DISTAGRAPH IN AIR

Paris. August 31. = Especially = The dictagraph is the latest scientific in- vention to be applied to the aeroplane. In order to reduce the dead weight the small swift monoplanes used by the French army for reconnaissance work do not carry a passenger or observer, who would be of invaluable assist ance in keeping a record of observa- tons made during a flight.
 Experiments are about to be made with special apparatus fastened to tube brought around under his arm within easy distance of his mouth.
 The airman, who cannot write as his hands are occupied with the levers, will speak his observations into the tube, and they will be immediately recorded on the sensitive disc of the apparatus fastened to his back. A simple mechanism enables him to change the disc without inconvenience.
 The dictograph is really a telephone that talks. It records on a sensitive disc all that is spoken in the vicinity of 1t. and when this disc is transferred to another instrument the speakers words are repeated as by photograph. By means of a hidden dictograph de- tectives were able to listen to incrimi- in the McNamara dynamitevbgk qjmfwy the McNamara dynamite conspiracy trial in America last February.

the interesting Jupiter may still be well studied, Ii is very low in the southwest. just above the bright star Antares; when the change of the seasons has again brought this planet into our evening sky We will see that 1t has moved into Sagit tarius, nearly across the Milky Way.
 At about 20 minutes past g o'clock on September the observer may see the beautiful Pleiades Just rising in the north east, and an hour later the group of the Hyades will also emerge from the ground. The planet saturn will at once attracr attention in this part of the sky as it shines out half way between these two groups with more than twice the bright ness of a first magnitude star.

THE HEAVENS IN SEPTEMBER
Partial Eclipse of the Moon-Mercury Now Morning Star-The

Mercury Is now a morning star. On September it reaches its greatest dis lance west of the sun and may then be seen rising in the northeast about one and one-half hours before sunrise.
 Venus sets almost at the west point of the horizon. about 60 minutes after sunset on September l. which time Is increased to about hour and 12 minutes by the end

 The Partial Eclipse of the Moon
 On the morning of September 26 the full moon will pass very little way into the earth's shadow and a part of it's light will be cut off.
 The Heavens in September
 As the summer draws to it's close we sgain witness the gradual but steady transformation of the face of the heavens Into the autumn and early winter sky. The characteristic summer group of the Scorpion has half disappeared in the southwest; the great constellation of the Virgin has wholly gone. while the Bal ances. the Serpent and the brilliant. gold en Arcturus have sunk nearly to the western horizon. Meanwhile the beauti- full groups of Andromeda and Pegasus have already climbed half way to the zenith in the east. and again we welcome the royal star, Fomalhaut, which this month reappears to pursue it's short course across the southern heavens after an absence of nearly year.
 The September Stars
 If the observer will face toward the rorth on any clear, moonless evening of September. he will readily find the Great Dipper, now lying in nearly upright po- siton. slightly above the ground. while above this he may with somewhat more difficulty trace out the inverted and far fainter Little Dipper Between the two groups there lie the coils of the Dragon. which entire figure can now be easily traced out from the extreme tip of the tail below the North Star to the striking quadrangle of stars at M Figure 1, which mark it's head. All of it's stars marked A in Figure 1 are easily seen double in small telescope, and some of them are very beautiful objects The highest sta, of all at the upper end of the group marking the head, is a celebrated star. which 1000 years ago was nearer the pole of the heavens than any other Many early temples were dedicated to 1t, and it was worshiped in the Boeotian Thebes- the City of the Dragon. The remarkabl modern discovery of the abberation of light was made from observations on this star.
 On the opopste side of the pole from the Dragon there will be seen the brilliant yellow solar star, Capella, which now lies almost on the horizon. Above this stands Perseus, the rescuer of Andromeda. whose place is marked by an irregular group of bright stars. one of which is the won derful demon star, Algol, five-sixths of whose light is periodically cut off by the passage of a darker star between Algol and us This star may be seen to have reached it's greatest faintness this month. on September U at hour minute a. m on September F at 10 hours 20 minutes, D. m., and on September 20 at hours 9 minutes.

CHAPTER XXI.

The Last Resort Of Kings and Men.
The sudden entrant upon quarrel
between others is invariably at a dis
advantage. Usually he is unaware
of the cause of difference and general
ly he has no idea of the stage of de-
velopment of the affair that has been
reached. Newbold suffered from this
lack of knowledge and to these dis
advantages we're added others. For
instance, he had not the faintest idea
as to who or what was the stranger.

slant Newbold had entered the room
Armstrong had thirsted to leap upon
him, and he meant to do it. One or
the other of them, he swore in his
heart, should never leave that room
alive.
But Newbold should have his chance.
Armstrong was as brave, as fearless.
as intrepid, as any nSam on earth.
There was much that was admirable
in his character; he would not take
any man at disadvantage in an en-
counter such as he proposed. He
would not hesitate to rob man of his
wife If he could, and he would not
shrink from any deceit necessary to
gain his purpose with a woman, for
good or evil, but he had his own ideas
of honor. he would not shoot an en-
envy in the back for instance.
Singular perversion, this, to which
