TO MAKE AIRSHIP INVISIBLE
Would Seem to Present Some
Difficulties.

The newest idea In the construction
OF aeroplanes. especially for use in
war time. is to render them as nearly
transparent as possible To this end
studies are now being made OF eel
luloids and other materials which
might possibly be utilized as wings,
and which would he sufficiently trans
parent to make them less conspicuous
in the sky than are materials now in
use.
While the primary object in making
aeroplanes transparent is to prevent
them from being seen by the enemy,
II would have an added advantage in
permitting the aviator to see In all
directions. and thus render his air
scout work more eff cient. Several
machines have been put into operation
within the last three months which
are equipped with transparent wings
OF uninflammab' G celluloid and are al
most invisible when few hundred
feet in the air.
A new muflling box has also been
devised which serves to still further
deaden the sound and thus enables
the operator to get close to the enemy
without his presence being detected
The substitution OF the specially pre-
pared celluloid for the canvas is ex-
pected to mark distinct advance in
aeroplane manufacture. although 1t is
as yet too recent development to
have established its reliability.

BRAZIL GETS A NEW BIBLE

tory. Maybe they all know English
now.
Aside from its moral values, the
Bible is particularly needed In Brazil,
1t is said, as an aid to preserving the
standard forms Of language. AS a
matter OF history, no book has exerted
an equal influence in lands where
English is read and spoken. The
phraseology of the King James yer.
sion is interviewer through modern lit.
erature. Its general use on this con.
tinent, where new conditions and a
strong tendency to slang would make
for rapid change has had steadying
effect on our vocabulary.
1t isn't likely that the classic beauty
Of the English Bible has been paral.
leled in Portuguese. But even q re.
spectacle rendering of book which
has proved its universal appeal in
every land will help in more ways
than one. Brazil is growing rapidly.
Every means should be used to pre-.
serve its moral and linguistic stand.

NOT HARMFUL TO THE BIRDS
Spraying Fluids Have No III Effect, ls
tho Assertion Made by Eminent

Spraying fluids used on orchard
trees do not kill the birds as well
as the bugs. Prof H. A. Surface. state
zoologist OF Pennsylvania, recently de-
clared In an effort to upset theory
encouraged in some important circles.
This authoritative statement from
Professor Surface ought to be regard
ed as conclusive and set at rest the
doubts OF many readers OF this page.
Il have watched this subject with
the greatest care in thousands OF
sprayed orchards in Pennsylvania.
the noted zoologist said. and am
prepared to say with certainty that
| never have known OF case OF a
bird being killed by spraying or hav-
ing been found dead under circum-
stances that justify the suspicion that
this was the cause of its death.
We have examined the stomach OF
dead birds and have found no evidence
of arsenic to which their death could
be attributed
Il live in the midst OF one OF the
largest orchards in Pennsylvania.
which has been sprayed frequently,
and 1t is full of birds nests. | am
sure that If spraying were destructive
to birds they would not be nesting in
this orchard.
1t is well known that the amount
of arsenic necessary to kill an insect
will not affect or kin a bird, and also
the birds will not eat dead insects. 1t
would be necessary for the bird to eat
great many beetles to take enough
poison to affect 1t in the least"
