ing themselves to any great extent. Even
one speedy aeroplane, operated by care
full men, could do the job with ease and
dispatch. In the same manner the
cumbersome dirigible would be helpless
in the air before the vicious fish hook
and line" OF smaller craft.
Almost any standard aeroplane has a
travelling range great enough to permit
II to venture out within a radius of 100
to 200 miles to attack the enemys air
craft. In neither case mentioned here
the crew of the attacking aeroplane
would risk more than, possibly not as
much as an ordinary scout. Yet how
tremendous the possibilities of putting
the enemy's air fleet out of commission!
Aeroplanes equipped with such de-
vices Of this type could play havoc with
sea and land forces. particularly at night;
and could attack and destroy an enemy's
airships and hangers, docks, magazines,
ships and terrorize very generally.
There would be no means of defense
against such airships except fast aero
planes armed with guns or similar
devices.
One striking feature about Steinmetz's
device is its simplicity and low cost. The
mechanical contrivance which eXplodes
the bomb whenever one of the barbs
catches is simple and effective; and the
aviator is protected from possible diff
culties through the dangling wire by
simple device which cuts the wire when
the tension reaches a given figure.

Ancient PUEBLO Indians RAISED TURKEYS

N 4 REPORT on the Museum-Gates

been made at different times, shown by
the different levels from which the
digging had been begun. In one corner
near a rock mass some small bows and
arrows, and other offerings were I'M

ancient shrine.
From the rubbish and debris the re-
mains of several mammals and birds
were identified; among them, deer,
pronghorn, bison. woodchuck, mice. rats
muskrats, rabbits. lynx, fox, skunk, bear
hawk. an adult turkey, chicks and
eggs, and many feathers of other birds
all of which occupied the cave at one
time or another, or were killed and
stored there by the early Indians. From
early historical reports, 1t has been I'M

turkeys were kept in captivity, probably
for their feathers, which were used in the

MANY of the Japanese whalemen are

After a whale has been cornered,

exhaustion, the nimble expert of the
whaling crew must prove his mettle.
The skilled Jap, after jumping upon

gashes in the head, one on either side.
through which a rope must be run and
tied, cannot always perform his work in
one trial. Often the mammal makes a
deep dive. But the little Jap must hold
fast to his quarry, and dive also, trusting
to the fates that his own air supply in
his lungs will last as long as that of the
whales.
The Jap is safer from being drowned
than from being crushed by the infuri-
ated mammals tail. II the little Jap lets

uuently these whalemen lose their lives
from drowning. but the members of
their crew look upon this misfortune
with something of a fatalistic regard.
But the main business in hand is the
capture of the whale. AS the fight pro-
crosses and the maddened, frightened
mammal grows weaker, and, finally, is
diving, the boat crews row closer to the
body and pray for the ease of his depart

WHERE It PAYS to Be a STRANGER

Field. Whenever a stranger comes to the

Held, and the wife of the king prepares
the food for him with her own hand He
remains week. or a month. or any rea-
sonable length of time, and his departure
is never fastened. Sometimes he stays
long enough to become a member of the
tribe.
An amusing feature OF this custom is
the fact that INDECENT members of the
tribe occasionally leave the village and
go to other villages and become strang-
ers, so that very often when a familiar
face has been missed from a certain viii
lage and anyone asks where So-and-So
went or what became of him, the inquirer
has been gravely informed that So-and-
So was poor and became a stranger
Some lazy men go around from village
to village, and when they return to their
original kraal they spin the yarn that
they have been working in the mines!
Then again one often can run across So
and-So in a distant village living on the
fat of the land as a stranger and being
treated to royal hospitality.

