A Cape Cod Comedy

me latest story by Joseph c. Lincoln
C'kent Knowles: 'ouahaug'," d. Apple
Ton y Co, New York; is more of novel
than any Of its predecessors. but this
uiherence in construction, has had no eff
rect ON the humorous quality which
marks all Of his writing. one could
speak, in this connection Of the "1ln-
coinian humor," but that the term has
peen pre-empted by another Lincoln.
There is. however, a bit OF similarity be-
tween the two brands; both are indige-
nously American and both are of the nat
urai, spontaneous kind. But the humor
OF Joseph G. is all his own, and those
VINO nave read his previous books know
What to expect in Kent Knowles 1"
Those who haven't had that delightful
experience might well begin with this
story. They will find Cape Codders, Of
course, with all their homely wit and
common-sense, but this time the tale
goes abroad, even to Parislan cabaret
Quahaug" is the Cape Codders' nick
name for Knowles, a writer of books
VINO has come among them and lives
with a genial old maid relative named
Hepzibah. "Quahaug" Is clam" Its
application is fitting. The process by
which Knowles crawls out of his shell
much else, and when he comes back to
America he brings wife. In poor lodg-
ings In London he and his old-maid trav-
cling companion find the girl the daugh-
ter OF man who had taught her that
Hepzy's family had swindled him out of
aNortune. She demands her rights. The
truth Is. her embezzling father had
wrecked the fortune of Hepzy's father.
And Knowles and Hepzy keep the secret
and take her into fha
her health. She hates them and draws
largely on the mythical funds which she
expects to be restored to her Finally she
has to be told the truth, and then she
runs away to Paris.
The story is we'll worked out and is
effectively told! There is as much story
as humor. The author has come off with
flying colors from his most ambitious eff
fort in fiction.
The book is of additional interest from
the fact that 1t strongly contrasts Eng
lish and American customs and ideas.

Russia,s Monster AeropIanes.

A good deal has been heard concerr-
ing the British and German aero
planes, but the great Sikorsky BIZ
planes used by the troops of the czar
have been rather overlooked. These
machines. invented by famous Rus
sian named Sikorsky, are by far the
biggest aeroplanes being flown in the
war-in fact, they are the largest in
the world. They stand 16 feet high,
and are about 100 feet wide. The
Sikorsky can carry almost as many
passengers as an airship. Twenty
men can be accommodated in the
large passenger cabin, which is con-
structed of metal and contains numer-
GUS windows. In this machine three
engines are fitted. which give a total
of nearly 1000 Horsepower. for, ow-
ing to the Sikorsky biplane weigh
ing in itself one and half
tons, and having SO large a crew to
carry. 1t demands high power to pull
it off the ground and keep 1t in the
air.
The weight Of the machine has ne
cessitated an elaborate landing
chassis. composed of numerous
springs and pneumatic tubes. SO that
the huge biplane can alight safely on
rough ground at speed of 60 miles
an hour.
