Differe ntiatinu DirluibIes.

The London crowd which gapes
cheerfully at the army airship maneu-
vering over the city always asks itself
whether 1t is looking at friendly YES
sci or Zeppelin. II is apparently
ignorant Of the difference Of design,
and so free from nerves" that the
doubt does not disturb 1t. Probably
IL a Zeppelin really did come the av-
erage Londoner would crowd up for a
good place to see the bomb dropping.
The instinct for front seat seems to
be stronger than that of selfpreserva-
ton. The Schutte-Lanz airship is not
unlike an ordinary nonrigid airship in
the shape Of the balloon. 1t is not
cylindrical. but whale shaped, like a
submarine. But in construction 1t Is
like Zeppelin. with q rigid aluminium
framework. II is evidently considered
q successful type, for Germany has
been building as many Of the Schultz
LAM type as OF the Zeppelin. The
name is compound Of the names of
designer and builder. The inventor
was Schultz, and LAM In the name of
the Arm that constructs them.

LEARN MIGRATION OF MOTHS
Department Of Agriculture Systematic
In Its War on the Pest Of
the Farmer.

Unusual methods are being fol-
lowed by the department OF agricul,
ture in its attempt to control the
spread of army-worm moths in the
United States. The plan, which EN-.
braces a close study of the habits OF
the insect, is one which requires the
assistance of every person In the east,
ern and central states. The entomolo-
gists are catching the moths, coloring
one wing Of each and then liberating
them in order to determine in what
direction they emigrate, and how
quickly and how far they spread.
Agents at Portsmouth, Va. are STAIN
ing one wing of each specimen red;
those at Charlottesville, Va, black or
yellow, and those at Hagerstown, Md,
violet. The moths are then allowed
to follow their natural course, and the
success of the experiment is left to
the advices returned to the bureau Of
entomology by the people at large
Popular Mechanics.

Hamlet to the doll designers, "and you

eighteen and twenty-five.
But that Is over now. Realism has

WOULD FLY; MAY NEVER WALK
Fate Surely Has Dealt Harshly With
inventor Who Had Planned
Great Things.

After having worked in vain for so
years on an invention which he hoped
would solve the problem of aviation,
Frederick Merrill Shaw, eighty-seven
years old, of 237 North Grand avenue,
slipped on banana peel at First and
Main streets yesterday morning and
sustained injuries from which physi-
clans at the Receiving hospital say
he can never permanently recover.
ITS the irony Of fate" the old man
said. II have devoted nearly all my
life to my invention, which, when per-
fected. would In reality permit men to
fly in the clouds with the safety Of
birds, and here am on hospital cot
as the result of simple accident on
the ground"
Mr.. Shaw is suffering from a frac.
tued limb. his left leg having been
broken near the nip. Owing to his
advanced years 1t is not considered
likely that he will ever be able to
walk.
While discussing the accident and
his life work Mr.. Shaw, who is one Of
the city's well-known eccentric char.
acters, took from his pocket sheet
OF paper on which was drawn a dia.
gram Of the air machine he had iabored
on for SO many years. He exhibited
It with pride, declaring II he only had
more time and little money he could
yet perfect 1t. His device is OF the
famous Darius Green type, providing
huge wings to be operated by men
birds. About twenty years ago he
thought he had finished his invention.
and In giving public demonstration,
fell from the roof Of twostory build.
Ing and broke a number of bones.
Upon three different occasions he at.
tempted to prove to the world that he
had mastered the air problem. and
each time fell to the ground, twice
breaking the same limb that was frac
tured yesterday.--Los Angeles Times

GAVE FRESH EGGS AS TIPS
toured When the Price
Was Low.

A man who attracted attention by
reason Of the generous size Of the
check on his suit, and carrying rose
wood case, entered the barber shop
Of the Vanderbilt, and, after selecting
an operator. carefully deposited his
box near a hat rack, says the New
York Times. Having been released
from the chair, he strolled about the
room, putting on his collar and neck,
tie the while, and finally said to Miss
Mae Lewis, the head artist of the
manicure department, that he would
like his nails treated.
But" he said, 81 must warn you
that do not give cash for tips; give
only eggs"
"Eggs!" gasped Miss Lewis.
Surely" repeated the visitor, real,
fresh, newly laid eggs. You do not
know what treasure such thing is
in New York. l always bring a case
Of them when I come in from the
country. Look!"
He brought over the rosewood case
and opened 1t. On top, sure enough,
was a layer Of eggs.
II never travel without them" went
on the stranger. This case | have
had made especially for carrying
them. Now, having seen how highly
! value these eggs, would you consider
an egg a substitute for a tip?"
you don't have to tip" replied the
manicurist, scornfully. "Ill be willing
to fix your hands for the regular
price,"
And what is that?"
He was told.
Fifty cents!" he echoed. why. I
should never think Of having my nails
done where they charge less than q
dollar. Good-day."
And he put on his coat and hat.
grabbed up the case and walked out,
leaving everybody wondering.

in the Manzanita lake regions, ten
miles from the main crater.
At 3 p. m. the main crater began

from both vents was small, however
in comparison with the huge plume

THREE BABES DIE
WHEN HOME BURNS
Parents Attend Church; Children
Perish When Lamp
Esplodes

Provo, March 81 Three children
we're burned to death in bed tonight
when fire destroyed the Riding home
ON Provo bench Two escaped in
their night clothes. The fire Is be-
lieved to have started from kero
sene lamp, Mr.. and Mrs. Christian
Riding we're at evening services In
the Grand View ward chapel when
their home burned. Shortly after
. o'c'ock they returned to where
there home had sbeen, there to be
confronted by the horror of desola-
ton that the flames had wrought.
The mother was almost insane
with grief and would have rushed
into the amoldering ruins had she
not been prevented. She and the
two children who had escaped from
the burning house were cared for
at the home of neighboring family
while the father watched with the
crowd until the ruins should cool so
that the bodies of the children could
be recovered. They were found In
the bed, charred beyond recognition.
The five children were put to bed
before the parents left to attend the
services in the ward chapel at Z
o'clock. The lamp was left burning
in the room where the three small
er children slept. Starting there.
the fire progressed to the room where
the two children slept. The heat
aroused them to their danger and
they rushed out, the building, of
frame construction, being already in
flames. The children burned were
Thursa, aged c; Lucy, aged 4, and
Alma, aged 2. DR.. A. J. Stewart
first of the neighbors to arrive at
the burning home, said that the chill
dren must have been saved from the
flames by asphyxiation The children
who escaped were Lister, aged 8,
and Videll, aged II.
DR.. Stewart became aware of the
fire at about 9 O'Clock, his children
calling his attention to 1t. He ran
to the Kidding home. only to find
that the flames had done their work.
The two older children were by the
roadside in front of the burning
home, crying and screaming for help.
Neighbors quickly collected and some
one telephoned to Fire Chief Joseph
w. Loveless of Provo. Nothing
could be done TO save either the lives
of the children or the house, howey-
err. If the fire had been discovered
earlier the saving of the house must
have been practically impossible, for
the reason that there Is no water
supply in the vicinity other than by
irrigation bitches. Chief Loveless
went to the scene of the tragedy in
an automobile only to find the house
& pile of glowing ruins surrounded by
a crowd of helpless neighbors.
