DEVIL SHIPS" IN WAFARE
One More Of the Ancient Methods Of
Fighting That Is Being Brought
Into Use Today.

II was reported that devil ships"
were used in modern warfare. These
devil ships" are another Of those nu.
Client ways of fighting Of which So
many, like mortars and hand grenudes.
have been revived in the fighting on
the continent.
A devil ship" is ship that has
been filled with explosives which dis
charge either by means Of fuse, or
cipcl'work, or when the ship hits an
other ship or obstacle They We're EN-
ployed as long ago as 1888 by the
Dutch, when the prince Of Parma be
sicged Antwerp. In those DAYS they
were sent down the river to explode,
against a wooden bridge built by the
defenders of BeIgium's most important
city. The devil ships" used 10y the
Germans were exploded by means Of
clockwork.
They mustn't be mixed up with fire
ships. also used by the German sol
diers. These ships are usually filed
with dry wood smothered in pitch. oil,
and other inhammable material. and
when fired are sent drifting against
any defense work or ships of the
enemy.
Diving f1eiT-7=: - =~---nndV
A new diving helmet which anyone
can use is the cover design of the May
Popular Science Monthly.
This diving helmet is of metal It's
lower edge fits snugly over the shout
ders. Four adjustable weights, two in
front and two in back. are fastened
in place by metal strips. These
weights overcome the buoyancy OF the
air in the hood and the natural buoy
ancy of the person wearing it. The
buoyancy OF the air in the hood tends
to hold It in an upright position. Since
the weights are suspended below the
center OF buoyancy OF the body (which
Is in the chest). the shoulders are held
firmly in the curved lower edge of the
helmet.
Fresh air is supplied to the diver by
means OF a single tube which leads to
a small hand pump in the boat The
pressure OF the pumped air not only
prevents the water from entering the
hood. but keeps fresh supply passing
through at all times.

School Fairgrounds

The school Fairgrounds are inter-

schools have organized the games in
such way that all the pupils are
happily employed in small groups and
this lively pleasant recreation adds
greatly to the efficiency of the study

Public School viii Install Moving
Pictures
One of the most powerful factors
iu education today is the moving pic
ture. In the city of Los Angeles
superintendent Of visual instruction
has been appointed, whose work is to
direct the teaching by means Of NOV
ing pictures in the schools. In the
city schools of Kansas moving pic
lures have been established as reg
ular part Of the school instruction,
films being circulated by the Univer-
sity Of Kansas at a nominal charge.
In Colorado a circuit has been form
Pueblo, Lamar and other schools. On
ly the highest grade of pictures will
be shown. The Lamar board of edu-
cation has authorized the purchase Of
a high grade moving picture machine
and local carpenter are constructing a
special screen designed to give the
highest possible projection effects, at
the same time screening out the |
harsh light rays so that the light |
will be less injurious TO the eyes. In |
order to avoid injurious competition |
with the local theatre, the school NOV
ing pictures will be shown on what is
probably the poorest show night, on
Monday evening, and standard charges |
will be made. The first pictures will |
be shown on Monday evening, Janu-
airy 22d, beginning at 1880 o'clock and |
each following Monday evening at
the same hour. The charges will be
5 cents for grade school pupils, 10
cents for high school pupils and Is
cents for adults.
Tickets may be purchased at the
door, good for six evenings. at 25 |
cents for grade pupils, 80 cents for
high school pupils, and rs cents for
adults. The money received will be |
used in paying for films and in re-
turning to the school district the

chine. Beginning next week announce |
ment Of the films will be given in the !

tional pictures will be shown exclus-

Der of persons employed, or the com

Another important question re-

to adopt or reject a certain policy, or
whether the constituency is allowed
TO demand that candidate state his
position upon public questions, un-
der the section directly prohibiting
