America changed into lawful cur
rency in Richmond-capital Of the
late Confedracy. 1t seems that
Confederate money is still current

An aggrieved and detected restau-
rant-keeper in the British metropolis
was standing outside the United
States Consulate yesterday after
aoon VIXEN it opened. There was a
reason for his mission as he had a
$40 Confederate bill in his possession
for which he declared he had served
Il big meal to a Canadian soldier and
given him $40 change. 1t was only
when his bank refused the Confede-
rate note that the restaurant man
was. aware he had been duped. He
obtained much sympathy at the Con-
sulate, and his knowledge of Ameri.
can history was broadened.

AERIAL
WARFARE.

One of the most amusing chapters
of Cervantes' "Don Quixote" is The
destruction of the Don's library. Tho
would-be knight elrant, it will he
remembered, had spent virtually al
he ever made on works of chivally,
most of which were on the order of
the Arabian Nights, telling of huge
luminous serpents sailing through
the heavens, leaving trains of FIRE in
their wake, and conflicts in air be-
tween rival knights.
When it was learned that tie Don
was accoutred to make reprisals on
such as were guilty of wrong-doins
toward the weak and that lie had
mounted Rozinante and rode away
in quest of adventures. the parish
prizes! became Interested in his case,
AMI the reverend father and a bar
Der entered his house to take an
inventory The priest and barber
examined the Don's library first. Af-
ter they had raised a widow, the
b:l Der read The titles Of the works
while The priest acted as Judge Of
their worth, and ordered many to be
thrown irto the back yard to re used
in making bonfire. A Few, how
ever, he ordered to be preserved. The
titles of the books, deemed precious by
the mad knight, were most cxtrava-
giant, nearly all being accounts of
men clothed in mail who captured
kingdoms and performed other
mighty works either on tern firma
o. III tn, beavers above. After the
barber had read the title of such
work, the priest is represented as
crying, "Out the windows with it,"
Modern warfare shows that much
dreamed of by the authors of the
books in Don Quixote's library il
being realized. Men are fighting on
land, on the seas, under the sea ard
thousands of feet in the air. The de-
struo ton between heaven ana! earth
of a Zeppelin by an airship yesterday
and the killing Of twenty-eigh' men
woaid have been regarded more Wis
iolnry in Celvantcs' time than some
of the stories in Don Quixote's lib
rary.
