FLYING BULLETS.
Going Very Fast, They Leave Air Waves and Eddies Behind Them.

If photograph of a speeding bullet could be taken the print would proba- bly, show space like body of water marked by what looked like speeding water bugs, each leaving a ripple in it's wake. Photographs of projectiles have been snapped in time of peace. but it is doubtful if the camera ever caught one as it sped on its mission of death. A bullet speeding at the rate of 5000 feet a second, which is more than 2,OOO miles an hour, makes a great disturbance in the atmosphere and creates air waves. which, of course, are invisible to the naked eye.
 If you draw a stick through the wa ter it causes little eddies and waves to trail behind it. The faster you draw the stick the more waves and the wider the angle will it leave. The slower the stick is drawn the fewer waves. Just so the bullet. If it is travelling slowly no waves can be pho tographed. as apparently there are none. It is only objects travelling at terrific speed that create any appreci- able air waves.
 Photographs of bullet going at a rate of speed less than 1,2OO feet sec ond show no air waves at all. This is an interesting scientific discovery. But anything cutting through the air at greater rate than this disturbs the at mosphere to such great extent that air waves are formed and can be phOtO- graphed.-NeW York Sun.

WIRELESS WAVES.
PuzzIing Problems With Which Scien-

PuzzIing Problems With Which Scien- lists Have to Contend.
 What we don't know about wireless telegraphy is still by far the larger part of that science. Practical efforts to use this means of communication are constantly hampered by difficulties that cannot be overcome or only par tially overcome by clumsy makeshifts because they are not understood. For example, the characterization of the waves used in wireless telegraphy as artificia. is justified because the ether is in state of constant pu1sa- ton with waves of enormous length about whose origin we know nothing or next to nothing. Some of them are due undoubtedly to lightning, but they are continuously rolling in on antennae properly tuned when there is no thun- derstorm within thousands of miles. It has been suggested that they are of extra terrestrial origin. perhaps the result of electrical disturbances in the sun. Some ingenious spectators have even attributed them to the MartianS or some other of our planetary neigh bors.
 But the fact is that we don't know where they come from or how they are generated. They manifest themselves in the shap of troublesome noises in the telephone receivers at wireless tel egraph stations. Another puZzling question, perhaps of more practical importance to the wireless worker is the action of the weather on his trains of waves. When these signals have long distances to travel the weather often plays havoc with them in ways as yet not we'll understood. The diff ferent carrying capacity of the ether in the daytime and at night is another practical problem still awaiting defi- nite solution.-New York Post.

A Wonderful Bird.

One day wonderful bird tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen's (wife or the famous arctic explorer) home at Christiania. Instantly the window was opened. and in another moment she covered the little messenger with kisses and caresses. The carrier pigeon had been away from the cottage thirty long months. but it had not forgotten the way home. It brought note from Nansen, stating that all was going well with him and his expedition in the polar region. Nansen had fastened d message to the bird and turned it loose. The frail courier darted out into the blizzardly air. It flew like an ar ow-.over a thousand miles of frozen waste and then sped forward over an other thousand miles of ocean and plains and forests and one morning entered the window of the waiting mistress and delivered the message which she had been awaiting so anx- iously.

BISHOP WEBB N AXIS
REFERENCE TO WAR

On Sunday morning Bishop w. w.
Webb, assisted by ssthe rector, Rev. C.
A. Wilson, confirmed a class OF six
at Trinity Episcopal church. In an ex-
ceedingly able and brilliant address fol-
lowing the confirmation service, the
bishop declared that state Of war ex-
listed for all of US; that we CO I'D no
more deny the existence of the war
against sin than we could deny the ex-
istence of the war in Europe, that
death alone could end the war for each
of us. That we must take sides; that
we had to fight, that no one could re
main neutral, that no one can serve two
masters, for he will love the one and
hate the other. Similarly he declared
that neutrality in the present European
war is impossible and referred to his
recent sermon to the students at Beloit
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1915-05-13

where he said only fool could remain
neutral; a man of brains must favor
the one or the other.
The bishop also referred to the re-
cent sinking Of the Lusit ania with a
strong, almost bitter feeling Of sorrow
and loss, due perhaps, az he explained,
to the fact that the priest whose in
Auen &c. according to the bishop, was
responsible for his entrance into this
clergy, which of course led to his pres
ent position, probably lost his life when
that great vessel was destroyed. H e
aIso expressed stroag wish tn at the
useless, terrible, barbaric war in Eu-
rope might come to speedy ending.
The sermon was clear, pleasing, and
carried strong lesson.
Those confirmed were Miss Isadore
Coward, Lodi; Miss Judith Schults,
Miss Genevieve butcher, Miss Mimi
Meyers, Robert Curry and William
Miller, Baraboo.
A banquet was given at the parish
house on Saturday evening in honor of
the bishop. In a short address he
spoke of some of the many duties he is
ca ed upon to perform in the course of
his yearly work.
