Tom went west when he was a boy,

Beehive Bombs.

A French genius has recently OF.
fered an idea which he Is confident
will be more effective against the en-
envy than bombs dropped by an avia-
tor. Instead Of arming our aviators
with bombs, which are seldom eff.
fective. we should do better with
beehives," says this patriot. Let
each aviator carry one or two. hives
and launch them on the foe below.
At the rate Of 10000 bees to the hive,
one may count that about 1000 will
be killed or stunned by the fall; but
the other $4,000 launched by a skill
full hand on the enemy will cover them
In an instant with innumerable stings
and put every combatant out Of the
fight for several days. Then our men
would have nothing to do but to end
them or capture them" Commenting
on this proposal. which evidently is
made in all seriousness. a witty
Frenchman says: "The inventor does
not say what would happen II a mis-
directed hive should fall In a French
trench. II the bees were loyal they
would make the salute military and
buzz the Marseillaise.'

SOLDIERS MISS THEIR BATH
English "TommIes" and Their Officers
Alike Pine for the Accustomed

Few OF the discomforts OF campaign
ing press more hardly on the expedi-
tionary force than the simple lack Of a
bath. In the opinion of London Coun-
try Life. At the front 1t is inevitable,
but no less a hardship. especially to
the British officer. with whom the
daily tub is almost religion. We
ought to remember, however, that in
the huge temporary camps at home
where the new armies are being
trained the same discomfort reigns. be-
cause there is no time to create insti-
tutes where the comfort Of the bath
may be enjoyed. In some cases people
who live near the camps are putting
notices at their gates which invite to
the hospitality of their bathrooms Off
GERS or men who come armed with
soap and towel. This is more than q
kindly thought; it is definite aid to
the health and fitness of the troops.

Horse Stands over His Dead Rider.

J. Sutton, English lance corporal,
tells this story:
"One man Of the tn lancers !
found lying on his back with his eyes
staring at the skies. He was dead
without doubt. Standing over him
was his horse, without wound. 1t
was looking into his face every few
minutes, and then neighing in pitt

man being In an excess Of grief. To
hear that poor animal was enough to
bring tears to the eyes Of the most
hardened of men,"
Here is another incident related by
an English soldier:

awful vailly bridge at the rear Of his
regiment. The noise of shell IRE was
90 great that we could not hear each
other. He stopped, pulled out his re-
