HAD MIGHTY WEAPON
Big Ship Is Sunk by "Phantom
Torpedo"
British War Secret Of DIseharging Mis-.
sles From Airplanes Is
Disclosed.

London.-"Phantom torpedoes" from
the clouds sank Turkish ship carry
ing 5000 troops, just before the end
of hostilities. Only the armistice pre-
vented other aerial "phantoms" from
operating effectively against the Ger
man warships in the Kiel Canal and
other German navy shelters.
These hydroplanes discharging tor.
pedoes above the water have been
the great secret of the British navy
during the closing month of the war.
Scientific officers of this branch of
the navy agree that these mysterious
planes are designed to accomplish
from the air more effectively and
more swiftly what the torpedoes from
submarines can achieve.
An armored ship carrying twenty of
these machines met the German sur
rendered fleet at sea ready for action
in case the Germans should attempt
some eleventh-hour trickery.
These amazing planes ascend from
land or deck, climb thousands of feet
for a sudden dive from the clouds at
a speed of $50 miles an hour, straight
en- out fifty feet above the sea and
discharge torpedo direct at the enc
my ship. Then they disappear into
the clouds as suddenly as they APP
peared, and so swiftly that the enemy
craft has no chance of training its
guns or machine guns on 1t.
How the difficulty of dischargiRg q
torpedo in the air is overcome is
naval secret. 1t is known that Sc
ri0us accidents marked the expert
mental tests with these wonderful ma
chimes.

Zoo Superintendent Finds
New Husband for Mourning
Widow in Alligator Family

For many weeks Cy De Vry, super
intendent of the Lincoln Park Zoo at
Chicago, watched with utmost con-
Germ the ravages of melancholia upon
the person and psychology of Desde-
mona, the brunette alligator, who
some time since was bereft of her
husband. He succumbed to inf1u-
enza.
They were fnseparable and had
achieved a oneness of concord rarely
encountered in the domestic domain.
The unalloyed bliss they enjoyed was
manifest to all. 1t was natural that
with the visit of the grim reaper the
weaker vessel, deprived at one fell
stroke of prop and stay, should mourn
deeply.
But De Vry thought time would as
suage her grief. In this he was in
error. After a consultation he de-
cided that but one hope remained-to
obtain a new husband.
In the Florida jungles there was
captured Othello, a blackamoor. If
Cupid's darts prove potent the
gnawing grief wearing away the wild
ow's heart will be eradicated ferever
and a day.

Destructive insects in the United
States have a food bill of 81, ,0OO.-

lost each year because of insect dep
relations on various farm crops and
fruits. In addition to this, there Is

ticks. mites and so forth.
In 1916 destructive insects caused
a loss of S43O,204,300 in cereal crops
and were responsible for a loss of
SIG, ,23O, 500 in hay crops. The insect
damage to the tobacco crops was $16,-
9OO,8OO and in vegetables $199.412,-
800. They caused a loss of $S,436.-

Rat Skins Make Leather
Suitable for Some Kinds
of Gloves and Mittens

There is not enough leather to go
round. Fish skins are susceptible Of
tanning, and there are rat skins
which make good leather, large
enough for many purposes. They
would do for some kinds of gloves
and mittens, says the Little Journal.
They may be sewed together to make
cloaks and other garments, and they
are not too small to be available for
parts of boots and shoes. The gen.
eral rule as to leather is that the
thicker the fur is the poorer the hide
and vice vers.t. According to this,
rat hide would produce superior
leather.
Somebody with the gift of guessing
computes that there are 100,00O,O0C
rats in this country, and the damage
they do would feed good sized
army. 1t would take at least 5000
skins day to supply a small modern
tarnery. Nobody wants the rats
they belong to anybody that can
catch them. That is the only prob
lem-to catch them and skin them
and then deliver the goods.

THE WORSHIP OF NATURE

The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made and praise is given.
By all things near and far;
The ocean looketh up to heaven,
And mirrors every star.
Its waves are kneeling on the strand.
AS kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowling to the sand,
The priesthood of the sea!
They pour their glittering treasures forth,
Their gifts of pearl they bring,
And all the listening hills of earth
Take up the song they sing.
The green earth sends her incense UP
From many a mountain shrine;
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer;
The altar curtains of the hills
Are sunsets purple air.
The winds with hymns of praise are loud
Or low with sobs of pain
The thunder-organ of the cloud,
The dropping tears of rain.
With dropping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues of Pentecost
From all it's sunlit leaves.
The blue sky Is the temples arch,
Its transept earth and adr&
The music of it's starry march
The chorus of Dray6e.y
So Nature keeps the reverend, frame
With which her years beganS
And all her signs and voices shame IL
The prayerless heart of man.

to expect impossible results. Sweep
ing claims may serve to attract peo-
ple to the association and may assist
in its formation, but unless the or
ganization is able to come up to ex-
pectations these claims are likely to
react strongly. Each member should
understand clearly that the success OF
his organization depends upon him
and that it is his duty to do his part.
Selishness and petty jealousies have
no place in any cooperative undertaE-
ing.
Lack of sufficient business to make
operation practicable has caused
many failures. A cooperative mar
keting association should not be un'
dertaken unless the volume of >busi-
ness available is sufficient to make
it worth while. AS large member
ship as possible should be secured,
because there is a direct connection
between membership and the support
accorded to an organization. Dts-e-
gard of this fact has resulted in the
failure of some organizations,
The attitude of farmers in com

not reached the stage where they are
ready to give UP individual effort for
cooperative effort, failure is of
course inevitable.
