STILL LOOK TO AERoPLANE
Military Experts Have by No Means
Abandoned Faith in This
Weapon of Warfare.

It is an acknowledged fact that a
moving aeroplane is an abnormaliy diff
flcult target, no matter from what dis
lance 1t is aimed at, because the air
man can easily adopt rapid and erratic
flight and repeatedly alter the direc-
ton of his progress. In recently pub
1ished book, Aircraft in the Great
War" by Claude Grahame-White and
Harry Harper, the authors discuss the
possibilities of duels in the air.
'If against flying craft the land guns
are largely impotent-and in this war
they have been-there is still the at
tack from the air; and here, as we
have Indicated. there is scope for
daring work. But there is one adverse
factor.
Even a motor of 200 horse power
and this is almost the limit today
gives none too much power for large
and heavy craft; and for this reason, If
q machine has gun and ammunition
and carries in addition the weight of
a pilot and combatant, its space may
be so reduced that, when it seeks COM
bat with some high-speed hostile scout,
it will fly so slowly that the enemy
having no such burden to check his
pace-can fly out of range and so es-
cape.
Had there been enough machines,
air fighters would have played lead
ing role. But, as it is, the air scout
has been hampered merely in his work,
and this to no great extent, instead of
being driven from the air."

STUDENTS GOT THEIR MEAL
Chinese Ambassador FusrBhed II to
sons Of Mandarlns, Though Not BY
Any Means Willingly.

mostly the sons of mandarins, accord

suddenly destitute of funds. applied to
their ambassador and their consulate

Finally as a last resort so hungry
students literally forced their way
into the embassy, devoured the appe-

served in expectation of his excel

While they were thus occupied the
ambassador returned, but being told
by the concierge what was happening
inside he decided that prudence was
the better part of valor. Accordingly
he retired to nearby restaurant and
telephoned to the police.
There is nothing Partisan enjoys

however, that in the end it took more

That Little Matter.

A certain captain of industry, com
plimented on an immense war con-
tract, said in New York:
Zone beauty about these contracts is
their strict honesty. There are no
palms to grease.
1T wasn't always so in war con-
tracts. In fact, they tell a story about
a war contractor who once broke the
silence of his club reading room with
a dreadful sigh.
What's the natter brother con-
tractor asked.
Alas, alas!' said the first con
tractor; I've just bought 5,OOOO 900
pairs of shoes at 81 pair and sold
them to the army for Sc, and I'm
afraid the loss will ruin me-
Loss? Loss?' said the other con-
tractor. What are you talking about
man? On 100000 pairs of shoes, with
a five-dollar profit, how can there be a
loss?'
MY dear fellow said the first con-
tractor, sadly, you forget the little
matter of commissions

MILITARY MANS QUEER PET
Spider Proved Mascot In Hot Fight In
Egypt, and Subsequently Made
Long Voyage in Safety.

An English military officer has told
OF spider of his acquaintance that
went through several battles and pro-
ceeded on a long journey by sea and
land, and all without any mischance.
1t appeared that the first time this
spider came into public notice was
Just before the fight at Atbara in Up
per Egypt. 1t had quartered itself in
the ventllator of the helmet of the
officer. 1t was an energetic and busy
little spider, but always returned to
its quarters in the helmet, where the
good-natured officer left it unmolested.
When he went into the Atbara fight,
1t was still in his helmet Many men
were killed in this engagement, but
the officer and his spider came
through it unhurt.
The fighting at an end the British
officer packed various articles to be
sent home, and among them the he'll
met referred to. Inside was the spider.
Not until his effects had been dis
patched, did the officer remember the
spider. 1t was then, of course, too
late. The officer regretted that he had
sent his little friend on such a long
voyage without stocking the larder.
When the officer reached London II
was, he says, with considerable com
junction that he opened the helmet
box, fully expecting to see the dead
body of the spider. Instead, however
he was rejoiced to find his friend alive
and vigorous-and not even lonely
since, upon the voyage the occupants
of the helmet had increased in mum
Der, and now two young spiders shared
the strange retreat.

