AIRPLANEs IN MAIL SERVICE
Idea That They Might Be Employed
at Both Ends Of Voyage OF
Ocean Liner.

One of the contemplated uses OF
the airplane in peace time is that
of oyertaking steamers at sea for the
purpose of placing delayed mail
aboard. Obviously, says the Scientific
American, the speed of the average
airplane makes it possible to oyertake
steamer several hours after it has
left the port, thereby extending the
mail service time that many hours.
An experiment is being made by
Zimmerman, skilled pilot, who will
follow steamer two or three hours
after she sailed for England, and,
overtaking her, will drop mail
pouch with wooden float attach
ment into the sea just ahead of her
bow. This experiment will be closely
followed by the postofhce authorities
and the steamship men in order to
determine the practicability of the
scheme.
It has also been suggested that
steamers might carry small airplanes
which, when the steamer neared port,
might fly with bags of mail. If air
planes we're employed to oyertake the
steamer, and one or more airplanes
to make port some hours
before the steamer, perhaps eight
hours OF more might be saved in
mail service.

OIL sHALE DEPOSITS.

The. possibility of using the oil
shale deposits of the United States
as a source of liquid fuels is under
consideration. These are found in
several portions of the country but
those in Utah and Colorado are the
most extensive At first glance this
material shown no signs of oil, but
when it is heated the organic ma
terials in its composition are broken
up and among other things oil and
gas are obtained The yield varies
from 6 to 80 gallons of crude oil
per ton of shale, which will yield Z
to 10 per cent gasoline, % to A per
cent kerosene and other valuable
products. Considerable use is made
of shale oil in England and Scot

UNUSUAL MISSlvES OF LOVE.
Preof That There IL No End to In
GenuIty Of the Victims Of
the Blind God.

There is no limit to the ingenuity
Of lovers.
One bashful wooer recently hit on
the idea Of sending the girl he loved
3 basket Of apples, on the skin OF
each Of which was prickked her
name and the message II love you,
while q Canadian soldier proposed
to the girl of his choice in love
letter spelled out in mustard and
cress.
But the palm must certainly be
awarded to a swain who made yege-
table marrow do his counting for
him. The plan he adopted was to
trace with gimlet his written pro-
posal of marriage on the outer green
skin Of young marrow growing in
his beloved ones allotment.
At first the writing was practically
invisible, but as the vegetable grew,
20 the traced words stood out more
and more clearly, until at length
they could scarcely fail to catch the
eye of even the least obseryant Of
damsels.
Among other unique proposals
might be mentioned that of Cyrus
Findlay, the American millionaire,
who harne0sed the famous Bridal
Veil fall in California, causing it to
"aspell out" . loye-letter in the Morse

HALE The CHILDREN.

Statistics show that in the old
days every wife reared an average Of
two children, while now this average
has been cut in half. So now we find
that women bring up only half the
children her grandmother did and
fewer have household duties.
