Ath0I Club House Burned.

The Athol Club House, built by c.
E. Webster and leased by the Kansas
City Gun Club, was destroyed by fire
early Friday morning. The origin
OF the fire appears to be a mystery.
Mr.. Webster's residence adjoined II
on the east and was occupied by his
family. The club house proper was
vacant. So far as learned no insur-
ance was carried. This club house
erected In the past few years, was
one OF the finest and best equipped
for the purpose in the state and cost
several thousand dollars. 1t was
not a paying venture and 1t is ex.
tremely doubtful if 1t is ever rebuilt.
Considerable property, consisting
OF guns and ammunition, belonging to
members Of the club, was burned.

AGED WATCHMA
 POLLS ROBBERS

NEW YORK.--An aged watchmau's 's 'aithful performance of his duties even when death was threatened. prevented robbery early today. which, if it had )ecn successful, those familiar with he case say would have caused a sensation almost as great as that which followed the footing Of the Manhattan rank many years ago
 Richard F. Grey. watchman in the ofty Century building on Broadway, rear the center of the financial district vas the hero He is now in the hospi.a uffering from wounds which he re- ceivcd in desperate fight against two robbers, who attacked him while le was making his rounds on the ninth floor of the building after midnight
 Although 60 years old. Grey made a most determined fight against his as- Saiants, and it was not until he had been battered until almost unconscious, that he was overcome. Even then he refused to reveal the hiding place of the keys of the hundreds of offices in the great building. In their despera- lion the robbers chloroformed the old man, laying him on the floor and then began search for the missing keys.

AERIAL ANNEXATION
 IN GERMANY

| the forward end of the envelope gra- | dually collapsing through the escape of gas, thus presenting a concave sur | face to the direction in which the bal
 loon is stcercd and preventing further
 progress
 On the other hand. the Zeppelin, even after the escape ofa considerable quan- tity of gas retains it's shape and is able | to proceed. Count Zeppelin asserts that he can attain q velocity of about
 43 miles an hour, with the motor work | ing at full pressure. His further trials
 arc awaited with the greatest interest l for with such a speed, according to me neurological averages, which show that ninety days out of every hundred the wind does not exceed 30 miles an hour. 1 it would be possible to ascend and navigate against 1t almost daily. The navigablc balloon would be able to pass over an enemy's camp without running much danger, owing to its | construction in twelve or thirteen com partmcnts, each entirely separate from | tho others, even should each compart mcnt he pierced by shot and collapse. the metal envelope would not change its shape, and the voyage could be continued
 The other dirigibles do not possess this advantage. The military balloon Is built on the lines of the Patria, the envelope being composed of only one compartment. The balloon at present in use, which contains 1S.O0O cubic me- ters of gas, is intended only as a model for larger airships, in case the au- thorties decide to adopt the system.
 The Parseval balloon, which has shown such wonderful power of navi- gatiou in calm weather. has some of the same disadvantages as the mill tary balloon. In the envelope con- taining the gas are fixed two balloon- cites, one in front, the other in the rear, which, when one or the other Is pumped full of air by the motor. changes the equilibrium and permits the balloon to ascend or descend in oblique directions. The envelope holds 2SOO meters of gas.
 The only serious German experi- menter until now with flying machines "heavier than the air is Herr Kari Jathod of Hanover. He has construct ed a remarkable aeroplane composed of six sails "a horizontal steering sail. horizontal mainsail, and two vertical steering tails" wind propeller and a basket or platform carrying q 12- horsepower motor. The equilibrium of the acroplanc is maintained by the horizontal steering sail, whOch controls the raising or lowering of the forepart of the machine. Should the motor cease working from accident or other cause, the malnsail Is large and strong enough Jo act as a parachute.

