Invisible Airship

Invisibility has long been the dream
Of scientists. and though il has been
found almost impossible 10 make
things Invisible on land and sea, II will
not be so difficult as far as the air
is concerned.
Dark gray is extensively used for
painting battleships, yet though diff
cult 10 the ordinary eye, the skilled
seaman can spot such a warship.. when
stationary Of n distance of six miles.
When moving and belching forth
smoke, II is practically hopeless for
big cruiser 10 expect TO hide itself
within range OF telescopes.
The invisible a!rship has already
been patented by its inventor, Baron
Rocune. Baron Roenne is we'll known
as an airship and naval engineer, so
more respect must be paid 10 his ideas
than to those who try inventing with
out any technical knowledge. He has
already designed and built q number
of dirigibles, and has put forward
many ideas for making airships safer
and more efficient.
Baron Roenne has submitted his
idea 10 the officials of the Greenwich
Royal Observatory. and they declare
that il is based on scientific principles,
and most certainly practicable. The
way this remarkable airship is made
invisible is as follows: Take white
wall and paste white sheet of paper
Ret ~
may be able 10 detect where the pa.
per leaves off and the wall begins. At
100 yards the wall looks all wall. You
would never suspect the paper OF be-
ing there IL you did not know already.
That is Baron Roenne's idea.
The outside covering Of his airship
Is made Of chromium, n metal the COM
position OF which rs a secret. II is
almost as strong as steel, yet II
weighs only onefourth as much. No
hydrogen can leak from a vessel made
Of il, so the danger OF an airship ex-
plodiag from that cause disappears.
II is due 10 the discovery OF chro-
MUM, in fact, that the invisible air
ship Is possible. The most important
thing about the metal as far as Baron
Roenne is concerned. is that II pos
sesses a very highly polished surface.
This surface is covered over with
thin coating OF transparent varnish.
The whole surface of the dirigible. in
fact, acts as n mirror, and reflects the
same color as It's surroundings. II the
sky is dull. SO is the airship. II the
sky is blue, so is the airship. The
sides of the keel of this new airshir
are also rejecting mirrors, and by an
ingenious arrangement Of them, the

Bands TO Mark ORANGES.

The cigar.band idea is about 10 be
utilized by the orange growers Of
California for the purpose OF marking
the fruit in order that consumers may
readily recognize the brands which
suit their taste best. Some time ago
il vas decided by the association OF
growers. which largely controls tho
shipment OF fruit, that the golden
spheres should be wrapped in tissue
paper, which was designed TO accom-
plish this purpose. but It was found
that the mission Of the wrapper was
not successful in this respect. in that
the papers were removed without so
much as a glance In many cases tho
removal took place before the fruit
was delivered 10 the consumer. II is
thought that n decorative circlet like
the cigar band will accomplish the
desired purpose, for II will in all
probability be allowed 10 remain on
the fruit until 1t reaches the corsum-
er, and In this way those who are
partial TO oranges will become ac-
quainted with the qualities OF the diff
ferent kinds and those OF different
growers.

Spider on the Payroll.

tells this story OF the canal zone.
One day his wife found n huge taran-
tula In the bathroom. The creature
was almost as big as the palm of ones
hand. and presented a truly terrible
aspect.
The woman fed in terror, and her
husband went in and crushed the big
spider with the heel OF a boot.
On going down to dinner they en-
countered the proprietor.
I'VE have just killed n tremendous
tarantula up in our room!" said tho
American.
The proprietor started excitedly.
and clutched at his hair.

why not?" asked the American.

he explained. "They catch the flies
and the other insects. Why that
spider you killed was on the payroll"

Sometimes we hear of boys lucky
discoveries that rival the great find

But none of the exploits of which we
have recently read rivals that of two
Russian boys who ut play stumbled
upon what they thought were tin and
brass vessels. which have turned out
to be worth some $4,000. The vessels.
TO be sure. were not tin and brass, but
silver and gold. though this was not
learned until the Archaeological Socie-
ty of st. Petersburg heard of the mat
ter and sent an expert TO investigate It.
OF course, the mere fact that the ar
ticles are of precious metal makes
them valuable. but the chief interest in
them centers in the fact that they are
so old and have been buried in the
earth so long. Some of the beakers anu
dishes discovered are thought TO be
over 1900 years old. having come down
TO us from the fourth or fifth century.
