Air Men and Altitude.

"a man can go up $4,000 feet by rail
or on foot without more than short
ness of breath and occasional nose
bleed" says an experienced British
aviator, "but not every man and not
even every seasoned fier can stand
jumping up to $4,000 feet in the half
hour that some of the machines can
negotiate that height in. The Difficult
tvs almost entirely physical, and it
all depends upon how man is made
whether or not his flesh and blood
will accommodate themselves to the
suddenly reduced pressure of the at
mosphere. There's no growing used
to it. If it gets you once it's pretty
sure to do it again. At the best yor
may only have bad headache and q
sort of boiled OWL feeling for a week.
At the worst you faint, lose control of
your machine and are listed among the
casualties Of cause unknown"
And the fiier added that the sooner
a man learned his altitude limit the
better. "There's plenty Of useful work
below 1900 feet" he said, "for the
man who begins to blow up mentally
or physically, above that height. y

When a Locomotive Puffs.
Puff, puff, puff!

Fun, pun, pun!
The train was just leaving the sta
ton, and the puffs of the locomotive,
at first slow, grew faster and faster
and finally seemed to cease in one
great roar.
at is the emission Of the waste
steam through the chimney that causes
that putting sound" said an engineer.
GAS the train gathers speed the puffs
increase in rapidity, and when ten a
second are emitted the ear can't dis
tinguish them separately any longer
it hears them as q continuous roar.
''The majority of people on this ac-
count think locomotive only puffs at
starting. Really, she puffs all the time,
only the puffs are too rapid to be rec
ognizable. A train going a mile min
ute gives twenty puffs a second, or
1000 minute. "-EXchange.

BOTH WERE SCARED.
Hard to Tell Whether the Man or the
Bear Ran the Faster.

A prospector named Whately, who
was collecting specimens near Cooke,
Mont, says the New York Evening
Post, worked too long and decided to
spend the night in the mountains. The
weather was warm and pleasant, and
he stood bis rifle against a tree and
lay lown to sleep In the course OF
the night he was awakened by the
heavy breathing of large animal and
an oppressive and very disagreeable
odor. Half conscious of something
standing over him. he lay perfectly
still.
Soon there was a grunting and snuff
ing close by his head, and he under
stood that he was underneath grizzly
bear! A cold sweat came over him
and he was paralyzed with fright.
Whately's rifle was out of reach. He
had no knife, and he feared that the
grizzly might attack him at any mo-
ment Acting on a sudden impulse, he
doubled up his knees and with all his
strength plunged both his fists and
feet simultaneously against the stom
ach Of the beast
1t was a complete surprise for the
grizzly, which was even more fright
ened than the man. 1t ran squealing
and believing into the timber, while
Whately, whose knees were knocking
together with fright. gathered up his
goods and struck out for Cooke City In
the dark. He did not dare to pause un-
til he was safe In the settlement

That Old Sea Serpent.

Major o. Smith, an officer of the
Swedish army, describes in Nature
sea serpent which he saw some time
ago in the Baltic sea, near Stockholm.
"At 2:25 p. m.," he writes, I'VE sud-
denly saw a movement of the water
like the ripple of a wave less than 3OO
feet from us. The sea was calm and
there was no boat or anything else
that could cause such a movement.
Looking more attentively, all of us
saw very distinctly head like that OF
an enormous serpent, larger than that
Of a man, slightly elongated, sur
mounting a serpentine body about sew
enty-five feet long. The creature was
undulating, making at least ten dis
tinct curves, and a large part OF its
posterior region was above the water
We watched this strange creature for
more than a minute swimming at
speed of about two knots. l have
seen many dolphins and whales, and |
know their movements. Those OF this
sea serpent were very different"

A Happy New Year

On Sunday evening of this week
the year 1916 will have passed into
history and the year 1917 will be
born at midnight. Speaking for the
people of this great nation OF ours
we indeed have been blessed during
the past year with bounteous crops,
good harvests and untold wealth.
The land too has been free from
disease and pestilence and the CRATE
full of the land can give genuine
thanks on New Years morn.
Gloomy people may say we have
reached the summit and that there
are breakers ahead but it is well
enough to leave such talk and the
mourning that accompanies it to the
future, which may not be as dark as
some people may imagine it will be.
We are entering upon the New
Year with conditions never better
and there ought to be no change in
the general conditions in the year
that is to come. So far as the United
States is concerned the future looks
rosy and bright.
But when the pages of history are
written the year just passing will 60
down as one of the darkest the world
has ever known. While this land of
ours has been blessed with Peace
and happiness, yet the greater part
of the world has been engaged in
mighty struggle and millions of lives
have been lost in battle and through
the disease that accompanies wars.
Yes, the people should be willing
to turn the pages of the year 1910
and turn to year in which peace
may come to the world, peace that
will be lasting for all time to come.

A Way Criminals Have.

What is it that chains a man to the
use of his real initials when he relies
upon an assumed name to keep him
from trouble or the penitentiary?
In their recognition and analysis OF
this fact the shrewder detectives seem
today one jump in advance of the
sharpest crooks.
This persistence in writing the tell
tale initials has been the chief factor
in the arrest of many notorious crim-
nails
Some obscure mental habit holds
them to the familiar characters OF
their. signature" explained a detective.
They seem unable to get away from
the letters their hands have been ac-
customed to form. not even when life
and liberty depend on it,
Criminal history is full of testimony
to this interesting psychological fact
And it is proving a big factor in run
ming down the kings Of crookdom.-
