FLYING HIGHER THAN BIRDS
Amazing Altitude That Was Reached
in an Aeroplane by the French
man, Garros.

I The Frenchman, Garros, estab-
1ished truly amazing record for al
titude in an aeroplane when he as
cended 1898 feet. Think of a
mans "winging his way" as it were,
TO a height considerably over two
miles above the solid earth. The
skylark IL popularity esteemed the
highest flyer Of the common birds,
yst he mounts no more than Q mile,
whence he pours forth his liquid
notes TO charm the ear Of an ordi-
nary mortal and awaken responsive
cong in a Shelley. Pixies Peak is
but 14,141 feet above sea level and
scarcely more than 5000 feet above
the plateau where Colorado Springs
rests in its beauty and wealth among
the lesser ranges of the Rocky noun
itains. Garros, by ascending to an al
ltitude almost equal to that at which
venturesome visitors find the Ma
sonic monument on the top Of Pixies
Peak, surpassed Lincoln Beachey's
record at Chicago by 1885 feet, a
space that itself would have filed
the whole world with wonder less
than three years ago.-Philadelphis

HUNTING THE POLAR BEAR
Exciting sn q Description Of Sport on

hrctie-


Suddenly, not ten PAGES from NJ
and directly in the path, a great
white face that framed q living tn
angle Of flashing eyes above q steam
ing black nose showed itself sharp
and clear within the short range Of
our vision. Bulkcd large back Of
this there doomed the swaying body
Of an ice bear, hazy and unreal. He
moved like some huge pendulum,
from side to side, and then, his white
fangs snapped out bare against a
mouth Of FIRE as he sprang toward
the light.
"Give it to him, boysl" I shouted,
jumping sideways with the light.
Both rifles smashed into the
charging beast with one report, and
he dropped at our feet beneath the
stunning blow Of the mushroomed
bullets, while the loud echoes multi
piled among the hills that line the
valley. Before the sharp echoes had
ceased to babble back and forth be-
tween the ice slopes, we caught the
dim reply from the sheer face of
Kennedy Glacier way of on distant
Smeerenburg, and the stray dogs
again took up their mournful baying
in the valley.-0uting.

NINETEENTH NATIONAL
CONGRESS-
DECEMBER 5 TO 9.
DECEMBER 5 TO 9.


The object and purpose Of this
Congress can best be expressed in
it's motto. Save the forests, store
the foods, reclaim the deserts. make
homes on the land" to which might
be added drain the swamp and
make homes on the land"
There are in the United States
rs. 900, 900 acres Of swamp land. non
productive. a menace to health. and
a deterrent to immigration. 5000
600 acres divided into 40-scre farms
means homes for 1875. 900 families.
or approximately 10000. 900 Of our
citizenship. This land when re-
claimed will be as healthful as land
that has always been dry. and will
be the most productive Of all lands.
because it is composed Of the rich
soil brought down by the rivers. de-
posted and mixed with the decayed
vegetation for centuries.
On account of the diversified own
ership and state complications it
would seem that the United States
Government is logically the authori-
ty to redeem these lands along the
lines pursued in the reclamation of
the arid lands of the West.
The resu is Of irrigation of the
arid lands of the Far West, and the
possibilities of the drainage of the
swamp lands Of the Great South,
and elsewhere. will be given partic-
ular attention in an elaborate pro-
gram that has been planned for this
congress. Delegates from all parts
of the country. as well as foreign
representatives, have been invited,
and goodly attendance is expected.

the yard the reptile will trot toward
him with the friendliness of a dog.
Ii he sits down the alligator climbs on
his legs and rests its head on his
Knee. Curiously, the saurian is fond
OF sugar, and Mr.. Savoie says he has
this manner of asking for sugar.
Children play in the yard and the
alligator never has shown any hostili-
ty toward them, but 1t is worth dogs
life to enter the premises. Chickens,
however, perch on its back without
fear, although it will eat chicken meat
Mr.. Savoie attributes this to the fact
that he has fed the chickens and the
alligator at the same time, and in its
dumb, stupid way the gator has come
to recognize them as companions in
stead OF prey.
On the whole, the alligator Is pro
lection at night, as it is so big and
powerful that with one blow from its
tail 1t could lay a man low. It's pres
ence there also keeps "varmints" from
preying on the chickens at night Mr.
Savoie has become attached to the
reptile, and money could not buy it.

New York.--Uneasy lies the head
that wears the browning glory IN
New York just at this psychological
moment. Thrones totter and crowns
Sail to fit, and the latest rumor from
the front is that unless the nonvoting
section of the population mends its
ways the bald womaM will soon be the
rule rather than the exception.
Let no one gather from this that
hair-pulling is on the increase. Ihe
facts are that the view of London hair
dressers, coiffeuesses and beauty ply
sicians is sadly accepted by the pro-
fession here as the horrible truth.
Thanks to puffs, rats, wigs, switches
and other artificial formations that ex-
clude the air from the scalp, they say
the glorious tresses Of the American
woman are fading away like mists be-
fore the sun.
! The most remarkable feature OF the
situation, as seen here, is that while

COOPERATE IN CAN FAcToY
Good Manager Is of More importance
for Success Than Any Other
One Factor.

Cooperative canning factories are
being carried on In few communities
In Minnesota. Some have been fall
The principal causes of failure have
been the inability of the stockholders
to stick together when conditions
seemed adverse, and incompetent man
agement, writes A. R. Kohler in the
Farm, Stock and Home. A good man
ager for such a concern Is more i'm
portant for its success than any other
one factor. Dissolution of membership
is very apt to follow a case of poor
management It has been stated by
Gamers that where factories are prop
srly managed and the goods well sold,
which latter has not been a difficult
problem, there is no reason why there
should not be good profit in the bust

years, but had not been able to give

however, and through the lessons of
