1t is real pleasure to be able to

THROWS IT'S LIGHT AFFAIR
searchIlsht Placed on CoIlapsible
Tcwer Worked by Man 100
Yards Away.

The searchlights now used at the
front are not only extremely powerful
but they are mounted on swift motor
cars, so that they can be moved to
any desired point at night as quick
ly as possible, Pearson's Weekly says
These searchlights, too. are mount
ed on portable collapsible towers
which can be run up a height of 80
feet or so very quickly. The light is,
as rule, worked by an observer who
is at least hundred yards away from
II, so that he is pretty safe from be-
ing hit by the rain of shells which
are always turned on to these lights
by the enemy
The towers are run up by means
Of compressed air carried in cylin-
ders on motor cars, which also carry
the electrical apparatus for working
the light. All the movements, v-~'''
cal as well as horizontal, are control.L-
by a long cable.
These searchlights, which are
much more powerful than those used
in any other war, will pick up Yep
pelin, no matter what height 1t has
risen to. They carry, indeed, to a
distance Of six miles, though for
| picking out soldiers the nearer the
better, not only because they show
them up more clearly. but because the
| light dazzles the eyes and throws the
| men into confusion.

LANDS BASS WITH SAFETY PIN
Soy Brings in Three Three-Pounders
With Which to Prove
His Story.

Little Arne Olson, eowherd in Itas-
ca park, who catches big black bass
with such seemingly impossible de-
vice as the much.maligned safety pin,
may have revealed a mechanical prin-
ciple that will revolutionize the gen.
tie art of angling. Arne does catch
bass with safety pins. This fact is
vouched for by William T. Cox, state
forester, who heard the tale direct
from the forest service men in Itasca
park, an exchange states.
One evening AFne brought home
three fine bass weighing in the neigh
borhood of three pounds each. To the
repeated demands to explain how he
had made the capture he said that
he had caught them with safety pin.
Everybody laughed.
He explained that when he clam.
bered out over the lake on a fallen
tree his sporting blood was fred by
ing in the shade. He had a piece of
fishing line in his pocket. but no hooks
or bait. Then there came an inspira-
ton.
Plucking a safety pin from his
trousers, he fastened it to the line.
The tail of crawfish made pre-
sentable bait.
Three times he heaved the impro
vised lure into the semidackness OF
the pool and three times he brought
out a bass. Not one got away.
Arne is quite sure that the tricky
pin snapped itself shut when a bass
struck, but each one was securely
hooked, and all the fisherfolk can &C
count for the lads success in no 9th
| er way

Unusual "Woodenr Legs.

In consequence of the war, the arti-
fetal limb manufacturers in France
are finding themselves hard pressed at
the present time to keep supplied with
the requisites OF their business, since
all the hospitals are making such de,
mands on the supply. Artificial legs,
for instance, are made in some in
stances of a sort of compressed card
board And the raw material for this
is now being obtained from-the Bank
of France! All the old notes are
periodically destroyed and converted
into a pulp, which is then disposed OF
to the "orthopedistes. And so the gal
liant pioupiou's wooden" leg will rep
resent a fortune!

Expert Oplnion.

The late Henry Beach Needham.
the flying expert who was killed with
Lieutenant Warneford in France, was
often consulted by aeroplane invent
ors.
An inventor from Seattle submitted
a triplane model to the young expert
last spring. Mr.. Needham studied
the model attentively for an hour.
Then he laughed and said:
I'D advise you, my friend, to try
your hand now at inventing a subma-
rine for one of the belligerents."
YES said the inventor, puzzled.
EYES," said Mr.. Needham, for
judging from this aeroplane model,

Joffre and Napoleon.

A saying OF General Joffre's which
has never been given the publicity II
deserves comes from a correspondent
who vouches for its accuracy. II IL
lustrates charmingly the modesty of
the man who, II is claimed. saved
France. The general was explaining
to favored American visitor the po-
sition OF the French army intrench-
ments on the plain beneath the hill
where they stood, and he traced the
course of the German lines beyond.
ITS a big job" said the visitor.
But guess even Napoleon, If he had
had all your troops to fight with here,
would have had to dig himself in jurt
the same"

his chin. 'Napoleon No, think Ma
poleon would have thought OF some.

What We
KnOw|About /

'In what way" asks the Houston
Post, "can the Republicans attack
the Democratic tariff? What do they
know about its virtues or defects?"
This is no troublesome connundrum
Il Is ridiculously easy. Republicans
can attack the Democratic tariff by
telling the truth about 1t. And ms
for what they know about its defects
Il would take an entire issue OF this
paper to summarize it.
For instance. We know that in the
first eight months that the Demo
cratic tariff was in operation our i'm
ports increased $114.000,Ooo and our
customs revenues decreased $50,
100000.
We know that our imports OF raw
materials for manufacturing increas
ed $4,000, 900 and that even vita the
war our imports in these lines are
s33,O0O,000 more than they were un
der Republican tariff.
we hHO" tlld' ouT lihb''' Nh' -
foodstuffs jumped up $SS,Ooo,oOO that
practically all of it came in free Of
duty, and that-even during the wal
the increase was maintained.
We know that in the first eigh
months of the Democratic tariff, ou'
exports fell off 1904 100000 and thai
our farmers had to see shrinkag'
in their foreign sales of S57,oOo'ooo
We Republicans know a lot abou
the defects of the Democratic tarii
and before the next session of Con
gress Is over and before the mex
campaign is over, the Houston POS
will be given the benefit of on
knowledge.
