Aero Cruisers

Huge dirigible airships flying between
the United States and Europe, between
North and South America and from New
York to San Francisco on regular sche-
dulles is the plan of the Aero-cruiser Com
pany of America, the presidency of which
has been accepted by Rear Admiral Ro-
bert E. Peary, U. S. NJ. retired, discoverer
of the North Pole.
Plans of this company contemplate the
completion of the first transatlantic dirigi-
BILE within the next IL months, with SINH
lar craft for transcontinental flights in
this country, and for service between
North and South America to follow.
The design of the first big airship
shows sharp departures from the construc-
ton of German dirigibles and the big
British R-34, which recently negotiated
the round trip across the Atlantic. The
working model has convinced the officers
of the Aerocruiser Company that their
proposed design is sound.
The gas bag is shaped somewhat like a
saddle, the two sides coming down partly
over the cabin, which is $50 feet.-Ex.

He Leads us on

He leads us on
By paths we did not know.
Upward He leads us, though our steps be
slow,
Though oft we faint and falter on the
way,
Though storms and darkness oft obscure
the day,
Yet when the clouds are gone
We know He leads us on.
He leads us on
Through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and doubts
and fears
He guides our steps. Through all the tan
gled maze
Of sin, of sorrow, and o'erclouded days
We know His will is done;
And still He leads us on.
And He, at last,
After the weary strife
After the restless fever we call life
After the dreariness, the aching pain,
The wayward struggles which have
proved in vain,
After our tolls are past
Will give us rest at last.-Selected.

How Sardines Are Taken

Sardines are taken in a peculiar way
A small-meshed net made of very fine
blue thread is dropped into the water
astern of rowing boat. Two men pull
the boat steadily along, while a third
stands up and throws bait on each side
of the net.
AS the sardines try to pass through the
meshes to reach the bait they are caught
by the gills. Every now and again the
men "haul in" detach the entangled fish
then cast out the net once more. Some
times as many as FIVE or six thousand
fishes per day are thus taken, and the
catch brings high prices.
But the value of these is discounted by
the growing cost of bait. For this pur-
pose sailed Gods roe is used. 1t has to be
obtained from Norway, and the price
rises continually. The sardine does not
mind this. Being somewhat of an epicure,
it insists upon Gods roe or nothing.
Cost him what it may, the Breton fisher
must bait with Gods roe or he will get no
ardines.-Exchange.

We had made friends, he and I, as

Even though l was his jailer he did not

my treatment of him and become half
trustful of me in wild, faltering way.
We had something in common, perhaps
the love of the wilderness.
When l arrived at the shore that Satur-
day the cage was empty. The family
told me that on going out to the owl one
morning few days before, they had
found hole torn in the wire and the
big bird gone. He had taken his freedom
in the night, had answered the call of his
woods, and 1 was not sorry. He had
probably gone straight back to his home
land, some six miles to the west. l could
picture him as he rose softly into the
night on soundless wings, a feathered
phantom drifting swiftly across the pale
face of the Hunters Moon.
