opened for human ingenuity. One OF
the latest military devices, in which the
sustaining property Of the air plays
chief part. is a German invention for
revealing the position and movements Of
an enemy's forces during the night.
The apparatus Is called a ''projec-

special form of prOjectile, which can
be fired from a field gun. at high ele-

parachute that begins TO open as soon

THE LANE OF LIFE
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

n BABYHOOD Of wailing,
~ OF every infant ailing;
OF safety pins
And blinking grins
And squawking unavailing.
A childhood full of playing,
A time of barefoot Maying,
A mother there
To watch and care
And keep your feet from straying.
A youth of passion burning,
All sager counsel spurning;
A journey fleet
Along the street
That knows of none returning.
Old age, with illness coping;
Old age, no longer hoping;
One fieeting breath
From birth to death
And after that-the cropping.

few hours, and the good dame Of the
cottage expressed herself as entirely
at his service
But as he entered the quaint little
parlor he gave a start OF surprise, for
there fronting him over the mantel-

Masie Macdonald the exact replica Of

there were others showing her at va
