The Air Route To England.

The repeated scares that Eng
land has experienced from reports
Of mysterious aircraft flying over
her cities and coast defences, COM
ing from out the dark, disappearing
no one knows whittier, have been
rather a source of amusement to
us On this side the water. But to
England they have been real. While
work on so needed commercial
undertaking as the Calais-Dover rail
road tube lies suspended, its COM
pletion forbidden because of the
danger that might threaten her in
sularity through it, it can hardly be
comforting to feel that a new means
Of invading her, against which naval
and land defenses are impotent has
been invented and is being tested.
So we can understand the need of
the aerial navigation act, which
has just gone into effect, and which
puts severe restrictions on the
French and German habit of making
that tempting channel fight just to
see the Lion have fit. AS the
first act of its kind, its provisions
are worth noting. We take this re-
sumo of them from the Spectator:
ANY aircraft which flies over a
prohibited area or fails to comply
with the Orders is liable to be fired
of cio h nl1C
by day, red rockets by night-have
been fired at 1O-second intervals.
Espionage by means of aircraft is
punishable by seven years penal
servitude There is a list of pro-
hibited areas, which includes naval
and military bases, Notifications, and
so forth. 1t is required that per-
son in charge of an airship coming
from abroad shall receive permission
from a consul to visit the United
Kingdom at least 48 hours before
beginning his voyage. In the case
of an aeroplane Is hours notice
must be given to the Home Office.
A landing fee of three pounds is
chargeable on an airship and of one
pound on ma aeroplane. An airship
while cruising in the United King
dom shall carry British represen-
tative, and before departing shall
port. Foreign naval or military air
craft are allowed to enter the
United Kingdom only with the ex-
press permission of the Govern
ment."
Violation of any one of these
rules, be it marked, calls for fine
of $1,000, six months Imprisonment,
or both; fairly severe alternative
to being fired on and brought down
like a wounded bird. But to make
assurance doubly sure, the Specta-
tor, while commenting the orders
SO far as they go, calls vigorously
for the creation of an air fleet the
better to enforce them.
Somehow or other, the 5000 miles
o. Atlantic ocean that separates
America from the need of such mea-
sures seem none too few.-Balti-

PICKED THE WRONG NIGHTIE

Good One, but It Failed to
Work Out.

A waiter In a certain cafe has for
sworn nightshirts for pajamas, and
thereby hangs a tale.
This waiter, Hans by name, was for
a long while accustomed to come home
at night with his pockets full of sill
rer, his "tips" for the day, and his
wife, when he had fallen asleep, would
raid the silver supply Hans, Of
course. was quite aware Of this unkind
proceeding on his wife's part, but
he said nothing as he racked his Teu-
tonic brains for a scheme that would
put an end to this sort Of thing.
One night he waited until his spouse
had sunk In slumber. Then he got up,
took all the silver from his pockets,
crept silently back to bed and tied all
the money in corner Of his night
shirt. He congratulated himself On
his cleverness, figuring that he had
devised means to stop the raids.

Solomon and the Forests.

One of the most remarkable illustrs-
tions In all history of the Ill effects Of
the disappearance Of forests may be
served in Palestine, says the Christian
Herald. In the days when Joshua
conquered the promised land Palestine
was wonderfully fertile country,
land flowing with milk and honey. The
Lebanon mountains were heavily
wooded, and large population was
supported In comfort. The general
devastation of the forests brought
about, however, a gradual deteriora-
tion of the country. The hills of Gall
lee, which had long served as pasture
lands for large herds of cattle and
sheep, are now sterile. The Jordan
has become an Insignificant stream,
and several smaller rivers are now
completely dried up throughout the
greater part of the year. Some few
valleys in which fertile earth washed
down from the hills has been depos-
tied have retained their old fertility.
The land today supports only one
sixth the population Of the time Of
Solomon.

NO PLACE OF ENTERTAINMENT
Campaigning Statesmen Found a Rea.
son for Primitive Faro They En-
countered In Noble Mansion.

When / was making my cam
paign last fall" said Representative
Fields Of Kentucky, 81 started out to
cover county in which I was but
little acquainted. Believing, like
Polonius, that fine front was a
valuable asset, I arrayed myself in
my best. When l got off the train
at the county seat, whence l was to
make my start, I met the candidate
for judge on my ticket, and, making
known to him my views, found he
agreed with me.
Accordingly, after putting up in
the best quarters at the best hotel in
the town, we next morning engaged
the handsomest rig the best livery
stable could boast. and, with
naughty driver on the box, sailed
forth to conquer.
Might overlook US some miles from
the village at which we had expect
ed to put up, but soon after 1t fell we
spied through the gloom an imposing
looking mansion with many lights
agleam.
Ringing the bell, we announced
ourselves; whereupon hospitable
gentleman came out and ushered us
into parlor whose modest furnish
ing seemed out of all keeping with
the dignity and size Of the mansion.
When, later, we went to a belated
supper, we were astonished to find a
spacious dining-room furnished as
barely as the parlor.
It's the true yeoman spirit!' ex-
planned the candidate for Judge, and
we got through a most meager meal
as best we could.
1--WE were up betimes next morn
ing, after sleeping in most primitive
quarters, that did injustice to the
noble mansion, and after breakfast
on par with the supper we got in
our rig and started away. Reaching
the summit Of hill some half a mile
away, we paused % look back at our
nights resting place. Just then a
horseman drew up beside us.
What place is that?' I queried.

Between z RAYS,

The general Of the confederated Eu-
ropean army and navy had arrived on
the scene Of action. The first line Of
resistance was down, and he believed
the American continent ready for 90
cupancy. In his official aeroplans he
had hurried to take command.
Shortly after his arrivel the scout
ing cruiser. Beelzebub, ran into the
second line Of 2 rays and so reported
BY wireless to the admiral's ship. The
man OF war shook his fist toward the
west: You will not escape me, new
ertheless!" He was angry and gave
hurried orders to lay the necessary
