A Splendid Edition.

The Forty-sixth Anniversary number OF
the Pueblo Chieftain was issued Sunday,
January 2sth. 1t is one of the best annua!
editions that has reached our desk this
year. From the first to the last page it is
filled with good things about Colorado,
and infects great credit to The Chieftain,
leading as usual in promoting the interests
Of Pueblo and the state.
The Chieftsin is the second Oldest daily
paper in Colorado and was established, in
Pueblo, when that city was only q trading
point OF some two hundred population.
During oil the years OF its life it has de.
voted much space to the upbuiIdins of
Pueblo and has never forgotten the sec.
tions of the state that it serves.
Since June first Of last year the Chief.
tain has been under the IN ana cement of
Messrs. G. T. Haubrich and +. r. Mar
vim, two of Colorado's yosns men who
are prosressive and energetic. Since they
took hold of the Chieftain it has made
more progress than ever in its history and
the liberal advertising patronage in this
number shows the high regard in
which the paper is held by the business
interests OF Pueblo and Colorado.

Continued from first page.

That does not mean that craft of The Yep
pelin type could make the voyage across the
Atlantic and attack US, but it is goCt indica-
ton OF what may be achieved in the future. Up
to date it has not been found practicable to
transport Zeppelins on board ship, but such a
plan is far from impo 5sible.
Whatever the danger from dirigibles may be-
it is conceded that hope of repelling them lies
in the aeroplane. No one tamil ar with the con-
struction Of various types OF aircraft believes
in the efficacy Of ramming a dirigible with an
aeroplane. 1t means certain death for the avia-
tor and is by means sure to disable the
d:rgble
There are better methods. In the first place,
hydrogen gas furnishes the ascensional power
of dirigibles. II is much more buoyant than
other gases. Also it has far higher explosive
power The latter fact furnishes the best sug
gestion for proceeding against dirigibles.
Three methods have been widely considered
The first is by the use of armed aeroplanes
While the guns OF the dirigible would cause
certain amount of loss to the aviators a con-
certed attack by number OF machines would
be almost certain to succeed. Their high speed
and capacity for rapid evolutions is in their
favor.
Another plan is the dropping of explosive
bombs from above. Fire spells destruction to
any hydrogen-inhated balloon. II is understood
that the disaster that befell one of the big Yep
pelins in Germany last year was due to ignition
OF the hydrogen when heavy gun was fred
from the deck of the craft
The third scheme Is that worked out by To-
A 49, + MI
OF mining the air by means of bombs sent up
attached to small balloons. This system is said
to have been tried against aircraft in France
since the war began, but no detailed reports of
Its value have been received here.
If Congress is hesitating for economical rea-
sons. some consideration should be given H.

Secretary Daniels is not in favor of making
large appropriation at this time, although ad-
uniting that the aviation branch should be en-
larged. He states that it is impossible to OBJ
tain foreign machines and motors for expert
mental purposes.
This attitude on the part of the Secretary
made great hit with the men who have been
trying to promote aeronautical interests in the
United St1tes. Aviation had it's birth here, and
to-day hundreds of Amercan-made machines
are in use by the fighting armies More are
now under construction for shipment abroad.
Within the last two months more than 200
aeronautical motors, built by single manu-
facturer here. have been sold to Great Britain.

need is fair chance. A disposition on he part

THE CAR SENDS A DUTCHMAN TO
THE COURT OF CHINA.
AS far back as 1892, certainly. the Dutchman,
Evert Tsbrants 1des, who was sent by the Car
on 6O00-mile overland mission to the court Of
China. was assured by a member OF his party
that he had once found a hairy monster ele-
plants head in a thawing mass of frozen earth;
its flesh was rotten but its neck bone was stD
tinted with blood and frozen foot, found in
the vicinity, was taken on to Turakansk, which
points to the find having been in the River
Yenesei region. However, no one paid much
attention to Ides's statement. Public opinion
for century said that either Ides or his in
formant was a liar-probably both. And not
much significance was attached, in 1887, to the
report that nomad natives had told the Rus
sian travellers Sarytochev and Merk that
about one hundred versts below the village of
Alaseysk, on the Alasey. a gigantic beast COW
cred with hide and hair had been washed out of
the sandy shore in an upright posture.
1t was in 1899 that Schumarov, wandering
fungus native, happened on few inches of
hairy monster protruding from the side of
crumbling bluff. He had never seen -nything
like that before and he wasn't anxious to see
anything like il again. He invoked the gods
to spare him from such uncanny visions, and

gained his nerve. or his curiosity got the better

A BLACK TONGUE AS LONG AS A
MONTH OLD REINDEER.

In 1889 a complete carcass was uncovered
of the mouth of the River Yenesei, seventy
versts from the Arctic Ocean. The mon
ster's trunk would seem to have been in
good condition then, fer the natives said long
black tongue, as long as a month old reindeer
calf, hung from its mouth but the trunk had
been devoured by wild beasts, when, in 1912,
the Russian hunter Trohmova had the remains
removed.
The explorer Mddcndorf found good
specimen in iS43 on the shore of the Taimyr
River, near latitude IS. This mammoth was
found on bed of marine clay, containing
shells of high northern crustacea that still live
in the Arctic Ocean, and covered with strata
of sand, alternating with beds of decayed re.
mains of plants, which completely correspond
with the turf beds still being formed in the
lake: of the toondra. Professor Schmidt found
a mammoth in the flesh on the Gyda toondra,
in latitude 70l3. west Of the mouth of the
Yenesei. Soon after the Sch riit find others
were examined by Baron Won Maydell at three
different spots between the rivers Kolyma and
Indigirka, about eighty miles from the Arctic
Ocean.
And since that day some two dozen speci-
mems have been fund ard examined by men
who knew what the mammoth WIS, though
they form but slight proportion of the total
discoveries
