FASCINATION OF AIR LIFE
First Trip In Army AirpIane Ia
Thriller Apart From Everything
Else in Life, Says Filler.

An aviation student in one of the
Western schools declares that the
sensation Of the first trip in one Of
the governments aircraft is not to be
compared with anything else he ever
experienced. He explained it thus.
Il wish | had the ability to deScrib"
the fascination of this work of learn
ing to be the cavalry of the air, or
eyes of the army, or anything else opn
chooses to call us.
Let me tell you that your first trip
in an airplane is u thing apart, abso-
lutely new and different from any e7-
perience that you ever had
You climb into the bus with your
sweater and your leather helmet and
goggles, looking like something you
would throw raw fish to If you saw it
in Il cage, and the lieutenant shoves on
the power and you go Dumping and
bouncing along the ground with big
wind in your face and the prop spin
ming out in front like a Dutch wind
mill gone crazy.
Then suddenly the bumps are gone
and you go whirring swiftly and stead
lily up into the clear air and sunshine
and the earth falls away like fade
away on Il movie screen and the fool
ish little people on the ground turn up
their white faces at you as you go
over.
Il hope l don't get humps or liver
fs.Nr ,1,it,
keep me out of it all. This is my pet
fear more than that of taking q fall

UNLUCKIEST CITY OF WORLD
Baadad, Where British Are Now Firm.
iy Established, Has Been Drenched
in Blood of Citizens.

Bagdad, where the British are now
firmly established, has well earned its
reputation of the worlds unluckiest
city, according TO a writer In Pear
sons Not square iIlsh Of the soil
on which 1t stands but has been soaked
with the blood of Its citizens.
When the Mongols, under their ter
rible Chief Hulaga, took the city In
1858, 100000 Of its inhabitants were
put to death. Worse still, Hulaga
ruined the whole system of irrigation
canals which made Mesopotama per-
hups the richest country in the world,
thereby destroying the work of 800
generations in as many hours"
In 1893 Timur the Tartar sacked the
city. He killed all its inhabitants,
save only the holy men, and 10000
skulls were piled up in pyramids be-
fore the walls.
The PersianS, under Shan Abbas,
captured Bagdad in 1923, after des-
perate resistance, and in revenge he
ordered 500 of the principal citizens
10 be tortured TO death in public, the
executions lasting over an entire week
Three hundred others were executed
by hanging them head downward in
the city's 800 wells, thereby poisoning
he water supply.

Sheep-kiIiing Parrots at Large.

Not long ago no little CONSERVATION
was created by the escape at San Fran
cisco of two keas, or sheep-killing par
rots. which were being shipped from
Australia to the Smithsonian institu-
ton, at Washington, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The birds liberated
themselves by splintering the Stats of
their wooden crates with their power
ful beakS. The federal authorities
offered a reward of 500 for each bird
taken dead or alive. This species of
parrot has made itself an enemy of
man in both Australia and New Zea-
land by Staying sheep for the sake Of
eating parts of the flesh, of which i.
is very fond, and there bounties are
paid for killing the birds.

WIRELESS FOR ALL TO HEAR
instrument No Larger Than Fountain
Pen Enables One to Pick Up
Messages Nearby.

The fountain pen" wireless receiv-
er is an established fact, for through
the use of the audion bulb DR.. Lee De
Forest has perfected a little in&tru-
ment, no larger than some of the eX-
tra-size fountain pens in use by men
with heavy hands, through which it is
possible for man to pick up wireless
messages at distances up to eight or
ten miles, says the Illustrated World
The instrument depends entirely
upon the audion bulb for its efficiency.
The audion bulb, as most Of those
interested in wireless knows, made
feasible the recent longdiStance mes
sages sent out from Washington, and
its use for communication by wire also
made feasible the now common trans
continental telephoning between New
York and San Francisco.
The entire principle of the audion
bulb is to amplify sound waves, and
by making n bulb small enough to be
placed In the end of the fountain. pen
tube Doctor De Forest has literally
made it possible for any man =. the
street" to pick up whatever wireless
communication may be going on in his

GUESSING THE WOMEN'S AGES
New Game Among Cape Steamship
Passengers Stirred Up Wrath
of Entire Party.

