OBJECTS TO PUBLIC DINNERS

Why do men give dinners to othel
men? And why do still other men en-
courage those dinners by their pres
ence?
You cannot be sure of any mans
success until he dies" is an old say
ing. II it is necessary, therefore, te
give q man q dinner in order to cele
brate something that he 10 supposed
to have done why not issue invitations
on the morning after his funeral? The
man himself, If he be a decent man
would undoubtedly prefer to be guest
at any dinner under these circum
stances-when he cannot hear what IL
said about him.
You cannot get acquainted with any
one at public dinner even if yor
should desire to do SO. The purpose al
every public dinner IL to avoid any
thing sensible and to clog the system
with nicotine, alcohol and indigestible
food, not to mention bromides.
The American people are dinner
mad. In view of their obsession, theil
passion for giving dinners, why moi
reverse the process and give one tt
every man who makes q failure? This
would increase the number Of dinners
and would add materially to the gen

GREAT AIR CRAFT ALTITUDE
Eighteen Miles, Above actual
Ground Level.

According to the geographical in
stitute at Pavia, Italy, the highest al
titude so far reached by any balloon
was 10000 feet, or slightly over Is
miles above sea level; and 104,0S2
feet above actual ground, says the st
Louis Post-Dispatch. The balloon was
Of rubber and was filed with hydro
gen gas.
The actual distance traversed meas.
ured 116,064 feet. At height Of So.
1876 feet the temperature fell to minus
43 degrees and maintained that figure
all the balance Of the way up with
only slight variation.
The aviator Giaccomo Piccolo, was
compelled to utilize his oxygen in.
halator after he reached the height OF
two miles, and reached ground In .
collapsed condition nevertheless.
Prof. Pericles Gambia, in the An
nall di Ufficio, states that the benefits
to science from that ascent were in
calculable, as it proved mainly two
things: That the assumption Of 10
mile atmosphere above the ground IL
erroneous, and that the theory OF
ether outside Of that limit is not ad
missible, eff 1t does not altogether dc
away with the ether theory at any
height" The word either" has been
formed to express the medium fol
light beyond the assumed atmosphere
This ascent establishes beyond per
adventure that the medium is uniform
after the height of about $4,000 feet
was reached. IF the atmospheric
consistency remains the same $4,000
feet after that altitude, the assump
ton that it will remain the same far
Their up reaches the dignity of q pre-
sumption"
The Annali suggests that the data
furnished by this ascent must, imper
atively, be substantiated by further
ascents before definite conclusions
should be drawn from this one alone

full little incident which has hitherto

The incident happened at the time
when submarines were unpleasantly
active in the middle seas.
A trim little craft lay in the grasp OF
an Austrian submarine and, after q
game effort to show her heels to the
submarine, the ships papers had been
seized and the crew had taken to the
boats. The submarine stood grimly
by with guns trained and the final
scene was about to be enacted.
Before the commander of the U-boat
gave the fatal order, however, it was
noticed that one of the ships boats
had pulled back to the vessel and that
a grimy figure in blue overalls was
clambering back over the side.
Even Austrian submarine comman
ders are curious, and he held back the
order to fire, to await developments
A full minute passed and, wearying OF
the delay, the submarine chief mo

he clutched nut-brown clay pipe.

READING FOR THE SOLDIERS
Germany Sending Motor Trucks With
Books to Men on the Fighting
Front.

Books for soldiers" has become the
slogan of great part of the stay-at
home population of Germany, and the
popularity of the "Bildungskanone'
educational cannon, as the field cir
culating libraries are called by the
men in gray, seems almost to rival that
of the famous "Gulaschkanone," which
supply the hot meals that keep the
kaiser's fighters in condition.
The task Of distributing the books
has been taken over by special com
mittee, headed by Undersecretary
Come, which has begun to send on,
the libraries on wheels, and which
hopes to have 100 of them in service
within short time.
These "Bildungskanone," as de
scribed in the Berliner Tageblatt, con
sist of big motor trucks carrying from
1000 to 1900 volumes each, arranged
on shelves and looked after by IL
brarian. The first five of the field II
braries were sent to the eastern front
AS the roads in Poland and Serbia In
some cases do not admit of the use OF
the heavy lorries, arrangements have
been made for forwarding the books in
special chests.
1t is estimated that one motor Ii
brary will be sufficient for &c, 900 men.

Hotel Puts Ients on Roof.

High in the air on the broad roof
of the Hotel Lenox several tents have
been pitched for the benefit of guests
who wish TO sleep in the open, says
the Boston Post.
So far as is known, this is the first
time that a Boston hotel has arranged
for sleeping accommodations on the
roof, the idea being to provide fresh
air right in the heart of the city.
Among the first to try out the plan
was Miss Ora Mcbride, widely known
among magazine illustrators, and Miss
Helen Walsh, stenographer. After
the fact became known that tents had
been erected on the roof, many of the
guests of the hotel flocked there, &C.
companied by moving picture men,
newspaper photographers and report
ers.
The tents are what are known as
"arctics." They are heavy and wind.

iron cots, made up" with either

KEEPING THE TRENCHES DRY
Water Continually Pumped From Po-
sitions Which the French Are
Occupying.

The French made their trenches as
comfortable as possible for the benefit
of the troops during the winter months.
Many of the trenches are paved and
the water was kept out Of them by
means Of powerful pumps. There are
drain pits which have been sunk along
the whole length inside the trenches,
and the pumps are used to force the
water from these pits to the outside.
The walls of the trenches are
strengthened with hurdles to prevent
landslides. The bottom of the trenches
are carefully beaten down, leveled and
covered with plank or straw, and the
earthen roofs are made stronger by
sheets of zinc. The heating, which Is
adequate, is furnished by charcoal bra
ziers. Farther back from the trenches,
along the second line, are erected lit
tie wooden huts, built with double
walls to keep out the cold, with slate
roofs, and in most cases with flowers
raised above the level of the ground.
The beds consist of wire netting
stretched over wooden frames, with a
covering of straw packing and a sup
ply of warm blankets.
In the huts stoves are furnished.
Fuel is very plentiful and easily OBJ
tanned because the shells Of the enemy
have scattered huge branches from the
trees and splintered them ready for
burning. The soldiers are given two
good meals day, and in the case Of
the men who are most exposed there
is an extra ration of meat. Hot drinks
are furnished, such as tea and coffee
with fixed measure of alcohol when
the temperature requires it.
