STARVING ESKIMO STAYS HIS CHILD.

st. Johns, N. F.-Tragedy in the
icy wastes of the Far North formed
the burden of the news brought to
this port by the Hudson Bay Com
pany's steamer Adventure, which ar
rived with the crew of the lost Dun
dee whaler Paradox, in the story OF
an Eskimo, driven TO cannibalism by
starvation, who ate his child and shot
several neighborswh attempted sum-
mary punishment.
The Paradox, one OF the feet Of
Dundee whalers, met the fate of her
companion ship. the Snowdrop, which
was crunched in the merciless jaws Of
the ice foes off Bafan Lard early in
August year ago. The crew, with
scanty provisions, made their perilous
way over the broken ice toward the
mainland and were picked up by the

The Greater Character.

A man, no matter how capable,
how theoretically wise or how singly
successful, can find little satisfaction
in isolation, for there is no glamor Of
romance in his career. Some one has
said that the kingdom of romance be-
longs to David, not Samson-to
David with his loving, generous,
friendly nature, for whom three men
went in jeopardy of life to bring him
drink of water-and all for love Of
him.

the Alps and made long voyages
against adverse conditions in all sorts
of weather. His airship Is larger than
the steamship of thirty years ago and
more speedy than those that are now
crossing the ocean in record breaking
time. I look to see airships of the
Zeppelin type half mile in length.
They will not come down to the earth
any more than the Mauretania will
anchor in shallow stream, but will
be anchored up in the air, possibly
thousand feet or more.
Explosives will not be dropped
down, as you could not hit tug with
an apple from the Brooklyn Bridge,
which is only 100 feet high. Electri-
cal guns will be used, of course, and
heavy ones like our present powder
guns.
"Ships at anchor will send up bal
looms or kites to carry special illum-
inants, and in time of war the heavens
all around will be brilliantly lighted
with special forms Of rockets.
'Men-of-war will be protected best
by special armament for attacking air
craft. The airship, however, will rap
idly develop as peaceful device and
will soon be as much necessity Of
modern civilization as the automobile.
''The attraction Of gravitation, be-
ing a condition of matter, may soon
be comprehended in such a way that
the repulsion which some way or
some how balances attraction may be
utilized to mans advantage.

ship possible. Years ago the French
found that each horse power could
lift thirty-two pounds, so as much as
we develop our horse power below
this weight so much net lifting power
shall we gain.
But you asked me as to the mill
tary possibilities, continued Mr..
Nixon. I'VE are on the eve of ire
mendous and far-reaching change in
warfare. AS long ago as 1900 I
pointed out that soon thunderbolts
would be thrown. The significance
of news item published about a year
ago of a man receiving a shock which
nearly proved fatal while talking over
wireless telephone was not then
fully appreciated 1t would be posi-
bile at the present day to shock to
death every man on vessel at five
miles distance, but so far the impulse
cannot be projected at any one mark.
But direction and aiming will be mas
tered after while, and then thun-
derbolts will be thrown just as shells
are thrown now"

New York City. Lewis Nixon,
shipbuilder, graduate of the United
States Naval Academy and for several
years one of the chief constructors of
the American navy, fiouts the theory
that the airship in any of its forms
will become formidable war ma
chine.
Instead, Mr.. Nixon believes that
the death-dealing terror of the war of
the future will be the electric shock.
This conclusion has been forced
upon his judgment by careful study
of the subject of new war agencies
and by closely watching the manoeu-
vres of the Wright aeroplane as it
sailed up the Hudson and circled the
representatives of the worlds great
est navies.
can guard against the danger of ex-
plosiyes that might be dropped upon
them by airships by specially pre-
pared armor. He believes. though,
that sooner or later there will be per-
fected a gun or some other piece of
mechanism for hurting a thunderbolt
that will shock to death every man
aboard warship, irrespective Of it's
protection.
Il am convinced" said Mr.. Nixon
to reporter, that the thing could
be done now, but the mechanism is
so crude that the thunderbolt, or cleo
trio impulse, would kill the man who
should release it. as we'll as the en-
envy. It is possible, of course, that
some foreign nation already has per-
fected the necessary machine with
which to hurl this deadly bolt. I
hope, however, that it has not been
done. When the principle is mast
cred the result will make war so hor-
ribly destructive that the human race,
through the sheer force of natures
first law self-preservation - will
abolish war.

ing now on account of the fact of
what may grow from it. Possibly we
shall see them like swarms of giant

to occupy positions and to cut off
communications.
For purposes Of observation they
will be of great use. The helicopter.
owing to its smaller dimensions, seems
best adapted to such uses, especially
to be carried on men-of-war.
Insofar as / can see, the dirigible,
which will combine much that the
aeroplane is now proving out, is the
ship Of the future.
