Churchyard Shouts

from Ilt-BttS.
In the days of the resurrectionists va.
rious means were devised to prevent the
nefarlous practice of body-sna tching.
Recumbent stones of huge dimensions
were frequently placed over tombs IN
lonely churchyards while burying places
were often made unapproachable by the
erection of mosaic railings. The services
of the local blacksmith were also requisi-
toned to rasten strong bars of iorn over
the coffins to poevent the possibility OF
the body being uplifted from It's resting
place.
In many churchyards watch houses
were erected, at the door Of which after
an interment careful watch and ward
was kept, and not a few tales were told
of mysterious beings surprised IN tho
midst of their shostly depredations.
In few places mort safes or dead
houses were constructed in which the
dead bodies were allowed to remain for
several weeks or until such length of
time as they were no longer servicea BILE

Trying Dirigible Again

Some inventors, after trying various
plans for improving the present dirigible
balloons, have come back to one of the
early ideas OF seronautics, namely, a
spherical dirigihle, or just an ordinary
balloon with its rather primitive basket,
or cradle. fitted with a motor and pro-
peller. A balloon of this kind has been
fitted out at Lemotte-Breuil by NJ. Le-
prince and recently he made a successful
trial trip with it of half an hour. sailing
frcm the shed and returning without dif-
fioulty. The cradle Is fitted with a To-
cylinder motor, and two ptopellers are
attached to a common shaft. which runs
through the lasket or frame. In this
way one of the propelers revolves for
ward and the other at the rear. A hori-
zontal plane, fitted beneath the cradle
acts as horizontal rudder.
Other inventors tried similar combina-
tins in the early days of ballooning. A
balloon OF this Kind, remember. was in
vented by Comte Henry oe la Nauix
for his Mediterranean trip, but he gave

senting the United States government
there is almost certain to be a mo-
mentous peace conference at The Hague
next year.
Although there was some expectation
OF the conference and certain prepara-
tions were already made for it. until
Within the past week there was GER
tain difdence among several of the
powers to the cenvocation of such a
gathering under the peculiar circum-
stances of existing international relations.
While popular impression has prevailed
that the conference was to meet at least
every seven years. cogent reasons urged
against any immediate action toward
convocation were the differences of opin-
Ion subssting between the powers re-
sarding questions of international mari
time law, the laws of the air and also
upon the elaborate American proposals
discussed at The Hague in 1907 for nsti-
tutng permanent International court of

The good offices of the French pres-
dent and the American premier have,

and the conference is now practically
