The Paper Strateglsts.

While the war lasts mathematical
warriors will balance corps against
corps and ship against ship In the
newspaper columns, but In a real war
all the paper strategy counts for moth
ing. That poor little Prussia, in 1856,
could not possibly make head against
Austria, France, Russia, Sweden and
SaXony was as demonstrable on paper
as that two and two make four But
the Seven Years war was decided by
factor quite outside the range of
mathematics-namely, by Frederick,
with vial OF corrosive sublmate in
his pocket, and in his heart a black
determination to fight while he had
n regiment left, and then commit sui
eide. Revolutionary France had no
show on paper, but in fact overran all
Europe. In recent times our brush
with Spain is the only war that has
shown the least respect for the pro-
grams laid down for it in advance. If
the Spanish army in Cuba had been
capably led and really determined to
fight the ending would have been the
same, but the story would have been
different II war could be determined
on paper there would be no war, for
nation fights only when 1t has some
hope Of winning-Saturday Evening

Chimes at Niuht.

There is one nocturnal noise which
most OF US. when we hear 1t, contrive
to tolerate. That man would have no
music in his soul who should grumble
at the ringing Of the midnight chimes.
Do you remember the experience OF
Henry Ryecroft?" 81 once passed a
night in a little market town where
l had arrived tired and went to bed
early. / slept forthwith. but was pres
emily awakened by know not what;
In the darkness there sounded O sort
of music, and, as my brain cleared.
I was aware Of the soft Ginning Of
church bells. Why, what hour could
It be? struck light and looked at
my watch. Midnight. Then a glow
came over me. We have heard the
chimes at midnight, Master Shallow!'

Mysteries Of krypton.

t Is usually supposed that at great
heights the pressure OF the air is al.
most negligible. but the application of
an ingenious method indicated by
Ramsay gives interesting results. He
asserts that the green line character.
istic OF the spectrum of krypton re-
mains visible under q pressure of
0.OOOO35 millimeters OF mercury.
Now this green line Is found in
tho spectrum OF the aurora borealls
and 1t seems to be well established
that this exists frequently at attitudes
between 100 and 200 miles, and even
sometimes up to nearly 500 miles.
But krypton is one OF the heaviest
gases In our atmosphere. II would
seem, therefore, that the density of
the air at these attitudes is by no
means negligible, as, whatever the
cause may be OF the presence OF kryp-
ton there. It could not remain there
unless the air possessed an appre-
ciable density.

Germany's Invisible Aeroplane.
antee we don't do.

An invisible aeroplane that may play
no inconsiderable part In the Euro
pean war was invented by a German
engineer and demonstrated shortly be-
fore the great conflict opened. In
stead of having cloth fabric or other
visible material used for covering
the planes this aeroplane is construct
ed Of sort Of transparent celluloid
that is also fireproof, These celluloid
wings let the light through, leaving
only the light framework of the ma
chine apparent. and when at height
of 5000 feet It is practically impossi-
BILE to detect the aeroplane at all. The
machine is fitted with silent motor.
which is also valuable In enabling an
airman scouting over an enemy's po-
sition to escape detection. A further
advantage is that the aviators view
is not cut off by the planes.-Ameri-

The steamer, however. had reached