SOUR MILK DIET
 IS LATEST FAD

CHICAGO-Thcb belief that butter milk is hcalthful drink in both pop ular and scientific Buttermilk drink CTS would probably keep on drinking whether the scientists said it was bad or good At the same time they are glad to know their choice of a drink is scientific In the East has risen a sour milk fad" There was not enough buttermilk to go round, and then there was the milk from which sweet cream is skinned that had to be disposed of. A few cnterprising in- dividuals concluded to sour the skim med milk and put f on the market. They have been getting 25 cents pint for it because 1t is a fad"
 Leon Haim, bacteriologist of the Cornell university dairy laboratory, ap- proves of sour milk as a drink and tells why 1t is healthful. In the first place he shows that there are healthful bac- teria as well as disease bearing. Ii has been demonstrated that animals and human beings cannot live without in- testinal bacteria. The important con sideration in the nature of the bac- tera, for there are numberlesS kinds, perhaps. Sour milk is a pure culture of tactic acid bacteria. and they are of the hcalthful sort. The more of them in the alimcntary canal the better. Such bacteria are formed in milk when it sours and they increase in number. Gastric juice of the stomach does not kill them but they pass right on. In fact, the tactic acid fcrmcnt k par tial digestion before the milk is swal- lowed. Lactic acid bacteria are enc mics of other bacteria and hence they are known as healthfuI Experiments

 gists, de Freudcnrech and Coum, to show that tactic acid bacteria drive out typhus, cholera or putrefactive cul- lures, when both kinds gre inoculated at the sam" time in sterilized milk.

Raw or boiled sweet milk requires from six to seven hours to digest while sour milk requires but three or four hours. Mir Main tells of the use of sour milk in oldcn times and other lands Moth ing is older than thc use of sour milk, and nothing seems newer than the ap- plications which have been recently made of it. Mention of sour milk is made in the Bible, in the history of the Greeks and Romans Inquiry on the sut<rct seems to show that civi- lzed people are the only ones to use raw or boiled milk, while sour milk is almost the only kind used outside the pale of our civilization Sour milk Is found to be in use from the remot- est time in Egypt ta" Holy Land Bul- garia Hindustau, Africa Syria and all the ottoman Empire.

BERLIN. Oct 6-Thc science of lerial navigation in Germany has reached point where many of the most prominent investigators are ask ng themselves in which direction they shall pursue their experiments. The problem of steering is satisfactorily 'olvcd, but there remains the important question of the conquest of the con rary currents of air. and this raises he issue between the advocates of Tighter than the air" and heavier than the air"
 Balloons inflated with gas are gen. 'rally regarded here as having nearly if not quite, attained the final stage If their possibilities, which. as is con- tended, although marvellous in com oarison with the position of only five years ago still leaves much to be achieved before the air can be said to bc mastered.
 All three systems, tn" rigid, the icui-riGid and the flexible. represent Ing respectively. the stccrablc balloon pr Count Zeppelin. the German aero- laut; the military balloon, and that of
 Iajor von Parsrval have been and are still being tested. All have given evil lcnce of the fact that in light winds md otherwise favorable weather they ,rcat facility. Not one of them how aver, has on any occasion vcntured nto the air when strong wind was blowing. for the good reason that their tc"rsmau are aware that their weak motive power would not permit pro- ;rcSsiou
 The greatest speed attained by any pf thrm-and this applies also to the Trench balloons-has not exceeded, in ound figures, 2S miles an hour, and at hat rate in such wind they would pc driven backward. Even the Zep- oclln, which is credited with a speed f B or 34 miles an hour, would do title more than hold it's own.
 As to form, the cigar shaped main tains it's flavor but the manner of construction, on which it is argued de- bends the capacity of the balloon to remain in the air. is varied. In Zeppe- lins' balloon the envelope is entirely of aluminium, covered with silk and rubber. In the military airship the lower portion of the main body of the envelope is metal covered with silk and rubber. the ends and the upper portion being of ordinary balloon ma terial. Parseval's balloon is entirely composed of flexible material similar to that used in spherical balloons.
