PeriI0 Of the Air,

According to early report. two Of
the aeroplanes performing advance
scout duty for our troops in Mexico
have disappeared. This did not imply
that they met destruction, for they
we're later discovered with their avia-
tors uninjured.
II is true, however. that the dangers
attendant upon this new form OF mill
tary service have not been overesti-
mated. In the British house of COM
mons the statement was made last
week that the record OF casualties in
the aerial fighting force, so far as
tabulated. showed the loss OF 405
killed, wounded and missing.
Most of the fatalities occurred in
active combat, and this Is attributed
to the superiority OF the German ma
chimes in capacity and equipment. But
OF the total more than 100 had simply
disappeared. flown out OF sight and

Of the air are less furiously destruc-
tive than thpse of the battlefield, but
they have the thrill and the chill Of
mystery.

The proposed tax. Mr.. Gray de-
clared, would fall on thousands OF
individuals scattered throughout the
country, who have purchased powder
stock. He estimated that :he t0x
would be equivalent to $3S for each
share OF Dupont Powder stock alone
held by any one. He declared that
the net profits of that company were

Women Used In Gsrrlaons.

Women are now being employed in
garrisons in France in the place Of
soldiers OF the auxiliary service. The
experiment. Just begun at the head
quarters Of the Thirty-sixth infantry
at Caen, has proved so successful that
the minister Of war has suggested
that the commanders Of other garri-
sons use the services Of women wher-
ever II is possible. Thus the drafts
Of the 1888 military class will be lin

men to continue to attend to their
regular duties and will give employ
ment to the widows, mothers and
sisters of soldiers killed.
All the women used in the garri-
sons are to be classified under the d.
rection OF various chiefs OF the service
and will be placed according to their
qualifications.
