AERIAL WIZ CRAFT.
Germany Leads tis Nations With q
Fleet of fourteen.


From return Just issued it appears
that there were az the beginning OF
1911 forty airships in existence belong
ing 10 the nations OF the world and
intended for use in warfare.
Germany comes frst with fourteen
aerial battleships and cruisers as
against Frances twelve. Britain pos
sesses six. and of the remaining eight
Italy and Austria own two each. while
one apiece is possessed by Russia, Bel
GUM. Spain and the United States.
These figures Include airships COM
pleted ready for delivery, but not yet
handed over. rs. for example. the huge
semirigid Morning Post, England's big
gest dirigible. She holds when fully
inflated $4,000 cubic feet of gas as
against the 245.000 feet contained in
side the envelope Of Clement-Bayard
H., England's next largest.
Even these monsters, however, are
quite small by comparison with some
of the latest German aerial Dread
noughts. For example, Zeppelin III.
and Zeppelin Nv. have gas capacity
of $4,000 feet and G65,000 feet re-
spectively. TO Germany also belongs
the distinction of owning the biggest
airShip in the world the Schultz, which
is of GS2, 800 feet capacity and is driven
by four motors, each of 125 horsepow-
er.
The United States has achieved a
record in the other direction by build
ing the smallest aerial cruiser now in
existence. This is the Baldwin, which
has capacity of 10000 feet only.
This is 1900 less than the little VIII
lows, which created such n sensation
last August by appearing unexpectedly
over London. having flown from Car
diff during the night.-Pearson's Week

Had long since left his shining poll.
She had very girlish air
And looketi much like big wax doll.
He might have been her doting dad,
Her every order he obeyed.
His trust vas deep, his looks were glad.
Despite remarks that people made.
Men called him foolish, women vowed
That he vas shamefuliy deceived.
But he was happy and allowed
The foolish gossips to be grieved.

THEIR BOOTS COME OFF.
Peculiar Effect When Men Fall From a
Great Height.


Great Height.
Stories they tell in the copper min
ing region of northern Michigan cor
roborate what the Literary Digest says
Of singular phenomenon: 1.-THE
strange case we recently noted of a
man who fell 400 feet from a Dover
cliff and had his boots off when picked
up moves w. S. Doolittle of the Ster-
ling Salt company, Moscow, n. Y, to
cite instances of similar falls in which
the feet were also found to be uncov-
cred. He does not accept the conclu-
sion that the man who fell must have
retained sufficient consciousness to
pull off his boots. Mr.. Dooittle writes:
Some time after the completion of a
shaft 1000 feet deep, during the act Of
putting down cable to the mine
level. n workman fell from a point
about 700 feet from the bottom of the
shaft and landed in the stump, or a
point q few feet below the mine level.
"When his body was picked up and
brought To the surface it was found
that his boots were off, and these were
later picked up and brought to the
surface also. In talking this matter
over with the engineer in charge he
said that several such cases had been
brought to his notice.
"'Just why the boots come Off the
feet is beyond my comprehension, but
in this case. which came under my per-
sona notice, it was fact. and my
friend the engineer stated it as usu-
ally being the case"

Gently been added to the equipment.
We understand that the property will
