MOST DEADLY AERIAL BOMB
viii Explode Six Feet Above Ground,
No Matter From What Height
II May Be Dropped.

An aerial bomb which explodes
about six feet above the ground, re.
CARELESS of the height from which it
Is dropped, has been tested out by the
ordnance department, and probably
will be manufactured in large numbers.
The novel feature Of ne bomb,
which is described in Popular Science,
Monthly, is that it explodes before II
hits the ground. whether it is dropped
from a height Of 2,OO9 or 10000 feet.
The difficulty with bombs used Is that
they have been fired by contact with
the ground, burying themselves in the
earth before exploding. Thus 80 per
cent Of the force of a bomb dropped
on ordinary ground is expended against
earth, instead Of scattering it's frag.
ments over a wide area above ground.
Inventors have been aware of this de-
ficiency Of the pear-shaped bomb for a
long time. The idea uppermost in their
minds has been to develop a bomb that
would explode head high and whose
bursting fragments would cover a wide
circle before reaching the ground. So
far as Is known, no foreign country
has such a bomb In Its possession.
The bomb which comes closest to
realizing the maximum of efficiency, as
the ordnance department interprets
that term, Is this bomb, devised by
Mr.. Barlow.

Heavy Earthquake Shock.

An earthquake occurred on October
20, 1870, and was felt very sensibly
over northeastern America, from New
Brunswick to Iowa, and from the River
St. Lawrence to Cincinnati. Some of
the large stores and factories in New
York city were 10 badly shaken that
employees rushed into the streets.
Further north 1t was more pronounced.
At Montreal bells were rung in the
swaying steeples Of public buildings,
and In Quebec chimneys were thrown
down. Several Of the pdblic.schools II
New York were dismissed, teacher
and pupils Joining in hasty flight, the
Valls Of buildings were shaken and
furniture was moved from its place.

TWO Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named
In honor Of Sergeant Jasper of the
Revolutionary army because of his spe.
cial patriotism and bravery. He was a
sergeant in a South Carolina regiment
and in the attack on Fort Moultrie,
early In the war, the Flagstaff was shot
OF and the flag fell to the bottom of
the ditch outside of the works. Jump
ing from n Of the embrasures, Jasper
mounted the colors, tied them to a
staff and held them in position under a
hot fire until another Flagstaff was
brought. For this a commission was
offered him but he declined It through
distrust Of his qualifications. On an
other occasion he and another sergeant
named Newton attacked a British
guard Of ten men and released some
prisoners the guard were conveying to
Savannah. A township in Jasper coun-
~ 10 named Newton In honor Of Jas
per's companion on this occasion. A
county In Georgia and a central square
In Savannah help to perpetuate Jas
per's name. He was killed at Savannah
near the close of the war.

What the German government means
by a "place in the sun" Is the extermi-
nation Of the peoples whose soil It
covets so that Germans may replace
those that have been exterminated.
The systematic destruction of civil,
ians in Belgium, northern France. Po-
land, Serbia, and the actual enslave-
ment Of the survivors proves 1.-THE
frequently boosted German policy Of
blood and from and the Flynn Of
Hate" which has become a national
hymn, proclaims 1t.
From the rudimental condition Of
ancient b%arbarism, a spiritual develop
ment was possible; from the accom-
plished inhumanity of Prussianism, q
more rigid inhumanity only is possible.
A German victory would mean the
blight Of what we call civilization and
the elimination Of what we believe d.
vine In a What we believe In,
what we cherish, what we are, would
be annihilated by the essence Of Prus-
sianism; our world would be destroyed
by Prussic acid.

