Five membe of the city council vester-

first place visited by the council was the
pumping plant OF the Brownsville Sewerage
company.
At last Monday meeting complaint was
made BY residents Of that portion of the
city that odors which were almost unbear-

Aerial DreadnaUuhrs

When Mr.. Tenant spoke in thet
house Of commons recently on theg
large aeroplanes used by Russia, he
was abiding to what is known as the
Sikorsky, biplane, the dreadnaught Of
flying machines. This biplane is the
largest heavier-than-air machine yeti
invented, and can carry at least twice.
the load of any known aeroplane. The.
dead weight of the machine is no less
>han three and half tons, and it can
carry load of over ton.
Nearly half ton of fuel and oil is
carried, and when on war recon-
Nuisance could carry a quarter Cl a.
ton Of explosives, consisting perhaps
of half a dozen giant bombs, each
weighing 10 pounds, as compared with
the one or two which aeroplanes now
carry, or ten or a dozen 20-pound
bombs. Although compared with a
Zeppelin the Sikorsky biplane only
carries about a quarter the amount of
explosives, and has much shorterl
range, it has the very great adVan-
tage of being much cheaper, easier
to build, less at the mercy Of the
elements, and a smaller target. It
was stated in 1914 that the Russian
government had ordered five Of these
big biplanes.-London Times.

what some of these women were like,
who came to see Hall Bonistellel She
had already appraised Carolyn-not
pretty, consequently not dangerous;
still it would do no harm to watch her.
So F7odie left them, but saw to it that
the stockroom door was not quite
closed.
The situation was tense; it held po-
tential conflict. Flodie, listening from
the stockroom, waited eagerly for the
first shot There was, however, lit
tie preliminary skirmishing necessary;
neither of the two foes had yet recog-
nized the presence Of rival.
Rosamund, with beauty's contempt
for mere brains, had returned to her
inspection of the photographs, when a
careless gesture sent some dozens of
the prints slipping, sliding, falling to
the floor. With an expression Of an
noyance she stopped to pick them up.
Carolyn watched her. When two or
three handfuls had been returned to
the table, and Rosamund, listless and
restless, had taken new pose, one
picture remained at her feet. Carolyn
good-naturedIy walked over and picked
it up, then looked at it, smiling. Rosa
mund became intrigued at once.
Wonder who it is. D'you know?"
Mrs. RoyaIton. A friend of Mr..
Bonistelle." Carolyn's lip had the
slightest curl, in her eyes was a subtle
CLEAN.
oh" Rosamund gave it another
look, and added petulantIy: mfr. Boni-
STEELE seems to have a good many
friends!"
Carolyn was frankly amused;
enough to say, ooh, yes; in fact, I'm
one, myself" She gave sharp
woman-to-woman glance at Rosamund.
"Indeed?' Rosamund's little smile
was acid. She drew herself up. well,
then, when it comes down to it, so am
I" The two womens eyes flashed
like crossed rapiers.
Eve certainly ought to be friends,
then" said Carolyn, Struggling her
shoulders. There was but the faintest
trace Of mirth in hsE tone, not enough
for Rosamund to register; but the hos
tility underneath Rosamund per-
ceived, oh, easily enough.
Perhaps you think" Carolyn went
on, smiling, as Rosamund was silent,
that that's a good reason for our not
being friends"
This was in the modern mode; but
frankness was not at all the game that
Rosamund played best; wherefore she

