Would Carry Mail In Airplsnes.

Aircraft as mail carriers was the
suggestion made in paper read be-
fore the Institute of Engineers and
Shipbuilders, Glasgow. 1t was point
ed out that in the first place the speed
of aircraft was much greater than that
of surface vessels. The considerable
difference In the speed of aircraft and
of watercraft would bring about n
greatly increased exchange of CORE
spondence between distant countries
than was now possible, and this ac-
celebrated rate of exchange of corre-
spOndence would react upon the com
merce between such countries, and
consequently upon their shipping. In
Che light OF such reasoning it was ap-
parent that the commerce and ship
ping Of country must profit consid-
erably by the. advent Of aircraft.

AMBROSE Pare, the renowned
French surgeon, as q member of the
stat Of the duke of Vendome, with
whom he was on close personal terms,
demonstrated to his patron the use
OF the ligaturc for depressing hem

Had he been less of the jester and at
tended 10 his practice with greater
diligence, he, TOO, might have won
greater success in this world. The
creator Of Pantagruel and Gargantua
was IL diplomat when he went with
Cardinal du Bellay to Rome. The itch
for satirical writing soon became so
chronic with him that he lost his pro-
fessional perspective. However, his
more felicitous poem concerning the
birth Of son TO Henry III brought
about his recall to France and re-
stored to him something of the favor
he had previously enjoyed.

NATIONAL WAR CAP talks"
Monteneerln "Kspa," Worn by Prince
and Peasant, mathematical Of
CoUntry's History.

The round cap, or kappa, that the
Montenegrin soldiers wear is a his
tory of their country in miniature.
The people of Montenegro, writes a
correspondent Of Parsons Weekly,
have a saying that "kapa talks" and
they are not far wrong.
1t is the national headdress for
war, and it is the same for prince
and peasant. In color it is a vivid
crimson, but it has a deep black bor-
der, which leaves only small crown
Of the foundation color visible.
The black border is a sign of
mourning for the terrible Battle of
Kossoyo, when the old Serbian en-
pire, of which Montenegro was a
part, was overthrown by the Turks,
and the SNbian army was annihi-
lated. The red crown signifies "the
field of blood" of the same great
fight. When Constantinople falls,
and their hereditary enemies are
finally driven out of Europe, then,
and not until then, will the Monte
negrins remove the black border and
wear the kappa all red.
On the red crown, in one corner,
are five semicircles in gold. These
have a double significance. They
symbolic first the five centuries that
have elapsed since Kossovo was
fought, and, secondly, the five colors
that the Nontenegrins see in the
rainbow, the sign Of hope that one
day the glories Of the old empire Of
the Gar Lazar will be restoted.--

OFFICERS NEEDED FOR SHIPS.

The United States is facing a seri-
GUS problem in the lack of trained
officers for merchant ships. In this
connection the enlargement of the
state nautical training schools of
Massachusetts, and New York is be-
ing urged. Each of these states
maintains a school for officers for
the merchant service, with training
ship loaned by the navy. The train
ing ships are two obsolete 1,OOO-ton
gunboats and it is said that much
larger vessels are needed. So many
ships have been transferred to Amer
lean registry since the war began
that the president has been forced to
suspend the law requiring the officers
of American merchant ships to be
American citizens. As soon as our
new ships begin to put to sea the
shortage will be more acutely felt
than ever.

OBSERVING THE BUSY BEES
Should Be the Teachers and
Who the Learners.

Sitting for hours idle in the shade
Of the apple tree, near the garden
hives, and under the aerial thorough
fares of those honey merchants,
sometimes when the MONDAY heat
was loud with their minute industry,
or when they fell in crowds out of the
late sun to their night-long labors, l
have sought instruction from the
bees and tried to appropriate to my
self the old industrious lesson, L.
Pearsall Smith writes in the New
Republic.
And yet, hang it all, who by right
should be the teachers and who the
learners? For those peevish, over
toiled, utilitarian insects, was there
no lesson to be derived from the spec
tacle of me? Gazing out at me with
their myriad eyes from their joyless
factories, might they not learn at
last-might l not finally teach them
"a wiser and more generous hearted
way to improve the shining hours?
