At a soldiers camp in Texas there

and sign language. he declared he
wanted to 60 to France right away
and bayonet the kaiser all by himself.

MAKES STEEL HEAL ITSELF
Remarkable Machine Designed and
Constructed In French Workshop
During the War.

One of the most remarkable ma
chimes ever built is in operation at the
great workshop In France. where the
Royal Flying corps repairs its damaged
alrplanes. This machine, the only one
Of its kind. which was both conceived
and constructed In that workshop, is
described by Gustave Babin in ILLUS
tration as one that makes wounded
steel heal itself in exactly the same
way as wounded flesh heals.
It is almost automatic, is operated
by electricity and uses galvanism as
its principle. It needs only one or two
men to watch it, they being guided by
a chart, showing in many colors the
piece of metal to be repaired, the ex.
act repairs necessary, the composition
of the galvanic bath. the current need.
ed. the diameter Of the wires that con.
duct 1t and the time Of Immersion. All
this is worked out Mechanically Ia
the minutest fraction and the machine
does the rest.
It Is used for restoring worn OF
broken parts Of delicate motors. most
Of which are difficult to replace. When
n. Babin saw 1t there were lying on
the table beside It parts It had Just
repaired that would have cost $1,000
and much time to replace. In the
previous week It had turned out 500
pieces. all Of great importance. fol-
nothing less IL con6ded to It.

LIVED LONG IN WILD STATE
Alredaie Dog for Several Years Main.
: talnsd Wild Predatory State Ii
the Yellowstone Park.

An instance Of a dogs return to tho
savage state Of his wolf ancestry
came to light In February In the yell
lowstone National park when Scout
Anderson's report Of q trip into the
Buffalo Fork country contained, under
the heading of predatory animals
killed, mention Of one mountain lion.
one bobcat, four coyotes and an Aire-
dale dog.
This dog. which probably wandered
into the park from some farm or set.
Element a few miles over the border.
has been living In the Yellowstone in
a wild state for several years.
Whether or not he fraternized with his
cousins the wolves and the coyotes
can not be known certainly. No doubt
he lived as they live, at the expense
Of young and weaker deer and elk. and
smaller prey. Probably he lived alone,
against all animal kind as they were
against him. There are well.authenti.
Gated instances Of dogs thus returning
to savage nature. It speaks well for
his tenacity and strength that, alone
Of his kind in a country where all
kinds Of wild animals live still their
natural lives. he survived. He may
have been a dog Of good pedigree.
Anyway, the dog had been seen at
intervals for several years and was
officially classed among the animals
which, alone Of all Yellowstone's ani-
mails, are sought and killed because
destructive of the harmless animasp
which make Of this national park the
best-populated wlld-animal preserve In
the world.

BEES FOR WAR MESSENGERS
Their Employment 10 Said to Have
Gone Far Beyond the Range
Of Probability.

A secret long cherished in the Brit.
fish war department has Just been dis.
covered-the use Of bees as messen.
gers.
No longer will the aide de camp
spur his staggering horse through shot
and shell to carry the message to the
front. Instead he will don his gloves
and mask, and, going to the portable
beehive back of headquarters, seize
one Of the faithful little insects, and
send the well-trained messenger
through the air.
Whoever possesses a receiving outfit
can read the secrets Of the wireless
one can cut the wires Of the ordinary
telegraph, and the pigeon does not ii.
ways escape the bullet.
Therefore, other means have been
sought In America. the general stan
dreams Of using as dispatch bearer
the bee.
The bee, like the carrier pigeon,
guided by ito marvellous instinct, re-
turns to the hive from wherever he
may be liberated. Tiny dispatches,
which can be deciphered with the mag.
Aifying glass, can b attached to its
breast.
But something better still has beeu
found. By IN ingenious process the
wings Of the tiny insect are sensitised.
and By means o. microscopic photog.
raphy the message 10 imprinted there.

HAVE TRADITIONS OF GLORY
Heroic Memories Of the Past Insplrs

deeds In past wars, for the traditions
that have come down through genera

Waterloo. or Inkermann. or at the

But the history Of that regiment

the whole world. England boosted
about twenty varieties Of glass. The
