Phosphorescent AeropIanes.

Phosphorescent aeroplanes and air.
ships for night exhibitions, for adver-
Using and for increasing safety in
night flights are now proposed, and
phosphorescent model flying machines
were recently exhibited before an
American aeronautic society
By some new methods the light may
be made of other colors besides the
familiar greenish blue, SO that aero
planes painted with this phosphor-
escent material may make striking
color display without carrying an ap-
preciable amount of additional weight
The luminous glow, of course, will
come only after the paint has been
given a good exposure to light, but
the aeroplanes would absorb enough
sunlight to give a noticeable glow for
some hours at night 1t has also been
found that mercury vapor lamps will
stimulate the glow, so the machines
could be given soaking in light be-

Senator Lorimer and Congressman
Rainey Of Illinois will never forget
their trip down the Illinois and Mis-
sissippi rivers several years ago. when
they sought to blaze the way for 2
deep waterway.
THE senator and / had many novel
experiences on that trip" said Rainey.
We travelled in 26-foot launch, and
our trip resulted In uniting Al organ
izations under dig 'er deep banners.
One night we were floating about
forty miles north of the Arkansas line,
when it dawned upon US that we ought
to put up for the night. 1t was beast
ly dark, but we heard the barking OF
dogs and surmised we had struck a
lumber camp.
Il jumped out and knocked all the
bark off my shins getting over drift

and even more, and all we ask is that
you wake us early so we can be on

payment overcame her and she con-
scented to let us stop.
What time can you have us up?'

CHEATING the CockereI,

Though hardly physical hero, the
vicar had stern sense of duty. That
is why, when some doubt arose as to
the safety Of the church spire, he de-
cided to become a steeple-jack, for
the time being, in order to see for
himself what was the matter with It..
So pleased was he as having accom-
plished this quite easy feat that he
was never tired of talking about it.
His sensations on that memorable oc-
casion were dragged into every SER
mon, Sunday school class, boys club
meeting and stray conversation, until
the entire village was sick to death
of it.
1t was on a certain market day that
he met his Waterloo. To a group of
farmers he was going, once more,
through his experiences.
and" he was saying, when at last
/ reached the very pinnacle and found
myself gazing at the bronze weather
cock-what do you thinkI did,"
Dunno" muttered one old farmer.
But l know what you ought to have
DONE"
and what was at,spray?" queried
the vicar.
you ought to have apologized to
the bird for doing 1t out of the job of

Although most Of the present-day de
scendants of the Huns are to be found
in Bulgaria, the premier family of the
Hungarian nobility-the EsterhaZys-
claim lineal descent from Attila; and
the earliest Hungarian records, tc
some extent, bear out their claim
They show no trace Of their ancestry
In their appearance, for Attila was.
physically as well as morally, one OF
the most hideous characters in history.
while the Esterhazys are a conspicu
ously handsome family. The biograph
er of Prince Paul Esterhazy attributes
the improvement in physique to the
fact that for centuries past, owing tc
their colossal wealth, the Esterhazys
have been able to select the most
beautiful women as their consorts
Although considerably diminished
their estates still comprise II county
seats, go market towns and 440 vii
lagos. When Prince Nicholas Ester
haZy witnessed one of the famous
Holkham sheep shearings in England
he told Lord Leicester that he could
show on his estates as many shep
herds as the earl could sheep.

Soldiers Mentally Affected.

Discussing the mental anguish de-
picted by the tales of suicide, mad
ness and desertion among soldiers, ito
say nothing of mental frenzy express
ing itself in wanton murder" the Jour-
nal of the Amer can Medical associa-
ton says that as yet there have been
no scientific studies of the effect of
war on the minds of officers and enlist
ed men. But short rations, lack Of
sleep, emotionalism, exposure, exer-
ton, inconsistencies and SO on, might
well unbalGnce many minds that in or
binary conditions would pass for sane.
The first results of an inquiry in our
own army by DR., E. King, under the
surgeon generals advice, show that

