What It Is Like to Ely.

In "Air Craft In the Great War" by Claude Grahame-Whitea and Harry liar per, an answer to the question What is it like to ivy" is brief:
 The question has lost novelty, yet it has never been answered-Iever, that is to say, in n manner wholly convlnc- ing. The reason is that the sensation is ndescribable-"like nothing else on earth" has q passenger has suid. If you can imagine yourself gliding over smooth surface Of ice on skates you cannot feel and which make no noise. that may convey some faint idea per haps of the feelings you experience after leaving ground. You are support cd on something, yet you gre not sup ported. You look down, and there is nothing below you but m empty void. Yet the machine rides firmly and se- curely. as though you were in motor car on the snoothest road.

What Is q Placcr7

A placer is an unconsolidated deposit accumulated by mechanical processes. carrying one or more minerals in com mercial quantities. All placers arc secondary deposits-that is. the mate rial of which they are composed was originally derived by erosion of bed rock. Although 1t is undoubtedly true that under certain conditions nuggcta of placer gold have been enlarged through chemical precipitation, yet this action is a negligible quantity in plac- CTS. Placers may be derived solely ny roek weathering without water sort ing, but more commonly are the result of water transportation. sorting and deposition. Many of the richest plac- CTS are those formed by the erosion of older placers and the reconcentra- ton of their gold.

WE FELL AUSTRIA SA.E
 Q; E.UN 7loNS ISLE3aL
hnSg0. t0 Fer Protest Sh0aS
 U. 5. Is EGltfa!

The tcxt of the note sent by the United States to Austria in reply tO that country's protest against ship. ments of arms and ammunition from here was given out and follows in part:
 9The government of the United States has given careful consideration 10 the statement of the imperial royal government in regard to the exporta. ton of arms and ammunition from the United States to the countries at war with Austria-Hungary and Germany. The government of the United States notes with satisfaction the recognition that its attitude with regard to the ex- portation of arms and ammunition from the United States Is prompted by its intention to maintain the strictest neutrality but is surprised to find the imperial and royal government imply ing that the observance of the stfict principles of the law under the condi- tions which have developed in the present war is insufficient.
 During the Boer war between Great Britain and the South African repuh. lies the patrol of the coasts of neigh boring neutral colonies by British naval vessels prevented arms and nmmuni- ton reaching the Transvaal or the Orange Free State. Yet in spite of the commercial isolation of one belligerent. Germany sold to Great Britain, the other belligerent. hundreds of thnu- sands of kilos of explosives, gunpow- der. cartridges. shot and weapons. md il Is known that Austrla-Hungary also sold similar munitions to the same pur. chaser. though in smaller quantities. While. as compared with the present |.war the quantities sold were small. The principle of neutrality involved was the same"
 The note speaks of other cases of like nature. all of which point out our absolutely neutral conduct.

Do You Want Your Kidneys Ex-
 perimented On?

perimented On ?
 Kidney troubles are getting more common every day. Government health bureau figures say deaths from this cause are 72 per cent more than 20 years ago.
 Anybody who suffers constant back ache, who feels blue, nervous and irri- table; who has dizzy spells, headache and urinary disorders should suspect kidney weakness. Overworked kid neys must have rest. Take things easier; live more carefully. Take a good kidney remedy to build the kid neys up again.
 But be sure to get Doan's Kidney Pills-the oldest, the most widely used, the best recommended of all kid ney pills, now in use all over the civil ized world. Don't experiment. with your kidneys. Thousands have already tested Doan's. You have their experi- ence to go by. Plenty of cases right here in Canaan. Here s one:
 Mrs. John Man field, Reed St., Ca naan, says: My kidneys were dis ordered and I suffered from backache and pains in my head. On getting up in the morning, I felt all tired out. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at R. T. Farnum 6 Go. s Drug Store, relieved me and now feel better i'll every way. All I said praising Doan's Kidney Pills when recommended them in 1908, holds good.
 Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't 'tsim- ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Mansfield has twice publicly rec. commended. Foster Milburn O., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.
