K, but the papers generally come a

ing them all right.
We surely are in beautiful coun-
try. I have seen no place in the
states which can excel the scenery OF
this particular vicinity. At first France
did not appeal to me, for it constantly
rained from day to day, making things
rather disagreeable, but now the
weather is superb.
When | returned from school l was
put in charge of an observation post,
with eight men, and we are living a
life of solitude, for we seldom see
anyone from the company. Each

Inroads upon Class l of the select

woman in Annapolis. His trial took
place In Towson, Md, the county
seat of Baltimore county, and despite
tho fact that the attorneys for the
defense riddled the evidence that the
State brought forth in an effort to
prove Snowden guilty, the jury
brought in a verdict for murder in
the first degree.
The evidence was Of a flimsy cir
cumstantial character, several COL
ored persons testifying that they
thought they saw him leave the muir
dered woman's home. Against their
testimony was that of Rev. Dr. w. A..
&. Hughes n secretary in charge of
the colored work of the Board Of
Home Missions and Church Extension
Of the NJ. e. Church. Rev. Ernest
S. Williams OF Annapolis and the
mans white employer.
There is a widespread belief among
whites of Maryland that Snowden is
not guilty. This was evidenced by The
TACT that the State had his case NOV
cd from Annapolis where the alleged
murder occurred.
Co'ored people all over the State
have rallied to Snowdcn's, defense,
and should Il new trial be denied him
next Monday, his case will be taken
to the Court Of Appeals.

THE ART OF DEDUCTION.

TO deduce is to infer an opinion
from what has preceded or better,
it is to state that which you know not,
based Oh that which you know or,
moro often, think you know. The
minds OF most adults have been so
poisoned by beforehand opinion and
prejudice that We are safe in ignoring
all deductions made by ono person
about the other. The deductions of
children are innocent and amusing
most or the time but are just as far
off the track as the average adult
deduction. A certain bright and in
telligcnt little miss OF six summers

Biblical knowledge and also things
OF the carnal world. AS most OF us
do. she acquired a knowledge of the
worldly affairs faster than things Of
the Kingdom. She was asked by her
teacher, in the course of Scriptural
catechism, "Who killed Christi" ThA
bright little one thought O minui
and then came the answer, "rfS3z
Germans!" The teacher was sur
prised and corrected the answer, att
the same time asking her why. She|
said that all the killing that she had
heard Of Was being done by those
bad, bad Germans. Her deduction
was that since they were responsible
for many Killings, the GERMANS
HAD KILLED CHRIST, TOO!

Airplane Equipment.

There are several kinds of airplanes
used in the military service and their
equipment varies according to whether
they are intended chiefly for scouting,
for bomb dropping or for gun fighting.
On most Of the machines of the last
named or battleAhip type, machine
gun il 30 fitted as to point along the
axis Of the machine. The pilot, who
IL alone, directs the nose Of his air
plane at the enemy and fires across the
propeller. Two plans were tried for
preventing the propeller from being
broken by the bullets. The first con-
sisted Of stopping the machine gun
whenever the propeller came within
the field Of fire, but experience showed
that frequent stopping of the gun with
the propellers making 1,20O revolutions
. minute ends N putting the gun out
Of order. Designers then placed steel
plates on those parts Of the propellefs
likely to be struck and these plates
turn the bullets that strike the pro
peller. It is mathematically calculated
that only one bullet in Is is wasted In
that way.