fastened to protest, ooh, no, indeed!
Why should you think that?"
Carolyn laughed; she was now thor
oughly enjoying herself. well, then,
I'm Carolyn DaIlys," she volunteered.
Il think you must be Miss Gale, aren't
you? I've seen Halls pictures of you,
you know" Something suspicious in
Rosamund's face impelIed her to add
mischievously, And he's often spoken
to me about you"
Rosamund showed her irritation at
the patronizing air of familiarity only
by the slightest flush. Indeed" she
said, its queer he hasn't told me
about you"
ooh, there's very little to tell" That
was what Carolyn's lips said, but her
whole face told a different story. In
the woman's language of smiles she
was an adept and Carolyn's smile was
cruel
1t was now evident that, unless Rosa
mund could distinguish herself from
the vast horde of Hall Bonistelle's fe-
male friends. she would expire of
shame. Carolyn, without knowing ex-
actly what caused the girl to suffer,
was rejoicing in her lack of ease. She
watched ROsamund grope for an eff
fectual reply. At last it came with
a proud toss of the blonde head and a
flash of the golden brown eyes.
ooh, I see," she said. q didn't
know by the way you spoke first, but
perhaps you know him pretty well.
OF course Hall and I are quite good

Carolyn gave her a keen look. but
did not show that she was particularly
affected. Really? Why, l rather IN

else"
ooh, no." said Rosamund placidly.
"Of course, you understand, have a
right to know, you know"
why, no. Miss Gale, don't know
that I do know, you know" She drew
her chair up to Rosamund and sat
down deliberately Would you mind
telling me what particular right you
have?" Carolyn, at last, had dropped
her banter This was straight from
the shoulder
oh, 1 can hardly go into that" Rosa
mund said softly, satisfied by her vic
tory.

PRESERVED In GLACIER
GRASsHOPPERS ENToMBEp IN
MOUNTAINS OF MONTANA.
Story Which Haa Long Been consI9-
cred to Be Myth Found Correct,
and Explanation Is Made by
Scientists.

Grasshoppers on ice, in ice and OF
ice is the phenomenon to be found IN
GTasshopper glacier, once considered
a myth, but the existence of which as
one of the wonders of the West has p
been confirmed by biologists, naturall
forest officials and prospectors who
have reached the upper headwaters of
the East and West Rosebud rivers in
the Beartooth mountains of Montana.
Investigation has shown that the
myth of Grasshopper glacier Is a
fact. The grasshoppers, myriads of
them, are frozen in a solid mass of ice.
Many Of the specimens are as perfect
as if preserved in alcohol for exhibit
ton.
In the opinion of scientists who re-

in periodic southwark fight and sue
cumbed to the cold in their attempt
to cross the mountain range. The
huge ice mass, under whose crust the
grasshoppers are buried, Is virtually
under the shadow of Granite peak.
1882 feet high, the highest in Mon
tana.
Only recently has its existence as 8
perpetual glacier been verified, though
as long as 40 years ago 1t was tradi-
tionally known in early Montana min
ing camps and mountain towns. 1t
was considered then merely a fanciful
tale of pioneer prospectors and fur
trappers who had penetrated to the
upper reaches of this branch of the
rugged Rockies.
}. c. Witham, deputy supervisor of
the Beartooth national forest, one of
the few men who have seen the Grass
hopper glacier, brought back to civil
lization a small vial containing the
nearly perfect remains of several
grasshoppers found embalmed in the
ice. These were forwarded to the
Smithsonian institution, Washington,
but unfortunately were badly broken
in transit.
The GRANTEES of Caribou county af-
ford perhaps the most picturesque al
pine scenery to be found In accessible
parts of the United States. The Grass
hopper glacier, which is one OF a num-
Der discovered by the James p. Kim,
ball survey, is thus described by Doc
tor Kimball:
From observations made during the
survey it was determined that grass
hoppers brought to life on the prairie,
when in periodic southerly flight in a
direction toward the mountains, arei
compelled by successive stages to rise
and surmount the massive barrier Of
the mountain range. On the SUBMITS
they are combated by head winds and
frequent violent high mountain air
currents, the occasional terrific force
of which to be thoroughly appreciated
mus, be encountered on the SUBMITS
of the range
Such portions of the grasshopper
flights as are so unfortunate as to be-
compelled to settle on the glaciers In
order to seek shelter from the oppos-t
ing insurmountable winds becomet
chilled by contact with the snow andl
ice surface of the glacier and aret
overcome, remaining unable to risel
for newly attempted flight The gla-t
cier then becomes their sepulcher."
