HAS HIS GARDEN IN BARREL
Los AnoeIes Man, With Small Back
yard, conceives Idea for Unique
Strawberry Patch.

A Los Angeles man whose backyard
was too small for growing strawber-
ries. conceived a clever idea, which Is
described in Popular Mechanics.
He made q strawberry patch out OF
a barrel. Holes about u inches apart
were bored in rows in its sides. Sew
eral tin cans with perforated bottoms
were piled one on the other n the CEN
ter of the barrel and enough dirt was
thrown about them to fill the recepta-
Gle I'D to the first row Of holes.
After the dirt had settled sufficient
" strawberry vines were planted in
the holes and allowed to hang outside.
This process was repeated until the
barrel was full and vines had been set
In all the holes and on the top.
As the soil was added cans were
piled up through the center to provide
an irrigation passageway- 4 hole was
bored in the side near the bottom -

Bow Builds Locomotive.

A miniature railroad locomotive,

Portland, Ore.
The tiny locomotive, only As inches
in length, was built to test new in

Grated by steam, generated by oil fuel,
and is equipped with airbrakes, an
interior throttle and reverse levers and
gears.
The engineering department of the
Southern Pacific company borrowed
the model and figured out its weight,
power, and all other statistics in the
same manner that they would figure on
a full-sized locomotive. To their sur
prise, they found that the tiny engine
developed one-quarter horsepower, and
on level track had hauling capacity
Of one and q quarter tons.

GROW POTATOES FROM SEED
Experts Of University Of Washington
Use White Fruitins Berry Which
Has Almost Disappeared

In an effort to restore the old-fash-
Toned potato seed, an experiment is
being made in the garden of the Uni
versity Of Washington. The white
fruiting berry of the potato, which was
found everywhere a generation ago
and has now almost disappeared. was
used to plant a patch, and the fruit
Ing potato plants are being raised.
With them have been planted num-
Der of potato tubers in the usual way,
and the latter have grown much more
rapidly than the plants which have
developed from the seeds. The object
in seeking to produce potato seed
again is that crossing of strains can
De secured in this way, leading TO a
more wholesome condition of the plant.
When propagation is only by the roots
there is no chance for cross-fertiliza-
ton, and the same strain of potato
will In time give out.
The experiment is being conducted
under the direction of Assistant Prof.
John W. Hotson of the department of
botany.

ARCTIC RELICS ARE FOUND
Records Left by Explorers More Than
Fifty Years Ago Brought Back by
Croker Land Expedition.

Records left by various explorers in
the frozen North, some of them more
than half a century old, brought back
by Donald p. Macmillan, head of the
Croker land expedition, who recently
returned. are on exhibition in the
American Museum of Natural History
in New York.
Among the records is a silk lining
of a cap worn by DR.. Elisha Kent
Kane, the American explorer, left by
him at Rensselaer, Harbor in 1858. II
is marked with a leaden bullet 80. K"
There is also paper containing rec
ord of Doctor Kane's life in the North,
cut with a knife, owing to scarcity
of writing materials.
There are also records left by Rear
Admiral Peary, including a bit Of an
American flag, left in 1906 at the top
of Cape Thomas Hubbard.
A packet of letters left in a cache at
Cape Isabella in 1876 by Capt. Allan
Young for Sir George Mares expedi-
ton was also found by Macmillan. The
Mare party left its mark only 20 feet

