Building an Ocean Palace.

The building and launching of an
afloat on the high seas, is one of the
wonders to be depicted by Lyman Il.
Howe at the auditorium on Feb. IL. 10
give everyone an insight into how
such a magnificent, complex and vast
structure is reared, Mr.. Howe assigned
a photographer to the task of photo
graphing the new and huge White star
Liner, Olympic, in every stage of ITS
development, from the scenes in the
designing room to the launching
When the leviathan finally started over
the slips to seek its new home in the
sea he had photographers in as many
locations, fore and aft, to show with
what majestic precision the enormous
ship glided into its native element. The
ship, which is nearly -one-ffth of mile
long, will accommodate $500. .passen-
gers and crew Of $50. A ride. on
dirigible balloon over Switzerland; an
other on the swiftest motor boat In the
world-the Ursula of 500 horsepower;
a ramble through fashionable, political,
financial and historic London;. spectac-
ular dynamiting of big buildings IN
Messina; landing passengers in rough
sea at Tunis; dissolving portraits OF
prominent Americans; dangerous
though bloodless bull fight in Spain,
comprise only few of the many big
features on the new program.

Clean Meat and Cheap.

Up to this point the meat consumers
of Paris, Texas, had taken little interest
in the warnings of the mayor. Inc
business men and the housewives,
knowing nothing of the dirty methods
through which the steaks reach them,
could see no reason for change. Es-
tablished custom is hard to change,
whether it be the matter of meats
or morals.
Just as soon, however, as the city
council called an election on $l0,O0O
bond issue to erect an abattoir Parls
people became interested. The name ~.
self sounded so strange and sent hall
of the town to the dictionary or to his
neighbor for the meaning. The purpose
was still more novel and soon the town
was engrossed with the proposed bond
issue as it had been with the prohibi-
ton election six months before. Inc
whole town was divided into pr0-abat-
toirs and anti-abattoirs. !,
Opponents of the idea characterized
the scheme as a dream. and went SO
far as to call Mayor McCuistion and
his friends socialistic. An abattoir for
a city of 100000 might do, but never
for town of barely 10000.
Anyway, on election day Mayor Me
Cuistion won out and the money. was
voted for the plant. rms Opposition,
it should be said, has been entirely con
verified. The butchers say that they
get their meat delivered to them cheap
er than ever before. The people say
the meat is better and Just as cheap,
Not only had the mayor and the
councilmen won out in their fight, but
they also developed the abattoir idea
until it had expanded and had grown
into miniature municipal packing
plant.
1t is the belief of Mayor McCuistionn
that the construction of 1000 municipal
abattoirs in the United States would
reduce meat prices and checkmate the
beef trust within six months He
points out that municipal ownership Of
these slaughtering houses will prevent
their absorption by any trust or com
bination. An abattoir, as experience
shows in Paris. can be successfully
operated anywhere, for the method, is
simplicity itself and requires neither
great expert knowledge, long expert
ence, nor extraordinary business abil-
ity. Six men can operate a plant for a
city of 10000 people.-From Check

The Boiler and the Body.

The boiler has a certain temperature
corresponding with the working pressure
it is desirable to use, and for which 1t
was constructed.
The body has its normal temperature;
any variation above or below this means
too high bodily pressure, or reduced
vitality. =,
The fuel put into a boiler should be
that which it is designed to burn. Dltfer'
emily constructed boilers will not economl-
cally burn the same fuel. :.
The body should receive the food IT is
best able to assimilate. Diverse constitu-
tions require diverse nourishment.
A boiler should be fired with small,
equal quantities of fuel at stated intervals;
large masses irregularly fed are fatal to
satisfactory results.
The body should be fed similarly; over
loading the stomach produces imperfect
digestion, and deranges our physical sys-
tens.
Boilers are insulated by brickwork, eel
lular asbestos, ETC., to prevent loss OF heat
by radiation.
Cellular tissue and fat aid in maintaining
our normal temperature.
Small boilers well designed produce
good results with small fuel consumption;
others are less economical. The more per-
feet the boiler the less the consumption
of fuel. ;,
Some individuals are SO constituted that
thew exist on small quantities of food;
others in the same circumstances consume
much more. The more perfect the physical
development the less the food required.
The above data, intelligently used, gov
ern good boiler practice. -,
The above will also secure health and
good digestion. Popular Magazine.

