causing the homeward plodding citi-

Catching Bullets in Air.

In :. London newspaper s. printed
an account of a British aviator dying
DER +hr German lines and catching a
bullet that had stopped dead still for
the smallest fraction of a second be-
fore turn ng from an ascending into a
descending missile. Although the news
paper prints no photograph 0f the
bullet, For even of the pocket into
which the aviator placed it, the odd
story has other elements of truth sui
ficiAn, 10 prove the authenticity CT the
whole narrative, remarks the New
York Herald. 1t has a swarm of Ger
man bullets "whinin,:" this is lndlS-
putable, because that has been the
characteristic of all Teutonic bullets
ever since the battle of the Marine. il
has the Germans trying to wing the
fiier; here is the typical Teuton!c at
tempt to induce suffering through
manning.
But the greatest evidence of truth IS
the final sentence explaining how the
aviator reached quickly, grabbeI thC
outlet and put it in his pocket. nc
grabbed" it quickly merely because
he was flying at the rate OF 1SU Iii e.
an hour. but he put it in his pocket
because a whining German bullet that
had been fired from rifle aud mad
gone through the superheated air sur
rounding the aviator was as white net
as Munchausen would be if he Were
alive to castigate those who doubt the

Engine Built Like 4 Watch.

The engine of your motor car
weighs from 500 to 1,200 pounds, or
rlore 1t will average from 20 to 30
horsepower at the lowest, says a
writer in Golfers. The new airplane
engines run less than three pounds
per horsepower and the finest of them
two pounds or less. AirplaneS have
Eeen built with air-cooled engines for
short distance, fast scouting whose en-
gines weiEh less than a pound and
three-quarters per horsepower. They
must be quite literally, as an old ad-
vertisement used to say, built like a
watch
At present a high-powered airplane
engine of the best type-say 120 to
for much less than $4,000. And the
cost $4,000 to $4,000. You can read
ily see why the construction of only
$4,000 airplanes, as in Englands pro-
gram, would easily equal, for total
expenditure for men and camps and
hangers and repairs and wasteage,
more than half billion dollars.
A fast modern airplane has an aver
age life of only about two or three
hundred hours of active service-say
two months at the outside. This
means that to keep 10000 airplanes on
a battle line you have to be able to
build 5000 per month or more. The
cost would be almost unthinkable.
That is why warfare in the air for any
length of time would bankrupt the
world. And that, in turn, is why war
fare i'm the air means the end of all
warfare

FLEETS OF ICEBERGS.
Sometimes They Go I'm Clusters and
Again i'm Long Lines.

Among the perils and wonders of
the ocean there are few more interest
ing things than icebergs, interesting
not only by reason of their gigantic
size, their fantastic shapes, their eX-
ceeding beauty, but also for the man
ner wherein they array themselves.
lcebergs exhibit a tendency to form
both clusters and long lines, and these
groupings may arise from the effects
both of ocean currents and of storms.
Some very singular lines OF bergs,
extending for many hundreds of miles
east of Newfoundland, have been
shown on official charts issued by the
government Two Of these cross each
other, each keeping on its Independent
course after the crossing. In several
instances parallel lines of bergs leave
long spaces of clear water between
them.
Curiously enough, while enormous
fields of ice invade the so called
steamship lanes" of the Atlantic at
the opening of spring during certain
years, in other years at that season
there is comparatively little ice to be
seen. The ice comes, of course, from
the edges of the arctic regions, from
the icebound coasts of Greenland and
Labrador, where huge bergs, broken
from the front of the glaciers at the
point where they reach the sea, start
on their long journeys toward the
south, driven by the great current that
flows from Baffin bay into the north
ern Atlantic ocean.
