When the military aeroplane is scouting. it usually carries two men Ore Is the pilot, who runs and steers the craft; the other is the observer, who marks the placing of the hostile troops, the position of their guns, the movement of trains, and the like. The observer also makes many sketches cf the ground over which he is flying work that often interferes with his writing notes and memoranda. In certain conditions of flight, too, 1t is often hard for him to use a pencil and paper. To obviate that difficulty the military aeroplane now frequently carries photograph, with speaking tube running to the mouth of the ob. server, so that by talking into the machine at any time during the flight he can record his observations, and still have his hands free for his field glass or his sketchipg pencil.

CARRANzA DENIES SITUATION IS AS
 BAD AS PAINTED
!. Leader of One Faction De clares Duvall West Mis- led by Intriguers.

Wash ngton, June lon tha eve Of President Wilson's announcement 10 the American public of vide spread distress and famine in Mexico and tht necessity for it's cessation. G neral Carranza has authorized a statement d clarhg that the reports Of famine are a scandal provoked in the press of the United States"
 Ela:eo Arredondo, re2r senting Garranza here aade the following stat ment tonight
 q am directed by Mir. Carranza today 10 say that the scandal provok- ed in the press of the United States ever tho eXaggcrat d shortage of fcod stuffs in the city of NJ xico, has for it's only source the violent con- plaint of group of res.I nts of the capital called the international com m ttes In it's efforts to adequately Hrint the news of the world, the press cannot evdde tho intrigues of political parties, and on this occas- on, as on previous ones, it has b. en surprised and misled by a political group directing the work of the above mentioned committee"
 This staten ent is patiently an int!- nation that the reports of the presi- dents az mt Duvall West, ar mis- leading and that the information On which tn presidents action is to be based, x also misleading.
 MT. ArreIcndo denies 'that any forces of Mra Ca:ranza have inter 2eptcd the importation Of the GOO tons of corn, oftcH alluded to in tn press repCrts.' He ind cites that these interested in giving it circula- tion may have succeeded in inducing the Brazilan minister in charge of American interests in Mexico to voice the same as authentic.'
 Mr. Arredondo, speaking generally as to Mexico, says that the "descrip- tion of cond tions as sent to thA de- Eartnent of state and to the press is highly exaggerated"
 General Carranza, it is stated, has S00,O00 bushels of corn for the re- lief of M; Nico City. but if he ssnt it there in advance of his troops cit would fall into the hands of the Zapatistas and would be used to feed CarranZa's enemieS''

The Pineapple in England.

Pineapples, which Londoners can now buy at the cheapest rate within living memory. first reached England in the latter part of the seventeenth century. The fr.li: was thus navelty to Sir Christopher Wrens generation; but he soon recognized it's value as an architectural ornament. and copper pineapples about five feet high figure prominently on the towers of St. Paurs So highly did Wren esteem the fine proportions and enriched sur. face of this fruit that his original de- sign for St. Paul's shows an enormous pineapple in the place of the dome. Happily his maturer thoughts saved us from that appalling spectacle. Since Wren the pineapple has been as much at home in our architecture as on our dinner tables. It has descended even to cast iron, and Is frequently found in old-fashioned streets. Queen Victoria treasured a seal given by her husband on which pineapple was engraved, together with the motto. "Sa gloire nest pas sa couronne. Mall Ga zette.
