Another resident says that after
dropping the first two bombs on King 9
Lynn the Zeppelin proceeded to the
south of the town and waited there.
The motorcar. with four powerful head
lights, entered the town 10y the south

The Germans are using from their
Zeppelins two types of bombs. one is
apparently an ordinary giobular gren-
ade, to which is attached a tail of linen
to guide it in its flight. and the other
takes the form of an aerial torpedo.
This is fired from the gondolas of the
airship from special launching tube
placed upon a mounting with univer-
sal joint, so that the tube can be swung
to any angle and the torpedo sent upon
its journey by simply pressing a trig-
ger
The deadly weapon itself consists Of
n pointed shell approximately twenty
inches long by four inches in diameter
In the nose is high explosive (prob-
ably trinitrotOluoD. which is fired by a
percussion cap on contact. Beyond
this is another compartment that con-
tatns the propellant. which is slow
burning compound.
This when ignited gives of gases
produced by its combustion. which in
turn drives d powerful turbine in the
rear Of the torpedo. and by this means
it is driven forward at a high velocity
and at the same time imparts a rapid
rotating motion as II IL were fired from
rified cannon, which. of course. adds
considerably to its efficiency.
The aerial torpedo has a stout shell
Of steel and gives off no flame. which.
Of course. would be dangerous to a gas
filed Zeppelin. The impetus impaired
to the torpedo by the turbine Is re-
markable. and. allowing for the speed
Of the airship. the shell can be hurled
with great accuracy. 1t was taken up

1t is interesting to note that the path

from the Zeppelin Is composed of two

path due to gravity. In the case Of

fire and were further damaged and
deseCrated by the Moslems: hence in
1855 a new church was put up.
Then the crusaders arrived in Jerusa-
lem. To them the buildings on the
holy site appeared far too insignificant.
So they erected a large Romanesque
church. a considerable part of which
is still eXtant. In consequence of
fresh damage done to the buildings in
1887 and 1874 another handsome church
was built in 1910, to which two domes
were added in 400. Owing to contin-
ued complaints during the ensuing CEN
turtles that the latter were unsafe. a
great part of the church was rebuilt in
1913. Then, in 1908. the entire struc-
ture was almost entirely wiped out by
fire.
The Greeks had by that time secured
to themselves the principal right to the
building. With the assistance mainly

AS to whether the Church OF the Holy
Sepulcher really stands on the site OF
the Saviour's tomb. hewn in the rock.
wherein his body lay after the cruci-
fixion. there are all sorts Of conflicting
testimony.
Biblical references to the location Of
the tomb are very meager. From tho

went home and began to sell steel at price

SUNDAYS CONCERT

LlOR sheer inspiration few events of the
u past months in Philadelphia can equal
the concert given Sunday by the Philadelphia
Orchestra. In this the music and its players
certainly had part; but the spirit of the
occasion was by far the more significant.
From every part of the city and from its
suburbs came men and women of almost
every degree of wealth and poverty. If social
standards have been nebulous in the past.
they were obliterated in the common desire
to hear good music. The audience was a.
one, and actually took part in the afternoons
performar ce. Their presence was the reason
for its existence, and their evident pleasure
was more than justification, So carefully
was the suspicion of commercialism avoided
that no advertisements appeared even in the
programs. So wisely was the event ordered
that the pleasure and comfort of each indi-
vidual was complete, A fine thing in itself
as an augury of finer things the occasion
was altogether successful

CRITICAL RELATIONS WITH AUSTRIA

TT WOULD be sheer stupidity to deny the
i gravity of the situation, so far as our
relations with Vienna are concerned, in view
OF the arrogant tone of the Austrian reply
TO our note.
2 The madness of Austria has been aggra-
waited vastly since an influx of Germans
saved her Beaten armies and brought to them
for the first time in generations some real
military victories. But there is one tone to
be observed when dealing with a Serbia and
another when answering the protests of such
a nation as the United States. Our note
writing may be ridiculed. for war-ridden
Europe seems to be utterly unable to COM
prehend the patient devotion of this country
to peace, so long as peace with honor is at
all possible; but back of that underwriting
is national purpose as definite and set as
any that ever actuated a great people
The time for patience has long since
passed. There must come from Vienna
completely satisfactory answer or our official
relations with Austria will be terminated.
That would be regrettable only so far as we
are concerned, but for Austria and Germany
1t might well prove to be the beginning of
the end. The issue is out of our hands.

MILLIONS IN SMALL HOMES

TINE average value of each parcel of real
i estate transferred in this city during the
past eleven months was about s2700. The total
transfers numbered 2S59S and the total value
was S75 567,53S This is more than 100000 in
excess of the value of the transfers for the
twelve months of 1914. The impression of the
real estate men that it has been a poor year
for them is not sustained by these figures.
The record is impressive and encouraging,
for it reveals that Philadelphia is still main
tanning its pre-eminence as the city of mex
pensive homes. The proportion of one-family
houses to the population is much greater here
than in any other large city. The average
number of persons in each house is only 80
In 1890 it was 90. In the old city of New
York there are 800 persons in each house,
whereas in 1890 the number was 1919. The
average in the whole city of New York, in
cluding Brooklyn, staten Island and Queens
is three times as great as In Philadelphia.
A city in which the people can invest $4,000
900 in small homes in a year is in a pretty
wholesome condition.