TRIBUTES PAID
OUR BOYS

Excerpts from stirring tributes paid
! by citizens of Charlotte, North Caro-
lima, to our western soldiers in the
Charlotte News.
Before our boys reached Camp
Greene the people OF Charlotte were
thinking of the 'forty-nineTs" and
the wild west, etc. according to their
confession. After they saw them
and met them they said, How COM
pie tely have our fears been removed
by their gentlemanly bearing and
splendid conduct THY have estab--
lishnd in honor their sturdy, worthy
ancestry and exemplified the high
order of life of our grand new West.
In all supreme essentials of genu-
inc manhood they are noble examples
What big men they are. How strong
and we'll developed How strong,
1.-the and courageous lads they are.
IAN any people ON earth present
.iner specimens of soldiers. Not only
is their physical development superb,
but in mind they are men. These
boys from the West evidence that
they possess three essentials that
go to make up a real mana well
developed body, a highly cultivated
mind and a noble soul, 1t has been
Charlotte's good fortune to entertain
many notable and distinguished guest
but no man or set of men who ever
gathered around our hearthston and
fireside have ever found a warmer
place in our hearts than the officers
and men of the 4lst division They
arc noble sons of worthy SireS;
there courses in their veins the
best blood of the great and stalwart
West 1t can be truly said when
our government deems it necessary
to call for the men who compose the
f1st division to leave Charlotte in
order to battle for their country in
France; that the going of our fri
nds will cause a heart ache to
very man, woman and child in our
municipality mo finer body any
where" Perfect gentlemen" "a
magnificent Set;" "a delight to
the city," They have made good"
Our country is safe in their hands;
Conduct unexcelled;" Enthusiastic
Americans and will be credit to
their country Some where over
there" And We folks at home re-
joice to know our boys are making
good just as We knew they would.

OVERSEAS FLYING NOT EASY
Many Difficulties Confront Those Who
Would Cross the Atlantic in
an Airplane.

In a paper read before the Institu-
ton of Engineers and Shipbuilders in
Scotland L. Desbleds explains some Of
the advantages and difficulties of trans
Atlantic flying. With regard to the
former, the carrying Of the mails in
quarter Of the time at present needed
for the voyage between America and
Britain would. in the authors opinion,
be of immense benefit, as he considers
that the correspondence Of a country
may be taken as a measure of its com
merce with other nations, and the ac-
celebrated rate of exchange of CORE
spondence would react upon commerce
and shipping.
Coming to the problem of carrying
mails across the Atlantic, Mr.. Desbleds
considers that existing knowledge of
airplane construction and propelling
machinery only allows Of such flights
by reducing the strength Of the ma
chimes employed to far below that of
the airpIanes now in use; consequent
" those undertaking the passage
would run grave risks of coming TO
grief on the way. Some particulars
of an airplane for flying the Atlantic
are given in the paper, the proposed
machine having a weight by itself Of
about four tons, which is doubled by
the addition of fuel and stores, while
a crew of ten men account for another
fifteen hundredweight. - Chambers

Photographs In Air.

The photograph is proving a useful
adjunct to observation officers on duty
In the air. These officers, forced to
keep their field-glasses continually on
the positions they are observing, have
found considerable difficulty in making
notes of details as quickly as they see
them. Observation airplanes are now
fitted with a registering phonos taph
into which the officers speak through
an acoustic tube. Thus all the points
the airmen have noted are correctly
recorded for future use.

WRITER'S PEN is FREAKISH
There Have Been Many Instances Of
Authors Mechanically Saying
Something Not Intended.

Many, II not most, writers have had
to bewail the occasional freakishness
Of the pen in putting down on paper
something very different from that In
tended by its author, says a writer I'm
the Westminster Gazette. Readers Of
Sir George Trevelyan's 'Life of Macau-
lay will recall the historians horror
when, too Late, he discovered that he
had written in the Edinburgh Review
that ut would be unjust to estimate
Goldsmith by 1.-THE Vicar of Wake
field,' or Scott by 1.-THE Life Of Ma
poleon," when he really intended to
say that 1t would be unjust to estimate
Goldsmith by his "History Of Greece"
There was, too, an amusing slip Of the
pen perpetrated by the grave Sir Archi-
bald Alison in including Sir Peregrine
Pickle instead of Sir Peregrine Matt
land among the pallbearers at the duke
Of Wellington's funeral.
Another striking instance of the pen
mechanically writing something not in
tended came under notice the other
day on the title page of reprint of
once famous book. Jane Porter's 'Scot-
fish Chiefs" This edition, published
some years ago by well-known Lon
don house, describes Miss Porter as
author of Pride and Prejudice Sense
and Sensibility,' ETC., etc." Doubtless
the Christian name of Jane" induced
the slip. All remember, and nearly all
Charlotte Bronte was one notable ex-
ception-love Jane Austen; not so
many remember Jane Porter.

of the march he is about to make. Any
one who has tried to march with a
