In addition to fnflicting heavy

ITALIANS TORPEDO
TWODREADNAUCHTS
OF AUSTRIAN FLEET
Torpedo Boats Pass Through
Line of DestrOyerS and
Get Results

Rome, June 1.-Two small Italian
torpedo boats, defyins an entire AUS
trian battle fleet, sank two of the lar
gest dreadnaughts in the Austrian navy
Monday morning and returned safely to
their bases, it was officially announc-
ed today.
The daring exploit occurred off the
Dalmatian islands, on the Austrian side
of the Adriatie.
In the pursuit which followed, an
Austrian destroyer was badly damaged.
Two torpedos were fired at the first
ship in the line and one torpedo at the
ship Immediately following.
The Austrian dreadnaughts were of
the Viribus Units class and were sunk
June 10.
The torpedo boats, under command of
Captain Rizzo and Luige D'Milazzo
passed boldly through line of enemy
destroyers and attacked the two lead
ing ships of battle squadron, which
was steaming in fleet formation.
A short time ago a mysterious Ital-
| ian craft-since described as an elec-
trieally propelled "sea tank '--pene-
trated the defenses of Pola harbor and
sank an Austrian dreadnaught of the
IViribus Units class.
This class originally consisted of fouI
vessels. They are of twenty thousand
tons displacement, carry twelve twelve
Inch and twelve five inch guns and
J ihave compliment of 962 to 96S men.

of the skull. 1t is much more impor-
tant that man should have both
arms intact than both legs. A clever
pilot who was killed on the western
front was Lord Lucas, who had an
artificial leg.
Considerable Importance is attached
to the respiratory system. In addition
to good, healthy lungs and vital capac-
ity, the would-be pilot must pass a
test. This gives an in
dication of his capacity to stand the
strain of flying at high attitudes,
where the air is rarefed and breath
ing is difficult. No man with a weak
heart can hope to pass the tests.
Self-baancing is another test. The
candidate has to stand on one leg with
his eyes shut and his hands on his
hips. There is also the old test for
sObriety-walking a straight line heel
To toe with eyes open and then turn
ing round and walking back without
losing balance The Importance of
this test can be understood, seeing
that an aviator flying in a dark cloud
or in a fog becomes unconscious of his
position and sometimes the machine
is actually upside down. 1t is essen
tial that he should not lose second
in recovering his balance.
The throat. nose and ear are care
fully examined, for any defects might
seriously handicap man during the
great strain that all flying imposes.
With regard to the eyes, it is consid-
cred that pilots should have perfect
color vision. in order TO pick out the
color or marking of hostile machines.
and in recognizing signal lights and in
judging the nature of landing grounds.
Air Sickness Rare.
A candidate who suffers from sea-
sickness or train sickness would not
be rejected on those grounds alone.
Air sickness, caused by the rolling and
pitching Of the airplane, is very rare
complaint, and sickness usually occurs
Immediately after landing.
An unstable nervous system suggest

Direct contact with the spray causes

is slow, the height being reached from
five to ten days after the burn Is re-

marked characteristic. Healing Is

That mutton and wool production In
this country can be increased greatly
admits Of no doubt. This can be ac-
complished by developing sheep hus-
bandry on farms, especially In the
Eastern and Southern states. Steps
should be taken in the East and South
to do away with the sheep-killing dog
menace by state or local action. Large
results can be secured by improving
methods Of breeding and management
on the range; by securing the restock-
ing Of improved farm lands with
sheep; by the larger use Of forage
crops and pastures; by encouraging
sheep and lamb clubs; by the elimina-
ton of parasites; by protection
against losses from predatory AMI
mails; and by having lambs ready for
market mt from 20 to 80 pounds
weight. thereby requiring a minimum
of grain to finish them and making
possible the maintenance of larger

New York.-Considerabl concern
has been expressed at the large num-
Der of fatal accidents reported from
our American military and naval avia-
ton training camps. Considering the
risks the novice necessarily takes and
the very special physiological and psy-
Geological factors that enter into the
science of flying, these fatal accidents
are few i'm proportion to the number
Of men undergoing training. and they
are not more numerous than those on
the training fields of Great Britain,
France and Italy.
A perfect knowledge of all the rules
of the game of flying will not save a
man who lacks confidence in himself
and is inclined to hesitate. A half
second of indecisi0n may be fatal. In
itiative, the sporting instinct and n
herent in American youth, have been
found of far greater value in the air
than the logical. scientific, severely
disciplined character of the Germans,

which much fewer people avail them
selves than of fish. That is frogs.
There is no more delicious meat than
frog legs. Yet with the exception of
a few hotels widely scattered along
the lakes and few of the streams,
frog legs are rarely served. Around
practically every pond Of any consid-
cradle size there are enough frogs if
properly utilized to furnish an occa-
sional meal and to furnish very fine
sport in shooting or otherwise taking.
More attention to fish and frogs
would result in the saving of much
food and would be Of personal benefit
