steady loss of men who quit the service to
secure employment in muntion plants and
other establishments paying better salaries.
A total loss of 1915 is shown through with
drawal from the pension fund since last
July.
The drain was heaviest during 1916 rs
the total of Withdrawals this year has
been 800. The greatest loss has been suf-
fered by the Bureau Of Water, which has
been steadily robbed of engineers and
workmen by outside pressure in the nature
of wartime salaries. Councils hope to stop
the leak by raising salaries, and with this
end in view increases for all receiving less

BE A FRESH AIR CRANK.
iBlsbee. Ariz.. Reyiewl


When the annual grippe epidemic
hits us we always blame it on the cold
weather, and go on suffering from the
disease and spreading 1t as far as pos
sible. That there are about three times
as many deaths from pneumonia,
bronchitis, colds and grippe in the
winter as in the summer is not to be
blamed on the temperature. The main
cause lies in the fact that we shut our
windows as winter approaches and
open them all too rarely until spring
returns. Fresh air is the big safe
guard against all these throat and lung
diseases, and it is the thing we deny
ourselves from November to May.
What we ought to do right now be-
fore the winter is a day farther adj
vanced, is to become fresh air cranks.
Open our windows, drive out stale,
disease laden air, sleep with windows
open, walk as much in the open air as
time permits us.
1t isn't particularly hard or heroic
to be crank, once We get used to it.
And the results are so beneficial and
so pleasant that we soon wonder how
we ever came to dread the fresh air In
the winter.

invisible Light Rays.
brooklyn Eagle


1t Is claimed that under the inven-
ton of an Italian, Signor Giulio Ulivi
Photographic or, rather, scotographs
of objects in darkness can be taken
and enlarged so that enemy coasts
can be mapped. While the inventor
was recovering from serious wounds
received in battle he announced that
he had succeeded in applying the in
visible mira red waves beyond the red
band of the spectrum to detect objects
in darkness and determine their
length. The new invention is known
as the scotoscope, meaning vision in
darkness and consists of a searchlight
emitting invisible rays which illumin-
ate distant objects and render them
visible only to the observer. Thus by
means of the scotoscope searchlights
warshlps are enabled to see without
being seen.

Aluminium Propellers.

In view of the fact that American
airmen with the eXpeditionary force
in Mexico have had much trouble with
wooden propellers because of the in
tense neat in the region in which they
have been operating, an effort is now
being made to provide metal propell-
ers, according to the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. One advantage
which they possess is that they will
not splinter. A prominent aeroplane
company in the east has received for
experimental purposes two blade
propeller made of solid aluminium al

GUM CHEWING GROWING.
British Government Issues II to Sol.
diers as Ration.
(Manchester Guardianl


According TO very remarkable fig
ures just published. the English have
suddenly become a nation OF gum
chewers. and the leading manufacture
ers are able to Claim that within six
months they have increased their
monthly sales from 100000 to co.
10000 bars. 1t has been suggested
that the habit has been introduced
by the Canadian soldiers. who, of
course. share the Americans fondness
for chewing gum, but we are assured
that they have nothing to do with it,
The spread of the habit is purely a
triumph of natural weakness and ad-
vertising. The most enthusiastic adj
herents-a good word-are said to be
not women clerks but soldiers and
munition workers, with the navy a
fair third. 1t seems that for the past
four years chewing gum has been sold
at army and navy canteens, but it
was not until this last great advance
that 1t was issued as an army ra-
ton. The soldiers theory is that it
steadies his nerves to have something
to chew on, and it certainly keeps his
otherwise parched throat moist in
times of stress. There is story of a
wounded man kept alive for five days
by the va-inducing gum, and a
good yarn about flying man who
used his wad to plug bullet hole in
his petrol tank-not an advertised use.
London retailers tell me that for years
they have had steady sale among
English people of all classes, chiefly
men, and that the demand has in
creased greatly this year, but they do
not think our civilians have as yet be-
come slaves to the habit

WHALE AND EAGLE.
Natures Submarine and AirpIane
Puzzle tho Scientists.

FdGAie lHO OGleUtlbtSs
There are two animals that puzzle
naturalists more than any others.
They are natures submarine and air.
pane-the whale and the eagle. 1t is
known that whales occasionally de-
scend as far as 5000 feet below the
surface of the sea--a depth at which.
from the pressure of the water they
ought to be crushed flat. why they
are not injured naturalists have yet
to discover. 1t is this pressure that
prevents a modern submarine from
descending more than some 800 feet.
Eagles have been seen, through tele-
scopes, to be flying with apparent ease
from $4,000 to 1000 feet above sea
level At that height no human be-
ing can live, owing to the rarefieation
of the air How the birds live and
fly at far greater heights than man
can endure is another question still
unanswered.
