range all of her New York city engage

Latham Failed to Cross.

Hubert Latham made a daring, but un-
successful attempt July 10 to cross the
English channel. Latham got away
splendidly under perfect conditions from
the top OF the cliff at Sangatte and had
covered about half the distance, at an
average height of five hundred feet, when
he was obliged to descend on account OF
the motor giving out. He was picked UP
By the torpedo boat destroyer Harpon
and taken back to Calais.
Following on Latham's failure NJ.
Bleriot and Count de Lambert announced
their intention to make the attempt. The
feverish haste of his rivals induced
Latham to make hasty preparations for
a second attempt.
His machine a new Antoinette, has been
put in shape with the utmost celerity. 1t
was Lathanl's intention to make another
trial Monday if weather conditions were
favorable.
Smallest Airship Made.

BIRDS AS MEMS SAVIORS

DIR Charles A. Babcock. originator
of the bird day movement in the
schools, which, by legislative enact
ment. has been taken up by the
schools Of twenty-one states. drew a
gruesome picture of life ON the earth
without bird life at the East Side set
tlement house, in New York recently,
He based his predictions upon the
fact that with man added to the nat
ural enemies of birds their extinction
would soon follow.
with passing reference to the peril
of this state from the gypsy moth
which is advancing from New Eng
land, Dr. Babcock drew a picture Of a
man living on small oases harassed
by a crawling creature, with his har-
vests and food gone.
1T should be realized" he said.
that without birds to hold in check
the insects, vegetable life would soon
cease and life for man would become
impossible upon the earth. Birds are
natures check TO the amazing power
of insects TO Increase If insect life
were allowed free course it would soon
ovorpower plant life, and therefore ami
NAL life. including that of man. would
be impossible. This is an astounding
conclusion, but it is the conclusion of
science
III the birds were gone. very soon
the leaves would disappear from the
trees, and the limbs would be festoon-
ed with the webs Of catcrpillars or
with masses of their nests. These
would move from tree to tree, increas-
ing by the million as they advanced
In the course OF a few seasons there
would be no trees.
I'm the fields other species OF in
sects would destroy the grass and the
grain and all vegetable life, and the
ground would be as &c a sea Of de-
lvouring mouths had passed over it.
Man, by his utmost efforts, could
preserve only small Gases in this des-
ert for a time. Then these would b'
overwhelmed and man himself would
disappear"

FLED FROM AUTOMOBILISTS

A good story Of motoring in Norway
is going the rounds. In many parts
of this Land of the Midnight Sun motor
cars are unknown and, thanks to the
mountains. are likely TO remain so, says
the Philadelphia Record.
In the district in question a rumor went
forth that a car was coming. and the
autohrties actually went TO the trouble
OF issuing notices. which were posted
about far and wide, warning all sundry
that such was the case. Not only were
the people cautioned to give the car a
wide berth, but they we're told to remove
their animals intosafe quarters.
So It happened that the car was driven
through desc ate land. much 10 the

MUST SHOW INGENUITY

Motorists, are as a rule, a resource
ful aggregation and have become so
of necessity. In the early days OF the
sport when machines were crude and
not so we'll understood all sorts of
troubles were encountered. To-day
IL is different, cars have reached a
sSge Of perfection. where little trou-
BE results provided, of course, a. rea-
sonable amount of care is bestowed on
a machine. Tires still do and prob
ably win continue TO be the one hoo
doc of thes port. Time and again
a motorist has been tied up to the side
OF the road with tires down and out
and long way from a garage. where
new one might be purchased. But
where there is a will there is a way
and all sorts Of methods have been
resorted to by the stricken ones to
reach home in a down and out tire.
One hears now and then Of a tire
being filled with hay, but It remained
for a St Louis driver to go one bet
ter. His tire blew out near a farm
house. He astonished the farmer by
saying he wanted to buy peck or two
Of oats. to feed his automobile. This
he poured into the tire through the
blowout hole. He did not stop to
remove the tire. When it was we'll
filed but not packed. he put on a
shoe. Opening the cap on the stem
he poured water into the tire, turning
the tire around from time to time tc
insure a thorough mixture. The wa

The result was a perfectly filled tire
that was in every way equal 10 the

WONDERFUL DOG EXPLORER

A Wonderful record as a traveller
has been achieved by Dash the smooth
haired fox terrier which accompanied
Or. NJ. a. stein, the archaeological eX-
plorer. throughout his great journey Of
ten thousand miles. undertaken on be-
half Of the Indian government,
through Central Asia into China and
back, says the London Daily Mail
Though the aggregate of the marches
amounted roughly to ten thousand
miles in two years and eight months,
the actual distance covered by Dash
taking into account his canine habits
of progression, may be estimated at
well over twenty thousand miles Dash
made that journey on foot practically
the whole way, except when he went
pony back" for short distances at
times of great heat. When in the
Taklamakan Desert, Dash. like the rest
of the party, had his water allowances
strictly limited. II came from the sup
ply carried on camels in the form OF
ice
Dash went over mountain passes as
high as 10000 feet above sea level
Throughout the journey the dog kept
we'll and his menu was made up OF
scraps from the camp larder. Each
night he slept in DR.. STEMS tent, and
on occasions proved himself very
useful watchdog. on the high Thibe-
tan uplands his chief recreation waS
chasing wild doniScys. yaks and the
liike. He managed XIII several hares
and bring them in to supplement the
store Of food.
Upon many journeys along the Indian
Northwest frontier Dash has also been
the comradc OF his master, and he has
probably seen far more of the world
than most people. He has true British
terrier blood in his veins. although
India was his birthplace. The dog is
now in quarantine after having come
