The Heiicopter.

A new flying machine, called he'll copter, has been invented, quite differ ent from anything that mankind has yet stared up at, in that its propellers have a diameter of 51 feet, revolve so much more slowly than the more-and- more familiar airplane propeller that they are practically noiseless, are To- cated above the car, and also take the place of the wings of the customary airplane. The propellers, in fact, are practically moving wings; and the ma chine, as described by Robert G. Sker- rett in the New York Sun, presents quite list of advantages over any thing that has preceded it for air navi- gation. It can, it Is declared. descend slowly. rise and come down without difficulty anywhere carry consider able load and is inherently stable. Aviation, after all, Is still quite young, and 1t may possibly turn out that the helicopter is the next forward step.-- Christian Science Monitor.

Thermometers Vary.

The readings of old mercury ther- mometers are often too high, while spirit thermometers with age are H. ahie to give indications lower than the actual temperatures. Shrinkage of the bulb. forcing the mercury up the tube, has been suggested as the cause of the high readings. For the op- poslte effect, several theories have beea offered-such as taking up some Of the spirit in an invisible film wet ting the bore of the tube, or chemical coordination of the spirit with the glass or evaporation through invisible craciks-but 1t is now believed that an explanation simpler than the early ones Is available. Mercury thermom- eters sealed off when almost filled. Contain practically no air, the tubes thus being given the reduced internal pressure favoring shrinkage. But spirit thermometers are sealed with

" "ReUenOOer" GiUen
 Tip ct First Hand

Little Rock, April 28.-J. A.
 Hopper, field deputy under David A. Gates, federal prohibition di- rector, has none of the character istics of the "revenooer" of fiction. He is a pleasant appearing man who looks as if he might be congenial companion. His appearance un- doubtedly deceived Scott Lemly of Morrilton Sunday. MT. Hopper, who returned yesterday from Fort Smith, shared seat in train with Lem iy between Morrilton and Russell vile Sunday. A travelling man touched Lemly on the shoulder and asked him for a drink. Lemly told him he had drink with him, but that he would not give it to him on the train. Hopper suggested that he might give his friend drink in the dressing room, but Lemly said he would not give anybody drink on the train under any circum- stances. He told the travelling man that he would get off with him at Russellville and give him a. drink there
 AICuily tuSu began IO cApOuuu tO Hopper and the travelling man how to get ahead of the revenue man. You know" he said, If revenue man came up to me I'd just bust bottle over his head"
 After the travelling man had gone to another part of the train, Hop per, turning to Lemly, asked him his name, and then slowly drawing his commission as field deputy from his pocket, handed it to Len1ly. 'T'd like to see what you have in your sack" he told Lemly. Lemly show ed him the sack, which contained fruit jar filled with whiskey, but he was too much taken aback to make good his threat of striking Hopper over the head with it. In stead he laughed and said it was a good joke on him.

AUSTRIAN DESP0T IN ITALY
Excellent Reasons Why commandant " in Town of BuJe Was Feared 1 'aS lps and Detested.

| During the war, Austria, fearing aad hating the Italians of Istria, placed every town under drastic military con- trol.
 It was the chief task of Colonel v0gelhueber, commander of Buje, to make the Italians feel his presence. They had felt it one day. Incensed by his latest decrees, they had come in crowds below his windows, discussing, gesttcuiating, angrily demanding an audience, until his troops had rammed them in the stomach with the butts of rifles and driven them off-off to their homes where they would find that during their absence a few more ob- jects had mysteriously disappeared, wooden clothing, perhaps, or some pieces of furniture or cherished pie ture. Not stolen, of course, but ''requi- sitioned" It was neat.
 He had had a good day but he would have a better evening. They had wanted an audience. Very well. That evening he would grant an audi
  than that-he would dine theml
 The leading citizens of Buje will not soon forget that dinner. The meal itself was excellent-infinitely better than any that they had had for months. It consisted of meats "requisitioned" from their own herds and focks, grains from their own fields, wine from their Owa cellars. The host, Colonel Vogel- hueber, sat at the head of the table. all smiles and benignity. He was soIicitous that every one should have plenty. When the repast was finished, he rose.
 He called the attention of the Ital- isns of Buje to the fact that he had sent very few of them to Austrian in- terament camps. He emphasized his tolerance and libera,ity in this matter. Ills action, however, had been guided by definite purpose. It might please them to be informed as to the purpose which he had had in mind.
 ~ do not care to intern you" he said. in smiling climax, because prefer co execute yOul
 '"rhe troops of Italy are at present nsAkxing some advance. l wish simply to announce to you now that before they ever reach Buje shall have the pleasure of seeing every man of you shot Good night. gentlemen. The pleasure has been mine."
 Then. showing the yellow streak ai- ways present in such natures, he hastily summoned his soldiers, and every guest was escorted to the street at the point of bayonet.
 A gay. dashing wag was voglehu- ber Dashing he was certainly, few weeks later, when the Italian Der sagiiere swept into Buje so suddenly that ne did not have time to make good hts promise, but found it prudent to run to save his own skin, even leaving a precious carload of stolen treas ures behind him.-Willard Price, in World Outlook.

FOR OVERSEAS
SERVICES NOW OPEN

The local army recruiting station
expects to be especially busy this
week due to the opening Of a limited
number Of vacancies in the American
forces in Germany. 1t is many
months since enlistments have been
open for the overseas offices during
which time thousands of previous
service men who served in Europe
during the war have expressed a de-
sire to return to Germany. The en-
listments open now are all for three
years, and include the infantry, cav
airy, field artillery, and quartermaster
corps. Over nine hundred vacancies
the service, with only 81 openings
in the quartermaster corps, 25 in the
field artillery, and Is in the cavalry.
The order opening these enlistments
states that the applicants must be

physically.
Men accepted under this authority
racks, Missouri and from that point
to Fort Slocum, New York, for com
pletion of their enlistment.

feels that these vacancies viii be filled
within a week or 10 days, as recruit
ing for the regular army is at pres
ent heavier than at any period since
the war. 1t is estimated that the
month of July saw $4,000 enlistments
in the regular army in the country.
