Aerial Dreadnauuhts.

When Mr.. Tenant spoke in the
house OF commons recently on the
large aeroplanes used by Russia, he
was alluding to what is known as the
Sikorsky biplane, the dreadnaught of
flying machines. This biplane is the
largest heavier-than-air machine yet
invented, and can carry at least twice
the load Of any known aeroplane. The
dead weight of the machine is no less
than three and half tons, and it can
carry load of over a ton.
Nearly half ton of fuel and oil is
carried, and when on war recon-
naissance could carry quarter of a
ton Of explosives, consisting perhaps
Of half dozen giant bombs, each
weighing 10 pounds, as compared with
the one or two which aeroplanes now
carry, or ten or a dozen 20-pound
bombs. Although compared with a
Zeppelin the Sikorsky biplane only
carries about quarter the amount of
explosives, and has q much shorter
range, 1t has the very great advan-
tage Of being much cheaper, easier
to build, less at the mercy of the
elements, and a smaller target. 1t
was stated in 1914 that the Russian
government had ordered five Of these
big biplanes.-London Times.

Losses SURELY pREVENTED
What Poems Believe.

Just as the religion of the Mexican
peon causes him to people his daily
surroundings with the presence of the
saints, so does his superstitious mind
assign supernatural causes to things
not easily explained, and bid him see
evil spirits and hobgoblins in strange
or unfrequented places.
Naturally, much of, this superstition
has come down with the traditions of
his Aztec forbears, whose polytheis-
tic religion set up many imaginary
gods and spirits.
The devil and his attendant hobgob-
Inns are active people in this peoples
minds.
But-happy tribute to the strength
of Christianity! sign of the cross
is potent to Danish imaginary fiends on

Great Man Didn't Scare.

A student once tried to frighten
Cuvier, the great naturalist, and sue
ceeded only in giving the wise man a
curious way of showing his knowledge
Of living things. The student dressed
up as a terrible animal and crept into
the professors bedroom one night.
"Cuvier," he cried, in hollow voice.
"Cuvier, I've come to eat you!"
The naturalist peered at him and i'm
mediately broke into laugh.
What, horns and hoofs-graminiv-
orous-you can't" he said.
He saw that the supposed monster
had hoofs and horns and he knew that
such animals eat grain and grasses
and not flesh. So he was not in the
least afraid Of being eaten.

Wanda, the Polish nursemaid Of the
Mailer household Of Darby, has dem
onstrated to the family that, while she
can speak no English and doesn't know
one Darby street from another, she can
think herself out OF any difficulty once
she gets lost.
One evening Wanda was instructed
to take the family's proudest posses
sion, Minnie, a 15-pound incubator
baby, out for an airing.
Wanda was so intent on looking aft
er the baby's personal interests that
she got lost.
AS night fell she decided she sim
ply must get home, so she set her
mind to work on the problem. At last
a yellow dog came along.
Wanda had seen the dog around the
Mailer home, and she thought that If
she followed him she would get back
into the Mailer neighborhood.-P

GAMES OF ZULU CHILDREN
Youngsters Have Their Own Amuse-
ments, Much as Do Those of
Other Countries.

Zulu children are in most particu.
lars exceedingly like any other chill
dren who chance to arrive in this
world with white instead of black
skins.
They play the same games, or, If
girls, love the same dolls, as for the
matter Of that the old Egyptians did
long ago.
Indeed, the doll make believe ap-
pears to be carried further than is
common In civilized countries. Thus
the small Kafirs build actual huts for
them in place of the houses that here
are provided ready-made from the toy
| shop.
They give them stones to grind their
corn, mats for sleeping, pots for cook
ing, and so forth. They provide them
with a cattle kraal stocked with clay
oxen, goats and fowls. They marry
them in a realistic manner singing
the appropriate songs.
The owner of boy doll will manu-
facture and pay away ten clay cattle
in order to supply it with a wife or
wives in the shape of properly-or i'm.
properly-dressed female dolls, and
with such married puppets a lad may
play, although it is beneath his dignity
to amuse himself with an unwed
maiden doll.
So 1t Is with everything else. They
have their parties which last all night,
and their clans that play with or
more generally fight other clans be-
longing to the next kraal or tribe.
The sense of honor is very fully de-
veloped in them, and the sense of
greediness still more-so much so. in
deed, that they will stuff themselves
with half-cooked and unplucked birds
caught in the Weld which, did they
bring home, they fear would be taken
from them and eaten by their elders
They manufacture excellent traps
to catch these birds and other wild
things, such as mice, which they also
eat.
They possess an elaborate system of
tagging, and a good fight with sticks,
not fists, is the Joy of their hearts.
AS with our children, the boys look
down upon the girls, except on Ger.
tain occasions, when, for instance,
pair Of them will share the same
pempe, or bird soaring hut, in which
they play at being sweethearts, the
head boy choosing the best favored
girl, or sometimes the prettiest girl Sc
lecting her own boy.

Prince NAPOLEON.

Prince Victor Jerome Frederic Ma
poleon, who has obtained permission
of the Italian military authorities to
go to the front. is the head of the
Napoleon family. Ordinarily he lives
in Brussels, having been expelled from
France many years ago. He is a
Partisan; however, by birth, and his
sympathies with the allies are further
cemented by the fact that his wife is
Princess Clementine, daughter of
King Leopold Of Belgium, and his
mother is a princess of the house Of
Savoy. 1t needed but the entry of a
Napoleon to make the cast complete.

RADICAL CHANGES IN CHINA
Republican Government Doing Many
Things, Among Others Breaking
Through Historic Wall.

The great wall which has surround
ed the city Of Peking for many CEN
turies is undergoing an unusual
change. Peking is laid out in a SYM
metrical form, with nine gates lead
ing through the great wall. Each
side has two gates except the front,
where an extra central gate-the
Chien-men-leads directly into the for
hidden city, the central inclosure Of
Peking. This Chien-men, or front
gate, is the one most seriously crowd
ed with traffic; and yet tradition up
to the present day has never permit
ted it to be enlarged nor any other
gate to ibe broken near it in order to
relieve the congestion of rickshaws,
carts, donkeys, motor cars, camels
and heavy-laden human beasts of bur-
den-coolies.
The present republican government
Is by no means so superstitious as the
old exclusive Manchu regime, but
Yuan Shi-kai must take into considera-
tion the superstitions of the people.
The gate through which former en-
perors passed in and out Of Peking
was opened Immediately after the re-
public was established; but only few
days after it had been thrown open
to the public mutiny of the troops
took place in Peking, and much OF
the town was looted. The cause Of
the calamity was laid to the credit OF
the newly opened gate, whereupon 1t
was Immediately closed and has never
since been swung upon its hinges.
Since the republic has been we'll
established number of changes in
the minor inner walls have taken
place, notably two new gates having
been broken in one Of these inner
walls; and as no calamity has be-
fallen the city, the government is now
making bold efforts to relieve the
congestion at the Chien-men by break
ing two new gates through the great
wall.
The wall is forty or fifty feet high
and forty or fifty feet thick. The
work is difficult task because the
excellent mixture Of cement of former
days has fastened the bricks like
stone together with remarkable firm
ness. 1t is expected that the sections
Of another smaller wall will be found
within this large wall, the smaller one
probably being that which Marco Polo
described in the account of his visit
to the famous capital Of Kublai Khan.
