ROOSEVELT ON SENTIMENT.

Insists He Used Right Word In His
Egyptian Situation Speech.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who was
recently honored with the degree of
Ii. D. by Cambridge university in
England, has written a letter in reply
to correspondent who requested him
to substitute the word sentiment" for
"sentimentality," which he used in his
address at the guildhall in London the
sther day when the freedom of the city
was conferred upon him.
Mr.. Roosevelt in his speech was an
slyzing British rule in Egypt. Britain,
be declared, had given Egypt the best
government the country had had in
1900 years. but in certain vital points
It had erred. Those who have to do
with unciviiZed peoples, especially ia
natical peoples he said, must remem-
Der that in such a situation as that
which faces you in Egypt weakness,
timidity and sentimentality may cause
infinitely more harm than violence and

MOTOR SLEDGE MAY END
TRIALS OF POLAR QUEST.
Goal by Aid OF Novel Mod
ern Invention.

The most pertinent feature OF the
British antarctic expedition under Cap
tain Robert Scott, which sailed recent
~ and expects TO reach the south pole
in December. 1911, is the motor sledge.
Captain Scott admits that the main
object of his expedition is to reach
the south pole and obtain for the Brit
fish empire the honor of that achieve
ment." In an interview on his plans
he said:
1.-The problem of reaching the south
pole from wintering station is one of
transport. The distance TO be covered
there and back is about 1900 miles.
The time at disposal in single season
is about 100 travelling days. An aver
age of ten miles a day can be easily
maintained by men. provided adequate
transport arrangements are made.
There are three means by which the
traction for heavy sledge loads can be
provided-viz. ponies. dogs and mo-
tors-and each must be considered not
only with regard TO capacity of work,
but also with respect to the changes
in the nature of the track.
"The motor sledge is new develop
promising means of polar transport
AS a result of two years experiments
4 motor sledge has been evolved which
has undergone satisfactory trials on
the SHOWS of NORWAY A motor was
taken on Mr. ShackIeton'S recent expe-
dition, and it is instructive to note that
1t was found possible to run 1t in the
lowest temperatures. Its use on pro-
longed journey was prohibited only by
the fact that its wheels were net suffi-
cient to support it on the soft snow of
the barrier.
"The plan for the journey to the
south pole from King Edward VII.
Land includes the use of the three
means of sedge traction described.
Ponies will be taken in sufficient num-
bers to insure a thoroughly adequate
amount of food being taken to the
base Of the glacier. dog team with
| relay of men Will transport the loads
| over the glacier surface, and a picked
party of men ard dogs will make the
| final dash across the inland ice sheet"
The motor sledges have stood salts

made by Captain Scott himself. On
der the runners of the sledge passes
an endless chain fitted with spuds and
patterns. The appearance Of the
sledge in motion is very curious. The

The $50 Plaster.

There is a good opportunity for
some physician to write learned dis
sertation upon the medical properties
OF fifty dollar bills. About a week
ago merchant in Middleton
on retiring for the night left
some bills lying on top of
the dresser He had a lame back
and some time during the night he
asked his wife to prepare a porous
plaster. After heating the plaster his
wife brought it into the dark room
and accidentally dropped it on the
dresser. When she picked it up she
did not notice that one of the bills,
$50 note, had become attached to the
business side of the plaster. Her hus-
band applied the plaster to his back
and kept it there several days. OF
course he missed the bill, but all
searching proved futile. until, upon re-
moving the plaster, the bill was found
sticking to it.
AS 1t was found impossible to re-
move the bill from the plaster, the
plaster with the bill was sent to the
treasury department with the request
to exchange the bill for new one.
Strange to say, the lame back was
cured as effectively as If the plaster
had been in actual contact with the
mans back.

BOMBS FROM AERoPLANE.

United States Government to Test Air

Whether the aeroplane has reached
such state of perfection as to be
used as an instrument of warfare is
to be determined by the United States
government in series of experiments
to be made at Chickamauga park. near
Chattanooga. Tenn. at the military
tournament to be held by troops OF the
United States army and national
guardsmen from several states from
June 20 to "a. inclusive.
This announcement was made re-
Gently by Charles *. Hamilton, the
aviator. who said that he had been en-
gagged to conduct the aerial expert
ments for tie war department. Mr..
Hamilton will use a Curtiss machine
and will drop 800 pounds Of nitro
glycerin projectiles from his biplane
while going at fifty-five miles an hour
and while a quarter OF a mile in the
air.
The dirigible balloon sold to the gov
eminent by Captain Thomas s. Bald
win will also be used in the expert
ments. The tests are for the purpose
of determining if Notifications can be
destroyed by dropping bombs from the
aeroplanes while floating at such dis
lance over a fort as to be out of reach
of the big guns.
Dummy Notifications will be arrang-
ed. and. according to the plans said to
have been agreed upon by the war de
partment officials. Mr.. Hamilton. while
flying at the speed at which an ex-
press train goes. will drop the deadly
cargo in an effort to destroy the FORTH
cations. He is confident that the ex-
periments will prove the value of the
aeroplane as an engine of war

displayed at that time it's flags at half
mast from sunrise to sunset from the
presidents death until his burial The
government regulations provide that
on the death of president in office
it's flag shall be displayed at half-mast
only one day.
In memory of the 100000 union
soldiers who lost their lives during
the civil war, on May 80, Memorial
day, each year, the United States dis
plays its flag at half-mast at all army
posts, stations and national cemeter-
les. from sunrise till midday. Immedi-
ately before noon a dirge is played by
the band or field music, and the ma
tional salute of II guns is fired. At
the conclusion of this memorial trib-
ute at noon, the flag is hoisted to the
top Of the staff and remains there
until sunset The idea is that the ma
tional ensign is too sacred an object
to be long in mourning for any man
or number of men, no matter how ex-
allied their rank.
The flag reversed, with the union
down, indicates distress. The flag on
anything but a fort, actually besieged,

When the flag is to be displayed at

from the top Of the staff. 1t is hOisted

The strike at The steel plant had
