WHAT
Chautauqua Means, Its Origin
and Purposes
AS Explained by DIR. EastOn, N Oted
Chautauqua OratOr-LOcal
Meet Opens Tomorrow.

The Chautauqua has been misunder-
stood. Some thought it consisted Of a
nomadic tribe of transformers going
about the country. 1t sounded so much
like chow chow that many thought it was
some new kind Of soup. But the Chau-
tauqua is a real live institution, more ex-
citing than a dog fight, more interesting
than a street fair, but less noisy than a
Bull Moose convention.
Bishop Vincent still calls il the univer-
sity of the people. It makes folks com
panionable. II gives millions a new
touch. It's chief work is to instruct and
inspire. 1t is the parnt Of the great pro-
gressive movement in politics in this
country. 1t makes for temperance and
civic betterment It puts equipment into
life It makes men leaders. Why are
Teddy and Billy and Bobby the leaders
of the three great political parties today?
Because they are versed in government
and sociology and are fitted for leader
ship.
Never allow your education to stop.
Never permit your development to be ar
rested. A ton Of iron varies in price
from the ore to watch springs where the
metal is worth 1Oh millions of dollars a
ton 1t is the same iron, plus brains.
The trouble is there is too much ore, too
many horse shoes, carpet tacks. knife
blades, &c. And some lose the non in
the pig iron and are just plain pis.
a hundred years ago no horse had yet
Travelled a mile in two minutes. Within
the last zoe years, $50 horses have trag-
eled n mile in less than tw ominutes and
ten seconds, a decrease in time of seven
seconds for eac degeneration OF horses,
which is about II years. If they keep
on at that rare, in $50 years a horse will
go mile in no time.
The Chautaqua says: Look up. Hope.
Have optimism, Put God aloft."
If some people We're to get an idea in
their head it would make them sick at
the stomach
A politician is like an angle worm-he
can go two ways at once.
In the home the girl spells he name
May" in high school and college she
spells it Mae" after college she spells
it MA"
In moral universe you can't get some-
thing for nothing. Redemption cost the
price of the Son of God. So salvation
means personal sacrifice. Everybody can
be saved if he gives himself.
Beautiful birds have no song. Beau
tiful flowers have no scent, and beauti-
full peopl have no sense.
The only people in the universe who
get something for nothing are the robber,
the gambler and the bed bug. moral
universe has no place for a parasite.
Some say there must be a rake in
the Chautauqua business. They ought
to have to go on the list Of guarantors
and help make up the deficit. Others
complain that it takes so much money out
of town. 1t never takes any of their
money. Do you know that 80 cents of
every dollar you spend at the stores goes
out of town? A circus takes $4,000 out
of town and the fellow who won't go
to the Chautauqua for that reason will
sci lhis shirt for so cents to go to the
circus. Whenever you buy an automobile
or two Fords you send enough money
outN of town to pay for whole week of
Chautauqua.

SIGNALS FROM AIR CRAFT.
Boot Clouds, Mirror Flashes and Torch
Bombs Are Used.

eoot Clouds, Mirror Flashes and Torch
Bombs Are Used.
To an army commander the value Of
a military aeroplane Is Its power to 10
cate hostile artillery and direct gunfre
rather than its bomb dropping posi-
bilities. Thus it is very necessary that
g pilot several thousand feet in the air
should be able to communicate with
the headquarters staff on earth so that
he may convey the necessary informa7
ton for the guidance Of gunners hurl-
ing shells at targets miles ahead which
they cannot see
A very ingenious method Of signal
ing from an aeroplane is by means OF
SCOT clouds. An apparatus filled with
lampblack rests near the hand Of the
aviator, and when he presses lever
some Of this SCOT passes down pipe
and Is discharged in black cloud. The
pipe Is so delicately arranged that the
clouds may be small or large. The
operator can spell out the Morse tele-
graphic code in little clouds, and they
can be read from the earth when the
aviator is 1000 feet high.
Another clever means Of signaling
from cir craft is that carried out by
means of lamps and mirrors. 4 lamp
which has a flash of 10000 candle pow
er sends piercing rays Of light through
a tube fitted with powerful magnifying
glasses. When q message is sent the
operator directs his flasher IN the re-
quired direction. presses button. and
q brilliant light flashes out. long or
short, according to the pressure. The
officers on earth receive the message
and may send a reSly in the same way,
being provided With similar mirrors
and lamps. The rays Of light sent out
are almost as bright as sunlight, SO
that they can be seen with the naked
eye for distance Of four miles in the
daytime and at night for distance Of
eight miles.
When military aviators wish to drop
a written communication to the earth
without descending they utilize an in
genious bomb. This contains the docu-
ment, and the projectile is weighted
80 that it falls sharp end first. AS the
end strikes the ground trigger is re-
leased. which sets fire to torch on
top. and thus the location Of the bomb
ts indicated day or night.-Pearscn's

Express Car Messenger.
The messenger was alone in the e1-
press car. and the train was making
fast time about 200 miles outside OF
San Francisco. At the last stop the
messenger had been very sorry to
see an ordinary rough box loaded from
the truck. The experience was COM
mon enough. but It always depressed
him little.
Having set things to rights. he sat
down near his little writing desk and
dropped into a doze. A sudden lurch

thought flashed through his mind in

those gentry was in the box.
AS he got up from his chair be was
relieved to see the lid quietly drop into
its place. However. he knew that the
bandit was no doubt watching his
every movement from hole bored tn
the side Of the box and that what he
did he must do cautiously.

From the next station coach and
engine with posse armed to the teeth
went back to the relief Of the stalled
train, from which the bandits had long

under heavy police guard, proceeded
, to San Francisco. The bandit was un-

looking customer he proved to be. He
