pany to abandon the skip stop method
of operating cars in this and other
towns on the Bloomfield avenue lines.
The skip stop plan has been in effect
since April 10, when 1t was adopted at
the request Of Verona and other west
ern Essex municipalities and with tbs
assent Of the governing bodies Of the
municipalities through which the line
operates.
In its decision the board expressed
disappointment that In its ehdeavor to
solve the vexatious question there WAS
an utter lack of cooperation from the
various municipalities affected. This
board points out that 1t is obvious that
frequent stops slow up the operation
of cars, and where any number Of
stops can be eliminated the inevitable
result is that the cars can cover their
routes more quickly.

QUIT AIR BOMBS.
French Decide to Abandon Their
Use In War.
ARE REGARDED DANGEROUS.

Extreme susceptibility Of Explosive
Has outwsished Its Wonderful De-
tonatins Qualities - Tremendously
Successful Experiments Were Made
With Volatile Agent When IL Was
First Used.
Paris.-After a good deal OF expert
mentation the French army has given
up its attempts to use liquid air as a
high explosive In warfare. because Of
its extreme susceptibility to detonate
from shock.
Tremendously successful experiments
were made with this volatile agent at
flrst, but they were successful only I'M
der perfectly agreeable conditions. For
instance, bombs for bombarding aero
planes were made with liquid air as
the explosive which some judged to
be a hundred times more powerful
than bombs Of similar size employ
ing picric acid or any of its proto-
types. But 1t was soon learned that
the sudden descent or even rapid
swooping Of an aeroplane carrying
liquid air combs might set of the dan
gerous cargo. 1t happened on one &C.
casion. An aviator dipped suddenly,
and nothing was ever found of him or
his machine.
Then the bombs were carried over
deliberately prepared targets and drop
ped from captive balloons. The effect
of the explosion was marvellous. In
stead of reducing the target to match
wood and wreckage, the defamation
actually wiped out every vestige of the
place where the huge, cumbersome
target had been. 1t was estimated
that the conclusion Of the explosion
would have killed any living creature
within $50 yards.
Shell charged with liquid air can
not of course be fred from any pro-
jectile, the shock of firing would de-
tomato the explosive and wreck the
gun. Attempts have been made to
use liquid air grenades and liquid air
bombs In trench mortars. which are
fred by spring, much as catapult's
missile is projected. Gut the extreme
LONELINESS" Of the explosive has out
weighed its wonderful decorating
qualities. The Germans also have fail,
ed to utilize liquid air thus far

Steer Lived Six Weeks on Roots

Richmond, Ky.-Charles Benton lost
a steer, or at least thought he had.
Search failed to find the animal, and
he had given 1t up as gone when, six
weeks later, he passed a sinkhole on
the farm and saw the steer in 1t. 1t
had lived during the time on roots and
whatever else it could find. Mr.. Ben
ton says the steer weighed about 1000
pounds when 1t disappeared, and 1t
only weighed 600 when 1t was found.

Roy A. Dye, clerk in the office of Federal Mine Inspector Sumner s. Smith, has been officially appointed chief clerk for the Alaska mine expert mental station and will leave Juneau for it's location as soon as word comes from the department that the station is to be established. Advices have been received that Fairbanks has been designated as one place,
 "The material for the station will be purchased through competitive bids, and these bids positively must be advertised for some time," said Dye. The site for the Northwest station has not been designated yet by the secretary. If the material is not purchased in time to be sent to Fairbanks before the close of naviga- tion, the station cannot be established until next year, as it could not be taken over the trail"

LONDON CHEERS BANDSNEN OF

LONDON, Aug. 10. - Residents of the metropolis are coming to think more and more of the Canadians. Their popularity is immense, all classes being ready to cheer them on any occasion, their pleasant posi- tion being due to their prowess in the trenches and in the raiding lines at the front.
 The most recent opportunity of the Londoner to pay homage to those of the Dominion has just occurred in the parade of 300 selected bandsmen of the Canadian expeditionary force, The musicians, who were the soloists picked from 15,OOO bandsmen with the force. gave a promenade concert at the Royal Opera House, in aid of the Womens Tribute Week.
 Then, divided into three complete bands, they paraded the Strand, Pic cadilly, Pail Mall and into Trafalgar Square, receiving enthusiastic cheers from all sides.

VERDUN BATTLE DEVELOPS NEW
 TYPE SOLDIER

PARIS, Aug. 10. - The unexampled conditions of fighting before Verdun have developed new type of soldier called the courier of Verdun." They are the men who maintain cOmmuni cation between the troops in the midst of the melees and officers command ing from the rear. The battlefield into which they dart with orders or after information is a desolated zone where nothing but thick smoke, some times black, sometimes white, gives appearance of life; excepting during the brief time of an infantry attack, 1t is to all appearances deserted the sharpest eye discovers no movement of humanity. The earth is everywhere furrowed by freshly stirred earth, but no one sees the hand that stirred it.
 Occasionally a form is seen going over this desert land something after the manner of rabbit, bounding into sight out of the herbs and above un- even ground to disappear again; leaping from obstacle to obstacle, from ditch to ditch, from shell hole to shell hole as 1t approaches the front line, at times vaulting, at others crawling, and sometimes kept motionless for considerable periods by showers Of projectiles sent over from the other side of the iine for his personal bene- fit. This is the messenger of modern battle; he was never more needed nor more useful than at Verdun and the type will probably bear the name for years to come of "the courier of Verdun."
 | Not telephone line can resist the incessant bombardment that digs up the soil and levels all field work along the whole line in front of this fort ress; consequently to assure commu- nications between the front and the rear Is difficult problem. Commu- nications by carrier pigeons are very uncertain and optical signals are in sufficient for various reasons. Moth ing is certain excepting the man him self, and to transmit information and orders across that beaten field re- quires something extraordinary in the way of men. He must be an athlete with good lungs and, above all, he must have a stout heart.

may get through. Two of these men from the commanding post of bri- gade crossed the Fumin woods; they were almost at their goal when the shell of a German 3-incher struck one of them full in the chest. His com rade stopped and searched the body for the message, but found nothing; the shell had carried away the pocket and the paper that was in it. He made his way back to the post, seemed al most ashamed not to have executed his mission, and asked: Colonel give me a duplicate of the message" He received a pint of water, which was in those days the courier's great est recompense, and started off again
 One of these couriers presented him self at the commanding post of a colo mel, panting, covered with mud, and bleeding freely. He had passed through the zone of drum fire" that ploughs up the ground yard by yard methodically. He held out the en- velope containing the message. How ever did you get through" asked the colonel.
