There is disposition among
writer's of fiction to be more free III
their prophecies of the wonders that
the future has in store for the human
race than are the scientists who work
to their conclusions more slowly and
from the standpoint of accuracy
Nevertheless, the fact must not be
overlooked that many of the predic-
tons of fiction writer's have come true
in the course of human progress. In
the old days the story of Captain
Memo and his wonderful submarine
ship, the Nautilus, as depicted by the
great French romancer Jules Verne
was regarded as a peculiarly origina
and daring flight of a gifted magma
ton, and yet today nearly every
government in the world owns sub
marine vessels with which nearly
everything that the Nautilus is de-
scribed as doing is done and which II
nearly every way are quite as wonder.

A strong effort is being made by the
Maine Society, Sons of the Revolution,
to ascertain the burial places Of Revo-

than 10000 men went into the Revolu-

State of Maine. So far about 400
graves have been located and re-

stone inscriptions (where there is a
headstone), local name of the ceme-
terry and it's location in town or city;
where there is no headstone, then To-

what we may sexpect in the way OF
aerial travel and transportation IN the
years to come. He makes the point
that the expense Of this method OF
transportation will be comparatively
small, inasmuch as the original cost
of a balloon will be vastly less than
the cost at the present time of a good
automobile. There will be no need
either of fuel or oil and every man
can be his own engineer. He figures
that hundred-mile trip. including
every item OF expense, can be made
in dirigible balloon for about $50. IT
is fortunate for the lieutenant that
his prophecies of the future come in
this day and generation. The recent
record made by Count Zeppelin of
Germany has gone far to convince the
world that the age Of aerial naviga-
ton is near at hand, if, indeed, it Is
not already here.

him and insisted on sharing his labor

away walked and stopping when he
stopped: always close to him, alert
that everything was right. The dog
left his home and friends to take up
this.-his life work. He wanted to be
with the Waterman and his former
master gave him up and let him have
his way. When A. F. Hall was watch
