The Force of Rain in the Desert.

The following description of rain in the desert is given by a writer in Farm and Preside, the national farm paper published in Springfield, Ohio;
 'ln desert lands when it does rain," he says, ''it may come with much more force than anywhere else. In less than no time the whole mountainside was sheet of water running swiftly down. Soon great torrent began to pour under the rock where we were taking shelter, undermining it and threatening to throw it down upon us, a rock that weighed many, many tons. We emerged from there and made a hurried run to another hiding place more secure. Then came hail, and haiistones fell in such fury and of such incredible size that I thought they would kill old Barney, who stood exposed te their fearful peltings. In a little while the storm had passed away and the water soon ceased to come down the steep mountainside, and We went on our way, leading our horse"

THREE AMERICAN AVIATORS
 BACK FROM FRENCH FRONT
Thaw Says if Germans Can See You
 They Can Hit You.

Second Lieutenant William Thaw, Sergeant Elliot Cowdin and Sergeant Norman Prince of the French army fly ing corps have arrived in America for n visit
 These three bird men, Thaw and Cowdin from New York and Prince from Boston, have each won the croix de guerre. All three have been re- ported aedd on more than one occasion. They emphatically denied the rumors.
 Prince was the most often killed of the three He explained that the false reports were due to the fact that James Book. another American flier, fell behind the German lines and was mistaken for him. What became of Book the others never knew.
 Thaw said there are as many men In the French flying corps, counting mechanics and helpers, as there are in the whole of the United States army. Yet 47 per cent of the French fliers have been killed. wounded or captured There are 1,200 pilots at the front and 800 more either schooling or in reserve. He said there was not an American built aeroplane at the French front Asked where all the American ma chimes have gone, he supposed they were in England and Russia.
 None of the three ever saw Zep- pelin. Thaw said he was not sure whether the Zeppelins do not raid Par Is because of the efficiency of the French flying corps and the French anti-air craft guns or because the Ger mans hate the English more than they do the French and head for London.
 All three of the American fiiers prais- ed the worth of the German anti-air craft guns. and with good reason, as all had shots tear through the wings of their craft in flight several times.
 If the Germans can see you they can hit you.' Thaw said. "The only way to keep out of their range is by flying high"
 They agreed on the best working al titude to fly as about 12,000 feet. At that height they were able to both raid and observe. Much of their recent fly. ing was done at night.
 They said the three principal duties they had to perform were reconnoiter ing. raiding and directing the French artillery fire, ranking in importance in the order named. The average length of their flights were from one to five hours
