AvlAToRs ARE POORLY PAID
Even Best Flyers Get Small Re-
Enumeration for the Dangers
They Face.

The popular supposition that avia-
ton Is sort of Klondike where poo
pie who have certain amount Of dar-
ing can 20 and snatch up fortune 10
decidedly mistaken. People read re-
ports Of big prizes won by aviators In
contests and take for granted that It
all goes to the flyers. That Is wrong;
with few exceptions the flyers do
not get the prizes they win. They
ore employed to fly by big concerns
who pay them salary, seldom ex-
ceeding SIS per week, the usual ar.
rangement being from $25 to $40 per
week salary and $50 per day when
they fly at meets This Is true even
where the very best American and
foreign flyers are concerned, includ.
Ing such celebrities as Brookins,
Beachey, Ely and others.
Nor is the lot of the independent
flyer any better, To keep UP with the
flyers of big concerns continuous i'm.
provement of their machines-which
must, OF course, always be OF the very
best--is necessary. What with the
cost Of the -aeroplane, Of running It,
keeping 1t in good condition. salary Of
mechanic and general expenses, the
prizes the aviator gets become rather
small by the time the expenses are
deducted The fact that prizes are
now given only to winners Of contests
makes the prospect none too attrac-
tice Aviation does hold prizes for
ambitious young men, but very few
OF the kind imagined by the outside
public. In fact, there Is a slough Of
despond awaiting the unwary who
venture into aviation with no other
intention than to make money quick.

LIGHTS UP DARK PLACES
New Illuminating Pistol Has Advan-
tages Over SearchIieht for
Night Attacks.

During the recent extended maneu
vers Of the German army there were
many night attacks, In which use was
made Of the newly introduced illumi
mating pistols.
According to the new regulations,
these are to be employed wherever
the configuration Of the land makes
their use preferable to that of the or
binary searchlight. The machinery
necessary for the use of the latter
device is very inconvenient, and espe-
cially In rolling and otherwise diff
cult country, where the main maneu-
vers take place, 1t cannot be used to
advantage. The Illuminating pistols
have not this disadvantage. as they
are easily transported.
Further, the searchlight is useless
In valleys and deep-lying plains. as
their rays shoot over these and leave
them apparently in still deeper shad-
ow. For this reason, such valleys
serve as excellent covers at night
against the searchlights. The illumi-
mating pistols have done away with
this advantage of shelter, as the cart
ridges which they throw light up the
deepest and~darkest gullies.
There are two different sorts of car
tridges, producing respectively white
and red light. The white ones serve
for signaling purposes between widely
separated commands or divisions.
even where the distance between
them is several kilometers. The illu-
minating cartridges develops a light
that makes everything within 200
meters 1850 feet) visible, and lasts
eight to ten seconds. --Scientific Amer.

That End Seat.

The season for the END seat hog.
is passed, so far as the trolley cars
are concerned, but It Is just begin
ming elsewhere--shall we say It. and
we hate to say It, In the churches? Ia
It possible that there Is where the
warrant for the practice in the trolley
comes from? People see 1t In the
church. and OF course justify 1t In the
street car. 1t may not always be so,
but insisting on holding an end seat
and making others push BY or climb
over has tinge OF selfishness In It
that looks very strange in a church
whose gospel is unselfshness. There
is NO place where the Christian spirit
shows up more finely than where one
moves up and gives his brother or sis
ter a choice seat. It Is way OF pre-
ferring one another" that the Scrip.

ORIGIN OF FAMOUS PHRASE
Belief that Common Political Term
sprang From Horse Race Held
In Tennessee.

The political term dark horse" is
thought to have had its origin In the
following circumstances:
In the last century there lived in
Tennessee Character" named Flynn,
an elderly person who dealt In horses.
Flynn generally contrived to own a
speedy nag or two for racing purposes
if he could arrange for "a good thing"
during his peregrinations throughout
the state.
The best of Flynn's flyers was a
coal black stallion named Dusky Pete,
almost thoroughbred and able to go
in the best of company.
One day Flynn visited a town where
a race meeting was in progress. He
entered Pete. The people, knowing
nothing of the horses antecedents and
not being over impressed by his ap-
pearance, backed the local favorite
heavily against the stranger.
Just as the beasts were being sad
led for the race, a certain Judge Nc
Minamee, who was the oracle of
that part of the state, arrived on the
course and was made one Of the race
Judges.
AS he took his place on the stand he
was told of the folly of the owner of
the strange entry. Running his eye
over the track the Judge instantly rec
Dgnized Pete. Gentlemen" said Nc
Minamee, there's dark horse in this
race, as you'll soon find out"
He was right. Pete. "the dark horse"
lay back until the three-quarter pole
was reached, when he went to the
front with a rush and won the race.

Of an ochre tint, and his mysterious
behavior has baffied the wisest sleuths
in the station. When the men begin
their tours on the stationary or peg"
posts at ten o'clock at night, the dog
comes trotting from somewhere and
takes up his station with whichever
policeman on duty in the precinct suits
his fancy for that particular night.
frequently he changes from one post
another, and remains On watch
until the stationary posts give way
to regular patrol at six in; the morn
ing. Then he trots away, and is not
;een until the next night. Offers of
idbits from the mems lunches have
been repeatedly refused by Peg Post
and his agility has thus far prevented
any one from learning the number of
the dog license he wears ON his collar.

Aid TO the unIovely.
