Aeroplane sIqnaIs.

There has been tried in France am
apparatus for signaling from aero
planes used in the war, consisting Of
a reservoir OF iaapbiach, which is on
nected with a supply Of compressed
air.
The aviator, by means Of a valve
within reach of his hand, can blow out
a-cloud of lampblack of a size varying
according to the length Of pressure OF
his hand upon the valve. These small
clouds can be seen from a distance Of
six miles, and the movement of the
aeroplane spaces them sufficiently to
prevent them running together.
BY the use OF the Morse code it is an
easy matter to send signals in this
way from an aeroplane, and in addi-
ton it saves the necessity of a wire
less receiving station, which is often
difficult to operate during a campaign

SEIZED A GERMAN MEAL

Incidents Of soldier life in the fighting zone are
read eagerly in London. How a small party OF
British cavalry cheated some Germans of their
supper is told in the following words:
a small party were out on reconnaissance
work, securing woods and searching the country
side. Just about dusk a hail of bullets came upon
our party from a small spinney of fir trees on the
side of a hill. We instantly wheeled off as if we
were retreating. but, in fact, we merely pretended
to retire and galloped around across plowed land
to the other side of the spinney, fired on the men
and they mounted their horses and flew like light
ming out of their supper ROOM leaving a finely
cooked repast of beefsteak, onions and fried pota-
toes all ready and done to a turn with about fifty
bottles of lager beer, which was an acceptable rel
ish to our meal. Ten of our men gave chase and
returned FOR an excellent feed"

other equally ingenious contrivances. Messages

reduced TO the smallest possible size which the
pros carry and which weigh the mere fraction
OF an ounce.
Recently there appeared an account of the cap
ture OF a German spy. He was riding on a train
IN Belgium. The spy noticed that he was under
surveillance and hurriedly wrote the information
ne had in his possession and released his winged
messenger from the window Of the train. The
spy was captured, but the message could not be
stopped.
These messengers Of war sometimes are called
carrier pigeons. They are not. Carrier pigeons
lack the instinct that enables the homers to re-
turn to their cote. Carrier pigeons are only for
the purpose of display at pet stock shows.
Many nations have established pigeon posts,
where birds are trained to fly from one city to
another, or from one island to another. They
are much faster than train or steamboats, and a
message is much safer in their care. They are
numbered today as one of the most deadly mes
sengers of war.
The first news of the siege of Ladysmith, dur
ing the Boer war, was carried by homing pigeons.

The news dispatches carry the i'm
preston that the tower on Stratton

theory set forth in the New York Med

Fear without visceral change can
not occur" say these doctors. "Ab-
sence of visceral change implies alb
sence Of emotion. To control visceral
change is to control emotion. To min
imize visceral change is to minimize
emotion.
Deep breathing slows the hearts
rate. The changing of hurried, shall
low breathing into slow, deep breath
ing and the reducing Of the hearts
rate mitigate or dispel fear. So long
as the breathing remains controlled
and the heart slow, no considerable
fear or excitement cal exist"
Thus, to cure terror n has but to

eanaax:u.n.s Has Sand,

The production of sand and graveR
in Pennsylvania in 1913 was 6,702, 49S'
tons, valued at $4,s81,692, against
6,509,333 tons, valued at $4,371,513 in
1912, according to the United States
Geological survey. Building sand is
he most important product of this
character in the state, but of greater
relative Importance is glass sand, in
he production of which Pennsylvania
ranks first among the states. In the.
value of the sand produced, although
not in the quantity, Pennsylvania
ranks first, the precedence in value
being due to the high value of the
glass sand COMPARED to other kinds.

The wide, detachable collars so
much worn these days are an awk-
ward shape to put away WITHOUT
wrinkling.' A case to hold them can
be made by covering two sheets of
cardboard about Is by 10 inches with
linen. Across the inner surface of
one put two strips of the inen with a
buttonhole in the ends to meet a but
ton on the case. These will hold the
collars in place. Attach the two sec
tons at the bottom, hinge fashion, and
sew two rings to the top, one in each
corner. Suspend the case by the
rings from the wall beside the dresser
and let down the to select the
collar. Then close by a tape loop
about the button at the top.

KEEPING HANDS IN CONDITION
During Frosty Weather They Need
Much Care and Will Repay At
tention Given.

It is very difficult to keep the hands
soft in frosty weather, especially If
one is ones own housemafd.
An inexpensive wash if one has
some leftover milk on hand is to soak
them in warn milk. A bottle OF
glycerin and rose water kept on the
bathroom shelf and applied when the
hands are wet after washing, will
help also. Vaseline may promote q
growth of hair on the hands, but there
Is nothing better for ~loosening dirt
under the nails than a little vaseline
pushed under the nail at night before
retiring; it not only removes the soil,
but 1ubricates the nail itself and pre-
vents it from becoming brittle.
