IIncLe Ike Perkins Dead

l. G. Perkins, familiarly known as
"Uncle Ike" died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. William Woody, in
Seattle, August 8. About 80 years
ago Mr.. Perkins came to Idaho and
settled in Emmett with his family.
Since that time he has buried his
wife, three daughter and one son.
Since the death of his wife he has
made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Woody. He was during his early
residence in Emmett a preacher and
was pastor of the local Baptist church

Pertaining nature, he always had a
host of friends about him and was the
life of gathering. Many Emmett

Burden War Officials
If the dreams of numerous British
amateur inventors who have been be-
sieging the ministry of munitions
could be realized, the war would have
been over long since and little would
be left of the German army. Re-
cent proposals include the following
Freeze the clouds and mount artil-
lery thereon.
Train cormorants to fly to Essen to
pick the mortar from Krupp's walls
so that they will crumble.
Trail from balloons monster mag
nets that would snatch rifles from the
hands of the German soldiers.
Perch men on shells to steer them.
A suggestion often submitted is to
attach a searchlight to an anti-air-
craft gun, project the light on a
Gotha and shoot along the beam. IN
fortunately, shells will not follow a
path of light.
Other schemes of dealing with hos
| tile aircraft are to suspend heavy
guns from captive ballons; to arm de-
Tense airplanes with scythes; to pro-
vide heat rays for setting Zeppelins
on fire, and to cover the moon with a
big black ballon. To prevent polished
rails shining at night and acting as
guide to enemy aircraft, the last
coach of the last train is to drop
backing on them.
A shell containing gravel is to lay
pathway over mud, and another,
containing an irritant powder or a
sticky substance, is to hamper ma
chine guns.
The "relay shell" is favorite pro-
posal, the plan being for shell at
the height of its flight to expell
smaller inner shell. AS a shell does
not poin directly along its trajectory,
it would be impossible to secure ac-
curacy of aim for the second shell.
Among the more miscellaneous
projects are:
To petrify German soldiers by
squirting cement over them.
To throw snakes by pneumatic pro-
pulsion into the enemy trenches.
To penetrate and attack Germany
itself via tube" built "all the way"
from England.
1t is said that about one suggestion
in ten that reach the ministry of mu-
nitions is novel and possible.
The air ministry announces that it's
air inventions committee, formed
about nine months ago, has examined

Well. Doesn't See II Through.

Wells Doesn't See Il Through.
An edifying little wrangle between
Messrs. Wells and Jerome has been
adjoining the correspondence columns
Of the London Daily News. Mr.. Jer-
ONE wrote something about a League
Of Reason" Mr.. Wells then saddled
Mr.. Jerome with the elegant reproach
Of "slobbering with love and forgive
ness about the neck of the kaiser, the
crown prince, Reventlow and the
Krupp family" Mr.. Jerome, very
naturally, retorted that he had done
nothing Of the sort, whereupon Mr..
Wells criticised Mr.. Jerome for hold
ing opinions which Mr.. Jerome sub
sequently stated he did not hold.
After few more interchanges Of COM
pliments the editor Of our contempt
rary has printed further letter OF
Mr.. Jerome's, despite a pressing In
vitation of his for further remarks by
Mr.. Wells. with the intimation, This
correspondence is now closed" This
embargo places Mr.. Wells In the I'M
usual position of being unable to have
the last word.

Mix Wood and Coal In Making Ga,


At various points in Switzerland
and France wood and sawdust are be-
ing mixed with coal in making gas,
because Of the coal shortage. For ex-
ample. 10 per cent of sawdust is add
ed to the coal in the vertical-bulb re-
torts In Geneva, while as an alterna-
tive for the sawdust, logs are some
times used. In such cases the retorts
contain about 260 pounds of coal in
stead of 1.240 pounds. The acid prod
ucts from the wood have caused some
trouble because of corrosion, but this
has been largely overcome by alter
mating charges of wood with charges
of coal In another Swiss city, 375
pounds of sawdust is mixed with &c
pounds of coal In retorts that usually
take 900 pounds of coal.-Popular Me-
