James ]. Hill, the railway king,
told the following amusing incl
dent happening on one OF his
roads:
"One of our division superin-
tehdents had received numerous
complains that freight trains
were in the habit of stopping on a
grade crossing in alcertain small
town, thereby blocking travel for
long periods. He issued orders,
bun still the complaints came in.
Finally he decided to investigate
personally,
A short man in size and, very
excitable, he went down to, the

baldnessi Attend to the golden wisdom of Dr. Wells. He solemnly ayers that badness is sign of intellectually. The more man advances in the realm of thought he says, the less hair will he have. The more brains he has, the more he thinks and uses these brains, the higher he develops on the mental plane, the more naked he will become on top of his head. And woman will not be ex- empt in this general scheme of evolu- ton. Two hundred years hence there will not be such monstrosity a long haired man, and 800 years hence there will scarcely be hair on any woman s head"
 These are comforting words-eomfort- ing, at least, to the man who, advancing into middle age, finds the hair growing thin on the top of his head. No more will he gaze anxiously in the mirror SO mornings No longer will he spend his hard-earned dollars on tonics and un- guents that have no more effect than so much water. No more will he ruin his temper trying to massage his head O nights. No more will he disguise him self in ugly heat-engendering wigs that never stay on straight, and always come off at the most inopportuns moment. Henceforth he is a free moral agent, a man unafraid, a man whose glistening dome of thought will be the envy of all beholders. new and happier epoch begins for the hairless man.

M'MILLAN AND HIS CLOCK
One of Biggest Ever" With Astro-
 nOmical and Organ Attachment

From the Detroit News
 He first conceived the idea of building a large clock several years ago. There desire to see what he could do. He had seen clocks on exhibition and on perusng a catalogue he came across the picture of model which gave him some general ideas. To these he added his own, some of which were altered from time to time, until he has the pleasure of seeing his dreams stand forth in reality
 The clock is a mammoth affair. and standing as if does ip small room, seems to dwarf all other things about it. From floor to top it stands eight feet and meas ures about three feet on each side. The weights which run the clock have com bined mass of over 90 pounds, while the pendulum of brass and zinc adds five pQylnds to the total In the top of the clock is a dial to show the phases of the moon and also a set of chimes which strike the quarter hours.
 q But. the real feature of the clock is complete little pipe organ This Is built into the back of the instrument, run by an electric motor and controlled by the mechanism of the clock. Every 15 min utes the organ plays tune, each tune different Wooden rolls, similar to the rolls in hand organs, are used, and there are six tunes on each roll. After piece has been played the roll is set automati- cally for the next selection. The rolls were made by Mir McMillan, from some charts of the music which he worked out by himself Annie Laurie Morning in the Meadow and several other old favorites are among the repertoire of the organ

Restless Offensive

General von Hausen. Saxon war minis ter commanding Blue. and General vor Buelow. commanding Red. were both. of course. true to the German dogma of rest less offensive, as their Leitmotivs. All their movements had the offensive pri- marily in mind. The personnel of the various army corps, divisional. and bri- gade commanders in German manoeuvres are always of paramount interest be- cause of the insight afforded into the predilections of the men who will com mand in war. Wide initiative Is permit ted them, and there is full play for indi- yidual ingenuity. One of the tasks set generals in the present manoeuvres was co operation with neighhorng arues. Both Red and Blue. in addition to actual forces, had assumed armies on either flank for theoretical co-operati tion A nov city was the appearance in the Elhe ef a flotilla of motor-boats. armed with ma chine-guns, intended to harass river crossings They proved quite ineffective and useless except for transport of ma chine-guns, being far too vulnerable to attacks from troops on the banks

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-20
Air Craft Success

The Red invaders were supplied with a Parseval airship and a detachment of six or eight aeroplanes. Blue had the Zeppe-
 lin I'll. airship and the same number of flying machines as Red. It may be said at once that the work of the military air craft was of first-rate order. As far as was ascertainable, disaster overlook only one aeroplane of all the craft en- gagged. The scouting on both sides was so efficiently done that each army was compelled to resort to an extraordinary amount of night work in order to screen its movements and tactical operations. Never before has it been brought home so vividly to my mind that the armies of the future will be compelled to march and fight under cover of darkness to a degree hitherto inexperienced in the an- nals of war.
 For far reconnaissance, cavalry and aeroplanes co-operated for the first time in German manoeuvres, a noteworthy step in the effective use of aircraft There were innumerable occasions when both armies had reliable knowledge of the movement and dispositions of the enemy many hours or even whole day fin advance of what would have been the case if cavalry scouting only had been relied upon. Zeppelin TIT. was omnipres- ent, literally, and rendered incalculably valuable service 10 Blue. There seemed hardly a moment during the operations when Zeppelin III. was not lowering at a safe altitude over some Red position or returning to its own headquarters with priceless intelligence Aeroplanes did not limit their work to scouting. but proved great and reliable time e-savers in the car rying of communications between far separated divisions.
