PIONEER MINERS ARE SUDDENLY
 SUMMONED
THOMAS WADE DIES AT HUMBOLDT ON SUNDAY, AND JOHN DAHL AT McCABE ON MONDAY.
(From Tuesdays Dailv.)

Thomas Wade, one of the best known miners of this county, dropped dead at Humboldt, Sunday evening at about c o'clock while eating supper.
 The deceased had been a resident of this section for nearly 40 years, first locating at the old Tiptop mine in the early 70s. His death takes away the last of those who figured so prominently in early days of mining at that camp. He had mining inter ests in the McCabc field, and when stricken so unexpectedly was paying Humboldt friends his usual Sunday visit. He was aged about 75 years.

SweeteninQ.

Many people can remember when
brown sugar was practically the only
kind in use. The pioneers found it to
their taste There are even today
places where white or loaf sugar has
never been seen on the table or in the

As for sorghum strip. that thick and
sweet product. it was used not only in
coffee or tea. but on pancakes and
warm biscuit 1t was not half as bad

also common. We can also remember
the widows advice to the minister
who called TO take dinner:

MiIIepedes.

The little creature which possesses
the distinction Of having more legs
than any other animal is that which
belongs to the family Of insects known
as millepedes or thousand footed.
There are several different species OF
these. but they all possess the common
chara cteristic of having segmented,
bodies, each segment Of which is pro-
vided with its own pair Of feet. These
are set so closely along the body as to
resemble hairs, and when they move
one after another with perfect regu-
larity the effect is precisely the same
on small scale as that of field Of
oats undulating under the influence of
the wind. Some species Of millepedes
have as many as $50 separate and dis
tinct legs. They are all perfectly harm
less.

CAMERA MEN AL0FT.
How Battle Field Views Are Taken
From an Aerop,ane.

From an Aeroplane.
The camera man In the aeroplane,
In order to get his focus, must usually
work within range of the firing lines.
Few precautions ure possible. The bot
tom of the aeropane may be covered
with metal sheets, when it Is said to
be armored. but the pilot must de-
pend upon his heetness and elevation
to dodge the enemies fire. There Is be-
sides the chance Of encountering an
other aerial craft, probably armed for
an attack with a machine gun. Calm
ly facing such dangers the camera man
must coOlly adjust his camera, calcu
late the value Of light and shadow, the
speed of his craft and altitude and
make his exposures at just the right
instant. The photographer who loads
his plate holders and, camera in hand.
takes his place on scouting aeroplane
faces perhaps greater hazard than
any man of his profession. which is
saying a great deal.
The telephoto camera, which has
been especially designed and con-
structed for aeroplane work, is as pow
erful as small telescope or the field
glasses available for an army officer.
Every one who has ever looked ut
the ground glass Of a camera beneath
the focusing cloth knows how the
world suddenly appears in miniature.
camera the landscape suddenly leaps
nearer like the stage Of the theater
through ones opera glasses.
With such a camera excellent photo
graphs may be taken at height of
$500 meters, or rather more than two
miles. From such attitudes the lens
sweeps a broad expanse Of country.
In the photographs made from point
q thousand feet or more up the detail
recorded is often marvellous. A fort or
a trench is thus shown as clearly as
though snapped by an ordinary camera
at distance Of but few feet. Many
of the pictures are taken at high alti-
tudes with the camera inverted and
the lens pointed through a hole in the
floor of the car.
Since these fliers can work in
radius of 100 miles their operating base
need not be near tile battle line and
the dark room problem is greatly sim
plified. When he has returned to earth
with his exposures the developing and
printing may be done in some nearby
city or town. 1t is often necessary,
however to develop in the field when
special portable tent dark rooms are
employed, or the films are developed
in special trays without the use Of
ruby light. Developing becomes a
thrilling operation when a chance bull
let r-baFsting shell may at any in
slant enter"one's dark room and fog
the plates, if it does nothing worse.
With these aero photographs before
him the modern commander may be
said to look directly down upon the
battlefield. An attack or a defensive
movement may be planned like game
of chess. where every square of the
board is beneath the eyes.-"The Cam
era Man." by Francis a. Collins. ~

Patenting COat-Tails

Art Young, in the July Metropolitan. Sometimes a congressman introduces a bill "by request" which means that he does it as a favor, but without en- thusiasm.
 Representative Morrison of Indiana introduced a bill "by request" that il- lustrates how laws are being urged that will apply to every nook and crook of commercial activity
 It is House bill No. 6458. to enable clothing manufacturers to patent styles. If style dealer produces a
 coat-tail that catches the popular fancy is there any reason why he
 should not have exclusive rights to that coat-tail? If you want to know what a nation
 of money struggling neurasthenic noo- dies we are becoming. read this latest effort to extract royalties from button holes, pleats. gussets, gores and drap- ings.
 A lot of other things mot now reg isterable nor patentable under the copyright act' also come under the provision of this bill. Just to mention bottles, borders jewelry, plumbing fix lures and bric-a-brac. To prove that the design is "new and original" Ah! that would be fun for the lawyers, and that is what laws are for.
