USE LANCE BOMB AS CHASER
Hritain's Mosquito Fleet Armed With
Novel Weapons for Fighting In
Close Quarters.

The armament of Great Britain's
SO-foot "chasers," nils" they are
called, is interesting. Each carries,
besides its deck gun, a depth charge"
six 'lance bombs," and rifle for each
Of its ten men.
The story Of the lance bombs goes
like this: A British destroyer was
once placed in the embarrassing posi-
ton of having a U-boat bob up right
alongside. 1t was impossible to de-
press the guns sufficiently to strafe
the stranger and there was nothing
else to strafe him with. What hap
pened to the destroyer l can't say,
but 1t must have got away to tell the
story, for each boat Is now provided
with lance bombs for just such emer-
gencies, says William Washburn Nut
ting in Golfers Weekly.
The lance bomb is 14-pound con-
tact bomb on the end Of six-foot ham
die, the idea being to use 1t at close
range by hurling 1t much as an ath-
lete throws the hammer. These are
implements loaded with awful posi-
bilities in the hands Of an amateur,
and the surest road to unpopularity
with ones shipmates is to suggest a
lance bomb rehearsal.

TAPPING a Submarine.

It's in the In and Out club, the
junior service club in London, where
tall yarns are spun by the fellows in
town on leave, and this one is the
best, but with 1t goes no guaranty or
refund money. But before shooting
my piece let me state that, no matter
how wild the lie may sound, truth at
least in this war is stranger than tic-
ton, writes a London correspondent.
In a cove on the east coast of Ireland
Fritz submerges, thinking he could
escape his sole pursuer, an old-time
gunboat on patrol, with busted wire
less, and without any way to call for
help. By means Of grapnel the gun
boat finally locates him lying still on
the shelving bottom. A diver is sent
down. He has big hammer. He
knocks on the hull of the German sub,
and the taps Of the hammer spell out,
in the Morse code: "Will you come
up or will you take a bombT Fritz
comes up.

Sustain the Board of Health.

Essex County Herald,
Island Pond, Vt.

Island Pond, Vt.
Gentlemen:
| am not greatly surprised in read
ing from your nice paper of the
third of August that the question is
to be tried out in the federal court
if the Vermont board of health has
the right to prohibit public gather
ings in the interest of trying to rid
the State from the long existing cpl
demic scourge of infantile paralysis
which seems to be more numerous
in it's cases than in almost any of
fifteen or more years of it's appear
ance in the State, and my long life
has taught me that there are people
in every state who are always hunt
ing for someone to lead them In
raising a question but they seldom
find him.
While stopping at Island Pond last
summer. upon coming in from Nor
gan on the stage, when near a mile
out from the postoffice the driver
stopped at what | knew was the Alba
Joyce place, and took on what proved
to be boy, as ! think now about Is
years old, who had infantile paraly-
sis when a mere child. The driver
took him up as if bag of wool,
without any form or action, and sat
him on a seat, and he continued in
that upright position, and as we
started along noticed him talking
intelligently to the girl next to him.
He was taken out and into a house
near town. | discovered he had no
use Of the limbs but was sure that
his mind was clear and intelligent.
noticed in your earlier paper,
what seemed to me a rejoicing, that
the proper authorities had raised
some doubtful question of allowing
the Chautauqua to exhibit at Island
Pond this year, with the disease in
creasing its ravages in the State for
near or quite fifteen years, if | am
right upon this point of time, and
scattering boys like this one through
the State, Vermont should put in
millions if necessary to wipe out this
scourge from the State, and then be
millions ahead of having her prod
ucts shut out from the states. Think
if this was the foot disease in the
cattle of the dear old State and then
question the courts.

MUCH METAL GONE TO WASTE
One Hundred Million Pounds of Cop
per Used in 100000 Shells Or
dered by Allies in United States.

Up to date the warning allies of Eu-
rope have placed orders for 35,000,000
shells in the United States. This means
q lot Of valuable metal going to waste,
for these orders require a total of 101,-
100000 pounds of copper, 46,75OOOO
pounds of spelter and 173,25O pounds
of lead.
A British 1S-pounder, or 3.3-inch
shrapnel, requires pounds 9B ounces
Of brass, containing &c to 70 per cent
Of copper, or nearly 3% pounds. A
small copper band around the shell
adds AZ ounces, making the total cop
per 4.04 pounds. Spelter consumption
per shell Of this size is about 1877
pounds. Lead bullets weighing 1892
pounds constitute the metal load Of the
prOjectile.
One pound of copper is used in max
ing "a LebeI rife cartridges. Every
125 of these cartridges consume l
pound of spelter and a small amount
varies more widely with the different
types. A finished 3.3-inch shell contains
pounds ISM ounces of steel, the steel
shell weighing pounds SIS ounces and
the diaphragm 9s ounces.
Just 33 complete chemical and me-
chanical operations have to be gone
through with great accuracy, precision
and carefulness, before white cotton,
mixed with sulphuric and nitric acid
becomes smokeless powder.

