The Cantaloupe.

From the Kansas City Star.
A government expert wrote recently
of the introduction of the tomato as
one of the romances of agriculture
Only a few years ago despised as q
poisonous plant it is now universally
used as a food, thousands of acres are
given to it's cultivation, and millions OF
dollars are invested. in plants where
the tomato is canned to be carried tc
all parts OF the world.
Agriculture Is full of such romances
The Introduction of alfalfa. almost un-
known in this country twenty years
ago and now one of the most valuable
crops of the west, is one OF these ro-
mances. The spread of the canta-
loupe is another.
cantaloupe was not so much priced as
now. There were cantaloupes then, but
we did not call them by that name: we
knew them as nutmeg muskmelons
The large muskmelon, or mushmelon
was the more popular. 1t grew almost
as large as the pumpkin and its flesh
was orange or reddish in color and II
lacked the delicious flavor of the mod
ern cantaloupe.
An old resident of Kansas City re-
lates that some twenty years or SO ago
Col. D. B. Dyer. returning from west
ern trip, told him that he had eaten in
the Arkansas valley in Colorado the
finest cantaloupe in all creation. He
grew eloquent when he tried to de-
scribe its exquisite flavor. That was
what is now known as the Rocky Ford
cantaloupe, but it was unknown to the
rest of the world then.
l. is not known certainly how the best
cantaloupe in the world came to be in
that part of the Arkansas valley. Some
say a distinct variety originated there.
Others contend that soil and climate
combined there to produce high quail
ity of favor. Beets grown there con-
tain an unusually large per cent OF
sugar.

for sounds of some one following him.
| "Perhaps,' thought Peter, hopefully,
| they won't try to catch me tonight"
Now Peter never runs very far at a
| time without stopping to look and
listen He had run about a third of
| the way to the bramble-tangle when
| he stopped and sat up. With his ears
standing straight up he listened with
all his might. 1t was very still there
| in the Green Forest where he was, but
| back where he had come from he could
| just hear the gabbling voices of the
geese, and SO he knew that they had
been wakened in time He knew per-
| fectly well that the wisest thing for
him to do was to hurry on, but his
curiosity would not let him. Perhaps,
after all, there was no real danger. He
| would stay where he was and then If
no one followed him perhaps he could
slip back to Paddy's Pond and learn
| just what had happened after he had
thumped. He wondered if Honksr the
Goose knew that it was he, Peter, who
| had given the alarm.
For some little time Peter sat there
listening and heard nothing but the
distant sound of the voices of the geese.
Then suddenly his heart gave jump.
What was that? He listened harder
than ever. AS surely as he was sitting
there he heard footsteps! They were
very, very light footsteps. but they
| were coming straight toward him. He
| waited only long enough to make sure
and then once more he started for the
| BRAN BILE -tangle. lipperty-lipperty-li
and this time he didn't intend to stop
until he got there. Those light foot
! steps were made by Old Man Coyote!
Peter knew them too we'll to be mis-

Peter Rabbit Has a Close Call.

A close call means a narrow escape.
That is what Peter Rabbit had the
night he gave the warning that saved
some of the geese in the pond of Paddy
the Beaver Peter knew just how much
risk he was running when he thumped
that warning. He knew that just on
the other side of the pond. hiding in
the Black Shadows, were Old Man
Coyote and Reddy and Old Granny Fox,
and he knew. too. that they would be
very, very angry because he had spoiled
their chances of getting fat goose
for dinner. So the instant Peter had
thumped his warning he started for
the nearest bramble -tangle. 1t was
long way off, but it was the nearest
safe hiding place he knew of.

NOVEL WIND Tunnel
FOR AIRCRAFT TESTS
Largest Plant in the World for
AeronauticaI Experiments
Is Here.
EFFECT OF 8O-MILE GALE
ON PLANES Determined
Navy Officers Are Hopeful Congress
Will Authorize the Construction
of Permanent Method.

The largest plant in the world for
aeronautical experiments is at the
Washington navy yard here and IL
known as the wind tunnel The scheme
was worked out by navy designers.
and huge weight carrying biplans
soon to be constructed at the yard will
be built on data gathered from the
tests made in the big wooden boz
where an eighty-mile gale can be Gre
ated and its effect upon the planes of
a proposed aircraft can be weighed
to within 10000 of a pound
The present tunnel is a temporary
one and navy officers hope that Con-
gress will authorize the construction
OF a permanent aeroplane experiment
plant when the value OF the scheme
is fully realized. The tunnel lie eight
feet square inside, and at one end Is
an electric fan driven by a 50e-horse-
power motor. At the opposite end are
bafhes. or carefully built apertures to
allow the blasts created by the fan
to escape without generating any back
pressure to destroy the value Of the
experiment.
Coming down through the roof of the
tunnel is metal level to which are
attached the model planes to be tested.
These are about a foot long, represent
Ing the full sweep of a sixty-foot lift
act reproduction of the real planes and
can be set at any angle.
Mechanism Delicately Adjusted.
Above the tunnel is the weighing
machine, an intricate system of levers
and fulcrums leading finally to the in
dicator needle, swaying along a gradu-
ated quadrant, where the divisions
are SO minute that they must be read
with a magnifying glass. The mech
anism is so delicately adjusted that q
pressure of 10000 part of pound win
be noted by the vibrations of the
needle.
When the plane model to be tested
has been set, the big fan is started and
a wind force is developed in the tunnel
that can be increased or decreased At
will. Step by step the operator notes
the weights shown by the scale for
winds Of various intensity and with the
plane set at various angles. From
his data he then plots the curve Of the
lifting power of the plane and the
power necessary to drive an aircraft
equipped with planes of that type at
any desired speed. The results also will
show the surface friction of the air
against various kinds of material used
in plane construction.
Speedometer Being Worked Out.
BY means of the tunnel an aeroplane
speedometer is being worked out which
will show aviatore the exact speed At
which they are travelling, indicated on
a dial as with an automobile instru-
ment.
This is of great importance to air
men, as the stability of their craft de-
pends largely upon speed and any de-
crease in speed as shown by the indi-
Gator would give warning of engine
trouble before the motor actually went
dead.
Much experimental work for private
aircraft builders is being done at the
government wind tunnel, and system

Blood and Iron
rom the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
What Is the real origin of the famous
phrase commonly believed to have been
used for the first time by Bismarck
We all, of course, know thai in the
Prussian diet of 1862 Bismarck de-
clared: ''The great questions are to be
settled, not by speeches and majority
resolutions, but by blood and iron" The
belief here avowed remained with the
chancellor to the end, for in his MEM
oirs' he repeated the declaration thus:
I'VE could get no nearer the goal by
speeches, associations. decisions of ma
jorities: we should be unable to avoid
serious contest which could only be
settled by blood and iron" Bismarck,
we may assume. when first using the
words had in mind a familiar song
written during the war of liberation
against Napoleon by Max Won Schen-
kendorff, in which occur the lines:
Nur Eisen kann retten
Und erlosen kann nur Blut!
only iron can save US. and blood alone
can set us free"-a prophecy. the Prus-
sian believes, fulfilled in the states
manship of Bismarck.