What have we in common to
us to rise at the call of q common i'm
pulse and prepare to die for a common
cause7 1t would be easy to formulate
the characteristic dreams Of the Rus
sian, the Italian, the Belgian, the
Scotch, the Irish or the Portuguese. It
would be possible to catch the CLEAN Of
idealism which has given to the French
the glorious title Of the Hero Nation"
But none Of these would suffice. We
must take q cross section Of all Of
them, and a dozen more, to formulate
the ideals which course In common
through them all after they have been
united into what we call America. For
It Is common ideals which have trans
formed the men and women Of all these
races and kindreds and tongues into
nation, which stands today facing
the grim fact of war, a wal to which
no man dare call them in the name of
race, or language, or previous allegi-
ance.
World Citizenship.
The President has placed our inter-
vention in this war upon q plane Of
idealism to which every citizen, Of
whatever race, may rally without los
ing hold upon the best traditions Of
the land from which his ~forefathers
have ONE. 1t is not the call Of q ar
row nationalism, but the call Of world
citizenship.
Our entrance into this war Is no con-
cesslon to the accused gospel Of force
and fraud. We wish nothing for our
selves, but have resolved Ito quote the
oft quoted words of u President)
that "the world must be made safe for
democracy-and its peace-planned
upon the trusted basis Of political lib
erty." We scorn the idea that might
Is right" but we r willing to take
u part in policing the world against

"HoW High Your IdeaIsf"
History will not ask us or any other
nation, "How big was your armyT but
"How high were your idealsp Not

Policeman Copied the Name.

A throng of boys gathered in front
OF a bakery and became involved In
an argument over the ownership. of a
baseball bat. Their method Of arguing
involved throwing something else, and

ter the boys had fed and inquired re.

daughters may take courses In cook
ing, sewing and other domestic
branches; 1t employs it's own staff of
surgeons, physicians, oculists and den
lists, who attend to the wants Of the
members free of any charges save per-
haps for the material used in filling
teeth or the lenses prescribed for the
correction or aid Of sight; 1t also
maintains its own hospital, a sanitari.
UNI for consumptives, and an asylum
for the insane. All these advantages
belong to each and every member, not
as a matter Of charity but as a matter
Of right. He pays his dues of $1.50
a month and thereby becomes a part.
ner in the organization. and is entitled
to any of these privileges he desires.
These mutual~aid and benefit fea-
lures are not peculiar to the "Centro
de Dependencies" alone; several Of
the other "centros" have practically
the same features. OF all of them, the
"Centro Gallego" Is the largest and
wealthiest. It~has a membership Of
$4,000, an annual income Of over ST.
100000. aad is housed in a p~alatial
structure that cost over $1,000,000.
The second largest is the "Centro AS
%turiano," which has q membership of
$1,000, composed chiefly Of Spaniards,
but with q considerable Cuban con-
tingent that is also represented on
the governing board. IT has one of
the handsomest buildings in Havana
for Its home, covering an entire square
and including one of the best theaters
in the city. Some of the "centros,"
such as the "Balear" and "Castellano,"
admit women as well as men to mem
bership, and for an additional fee of
so cents a month give medical aid to
other members Of the family Of q
member. Although the medical serv-
ices rendered are the chief attractions
of these latter institutions, they also
have a clubhouse in addition to the
sanitarium.
In addition to the ~"centros," Havana
has a large number of other clubs that
differ in no material respect from the
typical social, athletic and political
clubs Of other large cities. For the
sake Of convenience these may be d.
vided into city and country clubs.
Among the former the foreign clubs
occupy an important position, and of
these the Spanish Casino is the larg-
est; second comes the American club,
founded in 1902, which has steadily
grown in. membership until it has
something over 300. 1t occupies a
well-appointed building on the Prado,
Havana's beautiful boulevard, and
has all the typical modern club fea-
lures that are found in similar social
organizations in the United States.
Among other foreign clubs are two
Chinese, which include in their mrm-
bership the important persons of that
race.
OF the strictly social clubs, the old
est and most exclusive is the Union
club, a Cuban organization, which Is
restricted to men only and to whose
functions the ladies are lever invited.

Sycamore FIG Tree Common.

IN Arabia and Egypt one Of the COM
monest Of trees Is the sycamore fig,
which bears a fruit that is unique and
inexplicable In that 1t seems to serve
Eno other purpose than that Of sup
plying q nesting place for a certain
wasp, and the wasp seems to have no
other reason for existence than the
ripening Of the figs, according to the
Baltimore Sun. The fruit, which is a
heshy receptacle holding a large num-
Der Of tiny flowers inside It. grows in
clusters upon leafiess branches of old
wood; 1t never attains more than two
and a half inches long by n and
three-Quarters wide, is tasteless and
only partially edible: but as 1t may be
found at all times of the year 1t is
greatly esteemed by the natives.
