I'll FOURTH ARlL."

In a series of articles on military aeronau-
tics in the Temps NJ, Paul Rousseau gives r.
number of facts and figures with regard to
the effective strength of the fourth arm"
of the French Army, Notwithstanding the
inadequate credits voted by Parliament,
France, at the end Of this wear, viii be able
to boast Of a fleet Of 200 military aeroplanes
-120 "monoplones'' and so "bipIanes. NJ.
Rousseau prefers to classify aeroplanes as
'monopIanes' and biplanes, y since some mo
noplanes carry more than ore person and
some b~iplanes can carry only a single person.
He considers that at least another 100 aero
planes will have to be added to the machines
already in commission before the French
Army can be considered to be properly
equipped with this type OF aircraft. AT
present this number could easily be reached
by the loan of private aeroplanes But it is
held to be e~ssentia! that the military aero
planes should be used exclusively in case Of
mobilization or for man@uvres. Eight or
ten aeroplanes is considered 10 be the con-
tingent necessary ion each Army Corps. 1t
is regarded rs not impossible that by the
emo of 1914 France may possess u fleet Oh
900 military aeroplares.
The Army already possesses three dlf'8lbIe
airships and three more are under construc-

The inctcons Tnat Won = on Corwin's
Flrcr ,-,-,7c For Congress.
"When | 81. the oil painting Of Tom
Corwiu ia tI!" treasury" said an Ohio
man. Il could not but recall the story
told in COrWiIi'S old home of Lebanon
of how ae won his first election to
congress. lie was a young man and
already noted as an orator. but he
had hard district and little encour-
agement for election. He was making
his tour Of the counties and one night
stopped at the double cabin of farm
or known to be very fervent advo-
cate Of political policies Of the oppO-
sition. Corwin talked politics care
fully with tie old man and his sons
before bedtime. but had little hope of
winning single vote in the house
hold. In the morning the old man
took CorWin outside and announced
that every voter in the family would
be for him on election day. This
astonished and delighted COrwin. who
could not help but ask why the sudden
change of heart.
"The old man told how the opposition
candidate had stopped at his house
one night the week before and how
the host and wife had watched the
candidate 20 to bed. To their disgust.
he actually put on nightgown like
those worn by woman. This dis
gusted the rugged old pioneer. Then
COrwin was told how the old farmer
and his wife had watched him go to
bed, and as he had not bothered about
a nightie they determined he was not
taken to frills CorWin could see the
humor Of the incident. and in every
succeeding speech he told that night
shirt story on the other candidate,
holding him up to scOrn. The result
was a victory for Corwin. and he
owed it all to that story of a shirt. -

CORE OF THE EARTH.
1t May Be a Mass of Steel Some $3.50
Miles In Diameter.

HICS III Dl0hIShOi.
Various conjectures have been made
from time to time by biologists as to
the possible condition of the center Of
the earth. One of the most popular
Impressions seems to be that the
earths center, or core, is flaming
furnace. At a meeting of the Seis
biological associa ton at The Hague
Professor Weichert asserted that his
studies of the varying velocity of
earthquake tremors passing through
the interior of the globe have led him
to the conclusion that the earth con
sists Of a central core Of iron or steel,
about $3.50 miles In diameter, sur
rounded with q stony shell $50 miles
in thickness. Between the outer solid
rind and the inner layer of rock. cover
ing the metallic core, he thinks there
is layer of liquid or plastic material,
living q little less than twenty miles
below the surface of the earth.
Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep III the earth below
the reach of miners, but experts now
aver that there is little or no ground
to believe that any valuable metallic
deposits lie very deep in the earth's
crust regardless of Professor Wei
chert's beliefs to the contrary. Such
deposits. it is said. are made by under
ground waters, and owing to the pres
sure on the rocks at great depths the
waters are confined to a shell near the
surface With few exceptions ore de-
posits become too lean to repay work

ten, taking the world as whole, are
poorer in the second thousand feet
than in the first thousand. and poorer
vet in the third thousand than in the
second--New York World.

To Ston Hiccouuhs.

Simple cases of hiccOugh are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar. says the
New York Medical Journal Pulling
the tongue forward and holding it for
some time is an effective procedure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re-
lieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms eX-
tended and grasping some beam or
pole, so that his feet do not touch
the floor. With all the abdominal
muscles tense, have him hold his
breath as long as possible. Sneezing
is very efficient in certain cases. since
it is the exact opposite to hiccough,
being a sudden exploratory act.

Wisconsin Farmers Anxious for
Crop Demonstrations.

Nearly 5000 farmers attended
demonstration meeting at the Iowa
County Farm, few days ago. The
State College of Agriculture has
demonstration farms in many sections
of the state. On these farms crops are
grown under various conditions and
when the crops are in the best con
dition for demonstration purposes, the
farmers are invited to come to a meet
ing, which is combined with farmers
picnic. Prof. G. P. Norgord Of the
agronomy department of the College Of
Agriculture has this work in charge.
Alfalfa has been doing especially
well on farms this year. There is
striking difference between that grown
with nurse crop and that grown
without. In fact, on some fields where
a nurse crop has been used the crop
has been practically killed out.
The most successful plan has been
to pillow the land in the fall and man
ure it well. 1t also receives good
narrowing at this time to, destroy what
weeds start. In the spring the land is
narrowed about every ten days to keep
the weeds down until about June |,
when lime is applied. The seed is
inoculated and sown the first week of
June, 90 to 25 pounds seed fS acre
being used. This work which is prov
ing so beneficial to farmers is fully
described in Bulletin 2OR