Birds Heaviest Eaters.

Birds are the heaviest eaters IN the
animal kingdom. Assuming-which
is conservative-that an adult lark
consumes fifty grasshoppers a day
and that five pairs of larks nest each
season on every good-sized farm where
they are not prosecuted or too much
disturbed by the blowing and moving
of all the suitable land, the number Of
grasshoppers dispatched daily on such
a farm means boon the enlightened
farmer must appreciate.

action of the kidneys is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poisonous

What War appropriations Mean.

When congress speaks in millions and billions
dedicated to war purposes the layman is pretty apt
TO figure only the cost of raising and eqpipping
armies transporting them and the cost of the noun
tains of ammunition necessary for the conduct of
real hostities. But there is vastly than this
principally because would be poor policy to burden
the French with a load we are we'll able to
carry ourselves. Here are some of the things we
will do with the huge appropriations other than the
items enumerated:
At the port of entry designated for America s
will build piers and big warehouses to ac-
commodate the ships and supplies needed for the
army. From this port network of railroads will
be constructed for the transportation Of men and
supplies to the front and to this transportation
system will be added automobile roads
At various points along the rail and macadam
highways supply depots will be erected, and like
wise needed base hospitals. Big machine shops
will be needed for the repair of engines. autos,
guns. armored and aeropanes. All of this
means that for the duration of the only great
American industrial cities will spring up all over
France and the bigger the part play in the
war the more comprehensive these undertakings.
Much of the money appropriated so far and yet
to be set aside for war purposes will go into the
building of a huge merchant marine feet. While
every dollar for purposes is an investment in
the name of Democracy, the millions put into ships
are of the visible type and ultimately COM
mercial supremacy the high for the United
States Outside of the investments in ships large
percentage of the appropriations far made has
gone to the Entente Powers In the form of loans,
all of which will be returned with interest in the
running of time. Even Democracy is an expensive
institution, but it is incomparably cheaper than
Kaiserism.

The Southeastern Fair.

The purposes for which the Southeastern Fair
was established are of greater significance this
year than ever before, not only to the material
interests of our own section but also to the patri-
otto interests of the entire nation. War conditions
and war responsibilities have emphasized moth
ing else could the need of efficiency in food pro-
duction. The Government recognized at the outset
that plowshares would play as decisive part in
winning the as would swords, and accordingly
it has encouraged by every means at its command
all those agencies that are working for more
efficient and fruitful agriculture. And espe-
ciaIly has it encouraged such enterprises the
Southeastern Fair.
On the time-tried principle that one example
is worth ten precepts, the wonderful wealth of ex-
hibits to be presented in this exposition, October
1890, will do for the cause of diversified
farming and increased food production. than any
conceivable amount of literature or lecturing. In
virtually every department of the Fair the exhibits
will be from fifty to a hundred per cent more nu-
merous this year than last. This is ascribable
partly to the greatly increased housing facilities
which the new buildings at Lakewood have pro-
vided and partly to the splendid reputation which
the Fair has won throughout the Southeast. There
is every indication, moreover that the attendance
from the State and section at large will excel even
the magnificent record of 1916. .-..s .
By no means will the Fair be limited to agriz
cultural and livestock displays, though they quite
naturally will be it's heart. The industrial exhibits
including the automobile show, would make nota-
BILE exposition within themselves. Especial efforts
too have been made to secure the best amusement
features obtainable in the United States, that
for iolity as we'll as for instruction the 1917 South
eastern Fair will set pattern and new
pace.

A Chen for PacifstS.

If anyone fancies that peace worthy the name is
possible with the red-handed unrepentant Hohen-
zollern autocracy, he will do we'll to chew and
digest these words from recent speech by former
President Taft:
He who proposes peace now either does
not see the stake for which the Allies fight
ing or wishes the German autocracy still to
control the destinies of all of to peace or
war. Those who favor permanent world peace
must oppose with might and main the proposals
for peace at this juncture in the war whether
made in Socalistic councils, in pro-German
conferences or by Pope Benedict"
That is the heart of the whole issue 1t is quite
natural that individuals newspapers who for any
reason are in sympathy with the Kaiser's and
wish "the German autocracy still to control the
destines Of all of u.s." should clamor for parley
Just when America is getting in position to make her
vast resources count decisvely in the 1t is quite
natural too, that persons who have not grasped
the breadth and nobility of the principles for which
the allied democraces fighting should fail to
why the Kaiser's tricky overtures should not be
accepted. But it is inconceivable that thought
full American who loves his country and under
stands it's ideals should stand for compromise of
principle that would amount to base and foolish
surrender. 1t is inconceivable that any American
who wants peace that will be righteous and en-
truce with an irresponsible autocracy whose whole
course has been and whose whole purpose will
be, ruthless war. ..-...
