EOund-And lost

During the Somme offensive last
year one Of the Shropshires found
himself crossing No Mans Land by the
side OF an Australian.
Look out! Here's n 'Minniel' ="
yelled the Australian, rs big shell
hurtled thru the air.
The Shropshire sprang into a crater.
hut the Australian was n second too
late. He stopped n bit of shrapnel in
his side, and began clawing up the
ground.
Crawling out Of the hole, the Shrop-
shirt carefully turned the wounded
man on his back. and found to his
horror that he was n brother OF whom
he had lost all trace for some years.
The recognition was mutual.
Halo. JIM" the wounded man
managed to gasp. They were. the last
words he ever spoke.
The Shropshire had found and lost
his brother in the space of half min
ute.

Elccting n Queen Cow.

In the Rhone valley. Switzerland,
an extraordinary ceremony Is carried
out every summer. This Is the choos-
ing OF queen COW by the cows them
selves A large number of cows are
assembled in n field to choose their
queen. The queen COW is the one
which is strong enough to fight all
the other cows OFF the pasture and re-
main in possession of II herself. The
owners OF the cows are not allowed
TO encourage their beasts in any way.
The honor OF owning a queen COW is
keenly coveted by the local herdsmen.
and they do everything they can in
order TO turn their animal out a win
ner. In their eagerness TO bring their
beasts fit and well on the day Of bat
tie. many OF the herdsmen feed them
for "A week or a fortnight beforehand
on bread and wine. The cows descend
from "A fighting race, and are always
eager to have a scrap. The election"
of the queen COW often lasts the great
er part OF the day, and is watched by
! crowds, who come to the scene from
miles around.

English governments. this was his
first for the United States.
His early experience was gained
when he was directeur of technique at
the Lebaudy sugar refineries in
France, where he built the long fa-
nous Lebaudy type dirigibles for his
employers.
His First Success.
The success of the first I.ebaudy
type encouraged Juliot so much that
he devoted a large portion of his time
10 the further development of dir
igihles. While he continued as di-
Tecteur of technique at the Lebaudy
refine1es, his employers gave him
ample financial assistance to enable
him TO carefully work out the present
type of non-rigid dirigible. In 1899
he began building this type of aircraf;
for military purposes. but IL was not
until 1902 that he felt he had made
the non-rigid dirigible practical for
military use. While he has never at
anv time confined his labors entirely
TO the French government. neverthe-
less France has always had his val
uable aid and counsel.
