SPARE THAT TREE.

We've got to save the forest lands
For what fearful fate
To the prophetic eye expands
With sawdust out of date!
Each morning will find us harsh ana
rude
And all insatiate;
There1l be no patent breakfast food
With sawdust out of date.
The paper roll that slowly frets
The air with vapors great
Must die. Wen have no cigarets
With sawdust out of date.
No more the acrohats will flins
Gay flipfiaps and gyrate
How can they build a circus ring
With sawdust out of date?
The dancer with her merry whiris
Will find a shapeless state.
What shall we do for ballet girls
With sawdust out of date?
No wonder that we think in fear.
As for the end we wait!
This world would be a sorry sphere
With sawdust out of date,

SPACES BETWEEN THE WORDS.
Great invention Usually overIooked
On Newspaper Page.

On a Newspaper Page.
BY holding this newspaper page too
close to the eye or too far from 1t,
it can be seen covered with black
spots with white between them an ex-
change says. Everyone who thinks of
the black spots for what they mean
thinks of them as due to one Of the
greatest inventions ever made, that of
movable type. Through 1t millions now
learn to read where only hundreds
could once learn. In thinking this of
the black spots, we may not think of
the white at ALL We would hardly
think of them at all as great inven-
ton, once badly needed to help more
people in learning to read Yet in do
ing this they come next in Importance
to the black marks of the type With
out noticing them we read by the
white spaces as much as we do by the
black letters. A test will show this.

Those who find the place to pause
for white space between these let
tiers will see how much harder it was
to learn to read in the time of Christ,
when books were written in this way
in capitals, without spaces between
the words. To take one of these old
books without spaces and read it would
call for a great deal of patience, even
If it We're not written in a strange and
dead language. The lack of spaces be-
tween the words made it harder for a
child to learn to read then, and it
makes 1t easier for even the most
learned to make mistakes now. The
spaces also belong to one of the fin
est and most delicate things in the
law of the voice. While we do not no
tiee it, they are controlling the voice
in what is called the music "melo-
dious and rhythmic intervals. In
German printing, thin spacing he
tween letters of a word to show
white between the black In print, is
meant to hold the voice on the word
long enough to bring it out stronger
than the rest.
Some manuscripts of the gospels
are written in capitals in short lines.
without spaces. The lines are some
what like those we now use In writ
Ing verse. The shortness of the
lines helps in reading them, but hard.
ly anything else, after spelling Is
learned, helps reading as much as
the white spaces which were not in,

peoples OF the world had written many

"A friendless warfare! lingering long
Through weary day and weary year:
wild and many-weaponed throng
Hang on thy front and flank and rear.
Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof,
And blench not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof,
The sage may frown, yet faint thou not
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast,
The foul and kissing bolt of scorn:
For with thy side shall dwell, at last,
The victory Of endurance born.
Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again.
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes in pain
And dies among his worshipers
Yes, though thou lie upon the dust
When they who helped thee fee in fear,
Die full OF nope and manly trust
Like those who fell in battle here!
Another hand thy sword shall WELD,
Another hand thy standard wave,
Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealad
The blast of triumph DER thy grave"

Across Atlantic In An Airship
Dr. Gans-Fabric German Aeronaut Gives the Details
the Daring Plan That He viii Try to Execute.

(Speciaf Cable from the International
News Service)
Berlin. April 16.-Dr. Gans-Fabric.
the German aeronaut, who intends to
attempt to trayerse>the Atlantic Ocean
in an Airship, has, given the follow
ing particulars OF his scheme:
u shall be accompanied by Herr
Bruckner. the editor Of a Frankfurt
newspaper, by . physician and by one
engineer Intend to start about the
middle Of May from either Cadiz, Spain
or Teneriffe. ai1s ~
This time Of the year is chosen be-
cause then there is an easterly wind
which blows from the European to the
American continent continuously. and
with force OF nearly thirty miles an
hour. It was to this wind that Colum-
bus owed his success IN discovering
America. stsf - --si'
Il desire to be an aerial Columbus,
and, starting approximately from the
same point, to be the first to reach
America through the air. MY course
would lie across the Atlantic Ocean to
Porto Rico, passing Cuba, and then
across the Gulf of New Orleans. The
distance Of my course would be Just
over 1900 miles.
Il estimate that should cover this
distance In five days. Myairshfp now
approaching completion is a combina-
tion Of an ordinary balloon and 4 dirig-
IDLE airship The length of the bal
loon section is IT'S feet. and its diane

The motor is 40 horse power.
Owing to the favorable wind which
shall utilize, 4 only intend to use the
motor In case of necessity. because 1t
is not possible to take sufficient ben
zine to keep the motor going for five
days. The cubic contents Of the bal
loon are quite sufficient to keep the
airship afloat for 145 hours. That
would be six days. or one day more
than require for the passage.

Annapolis, Nd. April, 16.-Midship-
man Earl D. Wilson. who was injur-
ed in the football game between vii
lanova and the navy last fall died at
$50 o'clock this morning. He had
been sinking for a week. Yesterday
his condition became SO serious that
no hope OF his recovery was held out.
Wilson's home was in Covington,
KY. and he was one of the best pupils
and all-around athletes In the acad-
envy. He was a member OF the foot
ball. baseball, gymnastic and other
athletic teams. In the Villanova game
on October 16 he received terrible
spinal injury, stopping q mass rush.
When he was picked up he was found
to be totally paralyzed and for the
first few days after the game his death
was momentarily expected.
Early in November the surgeons at
the naval academy performed . deli
cate operation, removing the covering
OF four Of the ceryical vertebrae and
relieving the pressure on the spinal
cord. Wilson recovered his power Of
speech at once and seemed to be on
the road to recovery until q week axo.
