders and
put an end to their trade. The cam
paign is based upon two new milk
laws which contain clauses against
adulterated milk products which are
shown to contain the deadly tubercu-
lar germ, against which, in all its
forms. Chicago is now waging a war
of determination. The penny soda
water" man is also included under tbs
