ZEPPELIN AIR CRAFT.
Aluminium 0irdsrs and Hoops Line
 Thsss Monster Balloons.

Aluminium Girdsrs and Hoops Lins Thsss Monster Balloons.
 The technical details in the construc. ton of Zeppelin air craft are explain ed in a journal named the Aeroplane. The visible exterior part of the Zep- pelin Is merely the cloth or fabric GOV ering of the framework. which consists of sixteen girders made of very thin aluminium. The girders run from end to end of the ship. parallel for most of their length and turning inward to meet one another at nose and tail The cylindrical body of the Zeppelin may therefore be said to have sixteen sides on account of the sixteen girders.
 To keep these longitudinal girders. or 'stringers." in position there are tbwartship girders. which run like hoops around the ship and act like the ribs of boat There are generally about eighteen hoop girders. spaced an equal distance, one from another. and they are braced across and across in side each hoop. to the next by wire bracing. so that they cut up the whole skeleton into a succession of compart- ments. each of which-except the end compartments-has fat ends and six teen sides.
 In each of these compartments is n gas bag standing on its edge. The idea is that if one gas bag springs Il leak or is punctured by a projectile only that one bag collapses. and the weighting of the ship is so arranged that even if four or five gas bags are entirely def1ated those that remain will float the ship after all ballast. ammuni- ton and other nonessentials have been thrown overboard.-London Standard.

LACK OF GOOD FOOD
 IS CAUSING SICKNESS

Berlin: The sick benefit assOcia- tion of Berlin, in which the working classes are insured in case of sick ness, has come to the conclusion af- ter an inquiry among physicians that large amount of prevailing illness is due to inadequate nourishment, which also decreases the powers of resistance of the patients. The as- sociation therefore has decided to make special provision for the feeding of patients where recommended by physicians and has arranged to is- sue gratis meal tickets in such cases.

PORSON'S WEAKNESS.
The Drink He Got From Mrs. Hopp
 ner's Private Bottle.


 ner's Private Bottle.
 In Samuel Rogers and His Circle is this anecdote about Richard Porson the famous classical scholar and pro lessor of Greek:
 When Hoppner. the painter. was re siding in a cottage a few miles from London, Person one afternoon sudden ly arrived there. Hoppner said that he could not offer him dinner. as Mrs H. had gone to town and had carried with her the key of the closet which contained the wine. Person declared however. that he would be content with mutton chop and beer from the next ale house and accordingly stayed tO dine.
 During the evening Person said. "l am quite certain that Mrs. HoppneI keeps some nice bottle for her private drinking in her own bedroom, so pray try if you can lay your hands on It. His host assured him that Mrs. Fl. had no such secret stores: but, Person in sisting that search should be made bottle was at last discovered in the lady's apartment, to the surprise Of Hoppner and the joy of Person. who soC.4 finished its contents. pronouncine 1t to be the best gin he had tasted for a long time.

UNPEACEFUL PASTORS.

The Dean of Westminster, as quot led in London dispatch to the New
 York Times, preached powerful ser
 mon against "peace on earth" Christ
 mas day, and among other things
 took solid rap at President Wilson for his actions in spreading the peace propaganda. Among other things k this disciple of Him who believed in turning the other cheek, said:
 < Tt is true that the President of the United States, after two years of \ study on the question and innumera- @ ble notes, seems to believe that the object of the two groups of Dellig- erents is the same. He knows that Germany refused arbitration, declin- ! ed a conference, and rejected every overture to prevent war. He knows that his countrymen have poured money like water to assist the desti- ute and outraged remnants of the little Belgian people, whose treaty rights were violated and whose from tiers were invaded before war was declared. He knows of the infrac- tions of the Hague conventions which the American people have studicusly promoted. He knows all the details of the organized atrocities reported upon in strict inquiries. He knows of the sinking of unarmed passenger ships like the Lusitania and Arabia, without notice or warning. He knows of the murder of Captain Fryatt, of the nocturnal deportations of Bel gians and French into slavery. He knows of German connivance at Dr. menian massacres, and yet he is of the opinion that the nations who are leagued to disarm this evil dernon- iac of national militarism have the same aim in view as the perpetrators of these historical crimes. President Wilson has either in a fit of mental alteration sent the wrong note or he has entirely misapprehended the Eu- ropean situation"
 The good Dean is evidently so peev- cd that the President does not look at the holiness of the present war, from the English standpoint, that he allows his vocabulary to run away with him. The war is none of our war; we didn't start it, and we have l.o reason to end it but from the fact that up to the present time, as the Dean says, Americans have poured cut money like water" seeking to ameliorate conditions brought about by the insane hate of the be!ligerents. When a country's mails are seized by a belligerent, when its merchant ships are married from the high seas, when it cannot conduct diplomatic relations with neutral on account of the con- duct of some belligerent nation, it is time for the President to express his disapproval of the conditions causing these breaches of law and seek to lead these belligerents into state of mind which will admit the rights of other nations.
 So long as the United States is pay ing for the war it has right co 'tic- tate the manner in which it shall be conducted.