Seven Cows Made Him Rich.

Vert Love, who died recently at
Warfa, started as cowboy. without
even a horse that he could call his
own, and become a millionaire owner
of vast herds and a ranch that
was q domain within itself. as
serts an 81 Paso (Tex.) dispatch to
the Philadelphia North American.
A resident of West Texas since 1885,
Vert Love was known to every cow
man from Fort Worth to Ell Paso. He
had his peculiar characteristics. and
thrift was one Of them. But while
he was frugal he never allowed genu-
inc case Of distress to go unrelieved.
When other cowboys were draw
ing their wages in gold back in the
eighties. and riding to 81 Paso or San
Antonio to spend the money in riot
GUS living or over the gaming table,
Vert Love was putting his earnings
into cows His start was seven cows.
At his death he could not have count
ed all the cattle In his herd If he had
ridden hard for q month at the task.
His first work after coming West
was for Jim Powell, a cousin, near
Fort Davis. He was a mere boy, and
received only $25 month and his
board. He refused to take any money
except that necessary to buy his
clothes, which were few, and asked
to be paid in cows.

NO CURE FOR ALFALFA WILT
Unlikely That Any Remedy for Dis
ease Can Be DISQUALIFICATION
of Crops Is Advised.

For wilt, common disease of the
alfalfa plant in the West, there Is no
known remedy. According to experts
of the Oregon experiment station it is
unlikely that any practical remedy can
be developed, owing to the nature of
the disease. Where it becomes seri-
Gus rotation of crops is advised. Wilt
is most prevalent on heavy soils, par
ticularly where drainage is slow.
This disease has been reported in
New York and California and has re-
Gently been identified in certain sec
tons of Oregon. 1t is most serious
where the stand Of alfalfa is heavy
and spreads fastest in the fall, when
the surface soil is constantly wet. 1t
also attacks clover.
The moisture causes rot to develop
on the stems near the surface of the
soil and this forms a point of attack
for the wilt disease. A white cotton
like mold grows over the surface of
the stems and leaves affected. The
roots of the plant are not, however,
always destroyed.

Messages by searchllnht.

Although searchlight signaling be-
tween battleships was means of COM
munication at sea long before the in
PRODUCTION of wireless telegraphy, it is
still utilized. The latest battleships
of our navy, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine, have been equipped with
projectors designed especially for this
purpose, while the older vessels use
their regular searchlights for which
auxiliary shutters are supplied. Lev
ers operate these latter members,
flashing the lights on and off quick
ly so that messages may be spelled
out in dots and dashes, either at day
or night. For day signaling, the light
shaft is directed squarely at the OBJ
server, and to make this possible tele-
scope is mounted with the protector.
When atmospheric conditions are good
the radius Of communication is about
twelve miles in any direction. AT
night this is obviously much increased,
for light may be played on some prom
inent cloud and seen for distance OF
forty or fifty miles. When there are
no clouds, the searchlights may be di
rected skyward and their shafts Of
light seen at closer range. The feast
bility of launching captive balloons as
substitutes for cloud banks has beer
suggested.

use GAS TO PRESERVE FOOD
French Process 10 Especially Adapted
for MIX Powder-operstion
Declared Simple.

A method has lately appeared in
Europe for preserving various food or
other products, and especially milk
powder, the idea being based upon
placing the substance in sealed YES
sci or packing case with inert gas. so
that this latter prevents the usual
spelling of contents by the action OF
the air. In the French patented
process, the milk powder is packed IN
metal boxes of convenient size which
are entirely sealed except for q PIN
hole that is left at the top. A number
of such boxes is put in a chamber
and the air is exhausted by means of
an air pump. When this operation is
finished, valves are opened which al
low nitrogen to enter the chamber and
fill up the several boxes. Then, open
ing up the chamber, the boxes are
quickly removed and the pin hole sold
cred before an appreciate amount of
air has time to enter. In this way the
contents of the boxes are kept in an
atmosphere of inert gas, and the
process is most practical from an in
dustrial standpoint.-Scientif1c Ameri-
