Camera for AvlatorA.

One Of the new devices by which
European war aviators obtain cor
rect photograph of the enemies posi-
ton is a camera operated with trig.
ger like pistol. 1t can take clear
and distinct photographs for military
purposes at an altitude of 900 feet or
more. The aviator takes aim and pulls
the trigger as though firing revolver.
The pistol camera was invented by the
Germans, but one of them was found
on board an aeroplane brought down
BY the French. 1t was so simple and
effective that 1t was copied In large
numbers for French aviators.

"It's Brown and Little," sighed the toward the landing place. The ma
 chine circled and perched. "That you Brown?" the Commander demanded anXiously. Everything all right ?"
 He didn't ask whether they had reached their objective, or whether they had droppd their bombs. Were his boys all righto
 Brown and Little are all right,
 sir" came the reply.
 Ten times more the same thing hap pened, the planes sometimes arriving
 in groups. One pilot and his observ-
 er were still out We waited long time and they didn't appear The Commander took himself off tc be
 alone, and the other officers whisper
 ed quietly among themselves. There was tragedy in the air. Two of the
 accounted for.
 Meantime this pilot and observer were struggling to win hundrad-to-
 one chance against them with death
 as the penalty for failure. Out over the German lines their engine went dead while they were at a height of perhaps four thousand feet. They drop ped thousand feet and then the pilot
 got his engine working again spas
 medically. Up they crawled to their former altitude with their nose to-
 wards home, and then tie engine gave a final gasp and died.
 All the probabilities were that they
 would crash and be smashed to pieces.
 There was only one thing which could possibly prevent it, and that was an iron nerve in the pilots box. He
 coolly started to coast westwards. On
 he came until his signal lights showed clearly to the watchers in the aero
 drome. It was light the flight of a phantom machine, with it's soundless
 engine. The pilot got near the aero drome then hesitated. He was lost and
 led rapidly. He signalled wildly and
 a score of answering lights flashed
 back. He swerved and came swoop- ing down into the aercdrome, saved by few yards.
 The men were all back and we went to the Commanders office to hear them
 give their reports. They entered in twos and threes, their helmets pushed
 back, but still wearing their bulk y gar
 ments that made them look like Ar tic explorers. or "teddybears," But what a change in their demeanor.
 They were no longer the laughing,
 testing crowd of two hours before.
 They wdre pale and haggard, and
 their eyes were strained and brilliant No need for them to say what they had been through. Thir faces told the story.
 One by enc thev told briefly what they had done. They had, or they
 had not. reached their objective. The
 Hun hate? Very bad, indeed. but not
 a subject for discussion. Their re- ports were taken and they moved
 quietly away. They wanted to be alone.
 The Bostonian paused for moment by The Associated Press correspond ent. The big youth still wore a smile. but he was subdued. The chauffeur"
 had had a hard trip that night. He
