Torpedo Dirigible Balloon is
Added to the Fleet
of France.

PARIS. Feb. 24-The French
cruiser Descarte sailed recently from
Lorient for America, where she will
remain two years visiting different
ports in North and South America,
but especially inspecting the French
fisheries of Newfoundland.

"A torpedo dirigible balloon is the
latest addition to Frances great
aerial fleet. The matter has been
held with considerable secrecy, but
it is known that at the Bayrad
works at Asnieres, Just outside Paris,
such dirigible is in construction.
The dirigible deck will be fitted with
a torpedo tube and the balloon at
each ascent will carry three torpe-
does. These in time of war would
be launched at the armies over

Important social reforms have
been voted by the Swiss people at
IA recent special election. BY 25O,-
600 against 100000. new law for
insurance against sickness and ac-
cidents was adopted. The law is
really in two parts, both of which
have been adopted by the Swiss
parliament. The first part relative
to insurance against illness met with
no serious opposition, but the sec
ond, relative to insurance against
accident, was combatted somewhat
in parliament because it involved
the establishment OF national
fund of about s1,6OO,OOO annually.
The opponents of the second
measure carried on systematic hut
futile campaign among the peopls
contending that such an immense
appropriation would endanger the
national treasury and that 1t con.
stituted doubtful adventure for a
state to mingle in matter which
properly belonged to private com
panies.

AT PLAYING FOOTBALL

PHILADELPHIA, Dec "A tiny
fragment of bone, a splinter from a
fractured leg, killed fourteen-ye old
George w. Hayes when it touched his
heart, according to physicians at the
Children's Homeopathic hospital today.
The remarkable fatality is being inves-
tigated. According to physicians, the
boy was injured in a football game on
November IL. He was taken to the
hospital with a broken leg. The break
was apparently healing when the boy
complained of pains in the heart. The
physicians learned that a small piece of
bone had been carried through his veins
to the heart. 1t lodged there and caused
his death.
