Zeppelins" R. P. Hearne points out the
little known fact that it was French.
man named Spiess, an Alsatian. who
about 1870 drew up clever design for
a rigid airship and made an attempt to
patent 1t. In 1870 Count Zeppelin was
4 dashing soldier in Alsace. aud Mr..
Hearne thinks 1t more than likely that
he saw Spiess' plans ana annexed the
idea.
The Zeppelin IL q most elusive object
despite its size. It can leap upward in
the air at astonishing speed. It can
drop rapidly. II can climb at a steep
angle. It can dive wonderfully, and
Il can nose from side to side With no
mean agility. To reckon its altitude at
night is most difficult. and to ind its
range is a matter of much nicely.

afterward at festivals about 215 B. @.
When Dacia was reduced by Trojan

She Laughed.
indianapolis News)

The heat and smell Of cooking was
oppressive. Squads Of recruits drilled
with awkward determination. In
every patch of shade weary men and
boys lay stretched face downward.
There was something in the air, a
half -realization of the things that had
brought them all there, an uncertainty
of the things to come, which was 50
perceptible that it seemed almost
tangible. Even the jokes seemed to
serve only as convenient substitutes
for the things that were not talked
all, a young soldier and his wife stood
and laughed.
She had come to the camp expecting
to find him marching or shooting, and
she had found him cooking, or trying
to. Now he was a particularly young
man. They had been married a very
few months, but she had learned that
he disliked washing dishes, that he
could not and would not cook, ami
that he was particularly averse TO
peeling potatoes. And so she laughed
a jolly tboroughgoing little laugh that
was full Of real enjoyment, although
there was a tenderness In 1t that
brought a glad smile to his eyes, and
made it easy for him to laugh with her.
He stood there in his strange new uni
form, peeling potatoes, and now and
then stirring the meat that was boiling
on the stove. She stuck her nose into
the pot and then stuck it into the air.
You've scorched It," she declared, and
laughed again. She took a potato out
of his hands and showed him how its
feeling should be removed in the most
efficient manner. Then she watched
his awkward imitation Of her clever
movements, and laughed until they
were both enjoying themselves in the
most satisfactory manner.
Now, Of course, he might have pre-
ferred to have her see him march or
shoot, but she might not have laughed
then, and he wanted her to laugh.
And, of course, It would not always
seem so funny to her. She realized.
even as she laughed. that all the pleas
ure was gone out Of her own little
Kitchen. and she knew that she would
never enjoy peeling potatoes until she
had him safe at home again. Some.
how, too. she understood what It all
meant. and she wassvery proud Of him
because he was doing the thing he
most disliked to do. She knew that he
was very poor cook, but she was GER.
tain that he was very good soldier.
and so she laughed, stuck the candies
and soap and cigarettes that she had
brought into her soldier cooks pocket
end went away. He lifted the cover
from the pot Of meat and smelled It
judiciously. Amt scorched a bit" he
decided. and set to work peeling pota-
toes with a grin.

large more than half an hour may be
consumed in the process. The two
bones Of the lower jaw are separate
and capable Of independent movement.

forward as far as possible, 1t drives the
teeth in again and draws the jaw back

that the prey is drawn down by the
movement. The process is then repeat
