NEW ROCKET CAMERA
Photographic Apparatus of I'M

Germans Get Typographical Data In

sure-Modus Operandi Sim
pie and Ingenious.

The resourceful Germans have
found way to photograph the en-
emy's terrain, without recourse to
man-guided aircraft, as the term is
generally understood. Not only that,
but the cunning Teutons get their
Photographic data in Photographic
form when the doing of it is scarcely
suspected and quite beyond the
chance of interference.
The camera is carried aloft by the
impulse of rocket, the latter soar
ing skyward like an ordinary rocket.
The head of the projectile consists of
thin metal shell containing a cam
era, while the section below holds
a tightly packed parachute, the re-
lease of which is effected by means
of time fuse, which can be set to
go off at any desired altitude within
the climbing limits of the rocket. At
the proper time the parachute is re-
leased and spreads, and is of suffi-
cient area to hold the suspended cam

DOUBLE CONTEMPT OF COURT
Gen. Gilman Marston Was Thorouqhly
Disgusted With Court and VII.
ling to Pay for 1t.

The following anecdote is told of
Gen. Gilman Marston, once famous
New Hampshire lawyer:
General Marston was attending
court at small country town when a
young attorney made a motion that
was denied by the court. The young
man demonstrated against what he
thought was the wrong ruling of the
judge. So vehemently did he do so
that he was fined $40 for contempt of
court. An older attorney took the
matter up, and he was fined similar
sum. Still another, who thought he
stood little better with the Judge,
endeavored to straighten the matter
out, but he, too, enriched the Golfers
of the state by paying a "ten-spot" for
contempt.
General Marston was then seen to
rise in his seat and advance to the
clerks desk. Taking his long pocket
book from his pocket, he took out
two $40 bills and laid them on the
desk.
What is that for?" said the Judge.
II want you to distinctly under
stand" said the general, that l have
just twice as much contempt for this
court as any man here, and am pay
ing for it."

replied in the course of dispute:
Everything goes by comparison. The
man, for instance, who thinks his own
condition almost uncomfortable has only
to look about him to find some other
man who is far worse. Take the case
of one customer and his butcher.
"'Say," said the customer, that
last piece of steak l bought of you
must have come from a steer old
enough to vote"
"'Was it tough?'
"rWas it tough!' the man reiterated.
Well, I should say it was. I could
scarcely cut it.
"'Oh, is that all? Well, you should
have heard Riley kicking day or two
ago. He bought a piece over to the
new market, and he said it was SO
tough he couldn't get his fork into the

STOP! CALOMEL

Construction of Parachute Camera.

era aloft for a considerable period. In
order to keep the objective lens point
ed steadily in the right direction, a
small gyroscope is provided. 1t is
said that the maximum turning move
ment is so nicely checked by the gyro
that the swing does not exceed an arc
Of one degree.
Plates seven inches square can be
handled by the camera, and pictures
can be taken from height Of nearly
LOO feet, with field or arc of vision
of quite so degrees. The modus op-
erandi is both simple and ingenious.
On the march the whole outfit, weigh
ing about $50 pounds, is borne by a
special carriage. Part OF the equip
ment is a launching frame, which
guides the rocket at the time Of it's
flight from the ground. The vehicle
is equipped with range finder. Arriv-
ing at the point Of operations the
range finder determines the direction
and the angle at which the rocket is
to be started on it's journey. The
gyroscope is set spinning by means
of weighted cord, which is unwound
from the shaft of that device. With
this little wheel spinning the rocket
Is ready for it's trip aloft.
The rocket is ignited electrically by
means Of light cable from distance
of 300 feet. The initial discharge cuts
loose the heavy weight, which sets
the gyro spinning. The second elec-
trical impulse ignites the rocket
charge and starts the missile skyward.
In about eight seconds an altitude Of
1900 feet is reached. Shortly before
the maximum elevation is attained an
electro-pneumatic contact at the top
Of the hood-shell operates the shutter
and simultaneously frees the para.
chute. AS soon as the parachute ex-
pands the rocket parts-the three Sec
tions of which the apparatus is COM
posed being connected by line thirty
odd feet long.
Immediately under the parachute, as
it floats in the air, is suspended the
hood-shell containing the camera, and
at the end of the line are hung the
body of the rocket and the vaned
guide-rod. AS the whole equipment
settles earthward the guide-rod strikes
the ground first, and by thus light
ening the load on the parachute tie
camera descends slowly so that It
can be either caught or brought to
rest on the earth without jar.
The whole affair presents but a
very small target; it reaches it's maxi
mum altitude in far too brief a span
to be interfered with by gunfire; and
even for the time of its downward
drift is too short for effective prac-
tice on the part of the enemy's marks
men. All that is necessary is to wait
until the breeze or wind blows from
the foes direction so that the rocket
camera will be brought back to its
friends.

New Zealand Victoria Cross.

New Zealand has its own Victoria
Cross-one of the rarest medals ever
awarded "for Valor." This cross is
very similar to the one so much COW
eted by the officers and men of the
British army and navy. The center,
however, bears the wording New
Zealand" instead of For Valor,' and
has no lion. This medal was institut-
ed in 1869 by the governor of New
Zealand, Sir G. F. Bowen. He ex-
ceeded his authority in doing so, but
Queen Victoria signed the necessary
however, that it was not to be taken
as precedent. Altogether only 19
Of these crosses were awarded.

WOULD YOUR SKIN

The bright lights of an even

Resinol Soap makes it as easy

comes clear, fresh and velvety.
