Telescope and Spirit Level
Part of Air Raiders Outfit

If bomb be dropped from an air
plane 10000 feet up, and travelling at
speed of 100 miles an hour. it
reaches the ground considerable dis.
tance ahead of the point at which it
was released, and the difficulty OF
judging how to hit particular build
ing is enormous.
A machine invented to assist the
raiders has been found on a captured
Gotha. The main feature, says the
London Tit-Bits, is telescope hung
on gilnbals and pointing through the
floor of the bomber's compartment. In
connection with this is form of splr-
it level which brings bubble into the
center of Il glass disk when the trle-
scope is vertical, so that the bomber
knows when it is in the position that
can be trusted. Below the telescOpe
is prism, SO that the image seen is
not an object directly underneath, but
at any desired distance ahead, accord
Ing 10 the angle at which it is set
For instance, if the airplane is 10000
feet up, and the speed is such that the
bomb must be released half a mile
from the object, the prism has to be
set at an angle Of Is degrees. Even
then the calculation is liable to error,
because the density of different layers
of air may vary.

NOTHING BUT SHEER WISDOM
Possibly Auntys Idea in Burning
Chicken Feathers Was to Destroy
Circumstantial Evidence.

The dainty and Winsome heiress OF
/ Kentucky planter, recently graduated
from a fashionable northern seminary,
was dev0ting the morning of the first
day of her return to the old homestead
renewing acquaintance with her IA
theirs dar!y retainers "doWn among
the quarters" AS she entered one Of
the cabins she saw old Aunt Martha,
born in slavery during the life of the
young lady's grandfather, bending over
broad log fire, carefully burning,
piece by piece, a bunch of chicken
feathers.
"Aunt Martha" inquired the young
lady, after watching the work Of the
ex-slave few moments in silence,
why do you burn those feathers so
carefully and Systematically? Is it be-
.:.::. cause of So some religious idea or a su-
perstition?'

Distinctive Products.

There is always an advantage when
a community gets reputation for
some particular kind of product
Stock raisers say that the farmers
make a mistake in dividing up their
interests among so many different
breeds. If those in one locality would
agree to specialize: on one variety of
cattle, their neighborhood would
acquire a reputation for that type.
Buyers wishing that breed would come
from long distance to look over the
stock. ::..
johnson county, Missouri, is one To-
cality that has worked along that line
In one day a breeder of shorthorn
cattle disposed of 50 bulls, cows and
calves for $1,000. This could not have
been done in Il locality that had at
tanned no reputation for some distinc-
tive product.
The same results are attained by
growers Of fruit. Whenever the pro-
ducers Of any section can acquire a
reputation for growing some particular
thing in distinctive way, they at
tract buyers from long distance, and
accomplish more than they can by
scattering their efforts.
The same idea works on all kinds of
manufactured products. When town
becomes known as a center for GER
tain type Of industry, people come to it
as a center for that particular thing.
\ town or an agricultural district
may well keep in view two ends: First.
to diversity its industry to Il certain
point, 50 that when conditions are
dull in some industries and not in
others, it will not be wholly fiat. Sec
Ond to specialize in some line of ayri-
culture or manufacturing production,
and to work to make that thing dis
tinctive product. Young men seeking
to start in business should be encOur-
aged to enter that particular line. so
that the community should gradually
tend to acquire its own distinct product
for which it shall be noted.

Time and again the question. "Why
is it necessary for the United States
to recruit men for the Army does not
the draft take care of all the needs. Of
the various branches of the Service''
is put up to recruiting officers through
out the stare. TO Il large extent the
draft does take care Of the needs of
various branches Of the SERVICE but if
every registered man in the country
were in uniform today. it would still
be necessary to continue active recruit
ing to keep the armies up to their full
fighting strength. to fill the gaps which
widen rapidly when troops get into
action and to supply specialized men
for work behind the lines
In every army today about one man
in every five is a fighting man. At all
times anywhere from 80 to so per cent
OF the men composing an army are
known as ''ineffectuals'' a large per
cent OF that number are temporarily
lncapacitated for service The number
of ineffectuals varies from day to day,
but is always a formidable portion of
an army.
Army officials have found by exper-
lence that it is cheaper and easier to
train recruits for the Regular Army
by putting them with organiza tons in
the field in the proportion of one re-
cruit to two seasoned soldiers than by
training them alone The u s. Regu-
lars are generally conceded to be one
of the finest, if not the finest, body of
trained troops in the world Men in
the draft age cannot get into the Reg
ular Army, but are equally well train
ed before being sent into action. The
ranks of the Regulars have been con-
siderably thinned by recent action in
France, and they can only be filled by
voluntary cnlistments. All the coast
defenses Of the United States are
manned by Regulars. The Insular
possessions and the Panama Canal are
guarded at all times by the Regular
Army, and this work must be kept up
during the war as we'll as at other
times.
'"There will be no let up to recruiting
in: this country during the war;, ac-
cording to Major John D. Yost, Re-
cruiting Officer Of the Minnesota
District, 'in fact it will be pushed
harder than ever from now on.

About the Sun.

"Sun" is among the words contained
In the latest issued sections of the
Oxford English dictionary. Eleven
closely printed columns are devoted to
it.. 1t is quite interesting to find that
the kaiser's famous phrase, "Place in
the sum- originated with Pascal, who
used it to illustrate the beginnings of
tyranny. Yet another well-known
phrase, "On which the sun never sets,"
was apparently first used in connection
with the Spanish empire 800 years ago.
Its first application to the British en-
pire was made in the way Of a joke
by Thackeray in the pages Of Punch.
