AvIAToRs AFTER $4,000 PRIZE.

Paris, April 20.-Riley E. Scott, an
American, is considered most likely to
win the $4,000 prize offered by An
DIRE Micheln for accuracy in dropping
bombs" from an aeroplane in a con-
test to be held tomorrow. Scott who
was formerly lieutenant in the Uni
ted States Army, has invented a gun
for shooting bombs from an aeroplane,
which he declares will make the flying
machine the most deadly instrument
known in warfare.
Scott has been practicing with his
machine at Villa Coublain, near Yer
sailles, and the accuracy he has dis
played has startled all observers of
his feats. The condition of tomor-
rows contest demand that an aviator
flying at an altitude of $50 feet drop
five projectiles, each weighing fifteen
pounds, aiming them at circular tar
get with a radius of about thirty-fve
feet The time limit is fifty minutes.
Aviator Scott is from Montcalm,
Virginia, and has been flying for some
time.
1T is difficult to drop bombs with
any accuracy" admitted Scott in the
course of an interview, "and one who
has never tried it has no idea of the
great feat it is to hit ten-metre tar
get from a height of 200 metres. From
that altitude the target looks to be
about the size of silver dollar. How
ever, | have so improved my bomb

In America that | can put half the

a target from that height. In recent
trial | dropped three bombs, one of
which landed two feet from the center

three feet from the center, and the
third landed on the line marking the
circle. That was nothing unusual,

have only two rivals in the contest,
and, without my gun, do not believe

IS another great war believe the
aeroplanes will be so destructive as
to force the nations to peace"

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.

Where the surface soil is underlaid
with layer of compact subsoil or
hardpan that is impervious to water
and impenetrable to the roots of
growing crops, the rain runs off
quickly and the land suffers severely
in times of drouth.
Blowing up with dynamite this
compact subsoil to form underground
reservoirs has been tried with good
results, says Farm asd Home. Bore
holes in the ground two to six feet
deep and from 20 to 80 feet apart
according to the nature and com
pactness of the subsoil and hardpan.
About so sticks of dynamite are used
per acre, which cost $1.50 with caps
and fuse.
An ordinary two-inch auger with
a long handle is used and a half.
pound stick of blasting powder is
placed in each hole. The explosion
breaks the ground all around for a
distance OF 10 to Is feet, makes an
opening at the surface 3 to 10 inches

INFORMATION CONCERNING
PELLAGRA.

The discovery that pellagra is a
widely prevalent disease in this conn
try, particularly in the south. has
made it subject of unusual medical
and public interest. The Southern
Medical Journal devotes the entire
March issue to a symposium of thir-
teen papers on pellagra, all of which
were read before the Southern Medi-
cal Association last November. These.
with the discussions constitute a valu-
able contribution to our knowledge of
pellagro. The papers are by physi-
clans of the South, some of them
health officers, who have been brought
In direct contact with the disease for
some years. The symposium is partic-
ularly valuable in that it gives the re-
suits of the observation and conclus-
ions of number of different men of
practical experience, rather than those
of one man, as in a textbook. While
the exact cause Of the disease has not
been determined and no definite form
of treatment devised, yet it is worthy
of note that the tendency of opinion
is toward a hopeful prognosis when
treatment is begun before the disease
is too far advanced.
