An armored automobile that can
travel equally we'll on a dirt road or on
: railroad, over mountains and through
valleys, across hills and through mud,
is now in use in the Constitutionalist
army and according to reports has
proved to be most efficient for the work
assigned to 1t. The car carries rapid
fire guns and is operated by two Amer
leans.
A similar automobile is the Krupp
armored cruiser" for use against
aeroplanes and all kinds of air craft
This protected car, first used in the
Balkans campaign, has become q power
full weapon in the hands of the military
strategist. Like the machine now used
in Mexico 1t is fitted with standard
gauge wheels designed to run with
equal facility either on wagon road,
railroad or across country.
The armored cruiser" is outftted
with machine guns for ordinary fighting,
both at close and long range, and be-
sides it has guns so placed on their
carriages that they can be elevated to.
fire at the angles necessary to bring
down flying craft. The machine is ar
mored so that operators are protected
from the bullets and bombs Of hostile
aviators. Indeed, military and aero
plane experts have developed this air
craft destroyer to such a point that II
is regarded as extremely problematic
that the present planes could Withstand

Probably the deadliest field gun yet
invented is one recently adopted for use
IN the United States army. The fact
that the arm weighs only thirty-five
pounds makes il all the more terrible,
for with little effort II can be carried to
a point of vantage from which it can

DOUBLE
TeIephonesNow

A NEW device that doubles the ca
~ pacity of the telephone and tele-
graph cables has just been in
vented by the British postofice engi-
neers. 1t is now working successfully
between England and ireland and France,
and should mean much cheaper rates,
for one cable can be made to do the work
of two.
The invention means that four peo-
pie IN London can speak from separate
telephones to four people in Paris at the
same time over only two lines. This is
possible by means of what are known as
:superposed circuits" One submarine
telephone cable contains four wires,
making two circuits or lines.
1t had already been possible to pro-
duce third circuit from these two, but
not satisfactorily. Now not only is a
third circuit produced from the two, but
also a fourth.
While the telephone department was
making these experiments, the telegraph
department was, by a strange coinci-
dence, doing the same, neither depart
ment knowing of the others work. The
telegraph engineers made exactly the
same discovery, and the telegraph service
will be doubled in the same manner.

The houses will be of glass;" he says,
with all wood eliminated. The furni-

While one soldier can carry the new
gun with ease, it takes two men to
operate it. One feeds the cartridges
into the breech in strips Of twenty-five
while the other aims and directs the
trigger mechanism. The gun may be
fired separately or will operate mechan-
ically, splitting out 500 steel pellets
every sixty seconds. In long range
work a third soldier notes the effect OF
the firing and directs the marksman.

the old one. Completely pigmented hairs
never turn gray; they fall out. 1t is
nevertheless observed that the process OF
pigment formation may cease during the
development of hair. In that event the
tip will remain pigmented though the
base appears white.
How are we to harmonic these state
ments, asks the Journal of the American
Medical Association, with the many pub
lished records of hair having turned
white suddenly as the presumable conse-
quence of fright or other profound emo
ton? A careful study OF the reputed in
stances has invariably shown that they
were mythical. II is popularity related
that Marie Antoinette grew gray during
the night after she was condemned to be
executed. 1t is true that at her death
her hair was gray, but her biographers
all record that her hair had been gray
long before the time of her death. II is
also quite possible that the change in her
hair while in prison was due to the fact
that she did not have access to hair dyes
serve to illustrate the value of he9rsay
evidence and popular tradition.
The conspicuous changes which the
color of the fur Of certain species of ami
mails undergoes at different seasons of
the year, becoming white in the winter
months, affords an opportunity of investi-
eating this pronounced transformation,
seemingly so closely related to what is
seen in advancing age in man. The
studies of Schwalbe have demonstrated
that here too there is no alteration Of the
color of the summer fur. The dark hairs
fall out as the season advances and
white hairs grow in their place. No sud-
den changes are found when accurate OBJ
servations are instituted.

TRAP For
ROBBERS

A COPENHAGEN bang clerk has in
~ vented an ingenious contrivance for
capturing bank robbers. An elec-
trio contact is placed behind the bank
counter and if the clerks tread on it the
main door from the street to the entrance
hall is closed and locked. II the clerks
again tread upon the contact the door be-
tween the entrance hall and the office is
locked. Thus, IL robbers should arrive
and summon the clerks to hold up their
hands the clerks obey, tread upon the
contact and the main door is locked.
The robbers are allowed to take the
money, but when they desire to leave
they ind that the main door is shut and
locked, and when they try to return they
nnd the second door also locked, and they
are trapped until the police arrive.

The Nations Memorial Day draws
near-the day Of all the year most
hallowed- day Of sad sweet
memories.
The reverent observance OF this
day by citizens and patriotic organ
nations has won for us the admira-
ton Of the world. The beautiful
custom was given 10 us by the
Grand Army Of the Republic, when
in 1868 Gen. John A. Logan, then
Commander n-Chief ~ the Grand
Army in his General Order, desig-
mated The "30th day OF May, 1868, for
the purpose Of strewing flowers on
the graves Of comrades who had died
IN defense Of their country"
In the same General Order he ex-
pressed the hope that this custom
might he kept up from year TO year
while a survivor Of the war remains
To honor the memory Of his depart
ed comrades"
The rapid growth and wide
spreading influence Of this General
Order is wonderful. Each succeed
ing year has the Grand Army
through its Commanders issued sim
liar orders. I'll today not village
or hamlet but is looking forward
with tender thoughts to some kind
of special observance Of Memorial
Day-when answering as to duty's
call with hearts made tender and
thoughts more pure, choice flowers
they'll bring. and Tor one day at
least work will he laid aside and all
discord Will vanish Let the child
rem take part in the services. Let
them be taught the sacredness Of the
day. II Is "A great opportunity to
teach them lessons in loyalty, pa
trlotism and reverence for their
countrys flag. Let us teach them
to reyerentiy, tenderly scatter flow
ers over the low green tents whose
doors never outward swing"
Memorial Day is not day for
sports. but a day set apart for tend
or thoughts loving memories, and
kindly deeds.

The Senator's Funeral

There was no public display at
the funeral of the late Senator Will

said TO have been one of the most
impressive ever witnessed at Frank
fort, where the burial took place
Tuesday afternoon. Besides the Of
fetal representatives Of the govern

of the Senator, the streets were
lined with thousands of mourners,
of all classes and colors of people.
The ceremony was strictly ritual
and no eulogies or speeches were
made. But the service was none
the less impressive. The feeling OF
the crowd was very well expressed
by an old negress who sobbed
