TTIEN...... and......N NOW

To-day airships constitute one of the most important fac tors in modern warfare. All the great world powers have equipped their armies with fleets of aeroplanes and diri- gibIe balloons, and scientists are bending every energy to- ward inventing new explosives and perfecting means of hurl- ing them from the clouds with greater accuracy. Some au- thorities even predict that the next great war will be fought in the clouds by squadrons of airships. To-day American av- .iators are scouting over the Mexican lines around Vera Cruz, and are demonstrating
 their marvellous utility. Equip ped with the latest devices the uItra-modern army scout can fly over the enemy's country, sketch or photograph the topog
 raphy of the land below the forts, cities and troop positions. By wireless telegraph he can send back the information to his headquarters miles away. With the modern rapid fire gun he can defend himself with stream of bullets. Or he can drop high explosive bombs from his craft, scattering death wherever it strikes-a year ago it was reported a Mexican rebel aeronaut dropped a bomb that killed 52 soldiers instantly. If it is night, the aeronaut can drop a star bomb that explodes and sheds a lasting and radiant light on the spot he is lowering over. To escape from the nsw aerial guns designed to fight airships, the modern aerona1t can drop the new Germaa bomb that spreads a dense
 heavy pail of smoke between
 earth and airship end thus per init the aviator to escape Or he can drop another kind which gives off a poisonous gas capa-
 ble of killing every living thing 1 within 100 yards.

 When the little raven flew Unto the nest with it's mouth wide open they didn't know what to make of itk but thought 1t must be another brother and 50 they were very nice and shared their breakfast with the new comer. when their parents came home and saw another bird in the nest with the same black glossy feathers they were as much astontshed as the others.
 Mother Crow began to count and found that there were five instead of four Then to make sure father crow. also counted five. How it happened they couldn't tell. Just then the lit tie raven opened it's mouth and mo- thez' crow popped into it nice bit of young corn she had brought home and the little raven looked so happy that mother crow said: ''I guess we Tbetter let 1t stay, it won't be much more to feed Father Crow nodded his head and so the poor little raven found a nice home.

70 MEN GUARD FATHERS
Atlantic City Also Has 35 Unsuitable
 Boats and Five Hospitals

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Seventy thoroughly trained men, with 35 unsuitable lfeboats, six of them new. and buoys and life lines for each station, will comprise the force and the equip ment with which Atlantic City will guard tens of thousands of bathers along a four-mile stretch of bathing ground this summer.
 That this is not too great force was many times evidenced last season. when therc were frequently 50,000 people, many of them foolhardy, thoughtless persons utterly unaware of the need of caution, even on a beach as comparatively safe as that here.
 It was particuarly exemplified upon the days when, with the undertow running exceptionally strong and a much smaller humber of bathers in the breakers, the hard worked guardsmen were kept busy dragging back to safety ventursome bath CTS who thoughlessly permitted them- selves to be caught in the juggling cur rent.
 Although the first battalion of the beach force will not be assigned to duty until after the advent of June, boats and equipment are ready and the personnel or the fdrce is being considered. Men who hAvH served heretofore with good records t3ill have first consideration. Some or them have worn the red-coated uni- form forla dosen years or longer. Others arc youf fGstefs, bred from boyhood as swtmmerf and b0atmen.

BLACK RUST GIVES STRENGTH ID WHEAT Prices Firm 1-801-4 to 7-8 AbOve-COrn and Oats
 Are Also Higher

