Aerial Scouts.

During the present war, the aero
plane has proved very useful In scout
ing; indeed, the heavier-than-air ma
chine is generally admitted to be su-
perior to the airship for spying out
the position OF the enemy. The aero
plane is less conspicuous: 1t is faster;
II makes smaller target; 1t costs al
most nothing to make in comparison
with a dirigible balloon. and 1t can
fly at a higher altitude. Sir John
French pays high tribute to the aero
plane scouts in one Of his interesting
reports on the campaign In France
"One Of the features Of the campaign
on our side has been the success oi
the Royal Flying corps. In regard tc
the collection OF information. It Is i'm
possible to award too much praise tc
our aviators for the way they have
carried out their duties, or to over
estimate the value OF the intelligence
collected, more especially during the
recent advances" For the 20 day.

HIS HAPPINESS IN DANCING
Footwork Did Not Bother Anxious
Pupil, but Rather Wanted Pro-
fessor to Teach Him Holds.

Daniel G.. Reid, the New York capi.
talist, smiled when reference wac
made to the modern dances. He said
he was reminded Of the chief concern
Of party named John Henry.
John Henry wished to wise himself
on modern dancing, and went to a
well-known professor for instruction.
At the first lesson the pupil didn't
show any great aptitude, and several
times the instructor was compelled to
call halt.
"Just a moment, sir! Just mo-
ment!" he interviewed, for the tenth
time. THAT will never do"
whats the matter?" responded
John Henry. "Am / getting things 6
bit twisted?"
"Yes," answered the professor, "yor

Iutlonlzed Process OF investigation.
Of Wrecks That Lie Many
Fathoms Below Surface.

Several years ago, after a number
Of distressing accidents, the British
admiralty determined to make some
scientific tests in the hope Of elimi-
mating certain dangers to which the
naval divers were exposed In service.
without going into details, but by
using double the number Of air pumps
and adopting several important pre-.
cautionary measures, they did succeed
In sending down two unusually fit
men to a depth Of 210 feet in the shell
tered water of landlocked bay,
points out Robert G. Skerrett In the
Scientific American.
Now keep the next fact In mind.
In descending, bottom was reached in
two minutes, and after a stay Of 81
minutes the men were slowly brought
back to the surface, the ascent taking
so minutes! This was required to in
sure safe decomposition and to guard
them against any i'll effects Of Their
great submergence.
In the American idea, the all-meta
armor. the men we're lowered to the
water bed in trifle over three min

feet down to see that the telephone
was working properly.
After being on the bottom for ten o.
more minutes the divers were hoistet
up and out upon the deck Of the par
ent steamer In less than a minute ant
q half.
Why was 1t possible to do this II
the latter case and not with the Brit
lsh admiralty divers?
Simply because the American diver
were not subjected to the hydrostati
pressure Of the enveloping water, an
were able to breathe air at atmoi
pheric pressure. Their bodies wer
not subjected to abnormal stresses
and therefore no period Of readjus
ment was necessary.

SAVED BY AN INSPIRATION
Presence Of Mind Of French Soldier
Saved His Life When Situation
Seemed Hopeless.

In Napoleon's campaign in Russia
one of his generals. Philippe de Segur,
had peculiar adventure with q band
of Kalmucks. The Kalmucbs are wan
dering tribes Of southeastern Russia.
They are fierce warriors, and their
light cavalry forms an important part
of Russian armies. De Segur's pres
ence Of mind saved him from being
killed by them when the most desper-
ate fighting could not have done SO.
The French had attacked body OF
Russians and put them to flight. when
l,egur suddenly discovered chat he and
a few French dragons had become
separated from the French army and
were being carried away with the re-
treating party.
| He and his men were surrounded by
a band of Kalmucks. The situation
seemed SO hopeless that the men gave
themselves up and, disregarding his
orders, passively allowed themse'ves
10 be struck down. De Segur deter
lined to sell his life dearly and con-
lued to fight. A Kalmuck lance struck
i'm from his horse. He jumped to
his feet and, getting behind his horse,
continued the struggle. 1t was hope
less contest, however, and in few
moments he would have been killed
ad not a happy thought occurred te

The kalmuck leader, a fine-lookine
Cossack, remained calm while his mer
were carried away with the fury o.
battle. The expression on his naughty
tountenance indicated that he scornet

time to time he called. "Nikale

De Segur guessed that this was al
