AERIAL SEARCHLiGHTS,
Balloons Sent Up from War Vessels to
illuminate Ocean.

Among the most serious problems
of modern naval warfare is that Of
lighting the cnemy'S vessels sufficient
ly at night to make good targets. If
this done by the ships own search
lights the beams from the same will
locate the ship carrying them, thus
exposing it in turn to the enemy's
shot and shell. The really desirable
solution would be one that left the
enemy entirely in the dark as to the
location of his opponent until the de-
Wasting shots rained down upon him.
For this purpose it has been suggested
that the active searchlights be mount
ed on smaller vessels (such as torpedo
boats) which would be harder to hit
and not so costly to replace if sunk,
but as soon as such smaller boats go
some distance from the man of-War it
is difficult to communicate with them
without using either lamps. signals or
wireless messages which may imme-
diately be observed.
A novel substitute for this plan has
Just been patented in Germany by L.
/. Mayer, of Metz, the warlke from
tier town which Germany wrested
from France in 1871. Meyers pro-
poses to mount Il powerful electric
searchlight in the basket of a captive
balloon sent up from the man of-war
Current would be supplied to the
lamp through wires forming part of
the cable which holds the balloon in
check. while additional wires would
operate magnets to rotate the search
light. The current would not be
turned on until the balloon was high
in the air, hence it's presence would
not be suspected until the telltale
beams flash across the high sea and
as the wind will usually have carried
the balloon far from it's master ship.

WHY THE TURKEY is BALD.
Why the Indian Uses Its Wings to
Fan Fire Into Flame.

The Indians of our country have
many legends connected with certain
peculiar habits or customs prevalent
among them. If one should chance to
visit the home of an old Indian he
would perhaps notice a turkey wing
hanging near the fire.
This tine Indian uses to fan his fire
into flame and make it burn brightly.
or perhaps in the sultry days of sum
mer to fan himself If asked why he
uses the turkey wing instead of the
wing of any other bird he would no
doubt relate the following story:
Many years ago the fire of the world
was nearly extinguished; this hap
pened just at the beginning of the
winter season. The birds of the air
were filled with anxiety. for their In
tuition told them they would need heat
to keep them warm through the win
ter.
A bird council was held and it was
decided that birds which could fly the
highest should soar into the air and
see if they could find spark of fire
anywhere. The efforts of the eagle,
lark and raven We're in vain. Tho
honor was left to the little brown
sparrow who spied a spark of fire in
the hollow of an old stump in the
heart of a deep forest.
The birds liocked around the stump
and tried to decided who should pick
the spark out. But all their efforts
were in vain; to their dismay they
saw the spark growing smaller and
fainter. The turkey then volunteered
to try to keep the tiny coal alive by
tanning ii with his wings. Day after
day the turkey kept tanning; the heat
became greater each day, until the
feathers We're singed off the turkeys
head. If one notices carefully he will
see Jumps on the head of a turkey
that appear as blisters
1t is believed that the turkey was
so badly burned that all turkeys since
have had bald heads and wear the
blisters as a memento of the bravery
of the turkey. The faithful turkey
lost his beautiful feathers, but he gave
back fire to the world; so in his honor
and as memorial of his faithfulness
the Indian uses the turkey wing to
make his fire burn-The Red Man.