To relieve the monOtony of q recent
homeward voyage, the smoking-saloon
habitues Of Cape steamship invented
a new sweepstake. The bright idea
originated during a debate as to the
age of one of the women passengers.
Lets take all the women in the pas
senger list" suggested the sportsman
who thought of the sweepstake, ''and
-eucf OF US guess tireir inaivfdun ages,
add up the total, and hand his esti-
mate to the purser. The purser has
exact information in the age declara-
ton of every passenger. He can add
up the true aggregate, and the man
who comes nearest to 1t takes the
pool"
The sweepstake was carried out,
but, so far from beguiling the tedium
of a voyage it made 1t worse, relates
a correspondent, for 1t ended in GER
tain number Of embittered men, a
wrathful purser, and ships company
of suspicious and quarreling women.
First Of all, the women saloon pes
sengers could not understand, and
much resented, men passengers walk
ing round their chairs, making calcu-
lations with pencils, studying their
hairs and compilations with perturb-
ing curiosity.
Then, when the sweep was drawn,
the mean man was embittered who had
secretly gone round to most of the
women passengers and tried TO elicit
their ages. The mean mans aggregate
estimate was 450 years under the win
ner's guess. The innocent man was
also embittered who had gone round
to women asking them to give him
their judgment as TO other women's q.
ages. The innocent mans estimate
was 900 years above the winners
guess.
And the purser was most embittered
of all, for not one woman passenger
would speak to him the rest of the
gOyape

One TROPICAL SPOT,

Only at one place in the United
States is there real tropical vegeta-
ton, says the Popular Science Month
ly. Florida and California have what
IS called "sub-tropical' vegetation. In
the midst of a desert in the extreme
southern part of California is true
oasis. The oasis, Palm Springs, lies
$50 feet below the sea level. so hot
IS 1t there that there is riot Of vege-
tation all the year round. Enormous
fig trees and mammoth grape fruit
and oranges are always to be had.
The lemons that grow there weigh
two and q half pounds apiece. The
responsibility for all this may be laid
to a beautiful little stream which is
fed by the Colorado river and which
flows through the oasis only 10 disap-
pear into the ground at It's end.

KAISER'S BIRTH CAUSED JOY
Queen Victoria, Upon Receipt Of Teie-

Not Maintain Usual Dignity.

Anecdotes about the royal family
are usually rather fiat, but here Is
good story of Queen Victoria, relates
d correspondent, the ironic and tei-
rible commentary on which she mer-
cifully did not live to see:
THE queen, whom we had so late

flying with the eagerness Of young
girl, and SO rapid was her movement.
and so joyous her expression, 1t was
plain that her suite had much diff

she suddenly waved aloft a telegram
form that she was holding in her hand,
and called out in triumphant tones,

her attendants at such unconventiOn-
ality: Lady Login! Lady Login! I

DEPORTlNG A WHOLE NATION
Kaiser, In Action Toward Belgium, 10
Partly Following Style First Set
by King Sareon.

Only few years ago, comparative
ly, the great King Sargon was held by
critics to be biblical myth, a monarch
who never ruled AsSyria, but eXcava-
tons in that ancient land COMPOUNDED
the alleged historical experts, says the
Newark News. And now comes alOns
no less an authority than John Dyne-
ley Prince, former statesman of New
Jersey, master of some twenty ancient
and modern tongues, and head of &
department in Columbia university,
calling attention to the fact that Sar-
son first set the style OF deporting a
whole nation that is being partly fol-
lowed by the kaiser in Belgium.
1t was some 1900 years ago that
Surgon carried the ten tribes of Israel
out of the promised land and filled up
their country with Arabs and tribes
from northern Asia Minor, and he did
such good job that the Jews never
came back. History, however, does
not always repeat itself, as witness
the return from captivity of the Jews
released from Babylonia through Cy-
rus the Persian.

Can't Lose Glasses.

Military eyeglasses Is the contribu-
ton to the field of war inventions by
DR.. Robert J. James, well-known Sc
attic physician and surgeon.
The outstanding features of the new
eyeglasses, according to the inventor,
are: They cannot be Jared loose from
their places even under the most severe
treatment, the Tightening hold on the
nose, which is injurious to ones health
and comfort, Is eliminated and gives
way to three natural points Of suspen-
sion, and the glasses may be removed
with one hand.
The glasses have two extensions at
either side Of the face slightly above
the eye. The small plate at the end of
the extensions holds the glasses firm
and does not rest on any vital nerve or
blood vessel, as is the case when the
Anly point of suspension is at the nose.
