IN NEED OF BALLOONS.
Navy Department Planning System
of Defense Against Aeroplanes.

The Navy Department is experiencing
difficulty in securing suitable balloons for
the forthcoming target practice in it's
plans to develop q system Of defense
against aeroplanes. Balloons are to be
used for that purpose. The department
has been in correspondence with several
manufacturers of balloons, but SO far
has not received a satisfactory PROPOSE
ton.
The officers of the navy do not antici-
pate that there will ever be any serious
danger from the dropping Of high ex-
plosives from aeroplanes on the decks
Of warships. 1t Is held that without any
special preparation a good marksman in
the navy or Marine Corps could keep
the aeroplanes so high In the air that
their drivers could not drop explosives
on the ships with any degree of &C
curacy. The real problem to be solved
Is keeping air scouts away from ships so
as to make accommodating ineffective.
Attempts will first be made to develop
aerial craftsmanship with service rifles
and later to use smaller caliber guns.

implement is the nervous system,
which must be properly fed and min

and fury of commerce, the demand
for instantaneous physical and men

Paw Of Paymasters' Clerks.

The army bill. as finally adopted, places
the paymasters' clerks Of the army on
the same footing as those Of the navy.
This will give them, when they enter the
service. only LIPS instead Of the s. 400
they now receive, with an increase after
each three years, until after twelve years
of service they will reach 5000. The
military committee held that IL they were
going to put the two services on an exact
equality the clerks should suffer the loss
while they are young. and get the benefit
as they get older and after years OF
satisfactory SERVES.

Then it was that Harry" an equine

The bay horse, without bride or
halter, got loose from his stall some
time yesterday afternoon. Wandering
about the adjacent country. he found
himself on new made ground near For

In a. ravine alongside the new made
road he found the slough and attempt

doom seemed set.
This was at 6 o'clock last evening
while it was still light. The nay
danger was seen and communicated 10
dwellers on the countryside ana 10

Efforts were made to help the horse
to extricate himself, but they served
only to increase his plight. Gradually

It was after / o'clock when he

Lighting his lantern, DR.. Holdings

board he made bridge to carry his
tackle to the head of the almost In
