Mr.. Jake Brown this morning re-
ceived telegram from his son, Mr.
Julius Brown, in Washington, stating
that he had just been given a commits
sion in the engineer corps of the Unit
ed States Army as first lieutenant.
Julius Brown is bright young man,
has made fine record in the different
schools and colleges he attended and
had no trouble in passing the army
examination. He has been in training
in Washington. His many friends
here will be glad to know that he
commences his military career with
such a promising start.

London THROUGH the ACES.

The occupation of the site of London
dates back much farther than most
readers are aware The city that
julius Caesar found occupied a site
which had been inhabited for unnum-
bered thousands Of years. 1t Is now
known that during paleolithic and
neolithic times-the two great divi-
sions of the stone age-man dwelt on
the site Of London, but 1t first became
the settlement Of community at the
opening Of the historic age, when it
was q stronghold Of the Celts. The
remains of its Roman period are the
finest of the kind in Great Britain.
The Anglo-Saxon and Danish periods
are finely represented, and even later
periods, such as the Tudor, furnish rel
les that have been buried by that
strange process of superintendent
growth which makes the soil under
great city resemble the fossiliferous
strata of geology.-Youth Companion.

AeropIane Special Delivery.

l do not think the aerOplane will
supplant the steamship and railroad as
a mail carrier because it will be too
expensive. 1t would take a very large
number of flying machines, perhaps q
hundred, to carry as much mali as we
now get into a mail car. You can cas-
lily figure how Ghis would increase the
expense 1t will have the same advan-
tage in carrying mails as i'll carrying
passengers, and that IS speed. This
statement also needs some qualifica-
ton, for when it GENES to quick COM
munication the aeroplane can never
supplant the telegraph and the tele-
phone. But we shall probably have a
special rapid mail service by aeroplane,
for which we shall pay higher price
and buy a special stamp. The flying
machine will give a ten hour service
between New York and Chicago and a
two day service from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.-Orville Wright in Har-
per's Magazine.

AIaska's "PupmobiIe,"

The "pupmobile" is passenger train
drawn over a regular railroad track by
dog power. 1t carries passengers from
Nome, Alaska, across the level land
near that town into the mountains.
The track is a narrow gauge railroad
built In 1900. A high tax was placed
on railroads In Alaska soon after that,
and as there was not enough traffic
over the road to Justify the expense Of
operating locomotives, the regular
train service was discontinued. Then
the "pupmobile'' was instituted. The
accommodation for passengers con-
sists of a platform on which are two
seats. To this from seven to fifteen
dogs are harnessed, and the rate at
which they travel compares favorably
with much Of our rapid transit. "

Flaq Sizes.

The United States army regulations,
1914, declare the garrison, post and
storm flags to be national flags. They
are to be made of bunting, and the
union of each shall be one-third the
area Of the flag. The garrison flag
will have thirty-six feet fly and twenty
feet hoist thus the length is proper
toned to the breadth as nine is to five.
This flag is furnished only TO posts des-
ignated in orders from time to time
and is to be hoisted on holidays and
important occasions.
1.-The post flag will have twenty feet
fly and ten feet hoist" 1t is furnished
to all garrison posts for hosting in
pleasant weather.
THE storm flag will have eight feet
fly and four feet two inches hoist" All
occupied posts fly it in stormy weather
and it is also furnished to national
cemeteries and recruiting stations.

found that the average height Of the

one giant peak raised its head more