MAKE APPLE BUTTER
AND SAVE FOOD BILL

Washington, Sept. si,---As q final
drive ON fruit preserving the United
Statos department of agriculture
urges the making OF home made
fruit buffers .ft
Various fruit butters recommend-
ed are apple butter with elder, ap-
PIE butter without cider. apple but
ter with grape juice, apple butter
with lemons. pear butter, peach but
ter, plum hutter. and Garfield but
tor made with plums and peaches,
With the exception OF good pre-
serving kettle very little equipment
is needed for the preparation OF such
buffers.
There Is no better way to use good
apples. says the department. than to
make them into butter. The peeled
and sliced apples may be cooked In
the boiled cider or they may be hrst
made into apple sauce which Is then
cooked In cider. II usually takes
about equal quantities OF sweet ci-
der and sliced apples to make but
ter OF the right consistency. In
other words, gallons OF sweet elder
shuold be boiled down TO gallon,
and gallons OF the prepared apples
should DC added to II either I'M
cooked or as apple sauce, The two
essentials of good apple butter are
long slow cooking from 4 to 6
hours and frequent stirring. II
sugar Is used, Il should be added af-
ter the cooking is about two-thirds
done About / pound OF sugar Is
the usual proportion for each gal
Ion of apple butter. but more or less
may be used to suit the taste. The
butter may be splced with cinnamon,
cloves and ntlsplce, or with any one
of the three. the spices being stirred
in when the cooking is finished.
While still boiling hot the butter
should be packed In sterilized glass
receptacles, or In stone Jars, with
thorough precautions against spoil
ing as with any other preserves.
Without Cider
Good apple butter may be made
without cider In his case enough
water is added to make thin ap'
pie sauce. Brown sugar rather than
white sugar is ordinarily used. II a
grape flavor is desired, II may be OBJ
tanned by the use OF grape Juice In
the proportion of one pound to each
gallon OF the peeled and sliced mp
pies. There should also be added a
cup of brown sugar and 4 teaspoon
full salt. When the desired thick
ness Is obtained. | teaspoonful Gin
namon Is stirred In.
Pear butter is made like apple
butter without the cider.

PEACE WANTED

The answers of the central powers
to the proposal for peace made by
Pope Benedict, are not surprising.
1t was pretty well understood all
along that the pope's suggestion was
inspired in central Europe. The
whole move is a play to prepare the
home people OF those nations for a
step toward peace without the ac-
complishments of the aims which
their governments have repeatedly
stated must be attained before peace
was possible.
The kaiser knows that the tide Of
war has turned. His government re-
alizes that there is now arrayed
against them a combination of de-
termined peoples who can never be
conquered To them it is a question
of obtaining the best possible peace
terms and as quickly as can be done
without jeopardizing the mainten-
ance of power by the present dynas-
ties.
Both in man power and banking
credits, the central powers are
nearing the end OF their resources;
and realize it. With the United
States throwing into the balance
banking resources nearly equal to
the combined reserves of all other
belligerent countries, Germany sees
nothing but failure ahead. With
her, 1t is a question whether that
end shall mean utter ruin with
democratic Germany, or peace
which will save to the Hohenzol-
lerns a united nation still able to
be serious competitor in interna-
tional affairs.
The diver campaign is not pro-
ducing the expected results. AS ship
building by the allies is rapidly on
the increase, the submarine toll is
weekly showing a decrease. Ger
many wants peace; and from now on
her internal policies will be marked
by adroit attempts to prepare her
people for the inevitable result and
to keep them in a mood that will
permit the holding Of firm hand by
the present military bureaucracy.
Austria is probably in worse case
than Germany. There is no attempt
on the part of the government to
disguise the fact that she wants
peace She is facing national dis
ruption. An early peace is her only
salvation. Her people are begin
ming to realize that she is playing
the part OF cats paw for Germany
So long as the central powers
cling to the ambitions of their pres
ent rulers, the thing most calcu-
lated to bring peace is frequent
sledge-hammer blows by the armies
of the allies, such as Haig's men in
flicted last Friday near Ypres. Ger
man plotting and hypocricy may
succeed in deceiving her own peo-
pie, but never the governments ar
rayed against her in struggle for
worldwide democracy
