For November.

Both in picture and story the No

offers many unusual features. II is
interesting to note the many new and
Ingenious devices constantly being
called fourth by the European war or
by the widespread demand for mill
tary preparedness. A number of
these are described in the November
magazine. Easily first in popular in
terest are the British tank cars, !"
adaptation of American caterpillar and
alligator tractors. In Tank Cars
Smash German Lines" John Arson
Ford writes of this new war engine,
which is credited with many remark
able feats. Several fine illustrations
accompany the article. A double
decked motorcycle ambulance which
carries two stretchers; a gyroscopical-
ly stabilized telescope intended as an
aid in making aerial observations; a
device which adds to rifles magazine
capacity; new army gun mounted on
railway car; the United States Army'S
new hospital train, and a new tpye of
kite balloon are also described.

CULTIVATE "BRoWN STUDY

If the ''brown study" were more
often cultivated many people would
be happier, and more clear thinking
would be done, says the London
Lancet. 1t is in such a state that
truths dawn suddenly and clearly
upon the unclouded intelligence. II
is in such a state that mighty &C.
tons are conceived, poems born al
a stroke, and mankind enlightened
through the enlightenment of the
individual.
In this state of mind there is such
concentration of mental energy
that the body is ignored. The mind
on the other hand, is so working
upon the subject which concerns it
is so intent upon its own affairs, thai
the external world is obliterated.
