liam Powers. was badly injured. Tues
day, while at work in the Forest mills

hands were caught in the cards. and
although fellow employees quickly
stopped the machinery, one hand was
so mangled that it was necessary to
amputate it, and he may lose the other.
The old frigate Wabash is expected.
this week, and will be beached at Cros-
bys beach, at Broad cove, PASSPORT,

Waoasl. have rented one of the Nc
FAM cottages near Shackford's Head,
which they are to occupy while the
worl, is being done. The destruction of
the Wabash by fire may be postponed
until July Ath and be one of the at
fractions for the celebration to be held

Tree Scrapina a Fatal Fad.

There probably ought not to be any
controversy over what to do with the
bark zon the trees, but there is. The
question appears to be whether I"
take it off or leave 1t on, and there
are many tree owners in Massachu-
sets who take 1t off because of Sonie
within or love for appearance that up-
fortunately governs their decision.
There is one illustration of this in
West Medford, which is conspicuous
because of it's nearness to the Boston
& Maine railroad station where it Is
seen and commented upon by the
hundreds of people riding by it every
day. There is a little fruit orchard
which looks as if it had the best of
care, for the trees are scraped from
the ground way up through the small
branches. leaving a surface as smooth
as if it had been sandpa pered. II
gives to the trees a light-brown an
pearance People observing it almos.
unconsciously exclaim, Don't those
trees look fine!"
Other tree owners in the city nave
thought the same way about them ana
have copied the treatment. and Med
ford is not the only city in which
orchard and shade trees have peeh
| almost stripped of their bark In ofder
that they may look well and nave 4

moths.

grown beyond the safety line. 1t mas

sets, or it may be misunderstood
utility measure and State Forester
| Rane warns against 1t. There Is
serious instance of it in Weston, where
the trees on one large estate have
been scraped so far into the substance
of the bark that there is danger or
their dying. An expert has been con-
suited about saving their life, and he

them The natural protection which

life is oozing out by degrees. 1t IS
believed to be necessary to replace

2erated. A drgibe which discharges
its cargo of, say, 90 shells, each weigh
ing 50 or even 100 pounds, would do
little damage in the most crowded
cities. Bomb dropping at night will be
a frequent occurrence in war time.
Every war of the future, whether it
be waged on land or on sea, will be
preuded by series of fierce air-b
ties. In view of this fact. witness the
great strength of foreign air battal-
ions.
According to Aeronautics. Germany
wild in few months possess q dirigi-
bles of high power. carrying capacity,
and speed. OF these at least Is are
military or naval craft. The drigible
Zeppelin l.. |. recently delivered to
the German navy, has volume of 49,
900 cubic feet, a speed of 81 miles per
hour. and a useful load of 1900 pounds.
It's length is 525 feet, and diameter of
~ feet. 1t is equipped with wireless
apparatus, and carries one gun at
least The crew of this vessel consists
of two naval officers, one engineer Of
ficer one pilot and ten men. The
Schutte-Lanx S. l.. dirgible is fitted
with an armored platform on each
side, on which a gun can be mounted.
Germany also possesses a fleet of 250
aereplanes, 120 of which are OF the lat
est design and make.
By next June France will have %
dlrigibles, of which number 20 are for
naval or military purposes. Her larg-
est Is the Speiss, whose colume is AUG,
eco public feet, and speed so miles per
hour. In 1912 France purchased 400
aeroplanes of war, and it is authorita-
lively stated that this number will be
greatly exceeded in 1918. The French
biplane of war is capable of accom-
odating three persons, though ordi-
narily only two will be carried-name-
ly the aviator and the observer. The
latter is armed with a repeating rifle
fer use against hostile aircraft.
Russa's new dirigibe. the Alpatross,
which is driven by two 100-horsepow-
er motors. carries a wireless installa-
tioa and one machine gun. A Henri
Farman biplane which lately passed
it's tests for the Russian army is fitted
with u mitrailleuse. This aeroplane is
almost the only one in existence In
which there is clear field of fire. 1t is
difficult, however, to see how even
moderate accuracy of aim can be OBJ
tanned with such Il weapon, owing To
tie great vibration the engine causes
throughout the whole framework.
All the Powers, great and small, are
purchasing aircraft, and we are en-
deavoring to retrieve our past policy.
That policy seems to have been this:

Modern Thought conceives Of life -

iaere seems to have been of LATE

to the inorganic-when we consider
these and others like them, We seem
compelled to think of life as something,
some force or principle, in itself. as M.
Bergson does, existing apart from the
matter it animates. As Sir Oliver
Lodge does also. We may class Sir
