the shipment of almost 1000 cars

1.-The trick was turned by giving
a son of Horst, the barley and hop

that young Horst did was to go to
his father and land an order for

HOLES IN THE AIR

In view of Fowler's statement
that he struck "air hole" in one
Of his attempted flights. the
following comment on that phenom-
enom from the New York Mail is
of interest:
1t has been proved to the
satisfaction of the meteorologits
that there are really "holes in
the air." as aviators claim. These
holes are the center of air whirls,
comparable with the hole in tic
W alter in the center of a wash
basin when the water is circling
around and escaping al vent at
the bottom. The holes in the air
are not destitute of air. but in
them the atmosphere is, much less
dense than it is on either side, and
an aeroplane which strikes one of
them finds much less resistance or
buoying power beneath it, and will
tend t. drop at once.
Birds find these holes in the air,
and often drop perccptibly when
they strike them, but their swift
ness of movement and instructive
adaptation to conditions enable
them to get out of them quickly
and obtain a hold upon the more
substantial surrounding medium
People who are contemp'a ting
going up in to the great deep of
the air in aerOplancs would do wei
to study the phenomena Of "holcs'
before they do so.

BAPTIST CHAPEL CAR

]
1t is about eighteen years since
the first of the Baptist Chapel Cars
was built and dedicated. 1t was
gift Of the denomination by six
railroad men in New York city, at
the instigation of Rev. Wayland
Hoyt, ID. D., then pastor in
Minneapolis, brother of one the
donors. The last of the six cars
was dedicted eleven years ago.
These cars are built on the
Pullman style, and divided into
Chapel and living rooms, or
parsonage; which makes a very
COW home for the missionaries.
The cars are owed and operated
by the American Baptist Publica-
ton SO-Iety which has charge of
the Rible School missionary work
of the denomination. The Society,
also operates 80 missionary, or
Coloporter, wagons. It. employs
1919 missionaries and uses annually
in its work about 1884 900. Rev.
X. q. Seymour ID. ID. of Phila-
delphia. is the Missionary Secre-
tary who has general direction of
the work. Rev. Geo. l.. White, Of
rtland, Ore. is Superintendent
of the Pacific division.
The cars were first designated to
meet the needs and conditions of
the rapidly developing west. The
use of the cars has been thrcefold:
To strengthen and encourage weak
churches; the planting Of new
churches; and work among rail-
road men. The last mentioned
has been very fruitful and
gratifying part of the work; so
much so that one of the cars is
now devoted to work among rail-
road men exclusively. in co.oprca-
ton with the r. II. Y. M. C. A.
The railroad companies have
won the grateful appreciation of
the denomination by their
interest and corporation in the
work, evidenced by transportation
and track privileges, and other
cOurtesies. The employees CO.
operate beautifully and among
them arc some Of the warmcst
friends of the work.
The life of the missionaries
upon the cars is very strenuous.
anG 1T requires workers with
strong constitutions to continue at
the work for any length of time.
As far as results Of such work
can be expressed in figures the
following will indicate some Of the
achievements Of the Chapel Car
work:
Since the inception of the work
the numtcr of conversions re.
ported to date is 16,4d9; the
number of baptisms is 1867; the
lumber of Bible Schools organized
is 286; the number Of meeting
houses built is l44; while the
number Of churches Organized is
1T. The ultimate purpose Of the
Chapel Car work is to win men
and women to Christ and develop
them IN the work of the kingdom
and wherever the needs and condi.
tons warrant is to establish q
Baptist church. Thus we expect
the arrival of Chapel Car Good
Will" in Elko. Saturday Sept. 80,

accomplish this end. There is no
doubt that the problem will be solved
satisfactorily before long, and that the
annual death roll Of the aeronauts will
be cut down considerably.
A great many enthusiastic people
have been urging their governments
to stop building battleships and spend
their millions for air craft They have
pointed out that for the cost of one
Dreadnaught an aerial fleet that
would darken the sky could be con-
structed. In fact, the nations of the
world are feverishly preparing for aer-
ial warfare. Great as has been the
rivalry between the great powers to
build and equip battleships, the rivalry
between them for mastery of the air
is fully as keen. Even the United
States has caught the fever and within
few months expects to have $50 aer-
oplanes under its command. The last
congress appropriated $125,000 for the
purchase and building of aeroplanes
for naval and military purposes. The
aerial corps is already under organiza-
ton and the most noted aviators In
the United States are now commits
stoned officers in It The Aerial corps
of the regular army has been seeing
some service during the maneuvers
still under way in the southwest and
have done scout duty for the marching
columns.
The air of the United States will be
full of machines during the summer.
AS in the old days, the nation relied
for its fighting sailors upon the sea,
faring men of the New England coast;
in these later times 1t must rely upon
the citizen aviator to aid in manning
its machines in the event of a conflict.
In Europe the military use of the
aeroplane Is we'll recognized. Russia
has given orders for the purchase OF
300 warplanes of the latest type. Ger
many has anywhere from thirty to
fifty dirigibles and score of aero,
planes carefully guarded in her mill
tary department. England Is nerv'
ously arming with warplanes, that she
may be able to defend the air as she
has long held the water. Italy is
strong in the fighting potentiality OF
these new creatures.
A frst-class steel warplane costs
$500 in the open market. The mod
ern battleship costs nearly $10,OOO,OoO'
so that the cost for one battleship a
good-sized fleet of aerial craft might
be assembled. In France the manufac
turers are behind with their orders
They have been swamped with orders
during the past few months and have
