Pelican and Flaminqo.

The hook Of the ~pelican's bill Ia red.
and undoubtedly the fable that the pei
lean feeds it's young with blood from
it's own breast originated In the birds
habit Of pressing the bill upon the
breast in order to o easily empty
the pouch. when the red tip might be
mistaken for blood. Another explana'
ton Is that the pelican became confus
I'd with the ia mingo. which discharges
hto the mouth of its young a Secretion
which in color resembles blood.

Youthful Eseapades Of Tolstoy.

Youthful Escapades Of ToIstoy.
TolstOy's sister. Marie. related that
one day at the hour Of luncheon he
succeeded in eluding the vigilance OF
his tutor in order to carry into execu-
ton a project he had long had In view.
This was to jump out Of the window
into the courtyard. u distance Of fr-
teen feet below. The boy did it and
providentially did not break any
bones. but the shock was so great thar
he slept afterward for eighteen hours.
Nothing caused Tolstoy the boy NOR"
annoyance about this time than the
knowledge that he was very plain fea-
tured. To be revenged or nature he
determined to make himself still uglier
and with this end In view cut OF his
eyebrows.

DESERT AUTO is NO CAMEL
These Men Forget to Provide Water
for Their Desert Ride and
Ones Dies.

Failure to think about evaporation
in an automobile radiator brought
death to one man and frightful tor
lures to two others, who arrived in
Los Angeles from the desert and told
of their sufferings. The trio-James
S. Roche and John H. Welsh, att0r-
neys, and James G. Clarke, a real es-
tate dealer-left here Sunday in an
automobile for Ell Centre, in the i'm
perial valley.
Monday morning the car stopped in
the sand. The radiator was empty and
they had no water Roche and Welsh
started after a mirage which they be-
lieved was the Salton sea. Clarke
waited a day, and then, believing
them dead, made his way to Mineral
Springs, where he was resuscitated
after falling himself in faint and Or
ganized a rescue party. They found
Roche unconscious and Welsh dsad.l
Roche said they drank lubricating oil.

WILL kER0PLANES STOP WAR
orrVtfte Wright Is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think So,
Anyhow.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is very definite reason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other? The reason, as figure it out,
IS aeroplanes, Orville Wright writes
III Golfers. In consequence of the
scouting work done by the flying ma
chimes, each side knows exactly what
the opposition forces are doing,
There is little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massng his troops at un-
expected places. The acrOplane has
made that impossible. 1t has equal
lied information. Each side has such
complete knowledge OF the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick, spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
present war started the army experts
expected it to be a matter of a few
weeks or, at most, a few months. Today
it looks as if it might run into years
before one side can dictate terms.
Now nation that may be willing to
undertake war lasting few months
may we'll hesitate after engaging in
one that will occupy years.
The daily cost Of a great war is OF
course stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the total is likely to
be SO great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibtively expensive. And the
scouting work in flying machines will
be the predominating factor, as it
seems to me, in bringing this about.

Edinburgh, Scotland, has two dozen
women street car conductors who are
a thorough success in the new line of
work. Other tramways are already
recruiting girls and training them to
be conductors. It is said that girls
working in the English cartridge fac
tories are so fired with patriotism
that some of them work thirty hours
in a stretch without any rest. Miss
Elizabeth Lister has been appointed
stationmaster in South Wales, the first
woman to act in that capacity. In
the north of England and in Scotland
and Wales the men workers are being
supplanted in the fields by women,
who can be seen following the har-
row. or digging and hoeing.

helps to promote affection. Whatever

to every member of the family, and
can be made an occasion that will re-
