Bomb Dropping Balloons.

The first bomb dropping balloons
were humble enough and equally fu-
tile. Balloons had been used in war as
early as the siege of Maubeuge by the
Austrians for observation purposes.
The first talk of bomb dropping was in
1912, when the Russians were said to
have a huge balloon for that purpose,
but nothing was done with it. In 1S47,
however, the Austrians. when attack
ing Venice, sent up paper fire balloons.
which were to drop bombs into the
town. But they forgot to allow for con-
trary air currents. The balloons got
into such current and, drifting back
over the Austrian lines, bombed them
instead Of Venice. ,,r-.,.

He Gets It From Filth.
TO be the consort Of queen and yet
to die of disease that is caused by
filth!
That was the fate Of Prince Albert
consort Of Queen Victoria, who died ut
the prime age of forty-two from ty-
phoid fever, a disease that is wholly
preventable.
Typhoid fever is found only IN man.
It is caused by short rod shaped mi.
croscopic vegetable which enters the
body through the mouth and leaves 1t
in human discharges to enter another
human mouth, to which it is carried by
fingers, flies, fluids and food.
1t is essentially disease of young
adult life Older people are less apt to
have it, probably because they have
suffered from an attack of the disease
in their youth.
Typhoid fever is known by various
Names slow fever low fever but,
whatever name it is called by, it kills
about per cent Of those whom it at
tacks.
A certain percentage of those who
recover become carriers-that is, per
sons who, though well, secrete the or
ganisms in their discharges.
Carriers are largely responsible for
the perpetuation of typhoid fever, but
the installation of proper sewer sys-
tens, the abolition of flies, cockroaches
and other filth insects, the maintenance
of pure food supply and the intelli-
gent care OF the victim of the disease
are the measures which if rigidly en-
forced will rid the country of the dis.

1t will be. easily understood, writes
G. G. Grey i'll "Tales of the Flying
Service" that before bullet that has
been shot straight upward begins to
fall there must be point where it
stands dead still and that for the last
part of its upward flight it travels very
slowly. One officer Of my acquaintance
told HE, after some months of war,
that his most curious experience was
when once, and once, only, he discov-
cred the exact extreme range point.
He was flying along quite peacefully
on bright, sunny morning at an alti-
tude Of little over 5000 feet, without
worrying about anything, when sud
denly he saw something bright dart
past the side Of the machine. He be.
gan to look about him and saw, a
shade below him and tritie to one
side, a whole stream Of little bright
things glittering in the, sun. :
Then he realized that he had just
struck level that happened to be the
extreme vertical range Of machine
gun that was making uncommonly
good shooting. Other bullets from
rifles and ether machine guns also
flashed into view as he flew along, and
when his eyes caught the right focus he
could follow the slow, topmost part OF
their movement for a considerable dis,
lance. 1T looked" he said, "just as If
it We're raining upward" and the phe.
nomenon was so novel that he quite
forgot for time that the '.raindrops''
indicated that he was unpopular with

THIS CHRISTMAS

No Christmas in America since first
Columbus came . ..
Was ever quite like this one. A hot
and purging fame :.
Has knit our hearts and purified; as
long as it endures
The war is mine and thine and his
and hers and ours-and yours!
We will all have tasks from which
there lies no true exemption
claim;
For old or young or rich or poor; the
duty is the same;
From linked hearts seize double
strength; and all along the line,
This war is your war and ours and
hers and his and .thine-and
