EXPERT TELLS HOW
TO MINE" AIR
Great Number of Small, Captive
Gas Bags Would Be Pro-
vided with Explosives

According to a member of the gene
raj staff of the United States Army, an
expert who has given the subject of
entirely feasible to mine" air against
dirigible balloons and aeroplanes
which seek to drop bombs in fortifi-
cations or besieged cities. Other men,
bers of the general staff concur in
his views.
The defense proposed, which would
be similar in way to the mining of
harbor waters, would consist of send
ing aloft each evening large number
of small captive gas balloons, each
provided with sufficient amount of
explosive to destroy any aeroplane or
dirigible with which 1t came in con-
tact, together with number of box
kites, each provided with tail of NAL
leable wire or other material nicely
designed to foul the propellers of any
type of engine propelled craft and in
evitably to bring 1t to the ground.
Great numbers of gas balloons, float
ing at varying attitudes. would be re-
quired, but it is asserted that the cost
of these would be comparatively tri-
fling; that they would suspend no
weight except a few ounces of dyna-
mite and the cable-presumably pi-
ano wire-by which they would be at
tached to the earth, and thus kept un-
der control. The suction of the pro
peller of any propelled aircraft would
be sufficient to draw such balloons to
1t from considerable distance, and
immediately one of them was fouled
Ats explosive charge would be set off,
tnsuring the instant destruction of the
air craft and its crew.

Anenlia Cured

Two cases of anemia are reported
cured by DIR. S. Powell Burdick by the
use of Calcarea and Ferrum Phos for
six months "details given page 144 in
the Drs. Boericke and Dewey authora-
tive book on the Tissue Salts). On
the same page DIR. w. Rowley also re-
ports a cure of ahemia. Symptoms
were: Pale, anemic countenance,
great exhaustion, depression, head
aches, constipation, no appetite, chlor-
attic, emaciated and ambitionless.
We prepare NUTRIENT SALTS
which contain the tissue salts so nee
essary in order to cure anemia and
every other diseased condition. Ma
ture cannot heal without the twelve
mineral NUTRIENT SALTS, and as
modern foods like white -four and SUI
gar are deprived of these necessary
elements everyone feels the bad eff
fects of mineral salts starvation.
NUTRIENT SALTS are beneficial
in all diseases. Send money order or

There has been much vneasiness
in London since Antwerp fell into
German hands. 1t is but 1S0 miles
from Antwerp to London, and Ger
man aerial attack now seems more
within the possibilities than ever be-
fore. Count Zeppelin and his staff
are busy at Wilhelmshaven, 400
miles from London, with their plans
for an aerial raid on England.
British strategists insist that
little injury could result from such
raid. To guard against the posi-
bility of an air attack, captive bal
looms equipped with search lights
and machine guns will hover over
London until the danger is past.

regarded electrification as due to the
movement of something which he call
ed the electric fluid. This he supposed
to be constituent of all bodies, even
when they are not electrified. When
not electrified, any body contains a
definite amount of this fluid" If

We have in the course of the last
fifteen years attained to very definate
ideas as - the nature of negative cleo
tricity. Negative electrifcation has
been shown to be due to the presence
of minute particles called corpuscles
or electrons, all of which are of exact
ly the same kind-that is, each parti-
Gle carries the same quantity of mega
tive electricity, and each has the same
mass. This mass is far smaller than
that associated with ordinary matter,
being, unless the velocity of the cor
puscle is comparable with that of sci
ence, that of an atom of hydrogen
The mass of these corpuscles increas-
es rapidly when their velocity ap-
proaches that of light, and if their
speed were about fifty yards per Sec

lelium, whose atomic weight is four,
has two corpuscles in its atom; oxy-
gen, whose atomic weight is sixteen,

whose atomic weight is one, has prob
ably one corpuscle in its atom. The
process of electrification consists in
taking corpuscles from one body and
living them to another. On this view.
negative electricity Is molecular in
tructure, and all negative charges are
integral multiples of certain unit
whose value is now known with great
.ccuracy. In fact, we may regard
Franklin's electric fluid as a collec-
ion of such corpuscles, only we. must

Nuisance,

How to Prevent It From Being
Nuisance.
1t often happens that in attempting
to uncork a bottle the stopper is
forced into the bottle instead, and
1t thus floats on the liquid. This
would perhaps not be drawback
were it not that each time the bot
tie is to be emptied the cork comes
to the neck and causes an obstruc-
tion. preventing the flow Of the
liquid. This can be prevented very
readily, and all that is needed is to
bend a piece Of stiff wire in a long
U-shape, properly fitting it in the
neck of the bottle so that the loop
portion projects somewhat below the
neck. Upon overturning the bottle
the wire loop prevents the cork from
reaching the neck to obstruct 1t.
