and what means have been employed to
make practical use of this awakened
kindness toward wild life. The au-
thor first makes it plain that the birds
need protection from the weather from
disease and from their enemies. He
takes into account also the economic
value of the birds and points out their
esthetic and moral value as well. The
larger part of this book goes into the
ways and means by which the wild
birds of a neighborhood may be led into
easy and friendly relations with the
house jewellers around them There
are specific directions for the making
of various kinds of birdhouses, for pre-
pairing food. for setting up public bird
baths and drinking pools. One of the
most interesting chapters here gives a
description of the bird sanctuary at
Merden. N. H., where the bird move
ment may be said to have taken it's
start There are directions for the
formation of bird clubs and every sort
of ingenious device to spread the move
ment in behalf of the wild birds. Fifty

authors hope is to solve the problem of

You will find it a refreshment to lay
aside the war records for an hour or so
in order to read what has already been
done. and what YOU also may do, by
way of active friendship toward the

how interest in this matter has spread.

THE SALE OF

that the manufacture of absinthe was
forbidden, but the prohibition of the
sale of the liquor automatically closed
the distilleries. Although the prohibit
ton was war measure, a strong SEN
timent throughout France had devel-
oped before the war came on against
the use of absinthe and there seems to
be little doubt but that the prohibition
peace returns absinthe will remain in
exile.
In Germany the local authorities were
empowered to prohibit or restrict the
sale of spirits and production of spirits
was also restricted There was a two
fold purpose in this measure, and per-
haps the more important reason for
the action of the government was that
grain and potatoes would perhaps be
urgently needed for food. Very little
news concerning economic conditions
in Germany reaches the outer world,
but reports have come out that restric-
tons on the brewing of. malt liquors
was ordered in the interest OF the con-
servation of grain: The Austro-Hun-
garian government has placed restric-
3 am. and pm. with complete closing
of places of sale on Sundays and holt
days.
The British foreign office in it's re-
port says that in Bulgaria. Greece. Hol-
land, Italy, Montenegro, Portugal, Ru-
steps have been taken in the direction
of restricting consumption of liquor.
In Denmark the sale of intoXlcants to
soldiers has been prohibited in certain
police districts. and in Sweden a bill
has been passed giving the govern
ment and the provincial boards extend
ed powers to prohibit the sale of in
toxicat ting liquors and to impose other
temporary restrictions in times of dis
.tress and danger of war. In Norway
the sale of spirits has been limited to
four days a week.
The prohibition of the sale of vodka.
or native brandy, in Russia, which was
purely war measure, has according
to all credible reports greatly influence
ed for the better the health. morals and
discipline of the Russian armies, and
the moral and economic conditions of
the Russian civilian masses, especially
the peasantry.
Switzerland. though a neutral coun-
try, has suspended the sale of spirit
uous liquors, but no interference has
been made in the sale OF wine and malt
drinks.

IN ROHIBITION of the sale of strong
~ liquors or the regulation of the
liquor trade and the suppression
of drunkenness in Russia. Great Brit
ain and France were questions of
worldwide public interest soon after
the outbreak Of the war. These re-
strictive measures, which were insti-
tuted less on moral grounds than to
promote physical efficiency and relia-
bility in the men, were looked on with
thanksgiving throughout the United
States by those millions of Americans
interested in the spread Of temperance
ideas.
AS news came from country after
country of the adoption of measures
cutting off or curtailing the serving of
fiery waters, some degree of exaggera-
ton crept into the reports ana INTO tne
popular interpretations of the reports:
The question of the manufacture ana
sale of liquor, settled to the. sat1sfac-
ton Of the governments OF some couh-
tries and left unsettled in others. was
eclipsed by grave questions coming up
later. such as the supply of munitions
and the like In this way, while the
efficiency movement in Eu-
rome has. of course, not lost its interest
to very large number or the people
of the United States, the edge or pubic
interest has been dulled, and most per-
sons may have forgotten just what pro
hibitiye or regulative measures have
heen taken by the various governments
in Europe.
Not many days ago the British for
eign office published q, summary OF re
ports received from the diplomatic
agents of that country as to the meas
ures taken in Europe since the out
break of war for the restriction OF the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. By parlia-
mant the British government has been
authorized to regulate the sale OF
liquors in those areas where their ex-
cessive use interferes with the manu-
facture of shell and other war material
but without power to limit the pro-
auction of spirits or beer. 1t does not
anpear that the British government
has deemed it necessary in any of the
munition making centers to exercise
the power conferred in this particular
matter by parliament

Early Dirigibles.

NNy HiLE the military efficiency OF
wv rbe dirigible is subject of con-
,royarsy among men interested in mar
+;., things there is smaller con-
troyersy in progress as to the author
shin or fatherhood of the device. The
search for the beginning of the diriSi-
HE balloon makes it appear that ell
forts were made many years ago TO
produce a balloon that would be pro-
PEELED by it's own power, and that the
names of several men who long ago
passed away were associated with the
enterprise. The idea was an old one.
but great difficulties lay in the way or
its practical expression until the m
ternal combustion, or petrol. engine
came into being. The same engine
which made the automobile and flying
machine practicable also made the
dirigible possible.
The name of Count Zeppelin has
come to be identified with the dirigible
balloon, and an English writer recently
said: People in these days often get a
good deal of credit for much that they
have never done, and Count Zeppelins
claims as the inventor of the great
airship which bears his name have been
challenged Two dirigible balloons
were invented as long ago as 1850
one by H. A. Bell, an Englishman. and
the other by Frenchman named
Petin."
In the Bell airship the bag was egg
shaped, with the larger diameter hori-
zontal. That was new idea In bal
loon shape and perhaps was the genesis
of the often so-called cigar-shaped
balloon which was the parent OF the
long cylindrical gas bag with ogival
ends which is the distinguishing fea-
ture of the Zeppelins. Bell had no con-
ception of an internal combustion en-
power with a minimum of weight, SO
in a boat-shaped car swinging below
the gas bag he moufted two pro-
pelIerS which he turned by hand.
On the trial of this airship in 1850
1T was released from Vauxhall gardens
in the presence of an expectant crowd.
Assisted by the wind Bell was able to
turn it around, but could not bring the
ship back to the starting place. 1t is
said that other features which add to
the claim that the Bell airship was
the primitive Zeppelin were that Bells
ship had a metal frame as well as
metal rudder which took the form of a
birds tail.
At about this time NJ. Petin. a
Frenchman who enjoyed reputation
as an aeronaut, was experimenting
with a cpntrolla BILE and directable bal
loon. While the Zeppelin system EN-
ploys a number of independent inclosed
gas bags, Petln sought 10 overcome the
weight problem by using four large
detached spherical balloons, one be-
hind the other and held together by
metal framework sixteen yards long
and about seventy yards broad An old
account of the Petin airship shows
that it was driven, or at least was to
be driven, by "handpower motor on
the same principle as Bells hand
turned propellers. The device was
failure, because not sufficient power
could be developed to force the large
gas bag surface against a contrary
current of air.
1t was the gasoline motor that
solved the problem of the dirigible, and
it is a reasonable assumption that had
such an engine been at the command
of these early aeronauts their airships
would have been measurably success