pottery of a rude form while from sew

a very fine finish and ornamentatiOn were
collected. The designs on the bowls
commonly consist of four elements based
on the world quarters, the bottom usual

small collections of pottery were found in
caves and springs where they had been
deposited as offerings.
In the religion Of these early inhabit-
ants the bird had an especial significance
and is found in nearly all their cere-
monies appearing as a solid image in
pottery and carving, depicted on surfaces,
as fetish, but more frequently its
plumage is used in one way or another.
Interesting finds at Bear Creek cave
were a number of ceremonial cigarettes:
a symbolic form of incense offering made
of hollow reeds stuffed with aromatic
herbs which burned with a pleasing
odor.
In a great sacred cave on Blue River
were found bows, arrows, painted rods,
baskets. miniature pottery. cigarettes,
cotton cloth. beads, painted tablets. etc.
deposited in pit shrines on the floor Of
the cavern. These were objects offered
to the supernatural beings and show the
extremely complicated character of the
ancient native worship. Much of the
territory covered by the report has never
been scientifically explored before. and

recognized by physicians as of con-
siderable value in the treatment Of vari-

Onions, for example, contain sulphur
oil, and are recommended for insomnia
and as an aid to gastric digestion. They
should have a prominent place in the
diet Of sufferers from rheumatism, for
they help to allay the pains.
Turnips and parsnips both have pecul-
TAR oily principles which are of value

claimed that they are good for coughs
and hoarseness.
Carrots are useful for correcting ce-
rangements of the liver. They are also
excellent as a dressing for painful
wounds and swellings.
The tomato exercises medicinal effects
which are not completely explained by
the presence of alkaline salts. There is

and a free stimulation of the liver.

II has been computed that about
S6,OO0,0oo babies are born into the
world each year. The rate of pro-
duction is therefore about seventy per
minute, or more than one for every
beat Of the clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but 1t is not
everyone who stops to calculate what
this means when 1t comes to a years
supply. 1t will, therefore, probably
startle a good many persons to hnd'
on the authority OF q well-known sta
tistician, that, could the infants OF
year be ranged in a line in cradles, the
cradles would extend around the globe.

tire removal of rail from either side Of
the track.
1t is also said that it will make the
present type of light weight locomotive
equal to those of a heavier and more
costly type, as it adds from 80 to 80 per
cent increase of tractive power with the
same coal consumption. 1t gives more
braking power and will haul more cars
with less coal.
As Is shown in the illustration the
flanges of the third wheel are staggered
so as to keep the train from leaving the
track in case of a broken or removed
rail on either side. The third rail may
be laid over the entire length of the rail-
road system or it may be at curves,
grades, bridges, culverts and the entire
train of cars or any number Of them may
be supplied with this third wheel.

IN South Africa, among the natives
there is a custom which has never
been mentioned by any traveller in his
tales In the Transkei, Basutoland and
Bechuanaland, nearly every fair-siZed
village has field set aside for strangers.
In a village where the king resides, usu-
ally his chief wife is told off to cultivate
this field and store away all the product
in the upper part of her hut, and il in
any adjacent village some chief woman
is saddled with the work, no man OF the
tribe is permitted to touch any food thus
stored.
The kings wife, or whoever cultivates
the land, takes her share of the product
and makes her living out Of 1t, but all
over and above the amount actually con-
sumed must be set aside and preserved
She may not trade with any other wife
Of the king.

FISHING for the enemy's air craft
- with bombs is the newest terror Of
modern warfare, made possible by
the invention of A. Steinmetz, OF
Philadelphia, a nationally known avia-
ton enthusiast.
The military aviator, with the new de-
vice, will go angling for hostile aero
planes and dirigibles, using line and
hook to which is attached a bomb Of high
explosive power.
The object Of the aviator being to de-
stroy his prey, the hook is made so that
the moment one OF the barbs catches in
anything the bomb explodes and at the
same time the fishing line or cable. which
is let out by a reel, is severed, permitting
the airship destroyer to fly away I'M
harmed as the enemy's craft, torn into
a thousand pieces, hurtles to the ground.
AS described in the patent, the Stein
metz device will be useful mainly in Of
fensive operations against aircraft, and
its object is to provide for the destruc-
ton of an airship by another airship,
which itself incurs little risk or injury.
Preferably. the attacking airship will
be an aeroplane, since this type Of air
ship is capable of quickly changing its
direction at high speed and of rising or
falling at the will OF the operator.
BY employing the Steinmetz method
a swift aeroplane could mount high over
another craft and then by speeding ahead
place itself in position for casting its
