Los Angeles, Cal. Especially -
Arch Hoxsey, OF Pasadena, holder OF
the worlds aeroplane altitude record
-11,474 feet-Thursday few over
Mount Wilson, the highest peak of
the mountain range that rims the
valley in which Los Angeles, Pasa-
dena and the towns of the orange
belt lie.
Under ideal weather conditions, he
scared 10,005 feet into the sky, and
cleared the crest of Mount Wilson
with 1920 feet to spare.
Lieut.. Vernon Boiler and several
other army officers, who are here to
see the flights, asserted Hoxsey's per-
formance pointed a new way of
transporting armies across mountain
ranges.
Lieutenant Boiler, who came here
from Fort Whipple, Ariz., said that
thousand biplanes could transport an
army of 10000 men across noun
tains as high as the Alps in day.
Runs Into Sleet Storm.
Hoxsey used a Wright biplane,
equipped for passenger service, and
he made the journey from the field
to a point beyond the mountains in
hour and 2S minutes.
The distance is estimated at "a
miles. On an air line the distance
from the field to the mountain is less
than that, but Hoxsey circled over
the field until he had reached his
maximum height, before he pointed
the nose of his machine toward the
range. He was out of sight before
he made the attempt at topping the
peak.
News of his success was flashed to
the aviation field by telephone from
the Carnegie Solar Observatory, on
Mount Wilson, directly above which
the aviator scared.
1T was fearfully cold" said Hox-
sey, "and when | got to a point just
above the summit, | found that the
haze, which obscured the mountains

pail of vapor with fine ice particles

that If had had recording ther-
mometer with me it would have
shown the temperature of the upper
altitude to be far below zero. How
ever, hurdling mountains is much
easier than climbing 1000 feet over
a valley of the sea. The earth does
not seem so far away"

Eccentric England.

There are one or two place names in
England which for eccentricity 1t
would be hard to beat, even in Canada.
Cornwall boasts of village called
Drunkards All and of Il tithing called
London Apprentice. The name of an
other Cornish village - Grumbia -
sounds worse when spoken than 1t
looks In print. The same may be said
of the neighboring village of st. Eval,
which is always pronounced "San-
deval." Bishop Phllpotts asked can
didate for ordination where he came
from. "St Eval," was the reply.

BRAINS IN BUSINESS.
Tho Way Cigar Dealer Won Big
Office Buildings Trade.

With the opening Of new business
block in one of the largest cities In the
middle west also came the inevitable
cigar stand inside the building. Trade,
however, came very slowly the first
few weeks. In the rush of moving the
business men gave very little atten-
ton to the new cigar stand.
1t was not long before the proprietor
of the stand began to feel uneasy and
set about devislng some scheme for
stimulating trade. One morning about
four weeks after the building had been
open every man In the building re-
ceived visit from the cigar stand
proprietor, who carried around with
him several boxes of cigars and grip
full of cigarettes. Every smoker was
made n present of his favorite smoke.
With his entrance into an office the
enterprlsing dealer introduced himself.
asked each man to have n smoke and
politely intimated that he would be
glad to cater to him In future.
His outlay for the free smokes
amounted to over $50. but 1t paid In
returns thousand per cent Pracu-

now n firm patron of his stand, not
merely because of the free gift, but be-
cause as business men they recognized

Leopold de Meyer of Dresden, bril-.

was once summoned to play before the
sultan Of Constantinople. Going thith-
er, he borrowed a grand piano from
one of the Austrian secretaries of lega-
ton and had 1t set up in large recep-
ton room at the palace. There he
awaited the coming of the sultan, but
when that intelligent monarch entered
the room he started back in alarm and
demanded Of his attendants what that
monster was standing there on three
legs. Explanations followed, but were
in vain. The legs had to be taken of
and the body of the instrument laid
fat on the floor, and Leopold de Meyer,
squatting cross legged on mat went
through his program as best he could

faithful was delighted, and when the

One raw February morning an in
structor in the University of Michigan
was calling the roll Of an s o'clock
class in English.
"Mr. Robbins" said he.
There was no answer.
"Mr. Robbins" In a slightly louder
voice.
Still no reply.
"Ah," said the instructor, with a
quiet smile, come to think of it, 1t is
rather early for robins"
The instructor was the late Moses
Colt Tyler, who later became profess
sor of history at Cornell, and 1t shows
him in the pleasing light of man who
could be boyishly gay at gray and
cheerless hour-no small feat, If one
stops to consider an instructors provo

They Play Queer Franks at Times on
Their Mission Of Death.
At the battle of Peach Orchard,
when Mcclellan was making bis
change of base, a Michigan infantry
man fell to the ground as If shot dead
and was left lying in a heap as the
regiment changed position. The bullet
that had hit him first struck the barrel
of his gun, then glanced and struck of
a button of his coat, tore the watch out
of his vest pocket and struck the man
Just over the heart, where It was
stopped by a song book In his shirt
pocket. He was unconscious for three
quarters of an hour, and 1t was a full
month before the black and blue spot
disappeared.
At Pittsburg Landing member Of
the Twelfth Michigan infantry stopped
to give a wounded man a drink from
his canteen. While in this act bullet
aimed at his breast struck the canteen
and buried itself in the leg Of horse.
The canteen was split open and drop
ped to the ground in halves.
At the second battle Of Bull Run
New York infantryman was passing
tobacco to a comrade when a bullet
struck the plug, glanced or and buried
itself In knapsack. The tobacco was
rolled up like a ball Of shavings and
carried hundred feet away. Directly
in the line of the bullet was the head
of a lieutenant, and had not the bullet
been DETECTED he would certainly have
been wounded or killed thereby. Az It
was, he had both eyes filled with to-
bacco dust and had to be led to the
rear.
At Brandy Station one Of Clusters
troopers had his left stirrup strap cut
away by grapeshot, which passed be-
tween his leg and the horse, blistering
the skin as If red hot iron had been
used. He dismounted to ascertain the
extent of his injuries, and as he bent
over bullet knocked his hat or and
killed his horse.
In the same fight trooper had suf-
fered several days with toothache.
In a hand to hand conflict he received
a pistol ball in the right cheek. 1t
knocked out his aching tooth and
passed out through the left corner OF
his mouth, taking along a part Of an
upper tooth. The Joy Of getting rid OF
the toothache was SO great that the
trooper could not be made to go to the
rear to have his wound dressed.-Ex-
