the husbands of true, pure women.
Men are liars and hypocrites. l
have met married men who have
rigidly obeyed the letter of the

would be grounds for divorce. But
even these men have not hesitated
to talk and joke about intimate
home matters to other men, of
whom l was accepted as one. Their

If they knew how the husbands

Will Latest Aircraft Prove
Deadliest Weapon In War?

these be the war tales Of the twen-
tieth century, the last war tales
of the world?
John F. O'Rourke, one of the
best known constructing engi-
neers in the country, says the new
,aeroplane which he has invented
with the help of 10 French ex-
perts, and which will be shown to
the public in a few weeks, has all
of these awful possibilities.
The pilot can steer the machine
perfectly, he says, by a single lev
er. This lever can be pulled to
any point of the compass to
change the angle of the planes
sending the machine right or left
up or down.
If there is more than one pas
senger, they can move about with
safety, as balance can be restored
by quickly modifying the angles
of the wings. Heretofore, equilib-
rum has been maintained by
warping the planes. ri
Daniels, a Frenchman, is in
venting a new type of engine
which will weigh only two pounds
to each horsepower. The power
of the engine can be increased or
decreased by admitting much or
little gas to the cylinders.
O'Rourke claims that as his
aeroplane is now, it is an IRE
sistible war engine, and that il
will not be long before it could be
used against the enemy, with nc
casualties except among the enc
my. A pilot could be dispensed
with, as we shall soon know how
to direct it to the enemy's terri
tory by wireless electric waves.

"Night hung heavy over Port
Townsend. Miles out at sea, just
beyond the horizon, which had
been swept all day by the anxious
Americans, lay the 'Mongol, Jap
an-China's latest dreadnaught.
Admiral Chow Chow smiled the
Iimpenetrable smile of the orient,
as he saw the O'Rourke aero
plane rise from the deck. Up and
up it went, and on and on. 1t
reached the height of a mile as it
approached Port Townsend. At
this height it could not be seen or
heard in the black darkness over
head. Then the pilot, Chop In
JOY, turning the one lever, set the
planes so that the craft would
sink at an angle. This course
brought the aeroplane closest to
earth at the point where the city
meets the sea. Chop stopped the
engine, and the craft sank, sank
noiselessly, dropping explosives
into the city as it fell. The garri-
son rose in alarm, but when they
discovered the aeroplane, Chop
touched his lever to reset the
planes, started the engine, and
the craft sped upward and out
ward to where the 'Mongol' lay.
The American bullets followed it
wildly in vain.
Explosion followed explosion.
Stone walls were hurled in the
air. Americans were blown up
and crushed-flames swept over
the city. Amid the yells of men,
the shrieks of women, and the
crying of children, Port Townsend
passed away"
"a fleet of English aeroplanes
surprised the German squadron in

ser was the only ship left to bear
the news to Kiel. The German
cannon succeeded in destroying
only two of the twenty aeroplanes,
because of their great speed and
height. The English loss was 3;
the German, 10000"
Unnamed aeroplanes, operat-

camp in Indo China, dropped ex-
plosives upon and destroyed the
Chinese host which was marching
against it."

Blessing the Corn Fields"
Society Girl as Minnehaha

Maize, or Indian corn, was ven
Grated by the Indians who wove
a great series of legends about its
planting, growing and harvesting.
The Indian women were guar
dams of the cornfields, and after
each planting the made the
round of the fields alone at mid
night, dragging one of their gar
ments to outline a charmed circle.
A characteristic American dance
called the blessing of Fields"
has been developed by Miss
Eleanor T. Finn, young society
woman of Cleveland, o. Her
theme was taken from Longfel-
lows poetic version of the ancient
tale.
Once, when all the maize was
planted,
Hiawatha, wise and thoughtful,
Spake and said to Minnehaha,
To his wife, the Laughing Water;
"You shall bless tonight the corn
fields,
Draw a magic circle round them,
To protect them from destruction,
Blast of mildew, blight of insect.
sIn the night, when all is silence,
In the night when all is darkness,
Rise up from your bed in silence,
Walk around the fields you
planted,
Round the borders of the corn
fields,
ROBBED with darkness as a gar
ment.
"Thus the fields shall be more
fruitful,
And the passing of your footsteps
Draw magic circle round them,
So that neither blight nor mildew,
Neither burrowing worm nor in
sect,
Shall pass Ger the magic circle"