Chicago. June 3.-Black rust increasing northward in Oklahoma and into Kansas added to wheat strength caused today by adverse crop reports from Europe. Prices closed firm. is@14c to 7sc above last night. Corn finished 14Tssc to ssc up, oats unchanged to Adskc higher and pro- visions at net advance of Dc to 200.
 Highest prices in the wheat pit came after the receipt of news that rust had been found at Stockton, Kan. Earlier dispatches from Fl Reno. told of black rust which had passed from the spore stages to full development, with ample time vet for serious damage.
 Direct export sales at Minneapolis em- phasized cable reports of undesirable con- ditions for wheat growth in the south- west, Russia, Roumania, Hungary, south ern Italy, northern France and Germany. As result the market, with one brief ex- ception, averaged well above last nights level.
 Good eastern demand for cash grades had bullish effect on corn futures. Oats reflected the strength of other grains. In provisions shorts rushed to cover, owing to hog receipts being smaller than ex- pected.
 Future quotations were as follows:

WHOLESALE TRADE
 CONTINUES GOOD Blackberry Season Opened With Shipment From
 Mississippi

Business continued good yesterday throughout the wholesale section. De- mand and supply was very good, quota ever, there were slight advances in quo- tations yesterday on salt meat provisions.
 The produce men report an especially good demand in most lines, and supplies as a rule are plentiful. The strawberry season is fast drawing to close and receipts are becoming smaller each day. The blackberry season, however, will soon be in full swing. A shipment of black berries was received yesterday from the southern part of Mississippi, and this, it is reported. marks the opening of the season on the Birmingham market.

SLOW PROGRESS IN
 THE STOCK MARKET Trading Small-Signs of Reviving Life Absent.
 Cessation Professional

New York, June 3.-Slpw progress up ket Trading was in small volume. and the signs of reviving life yesterday failed to show themselves. The signifi- cant feature was cessation of profess sional pressure and outside liquida- tion. The market, while irregular, had a good undertone and after moving back and forth within a narrow range de- veloped signs of real strength toward the close. Fluctuations in the main were measured in fractions. but in con siderable number of cases substantial gains were recorded at the close.
 New Haven and Lehigh made a better showing today Atchison exhibited strength and American Telephone. Con- solidated Gas and Wells-Fargo scored Union Pacific were bought freely for forign account, about 10000 shares be- ing taken.
 Speculative sentiment was cheered by favoring crop forecasts from private sources, as we'll as by the improved showing of the railroad statement in April Optimistic reports recently from the steel trade were supported by the weekly reviews of trade authorities. Pig iron production in May, however, was placed at more than 5000 tons, a day less than in April.
 Most of the speculative bonds were in good demand, but in a few cases heav- mess developed, which gave the market a ragged appearance. Total sales, par value, $2,700,00O. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

FURTHER REALIZING
 !. IN COTTON MARKET
Prices Show Extensions of $1.5O Bale Compared With
 Mondays High Level

New York, June 3.-There was heavy further realizing in the cotton market and prices showed extensions of sl.5o per bale as compared with the high level of last Monday with the close barely steady at a net loss of to 15 points for the day.
 The opening was steady at decline of 5 to points under overnight selling or ders. relatively easy Liverpool cables and reports of improving weather conditions in the south. There was a good deal of cot ton offering but it was well taken around the initial figures, and prices firmed up toward midday on the forecast for show CTS in the southwest and private reports that it was raining at two or three points in Texas.
 There was doubtless covering of shorts. rebuying by sold-out longs and some fresh derpand from parties who had been wait ing for a setback on which to enter the market during the early trading. as great deal of cotton was taken out of the ring before the end of the first hour, but the market became comparatively quiet on the midday advance. and after selling 9 or points net higher prices again eased off.
 Reports of light rains or showers in parts of Georgia may have promoted part of the realizing which sent prices to the lowest level of the day in the late trad ing Official forecast was for showers in Georgia, but for clear weather elsewhere in the eastern bell which is still suffering from lack of moisture and private crop adviees from the south continued general ly bullsh.
 Private cables attributed the decline in Liverpool to liquidation on more fav- orable weather reports, and Liverpool was credited with selling new crop months here against purchases in the English market. There was a relatively good de- mand for old crop deliveries on the early decline, and these positions were com paratively steady during the entire day. Spot houses bought July and August, but local reactionsts claimed that they could see no sign of spinners buying new crops.
