than luncheon, and all served as though
the chef and walters had the conven-
fences of q great hotel at their COM
mand The principles Of the freless
cooker had been brought into service in
preparing the food, the exhaust from the
engines being made to supply heat. After
luncheon several passengers dozed COM
fortably in their arm chairs, enjoying the
sun that shone through the starboard
windows. A better place for an after
noon nap than the cabin of Zeppelin
airship cannot well be imagined. Shortly
before 3 O'Clock we passed the lofty
wireless tower at Nauen, from which
messages have frequently been sent to
and received from stations 5000 miles dis
tant. Our own wireless was busy, but
German reticenee made 1t impossible for
the passengers to learn results. After
Nauen, Spandau and charlottenburg came
quickly, into view. We were over the
Imperial palace 10 minutes before A o. clock

less than four hours.

no untoward incident. Every moment or
the voyage was filled with pleasure. We
came to earth rested and refreshed, with
none of that dusty worn feeling that fas-

That we were fortunate in the weather
encountered is true, but 1t Is also true
that no Zeppelin airship has ever had a
serious accident while in the air, though
several have been destroyed while rid

for the needs of London. And in press
ing the little button which started the
machinery of the pumping station work
ing the King inaugurated a revolu-
tion IN engineering which, at its very
birth, has wrought great changes and
may lead to unimagined possibilities.
1t Is a revolution which ought to in
terest every London householder each
time that he turns on the tap in the
kitchen or the bathroom, for while he
IS working at the Office or the factory,
and thinking that the most important
matter in the world, big brains and
great enterprises are constantly in mo-
tion SO that there may be no hitch in
his smallest needs.
The reservoir itself is wonderful. A
walk round the inner parapet below
which in a week or two the water will
lap, comes to exactly four miles and a
quarter. The area of the reservoir is
over $50 acres, and Its capacity some
5000, 100000 gallons. But the ordinary
mind cannot hope to grasp such a
figure as three thousand million gallons,
any more than it can appreciate how
far away the sun is. The best way TO
put It is that this reservoir constructed
after five years work, Is very big
lake, with maximum depth of about
40 feet. ene-third down its length ii IS
cut in two by a huge breallwater, so
that in stormy weather the waver of
the lake will not assume destructive
proportions. That gives also a good
idea of the size of the sheet of water

an old story in Germany. Hamburg was
reached just and hour and a half after we
left Bremen behind. Again we made great
loops over the city, which, with its har-

out as though it had been modelled of
clay. From Hamburg we took a south

IN the direction of Berlin. At noon we

AERIAL LUNCHEON

From the London Globe.
The air trip from Dusseldorf to Berlin
ON the Victoria Luise, the new Zeppelin
airship, had been booked more than a
month in advance. And it was well that
the precaution had been taken. for the
demand for places on the giant Zeppelin
flyer is far beyond the airships capacity.
1t would seem as though all Germany
is clamouring for an opportunity to spend
its money in the air.
The viktoria Luise was advertised to
leave Dusseldorf at 4:30 in the morning,
and though I arrived at the airship dock
full hour before that time I found 1t
a place of life and energy. The pilot
was making a careful inspection of the
great ship while it still rode at anchor
were testing the motors and propellers,
while others were climbing through the
Upper structure to see that everything
was right and tight.
After the arrival of my fellow passen-
gers. who numbered %, the automatic
docking apparatus drew the ship into
the open,r and as we entered the cabin
there was not one of us who did not
show evidences of a fever of excitement
Air was pumped into the last ballonet
at the stern, and the Xiktoria Luise tilt
ed her nose at a rather sharp angle to-
ward the sky. SO nicely balanced was
the ship between lift and dead weight,
that the driving power of the motors was
required to send her upward like an aero
plane. AS soon as a satisfactory level
was reached the air was discharged. and
we assumed q perfectly level position.

In the United States alone some bill

These matches burned In a day
amount to over two carloads of the

Some 20 tall trees have to be cut to
produce this huge pile, If only "a

Modern Farms Over Ancient City

From the Christian Herald
When We leave the walls to go down
into the city, We can hardly believe that
we are on the site of the ancient Assyrian
capital. There are hundreds of acres
of barley growing in it's season; hun
dreds of camels are grazing over the
waste places. Here and there are small
black tents of the Arabs who have set
tied within the-walls. Along the shores
of the Khasr are patches of melons and
vineyards, and one prosperous Arab has
built an imposing summer home The
greater part of the surface of Nineveh
differs not at all from the surrounding
plain. !
