Dust Clouds Betray Fighters.

In locating an enemy dust clouds
are often excellent indications. A low,
thick cloud indicates infantry, high
and thin cloud indicates cavalry, while
a broken cloud indicates artillery or
wagon trains. An experienced scout
can closely estimate the character and
strength of an enemy solely by the
dust cloud.
An airplane, to be perfectly safe,
must keep ut an elevation of at least
1000 feet above the ground.

phone have become generally used In

old-fashioned courier and horse Is still
exclusively used. 1t has been found
a swifter and surer means Of COM
munication for short distances than

IS GREAT LEvELER
Nature Won't Let Geniuses Breed
in Straight Line.
HeredIty Doesn't Amount to Much II
Ono Carries It Back Through
Several Generations.

"A man tackled me for a job the
other day." writes "Sid" in the Ameri-
can Magazine. after enumerating his
various accomplishments he wound up
with final claim that was intended
to impress me with his importance
once and for all. He said that he was
a direct descendant Of Bishop Ump-te-
ump-the most learned man Of his
time in England. I asked what time
that was, and he said that 1t was
about 400 years ago. told him that
allowing 25 years for each genera
tion-he must be the sixteenth de-
scendant. No, not the sixteenth he
said, but the fifteenth All right
said, call it the fifteenth. Now let's
take sheet Of paper and see what
your credentials really are. Let's see
you had one father and one MOTHER
two grandfathers and two grandmoth-
ers, four at-grandgrandfather and
four at-grandmothers, eight great
great-grandfathers and eight great
grandmOtlers-ands so on
Carrying the multiplication bach to
the fifteenth preceding generation
showed that at the time the bishop
lived, my friend, the applicant had ex-
actly 32,768 ancestors. In other words,
the bishop was only one Of the 32,769
human beings who were his forbears
at that time.
"'You Lave mentioned the bishop,
but what about the other 32,767T I
asked. 1T seems to me that l ought
to hear something about them II
am to judge you by the good blood
which you say is in you. The bishop
was all right You are lucky to have
as much Of him In you as you have.
But the bishops stock has been con-
siderably watered. I don't believe he
would recognize you. What about the
rest?'
"That Is the trouble with this heredi-
ty game-if you carry 1t back very far.
Old Mother Nature is wonderful
leveler. She won't let geniuses or
boneheads breed in a straight line. To
the weak she frequently gives child
Of incredible talent-tO keep the neigh
bors from getting abusive. To the
brilliant and favored Of the earth she
often presents choice piece Of ivory
in the shape Of dull son. Apparent
ly the idea Is to carry the race for
ward together and not to play favor
ties.
"Another feature Of the scheme Is
that 1t keeps us all interested. Sur
prises abound on all sides. There Is
no telling where the next giant Is
coming FROM"

The Alamo.

The Alamo is a mission church at
San Antonio, in what Is now Bexar
county, Texas. In 1886 it was occu-
pied by about $50 of the revolutionists
in the Mexican war. Though attacked
by 1000 Mexicans under Santa Ana.
the Texans held 1t from February 23
to March 6, when Santa Ana took 1t by
storm. All but seven Of the garrison
perished, six Of these being murdered
after their surrender, and one man
escaping to report the affair. In this
garrison were the celebrated David
Crockett and Col. James Bowie, in
ventor of the bowie knife. The men,
ory of this massacre became an in
element to the Texans in subsequent
encounters, and Remember the Ala
mow became a war cry In their strug-
gle for freedom.

some Scripture story, and he instanced
the "Messiah" and Israel in Egypt as
examples. He then appealed to the
class to give him other examples.

growing impatience at not being al
lowed to show that he knew all about
oratorios, was at length asked, and
fairly nonplussed the master by his
answer: aaron on the Rhine.