three miles away setting bone. The
trip back was made by another road,
and thereby they missed Mr.. Depew,
who had procured horse and was
galloping about the country In search
of the boId-faced thief After wasting
hours on the hunt, the young man
put the case in the hands Of the sher-
if and hied himself to town.
The cook had not poured over half
dozen pals of water over the form
of the girl on the grass when there
was a revival. No one had her neck
or any bones broken. Even a girl
cannot tumble from tree and strike
on her head and hope to escape stiff
neck for the next few days, but the
doctor thought that would be the ex-
tent of 1t.
Miss Ida must take the doctor home
in the stolen auto. 1t was while doing
this that they were seen by a party
who knew the doctor, but not the 9TH
er. This party telephoned the sheriff,
and an hour later the doctor found
himself under arrest.
"Why, that auto belongs to a young
lady" he protested.
ooh, it does, chi"
"At least Miss Treadwell came for
me with it.

Miss Ida took the auto back to the!
house and left it, but no one saw her.
Two hours later the sheriff arrived,
and, being full of official zeal, he said:
It's state prison offense, but If
you plead guilty you may get off with
light sentence. Is this the first
auto you ever, stole?"
Miss Ida's mother had not eau
toned her against getting mad, and
recalling that commission the girl told
the officer what she thought of him
and ordered him from the house.
Having no warrant for her arrest he
went, but he turned to her to say:
you cannot escape the grip of JUS
tice!"
And to the stiff-necked Miss Mollie:
And you are an accessory before
the fact and equally guilty. If you
hadn't climbed that apple tree the
auto wouldn't have been stolen.
Think not to escape me by flight"

then Miss Ida said, But l don't want

The young man laughed. mo one

my own stupidity and for the over

Porcelain Houses Next?

w. Hales Turner advocates the use
Of porcelain in building our homes. He
says porcelain lacks the absorbing
qualities of brick, mortar, concrete,
woodwork and paper and declares that
an inch thick wall of porcelain glazed
on both sides will keep in warmth or
keep out the heat Of the sun better
than an 18-inch brick wall can do. The
framework of such house should con-
sist of rust-proof metal in which are
fitted panels of porcelain six feet long
by three feet wide and half an inch
thick, Weighing five pounds to the su-
perficial foot. These may be decorated
or glazed and fitted with steam tight
joints, the whole house of moderate
size being put up within a few hours

NO LIFE NEED BE EMPTY
New Joys and New Life Can Always
Be Found to Take the Place
of Those Lost.

Did you ever walk down street
where many pretty homes and we'll
Kept gardens could be seen and come
suddenly face to face with an empty
house, writes Margaret Wilkinson.
Did you not find the contrast some
thing painful?
You had been passing many houses
that showed unmistakable signs Of
life. There were curtains in the win.
low, perhaps baby carriage or the
children's toys on the veranda, the
lawns were well kept, the flower beds
were full of blossoms. Perhaps you
could even see a dear, white-haired
old lady in a parlor or sitting room as
you passed-or in another home you
caught a glimpse of small boy with
4 large doughnut in his land-or a
mother talking to her baby as she
lifted it from the floor,
And then you came to the empty
house. The windows were bare and
dirty and there was no vista beyond
hem but blank walls. The walls we're
naughty little boys had thrown. The
weeds were rank and thick in the
avn and in the flower beds. The house
was no longer a home of human life.
The life that was in it had gone out
and forgotten it.
Some lives are like empty houses.
The humanity, the inspiration and the
soul have gone out of them. Perhaps
there has been great disappointment
md the new tenant has not been found
to take the place of the old-the new
10y instead Of the one that could not
be had, the new work that would have
meant success instead of the old work
that did mean failure. And so the
eyes that the soul should shine
through are lusterless and vacant.
The beauty that should abide within
and be seen from without is not here.
The stains of sorrow and cynicism are
not wiped away. The weeds of dis
enlargement and doubt and hesitation
I'D fear have choked the kindly
;rowths that make home garden for
the personality to dwell in.
But there is no empty house that
cannot be made into a home, if some
one will go and take into it the hui
