Lusitania-All OF.

So far everything was in good shane.
Hammond had mis- propaganda under
way. The quotations were IN. Schim-
mel had the figures, and the schemers
awaited the word TO go ahead. Inc
steamship Ponald lay moored in the
river and ready money loomed up IN
all directions.
But The Chief" had not put his o.
ON The deal. Later II developed
that there was another mysterious
buvtr Who was concerned and whom
Dr. Schimmel seems 10 have ignored
The supposition is that the delay was
caused by him. il vas said that many
cargoes had been sent TO the Germans
through thc Offices Of Dr. DernburE,
who had been very busy in his "unoHl-
cal capacity"
Anyhow a certain amount c. time
was consumed in getting the new o.
der o. things into shape. Meantime
the option on the Ronald was peril
ouslv near expiration. However, after
some persuasion. the steamship com
pany agreed to an extension OF the op-
ton. and the situation was somewhat
relieved.
Then came the Lusitania affair. That
night The Chief" stood before the
bulletin board OF an uptown news
paper and learned of the great loss OF
life entailed by the destruction OF the
vessel.
Next morning came the yachtsman
20 his partner. the export man. ne
faces OF both were white when they
met The same thought was in the
mind Of each and the same words
lcaped TO their lips. The deal was or.
Nothing could induce them to carry
out ,he programme. They feared that
war with Germany might ensue and
did not wish to be discovered IN the
act Of aiding that country. even indi-
rectly
Within short time Schimmel tele
phoned. Was everything all right?
Could they get the goods to the steam
81 right away? He expected 10 have
the order approved at once.
The partners were deaf 10 his APP
peals. He must find another medium
through which TO work. But in spite
of their emphatic assertions the doctor
did not give up for three days. Every
morning he called up and renewed
his pleadrys. He did not win out,
however. and the Ronald sailed away
with another cargo
Since then the Germans have been
marking time. They are not sure
what he outcome OF the present stu
alton will he. Also it is hard to find
an American concern that cares TO be
identified with the transaction at this
time
Tentative negotiations are being car
ried on. nevertheless. and hope still
lives ~ the hearts Of those who will
pe benefited. II remains to be seen
what houses will take a chance on the
business. "The Chief" is game. lie
is a good loser. as becomes German
gentleman. There is no denying that
he is all OF that, in the fullest sense
Of the word.

trailing wire is wound on a spool,
which can be operated by the pres
sure of the aviator's thumb and
stopped at will.
The aeroplanes being swifter, would
be sent against the dirigible in fioeks
of three or four The aviators would
depend ON their speed and the great
altitude to which they can ascend to
keep out OF range. At the proper time
the bombs would be released on the
wires and a dash made at the enemy.
In addition to the triggers, which
can be locked until the bomb is ready
for use. the bombs are fitted with
sharp graphing hooks. AS the wire
is drawn across the big gas bag the
hooks will catch and draw the trig-
gers into contact with the envelope.
The explosion will follow.

MINES IN THE AIR
Americans Idea Of Combating
the ZeppeIins.
Philadelphia Has Designed Project
Which He Believes viii Be Effcc-
tive n Air Raids Should Be
Put Into Operation.

Picture a monster Zeppelin, as long
as an ocean liner, laden with tons of
death-dealing explosives, creeping
through the murky mist Of winter
night toward London. Picture, again,
IL you can, the skies turned to flame
and the heavens shattered as the hun
dreds of thousands of cubic feet of
hydrogen gas explodes, scattering the
sinister craft in tiny pieces over the
streets and housetops of the city.
That is the graphic sketch OF what
is likely to occur II the Zeppelins at
tempt a serious raid on London, as
given by Joseph A. Steinmetz of Phil
adelphia. Mr.. Steinmetz is the orig
inator of the first serious considered
scheme OF mining the air and the in
ventor of the trailing bombs for the
destruction of dirigibles.
In few words, the plan devised by
Mr.. Steinmetz is to install on all the
buildings in a threatened area large
number of hydrogen balloons. They
are held ready for instant use, and
each is attached to a fine wire two
miles long, wound on a windlass. The
wire is so small that a mile of it
weighs but four pounds, while it has a
tensile strength of 100 pounds.
The Zeppelin, sighted by the look
out, would be permitted to proceed I'M
til almost over the objective point.
Then, simultaneously, scores of the
balloons, to each of which is attached
highly explosive, inflammable
bomb, would be released.
Each bomb is surrounded with
ring of hair triggers, and the slight
est touch would cause an explosion
which would unquestionably ignite
the gas in the dirigible. The plan is
to send a certain number of the mines
to a given altitude, while others will
be anchored at different heights, thus
allowing the Zeppelin no chance to
escape.
The other method of destroying the
German craft is along similar lines,
but differs in that it is conducted
through the use of aeroplanes. Each
machine is equipped with bombs such
as are used in the air mines. The

TO BRIGHTEN DEVILS
Example of Superstition in Eight.
eenth Century.
When the Science Of Medicine Was
Emerging From state Of Ieno-
rance Doctors Had to Adjust
Selves to Circumstances.

The idea that a horse chestnut in
your pocket will cure rheumatism or
that the wearing of a red string on
the finger will stop nose bleed, and
many other foolish beliefs which still
persist are part Of our heritage from
the days when what is now the sci
ence Of medicine was only curious
mass Of superstition.
For centuries mankind had little or
no accurate knowledge Of the nature
of disease and its causes. Among all
races. at some time or other, the be.
