rigid dirigible balloons ordered by the
department two months ago. said to-
night that the dirigible program now
was assured of completion much
sooner than had been expected. The
airship left Chicago at midnight Mon
day night and arrived without acct
dent yesterday afternoon at Akron,
Ohio. The contract called for deliv-
cry within four months. but the build
ers will turn the first ship over for
active duty in coast patrol work with
in less than 80 days of the date of the
contract and thereafter one or more
will be delivered every week.
The trip from Chicago to Akron
covered more than 400 miles. 1t was
made under direction Of the builders,
the Goodyear Rubber company and did
not constitute an official test, but it
was so successful that navy officials
are confident that valuable type,
similar to the Blmp of the British
navy, has been produced. They have

U-BOAT RUNS INTO MENAGERIE
Correspondent Narrates q Queer War
Adventure, Which Some Prob

London.-A naturalist correspond
ent narrates a queer war adventure
he had with a menagerie recently.
Elephants, parrots, monkeys, pair Of
leopards and some antelopes were
slowed on big steamship which two
torpedoes luckily missed. But the YES
sci had a gun, and it went off. So, as
it were, did the menagerie. You may

ened parrots, or that the leopards
changed their spots, which are now of
decidedly paler hue. But from his
amused horror about it there 10 no
doubt that the menagerie went mad,
and that-though the ships gunner
may deny it as a cause.-the German
U-boat disappeared. The elephants
trumpeted, and kept 1t up, and the big
cats, monkeys and parrots made a
noise ''like fiends coming up for the
crown prince" .-.--..-.

French planes of all types wrecked

chimes are built until they are ex-

HOW TO RAISE perennial
PEAS AND HOLLYHOCKS

Perennial peas are not sweet peas,
neither are they good to eat. The
vine grows. from six to eight feet
high, requires something to support
it, and makes bower of beauty sew
eral feet across. The bloom grows
in clusters somewhat like grapes,
and is red and purple and very bril-
liant. The vines die in the fall and
new ones come up in the spring,
making a very rapid growth.
The roots go down two or three
feet If the soil permits, and are
tough like ropes. If you expect to
plant perennial peas next spring, it
will be better to prepare the seed
bed this fall. Dig hole as deep as

while trying to get back to its base,
was 900 feet long and the envelope
was 60 feet in diameter.
French and American officers made
a thorough examination Of the great
craft, but the civilians were held
back by ropes that were stretched
around the dirigible.
The gondolas are connected by a
cleated cock-walk and the whole con-
struction of the craft was said by
her examiners to be wonderful. The
outer cover is of delicate texture,
double riveted and sOldered. She was
equipped with a wireless outfit.
Gun In Each GondoIa.
The machinery is highly compli-
Gated and the driving motors were
equipped with ~ cylinders. There
was a machine gun in each Of the
gondolas and the rear one was
equipped with hammocks for the
crew. Apparently, however, the for
ward gondola was fitted up as a
cabin for the commander. The lower
portion was painted black and the
upper part dull gray. On one side
was painted small iron cross.
There were no bullet holes visible
In the craft, but the forward gondola
had been wrecked in descent.
It has already been suggested that
the craft be sent to the Invalides
Palace in Paris.
After inspecting the balloon the
American officers were returning to
town just as the Zeppelin's prison
cred crew was being transported
through the crowded streets.
The commanding lieutenant looked
downhearted and disguised. Another
officer was a typical old Prussian
non-com with scar on his nose as
though made by sword welt. The
men were well built and wore leath-
er Jackets.
1t was reported here that another
Zeppelin was captured several kilo-
meters away when the forward gon-
dola crashed into tree, dumping
part of the crew to the ground. The
Zeppelin, relieved of this load, then
rose, tilted unsteadily and caught
fire.
The Zeppelin brought down intact
near here carried only incendiary
bombs, apparently for the purpose OF
self-destruction in the event OF cap
ture. All the explosives evidently
had been dropped in England.

An American inventive genius has
invented a powderless gun, which may
revolutionize land attacks. The gun,
which might be taken for a large grind
stone at a short distance, is revolved
at great speed by an electric motor,
and is capable Of firing hundreds Of
shots minute. The bullets are car

until the gun reaches the proper po-

five miles, is cheap to operate and Is
