one of the most interesting facts
noted in the opening of the Auburn
schools is the mixture of nationalities
at the Lincoln school, where 257 pupils
are registered in eight classes. There
are SO French children, SO Hebrews
90 mixed, % American, IL Irish, IL
English, three German, two Danish,
two Lithuanians and two Polish. All
the pupils at the Washington street
school are French 80 in number, while
at the Eveleth school nearly all are
Of that descent. Many of these French
pupils cannot speak English when they
come in for the first time. Nor can
the teachers speak French. But the
alertness of the children makes the
task of teaching easier and the little
folks gain a mastery of the language
quickly.
Anyone who says the big game In
Maine is becoming extinct should talk
with Mrs. Stevens or Villa Libby of
Lee street Millinocket They can put
you wise as to where the call OF the
wild can be heard. On their berry
picking excursions within less than
an hours walk of the village they have
found moose, bear, Indian devils,
mountain lions, and deer in abundance.

One of the scientific and successful
gardeners of Lewiston is E. E. Bech-
ard of 72 Winter street. This gentle
man is something of a wizard in ex
perimenting and like Luther Burbank
is continually developing some new
idea in horticulture. One of his lat
est ventures in this line is the produc
ton of seedless apple. 1t appears
to be of the Greening variety and is
obviously of a high grade as one of
these trees has borne fruit this year.
The tree was grated with scion of
a seedless apple tree growing in Onta-
rio. The apples have almost no core
and this was due to seed easements
being eliminated. The trees do not
blossom. What looks like two folded
leaves generates apples. Mr.. Bechard
is testing the fruit of the seedless ap-
pie tree. He thinks he detects superior
flavor, and he judges from the solidity
Of the apple that it will have remarka-
BILE keeping qualities. 1t is noteworthy
that in Mr.. Bechard's group of trees is
a large apple tree which has never
produced fruit. The tree is from 81
scion of seedless apples. AS the seed
less orange is better fruit than the
orange loaded with what seems to be
superf1uous seeds, Mr.. Bechard seeks
to discover whether the seedless ap
pie orchard is to prove as serviceable
as seedless orange.

OF the army and in which there shall be officers
in number, and with rank while serving in the
corps as follows One officer Of the rank of
major, who shall be the commandant of the corps
and of the aviation school; two officers with the
rank of captain and not to exceed 80 officers with
the rank of lieutenant"
mo officer shall be detailed as commandant Of
the aviation corps unless he shall have displayed
especial skill and ability as a military aviator"
continues the bill, in order to make it impossible
for an officer from some other branch of the
army to assume charge of the corps merely
through political influence. 1t will be remembered
that Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood and Representative
Hay were always at daggers drawn, and those
who are familiar with this feud see an echo of
it in this provision of the Hay bill.
That service in the aviation corps will entail
much greater danger than ordinary military train
ing calls for is recognized in the section OF the
Hay bill which provides that Officers of the avia
ton corps shall while duty that requires them
to participate in aerial fights receive an increase
of so per cent in the pay of their respective
grades in the corps" The so per cent increase
in pay is also extended to the enlisted men, not
to exceed 260 in number, who will participate In
the work of the corps.
The establishment of an army aviation school
is provided for. The bill says: This aviation
school shall be located and maintained at a mill
tary post owned by the United States and not
within the District of Columbia" The object OF
excepting the DISTRICT or Columbia is said to be
tWofold: First to remove the school as far az
possible from the influence of the bureaucracy
alleged to govern the war department and sec.
ondly, to prevent the overcrowding of the govern.
ment ground in the District
1t is the hope of the men who have the interests
OF the American aviation corps at heart that be-
fore long the triumphs of the newIyborn branch
of the army will be such that congress will not
be able to withstand the pleas for appropriations
sufficient to place the aviation corps on an ap-
proximate level with the corresponding branches
of other great armies.

according to the latest available statistics, ranks
eighth among the nations of the world with
spect to her air force
BY reason of bill recently passed by the sen
ate all this is to be changed An aviation corps,
distinct from the signal corps, in which aviators
have heretofore been placed will be formed; so
officers are to be selected from the cream of the
army and 260 privates to be drilled in tie
sentals of pilots. At the same time appropria-
tons to be made for the construction of
number of military airships, including biplanes
and drigibes and the less antiquated
models in use by the army will be relegated
to the scrap heap used only for demonstration
purposes.
The bill providing for the establishment of this
aviation corps-the eagles of the army'-was
introduced into the house of representatives
May 16, 1913. by Representative Hay of Virginia,
chairman of the house committee on military af-
fairs, and WAS passed last December. The bill,
backed by appropriation of S250,000, authorized
last May gives the army signal corps, command
ed by Brig. Gen. George P. Scriven, opportu-
nifty to go ahead with the work which has been
planned.
At the present time the army aviation corps,
under the direction of Col Samuel Reber, though
a compact and essentially efficient body, is very
small when compared with similar organizations
maintained by the other world powers Secretary
of the Navy Daniels recently recognized this cry
ing need for a larger force of aeroplanes when
he said
The question Of aviation is one of the most
important in connection with the military service
of the United States today.
Great Britain, Germany and France are the
only world powers which outrank the United
States in naval strength.
THE value of aeroplanes to the army is prac-
tically incalculable. Their scouting field is ire
mendous and the information which their pilots
bring back may be instrumental in saving hun
dreds Of thousands of lives.
But there are other Invaluable uses for aero
planes in the navy A torpedo costs $4,000 and
torpedoes are frequently lost in practice through
detection in direction. which makes it impossible
to follow them from the coming tower of ship.
But the aerial scout in flying machine can fol
low torpedo's course unerrngly by watching it
from above and the price of one aeroplane is only
a fraction of that of a torpedo.
Then. again water-comparatively opaque
from point near its surface-becomes trans
parent to an observer in the air. Experts say
that mines can be easily located by aerial scouts
One mine may wreck a s10,0000O0 battleship
An aeroplane. costing but a fraction of this sum,
would mean the ships safety.
In my opinion, the newly-developed art of avia-
ton will not only tend TO limit the duration and
scope of hostile operations, but will also aid in
the control of the seas, one of the elements con-
tributing materially to the power and prosperity
of nation.