History repeats itself. Men by the
score viii have died the death in
the air before aerial navigation is
safe. Then woman, the cautions, the
conservative, the primitive, viii step
in and rule.
Why is the air Woman's own do
main? The answer is perfectly
plain to both psychologists and
Psychologists.
The periphery, the outer rim Of
a woman's retina, Is as sensitive to
objects as is its centre. A woman
can look away from you and still
see you.
Her arc Of sight IS almost twice
that Of mans, in whom. as a rule,
the periphery Of the retina is eZ-
tremely blunted to Impressions. Try
the experiment Of having a woman
look straight ahead and telling you
how much she still can see on each
side Of her without directly looking
at the objects.
There is a deep psychological rea-
son for this. Primitive man, who,
surrounded by dangers, had to keep
looking on every side at once, had,
it is probable, almost periscopic
sight such as the birds have He

It IS said also that women have greater
= tuition than men. That may be so, but I
do not think that the kind of intuition
they possess in such abundance would be
OF any practical use in aviation.
Difused attention, too. would be more
, OF handicap than an advantage. What
the aviator needs more than anything else
is the ability to concentrate his mind on his
levers.
1t IS true that women are lighter than
men, It IS equally true. however. that
weight viii be Of no consequence in the
aeroplane Of the future, except perhaps that
the greater the weight the more effective
will be the aeroplane. The future aero
plane will be Of steel-wood and canvas
will be eliminated.
As far as Woman's milder manner of
sneezing is concerned I cannot see how
that will be Of advantage, in view of tba
fact that, in my own experience 7 have
never found 1t necessary to sneeze at all
while in the air
1 do not believe that aviation Increases
the tendency to sneeze, nor should I con.
slider 1t Of the slightest Importance even n
1t did. It takes considerably more than
sneeze to wreck an aeroplane, or even to
discOncert an aviator
The sense Of balance comes to the avIa-
tor naturally. One eievates or lowers his
planes almost instinetively, the same as
one turns the handle-bars in bicycling or
varies the stroke in swimming OF tennis
In these instantaneous motions there Is no
time for consideration. Instinct takes the
place Of foresight. I do not think that
women are better equipped in this respect
than men. It is rather a matter of experi-
ence than natural fitness
It is true that with one or two exceD-
tons women aviators have so far escaned
serious accidents. 1t must be remembered
however. that their efforts have been con
fined exclusively to aerodrome flights s.
which is a very different proposition to
cross-country work and the hazardous
achievements undertaken by men.
When the airship becomes absolutely
safe. as it will, women may make GOOD
aviators, but they win never dominate tbp
air to the exclusion of men any more than
they have dominated any other similar
sphere Of activity

No Place in the Air for Women


tied" If I may use the word, no matter
what happens. Men sometimes possess this
faculty, but it Is very rare in women.
Professor Hensingmuller may be correct
in his premises, but the conclusions he
draws from them are not sustainable-
Thus women may possess a greater
range Of vision than men, although I have
never heard the proposition advanced be-
fore, but that will not make them better
aviators, for greater range Of vision is
not needed. The aviator has all he can do
to look straight ahead, and the power to
see further to the right and left would :.
prove at all serviceable.
Gusts Of wind and currents are not Wis
ible- As q matter Of fact their presence
can usually be felt long before they affect
the planes. Woman's superior vision
would therefore be of no value to her in
that respect

The truth IS that women lack qualities

are temperamentally united for the sport

In aviation. Supreme confidence in ones
