Frorn the London standard.

.LL- - lEAAS N0A@1AA ~ -
The information received recently
n a two German airmen had been
killed, n at the Johannisthal aero
dome and one in W~estphalia, Is an
item ofsnews which In itself receives
but little space in the columns OF the
so accustomed now to the idea OF avta-
ton that a fatal accident from flying Il
regarded as much on the sans plane
as a fatal accident due TO m~otoryina
or any other cause. And yet only
three or four years ago the death Of
one OF he pioneers OF aviation, such
as g. s. Rolls, at B~ournemouth, or Doll
lagrange, In France, was an event that
aroused the greatest interest Ear and
wide.
This lessening OF general interest IN
aviation accidents IS due to two causes
firstly, the great progress that avia-
doL has made In q few years; and,
secondly, the melancholy fact that
aviation fatalities have become 20 fire.
Quent that, unless there is something
of a sensational nature attached 20
them, or unless the man Is exceptional
ly well known, as S.. r. Cody was, the
public is no longer vitality interested.
That statement that q man Is killed In
navigating the air has already be-
come a commonplace Of daily life, so
quickly have we advanced in flvA years.

flying with engines really began, and

neers and experimenters, such as

ant Selfridge was killed while flying In
America with Orville Wright, the ia

Soak Seed for Smut.
From the National Crop Improvement
I. .. 1900 Qarvtco r. 10 a EEEaa

G. b. Hutchinson, OF the Missouri
Agricultural college, states that mere
sprinkling OF formaldehyde on seed
wheat Is not sufficient, as II does not
clean out the infection from the grain.
He recommends soaking the seed In q
solution OF one pound OF formaIde-
hyde to 40 gallons OF water. slrimrning
or the Hight kernels that float to the
surface.
The crop committee also recon-
mends that every neighborhood club
appoint a committee to inspect the
seed wheat OF each member, and OBJ
tain a smut machine and eradicate the
smut systematically from every dis
trict, which is the only way that It
can be done. A tanning and grading
machine Is efficient and economical
and Is imperative In seed selection.

Naturally the bandmaster. who was

was the complaint about It.
Why, sir" said the irascibIe colonel,
"the men who march In the front rank
and play those instruments they push
In and out"--meaning the trombones-
cannot keep time, siri They never by
any chance push In and out together.
I'll have IL changed. let me tell you
IL was no good the bandmaster en-
