guide him he does not bother much with
the diverting forces of air currents; he
simply swings his machine about from
time to time in order to bring Its head
TO bear in the direction Of his destination.
Manifestly this procedure would not suf-
fee in flying from here to Europe.
The surface Of the water would not
help him out IL he relied upon his un-
aided eyes. To make the sea serve as d
corrective agency an American inventor,
Elmer A. Sperry, has devised what Is
known as synchronized drift set, which
utilizes the visible wave movement or sue
cession of movements to warn pilot how
his machine is being drifted or forced
sidewise from the desired course. There
are two things, however, that initiate
against the use of such an instrument
when travelling above the open sea.
First, the aviator would be at a loss
during periods of reduced visibility-low
lying fog or mist would obscure his view
Of the underlying water-and the same
drawback would confront him in a meas
ure during night flying, especially if the
moon were obscured. Then wave crests
might be of choppy character, with a
confused movement, and this state of the
sea would add very considerably to the
pilots task of establishing his real adj
vance in relation to the earth beneath
him.
The accuracy of his observation by
means of the drift set depends funda-
mentally upon the pilots knowing the
actual direction in which the wind is
blowing. This he can determine with
reasonable accuracy when leaving the
land, but he may lose himself and mis-
judge the direction after he is out of sight

Kaiser Seeks Secret of a Grave

CHELLING by the Germans of the
- Monastery of Mont des Cats, in Bel
GUM, continues despite the Kaiser's plea
to the army commanders that the struc-
ture be spared. The request of the All
Highest was purely personal and was
based on the fear that the aged Prior of
the monastery might be killed and with
his death would go the secret of the burial
place of Prince Macmillan of Hesse, the
Kaiser's nephew. In the whole inciden.
rests one of the real stories Of the war.
Back in 1914 Prince Max, then only 20
years old, was reported dead-slain by his
own men. Investigation proved that he
had been badly wounded and was being
cared for by the Trappist Fathers in the
Monastery des Cats. Then came cir
The sun., 1918-07-21

cumstantial story of his death and burial,
it being said the Kaiser's nephew lay in a
grave with some of his own men and with
three British officers.
Kaiser William wrote to the Pope ask
ing his Holiness TO request the Prior to
return the Princes body to Germany that
it might rest in the family crypt. The
spirited Prior, though well along in years,
said the Princes burial place only would
be revealed when the Germans had left
Belgium and had restored its shattered
churches. There the matter rested until
the Flanders advance this year, when the
monastery again came under the German
fire.
Prince Macmillan was the son of the
Princess Marguerite, the Kaiser's sister.

of land and has been driven unwittingly
off his course.
1t has been suggested in order to lessen
the hazards Of going astray that destroy
ers or other vessels be stationed along
the route. These would be discernible dur
ing the daytime and located at night by
reason of signal lights which they would
carry. In time Of war, especially after
dark, help offered in this way might be
the means Of betraying the beacon craft
to lurking submarine.
On the other hand, as many transat-
lantic vessels 60 east by following an
ocean lane which takes them close to
the Azores, it might be better for the
flying machines TO accept these accidental
aids and not expect any regular provi-
sion for their guidance. 1t is conceiv-
able that the airplane and the ships below
might communicate with one another and
the aviator check up his position much
as passing ships so frequently do.
But probably one of the best solutions
of the problem lies in adapting sugges-
tion made by Rear Admiral Bradley A.
Fiske. He has proposed that the air
craft should keep In touch with the earth
by drawing behind it a small body float
ing upon the water. Admiral Fiske's plan
would combine the threefold function Of
recording distance covered after the man
ner of a ships mechanical log, or provid-
ing physical contact with the earth, so
to speak, and of furnishing q visible
index of the influence of air currents in
forcing the flying machine laterally from
its intended compass course.
Admiral Fiske has suggested that the
machine fly at about 100 feet above the
water This would enable the pilot to

USE OF HORSE MEAT
 INCREASING IN PARIS

PARIS, March 19.-The extended sale of horse meat is one of the means counted upon by the city authorities to relieve the provisions market. The sale of horse flesh for many years has been considerable in the populous quarters of Paris and it has increased considerably during the war. Last year 43,384 horses were killed at the Vaugirard slaughter houses. The in creased supply of horse meat had no depressing effect upon prices how ever
 The British army is now the chief source of supply of horses for kill ing. More than 12,O00 horses were received from that source last year. yet the prices went from the equiva- lent of 2S cents a pound to 40 cents for ordinary cuts and from S5 cents to 5O cents pounds for the choice bits of horse flesh

CHAPTER X

John L. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell met for the first time in Madison Square Garden, New York, May IA, 1883. The bout was scheduled to go for four rounds. Conditions of the agreement provided that the win ner was to receive 65 per cent of the net receipts and the loser to take 35 per cent.
 The bout didn't go the four rounds through interference by the police, but it certainly was a warm session while it lasted, and would have been fin ished in the dressing rooms had not friends of the boxers stepped between them when they started after each other following a wordy argument
 Mitchell weighed only slightly more than 16O pounds when he took his place in the ring the night of the fight, but he was trained to the minute He was a wonderfully built boxer and his size could scarcely be counted against him. Compared to him Sullivan loom ed like mountain. He weighed more than 200 pounds and wheezed like a bellows when over-exerted. He was hog-fat and not trained at all
 Nevertheless, when the fighters took their corners Sullivan's expression was one of contempt He sneered across at his opponent and his face wore the infuriated, scowling visage
The Cordova daily times., 1918-03-19

that he always affected when about to go into action.
 In the first round Sullivan continued in contemptuous manner toward his smaller opponent, and for the amuse- ment of the crowd, condescended D use only his left hand against Mitchell. Mitchill. however, was an extraordi- narily clever man, much more clever than any boxer Sullivan had yet been called on to face, and catching the numbering champion standing with his heels together and with his head thrown back. the wiry Englishman dashed inside the champions guard, clipped him on the cin, and down went Sullivan, floored Cleanly for the first time in his life.
 Sullivan arose raging. He rushed Mitchell and battered him about the ring. When time was finally called .NlltCiiCii HHo IohliAS CNCl ChIAlS DullI- van had to offer, but undoubtedly was in some distress.
 Sullivan's anger did not leave him When the second round opened he again charged Mitchell The English man was almost smothered by the fail ing arms of the furious champion. Lefts and rights rained on his head He was thrown from one side of the ring to the other by the terrific punches. He did, however, manage to plant several solid blows to the Sulli- van midriff and they were slowing up the fat Sullivan.
 The third round was merely a repe- titi0n. Sullivan, panting desperately, charging around lite a wild man, was using his fists like clubs. Finally Capt. Alex. Williams of the police de. partment stopped the bout, with the declaration that he did not want to see Mitchell killed. In the dressing rooms afterward Mitchell charged that friends of Sullivan had stopped the fight to save Sullivan, and offered to finish it. Sullivan was agreeable, but friends stopped them.
