BRITISH ARMY TO FIGHT GERMAN GAS
 BOMBS WITH FIRE
Sir Hiram Maxim Invents Incendiary Missiles For
 Combating Fumes.

London. Aug. 27-The British army plans to fight the German gas attacks with fire. This is the scheme recommended by a committee of in ventors headed by Sir Hiram Maxim, who has designed a simple appara- tus which the government is now testing.
 The object of the apparatus is to cause large and rapidly spreading fires by means of specially-designed Eincendiary bombs thrown in the path of the advancing gas at a, dis tance of several hundred yards. By this means; since the heating. of the air must cause an upward current, 1t is expected to drive the gas up out of harms way.
 Sir Hiram's explanation of the scheme is as follows:
 'sT1ae German gas at one atm os- pEere of pressure is two and a half times as heavy as air. In escaping into the air it very quickly becomes mixed with a large quantity of air, so that by the time it reaches olAr trenches it is. as a rule. less than 1 per cent heavier than the surround ing air: that is, it is extremely light as compared with the air, but it is quite strong enough to prove fatal Tn most cases we find the air that has only one-thou ousandth part of chlorine is the one that has done the most harm.
 s.It occurred to me some months ago thaat, if a fire could be produced between the gas and our trenches, the rapid upward movement of the air would take the chlorine along with it, and this is quite true. The bombs that I made were to be thrown by hand, but it was found that, in order to be thrown any dis tance, they had to be made quite small, and, moreover. they could not be thrown as far as the officers wish ed to throw them. I delivered 100 to the government for experimental purposes. A few of these have been tested, and it was found that the fire should be greater and farther away, so I have designed a very much sim pier and larger form. The firm in London who proposes to make them have designed a machine for throw ing them with great accuracy a dis tance of 300 yards, which will be quite enough. By this means fire of any size may be produced and if must be dissipated; it cannot be otherwise.
 9aThe first bombs T. designed i'm thought that the consumption would be so large that there might be a shortage. I have therefore been ex- perimenting, and am now in possess sion of a liquid that does just as well and only costs half as mneh, while the supply of it is unlimited.'' 2

War Bringing Back 5, Famed Wind hammers

Sydney, Australia, Aug. 27-one of the Extraordinary results of the war insofar as the Pacific is con scerned is the recrudesence of the s.windjammer'' or sailing vessel. The dearth of steamers and high freights are responsible to a large extent for this. At present there are either on the way to Sydney and Melbourne or about to sail a, fleet of 116 sailing ships ranging from the big 2,50O tooner to the shapely American schooner of 500 tons. Of the latter the four-raster pred ominates. The majority of the sailors engaged are of American registry. most of them com ing from the Pacific coast lumber ports. These are receiving freights up to $21.25 per 1000 cubic feet a state of affairs which it is said in Australian shipping circles is unpre- cedented.
 It is also understood here that apart from the marvellous impetus in the lumber carrying trade numer- ous large sailing vessels are landing at New York or are destined to load there for Australian ports.

GERMANY TESTING THE
 MONROE DOCTRINE

In July. 1914. Germany made 3 proposition for customs control iu Haiti. The note from the German embassy pointed ont that, even though the American government believes it is unadvisable to have interested Flu ropean powers participate in the con troI of Haitian customs, nevertheless the Imperial government must give heed to public opinion in Germany The German note went so far as to state that the simplest solution of the difnculty would be to include Ger many. and that Germany would not understand any other arrangement
 Alphabetically the State Department defined it's position in regard to this extra ordinary German document. In the most unequivoca1- terms it stated that it's policy was not subject to any variation; that neither foreign mer- cantile interests nor any other inter ests proceeding from outside of the American hemisphere could be so ex- tended as even or in part of the government, or administration of any independent American state-The worlds Work.

to see that these scholarship students are given the best opportunity to es- tablish themselves before the public. They will not be allowed to appear in a prof ssionaI recital before they are thoroughly competent. and have more or less experiences in this kind of work. The greatest drawback of most American artists have been their amateurish manner of doing things upon the professional stage. Should any of these students decide upon an operatic career during the time they are studying, much of their . training will be along those lines and if it is found they have talent for such work, they will be given an opportun- ity to study with the best of operatic coaches

MAYFLOWER MULTIPLICATION

What carpet of magic, what little copper box where
from issues dnn who has his head against the clouds
and darkens earth with his prodgious bulk is bionn
part marvellous the insides of the little red May
flower.
1t bore to "hese shores" the ancestors of most newly
rich Americans
Among the most curious problems of multiplication is
the innumerabe multitude sprung from the loins of the
humble little old Mayfower.
If memory serves right there but l02 passengers
on that Pilgrim Ark
Famine insufficient shelter hostile Indians and other
terrible vsstudes killed more than half of them the first
year For so years only the hardest survived
Now the wonder is that the progeny of these few
numbers so enormously, We never read of wedding
any more but the bride is decended from an old family
that came over in the MayAOwer" And usually the
bridegroom is of the ancient stock The union of
two old families, we say Ordinary folks are thus made
iustrous by the illusion Of time and the vanity of their
prosperous p0sterity
The total population of the United States appears to
he not over hundred millions; but descendents of the
Maytlower in this country certainly number into billions
The most peculiar thing about it all is that ever since
The war began the newspapers of this country have been
flooded with letters from people who assert that hey are
ot pure American descent and MayfIower ancestry"

A farmer down in Arizona traded huge tarantua
and pet king snake to barber for two skunk kittens
the other day The barber wanted the taranula for
friend back East but he thought his skunk kittens were
worth little more than the tarantua, so the farmer
threw in the pet snake and they seemed satisfied all
around This transaction is most important in that it
illustrates how trade can be carried on without red
cent in money Of the country if only there's an agreement
as to the articles in trade The folks used to get along
pretty well without money in the early days Of the land
Then they traded commodities and once year or 50
