A MIRAGE IN THE CLOUDS.



An extraordinary story of mirage
In the clouds is told by young flying
corps officer in the British service:
II had often wondered what it would
feel like to see a machine coming
straight for one and to know that
collision was inevitable. I had the ex-
perience one afternoon, only the COL
lision did not take. place. was on
patrol with five other machines over
the lines and had Just gone into a
cloud bank. Just before going in saw
the bus on my right turning to cross In
front of me. All of sudden saw a
machine Just the same as my own ap-
pear out Of the cloud about fifty feet
away, making straight for me. In
stinctively I jammed my nose hard
down and went as near a nose dive rs
possible. The other bus did the same.
I turned The other turned into me.
I was In a cold perspiration all over by
this time. so / thought, Here goes; If
I am going to crash 1t might as well
be complete So straight for 1t went
We got closer and closer, and, biff, my
machine and-its mirage in the clouds
met!
"It seemed like a hideous nightmare,
and I can still see that machine doing
its utmost to crash into me. tn nix !
can say l have had the full horrors Of
Q collision In the air without its actual
ly taking place."-London Telegraph.

The extreme tips Of delicate root
are protected by q sheath set with
minute scales, which as It is worn
away by friction against the soil Is as
constantly replaced. so that 1t acts as a
wedge and the root thread is carried
down uninjured. Another aid to pene-
tration lies in the provision whereby
the root as 1t pushes downward In
search Of nourishment exercises q
slightly spiral, screwlike motion which
worms its tip into the ground. Another
important agent is the acid cell sap,
which exudes on to and dissolves to
some extent the rock or hard soil. This
may be tested by placing small piece
Of polished marble In pot In which a
plant is set and covering 1t with earth.
After some weeks the marble viii he
found to have been corroded by the
continuous action of this acid.

stroys Upon Completion.

There has been discovered at Cape
Scott, one Of the most solitary points
in Vancouver island, by the chief en-
glneer Of the public works department
Of British Columbia, q sculptor who
spends his time in modelling little mas
terpieces from Jumps Of clay and then
destroying them, relates an exchange.
He 10 A. F. Whittier, and he calls
himself ''prospector." Living entire
~ alone, he has for the past two years
been carrying out lonely investigations
Of mineral claims In his nelghborhood.
His sculptor's tools are of the simplest
kind, and 1t is his habit to work with
the same piece Of clay, which weighs
scarcely i've pounds. but with that he
has modelled scores of objects.
The government engineer found him
just as he had completed bust Of the
martyred British nurse. Edith Cavell.
Mr.. Whittier was about to destroy the
work In order that he might use the
clay for a miniature statue Of his son,
who was recently killed. He was, how
ever, persuaded to part with the bust,
which is to be auctioned In aid Of the
Red Cross funds.
