GOT GOOD IDEA FROM HUNS
French Scientist Has Adapted idea
Which Made "eis Bertha" For
n,idable to Aerial Travel

When the Germans accidentally dis
covered that a projectile fired from a
big Bertha normally designed for
range Of from 25 to 80 miles would
achieve . range OF about three times
the normal by simply elevating the
muzzle so that the projectile would
travel through the rarefied air In the
high altitude they unwittingiy con
trfbuted an Idea which may revolu-
tfonize aerial travel. The resistance
to progress of an object In the upper
reaches OF the air is very much less
than In the denser atmosphere of the
lower attitudes. but the rarity of oxy-
gen In the higher attitudes reduces
the efficiency OF the gasoline engine
BY as much as so per cent.
To overcome this. remarks the Van
couver Sun. a French inventor has at
tached an automatic air condenser to
the exhaust. and air with q normal
content Of oxygen is thus supplied to
the engines. which. retaining their
normal power, drive the plane through
the rarefied air at a greatly sccelerst-
ID speed.
II Is now said to be possible, with
this Improvement. to cross the Allan
tie in one day.

of the amused railing at incompetent
strike-breakers. Some Of them. com
pletely dominated by the ubiquitous
Kolb, were working themselves up TO
the point of violence. Sheer stubborn
pride kept most OF the men In line.
One of these was Ford Burgoyne. who
had been harder hit by the dIsaffection
Of Glory Blair than by the loss OF his
job. and who was In somber. pessl-
mistic frame Of mind. He felt like
smashing things.
Ford was standing one of a group
Of twenty trolley men. at the very
corner where had occurred his disas-
trous encounter with Glory. Half an
hour before a West side car had been
held up. stoned and the motorman aud
conductor taken of and beaten. Now
every passing trolley was a target for
verbal abuse for passengers and crew
alike. Several of Kolb's best adher-
ents were in the crowd Of riff-rafr that
fringed the group OF strikers. One OF
these. q red-faced rough, suddenly
called out:
Get onto what's on the tail end of
this cara skirt Whatcha know
about that! Hey. you people. you got

they'll have 'em In all your jobs Come

started toward the car as 1t stopped
for the crossing. Three or four gang
ster type youths yelled. Get the
skirt !" As with one impulse, half a
hundred men and boys surged about
the platform. The red-faced man.
leaping up the steps, seized the small
figure of the conductor and dragged II
to the street. Some one struck at the
strike-breaker over the red-faced
mans shoulder-and then Ford Bur
goyne came smashing and boring into
the crowd with all the grim relentless
ness Of those football days before
the gas had got to him.
You dirty yellow dogsl" he painted,
ripping the collar clear OF one gang
ster's coat as he hauled him out Of his
path and landing a ranEy right under
the red-faced mans ear at the same
instant. Turn around here and fight

rioter went down for the count.
The little conductor. freed from her
assailant's grip. was reeling. her
hands to her head. when Ford seized
her arms. lifted her to the platform
and. licking a last ambitious rough OF
the step. rang the starting bell. As
the car pulled away from the corner
and out Of the incipient mob. he
looked down at the little conductor.

breathed.
