Revolving Airsheds.

The winds will be shorn of their terrors
in the future. however. by revolving air
sheds, which can be so manipulated as to
bring out a ship in the teeth of any air
current of moderate velocity. The high
military value of the Zeppelin, more than
anything else. perhaps. is responsible 70,
the innovation. as the army demands air
vessels that may be used under all atmos-
pheric conditions.
What the Zeppelins will cost in the
event of big war. rather than the bene-
fits they Will accomplish, is an item in
the latest estimate of the cost of Ger
many's next war. Capt. Henke of the
German general staff has been studying
the financial end of such a war, and has
made public his deductions.
With 100000 men in the field he esti-
mates that the fatherland would spend
$2,6WOOO 600 a year-more than twice the
present national debt. This stupendous
figure represents nearly 81 per cent of
the earning capacity of the entire nation
on a peace footing, Capt. Henke esti-
mates.

War Costs Compared.

This conclusion is reached by comparing
the costs of the Franco-Pruss.an and
Russo-Japanese wars.
In the Franco-Prussian war it cost Ger
many 81 LAB a man day to keep its forces
in the field; Russia paid $o.oo a man a
day during the Manchurian campaign
Germany would spend as much as Russia.
Capt. Henke reckons, but would be able
to afford it. The earnings OF the Ger
man people Capt. Henke places at ST.

THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT

Constant growth in the importance
Of the position OF State superinten-
dent Of schools is reported by the
United States Bureau of Education.
In his survey OF the educational leg
islation for the year j C Boykin de-
clares
"The Importance of the office con-
stantly Increases. New duties and
Responsibilities are steadily added
and larger salaries are offered 20 at
tract and hold men OF the caliber tc
make the position in fact as well as
IN name the head of the State educa-
tional system.
"The tendencies are all IN the de
rection OF increasing the dignity, re-
sponsibility. and salary of the State
superintendent The legislation Of
the year contained many instances
In point. The commissioner of edu-
cation In Massachusetts was authorA
lied 10 approve bills for expenditures
from funds placed under the direction
of the Board of Education. In New
Jersey the State commissioner Of edu-
cation now appoints all the county SUI
perintendents. He also determines
and certfes to the educational quail
fcations of applicants for admission to
medical colleges.
I'm Virginia the State superintend-
ent Is charged with similar duties IN
connection with medical colleges.
I'm Kentucky It was enacted that
the State superintendent shall act as
special State inspector and examiner
of all schools in the State which re-
ceive public funds; he may appoint
two assistants at $1,000 each per an
mum, with their expenses for travel
ing; and he is allowed $4,000 addition
al for clerk hire. In vague and
general way the superintendent prob
ably had already the power given him
BY this law, but II is now definite and
specific. and the additional help given
him will enable him TO perform his
duties in an effective manner not pos
slble hitherto. And the $500 added
TO his salary will prove to be a differ
ence that Is very real"
Although the tendency to increase
the power and responsibility of the
state superintendent is very strong

kept pace with the requirements, ac-
cording to the report 1T is still un-
fortunately true" says Mr.. Boykin,

City Council last night received a
petition signed by four property own
ers on the south side Of Tenth street
between Washington and Jefferson
streets requesting that body to re-
woke a permit issued by Building
Inspector Cassidy TO DR.. A. E. Frantz
to build an addition to a garage in
the rear Of his home.
The petitioners claim that the gar
age is within forty feet Of property

of the city ordinance and further than
this. is a nuisance in the neighbor-
hood and an annoyance to people liv-
ing there
Following the reading OF the COM
munication It was referred 70 Coun-
Gil as committee of the whole.
Councilman Bilderback contended
that neither the building committee
nor Council had any jurisdiction as
the garage was a private one and for
Dr Frantzs machines alone.
There we're no further remarks and
later the Council took a recess for
fifteen minutes to consider the mat
ter It was then decided to have all
