MT. VESUVIUS IN ERUPTION.

Mount Vesuvious is again in erup-
tion, and the inhabitants in the vi.
cinity have become greatly alarmed
Special prayers were made last Sun
day, as a repetition of the disaster OF
1906 is feared, at which time the last
serious outbreak occurred.
The activity of the volcano first
manifested itself by deep detonations
and rumblings. This was followed
by gigantic columns of smoke, and
soon thereafter an abundant erup-
ton of lava began.
The eruption in 1906 destroyed
several villages, and about 500 peo-
pie were killed and many thousands
rendered homeless,

DEATH HOOK OF THE AIR.

1t has been noted that as soon as
an invention of any kind which is a
menace appears, IA counter invention
appears. If some more impregnable
device for fortress is discovered, at
once a heavier means of assault is
found. Greater battleships are con-
fronted by heavier guns, and in this
war the heavy guns Of Germany have
wrecked permanent Notifications,
while there is rumor Of still heavier
guns that will render dreadnaughts
of no account.
So the horrors of the Zeppelin dir
igibles seem now to have encounter"
ed an invention that will put them
out of action and end their apparent
ly irresistible bombdropping. 1t is
an American invention, that of Jos.
A. Steinmetz, president Of the Aero
Club of Philadelphia. 1t Is a Destroy
er of air craft, said to be farther
reaching than any bomb-dropping
device or aerial gun invented. 1t
bears the same relation that that the
torpedo destroyer does to a navy.
An aeroplane cannot carry the
amount of explosive that dirigible
can, but it is faster, and the Stein
metz device is to destroy dirigibles
as well as slower aeroplanes, for it is
to be mounted on the swiftest of
planes. 1t is a bomb with contact
devices, hooks springing out on all
sides.
1t is let down by a slender wire
from the aeroplane, which swiftly
mounts above the slower dirigib,e.
When the latter comes in contact
with the wire this draws up until the
hooks of the bombs, like the tentacles
of spider, become attached and the
explosion follows. The apparatus is
simple and is characterized as one of
the most terrible of death dealing
devices. Technical World.

10 DAYS LIFE OF HORSE IN WAR

10 DAYS LIFE OF HORSE IN WAR
That the average life of a horse on
the firing line in France is about 10
days was the astonishing declaration
of a British Army officer identified
with the remount department who
visited the Fiss, Doerr & Carroll
Horse Company's big mart in East
Twenty fourth street, New York, a
few days ago. Horsemen were pre-
pared to hear of unexampled wastage
after reading about the havoc wrought
by modern artillery and machine
guns, but this report indicates such
slaughter as had not been dreamed
of here.
In the Civil War in this country
the wastagc of horses was at the rate
of about 800 a day in the Union
Army, and the service of a cavalry
horse under an active commander
then averaged about four months.
During the Shenandoah Valley cam
paign Sheridan required $50 fresh
horses day, and in eight months
the cavalry of the Army of the Poto-
mac was remounted twice, nearly
40, 600 horses having been required
If the British officers estimate of
the wastage is not wide Of the mark,
it is forcgone conclusion that before
the carnage ends there will be such a
shortage of horses as Europe has
never seen. As most of the animals
which equipped the vast armies now
in the field We're commandeered from
farmers and others who had been
using them in agriculture and indus
try, they will have to be replaced for
this work when peace is restored. and
this demand, added to that of the
war, it is believed, seriously affect
the price of horses the world over
during the next few years s.-Ncw

To Put Flesh
 And Increase Weight
A Physician's Advice.

Most thin people eat from four to six pounds of good solid fat-making food every day and still do not increase in weight one ounce, while on the other hand many of the plump, chunky folks eat very ligl.Iy and keep gaining all the time. It's all bosh to say that this IS the nature of the individual. It isn't Natures way at all
 Thin folks stay thin because their They absorb just enough or the food they eat to maintain life and a sem blance of health and strength. Stuthng won't help them. A dozen meals a day won't make them gain a single stay there pound. All the fat-producing elements Of their food just stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. What such people need is something that will prepare these fat ty food elements So that their blood can absorb them and deposit them ali about the body-somethfng too, that will multiply their red blood eorpuscies and increase their blood's carrying power.
 For such condition I always recom- mend eating Sargol tablet with every meal. ASargol is not, as some believe a patented drug but is a scientific com .bination of six of the most effective and powerful flesh building elements known to chemistry It is absolutely harmless yet wonderfully effective and q single tablet eaten with each meal often has the effect of increasing the weight of a thin man or woman from sold by Lee x Osgood Go. and other druggists everywhere on a positive guarantee of weight increase or money back

STILES GOING DOWN
 INTO RIVER BED Sixty Already Driven For the New Terminal at New London.

The contractor is losing no time in the construction of the steamship terminal at East New London. AL ready about 50 permanent spiles have been driven. The first excavation work will probably be commenced this week. This will include the dressing of a trench 1000 feet in length in the river bed which will allow the mud next to the foundation spiles to form a nat nral slope, which will be retained by riprap. For 50 feet on either side of the filled area of the pier creosoted spiles will be driven the full length of the terminal.
 Since the Scott company began work it has been found that several big boulders were in the way. According ly one of the company's divers was put at work blasting holes under the heavy stones so that chains might be attached to them. In one case boul- der weighing about 20 tons was dis covered. This was deposited above the New Haven road bridge within the bulkhead line.
 In preparation. for land work all the occupants of the houses which were purchased by the state for the ter minal site have been ordered to vacate at once. The buildings will either be removed or torn down.
