ASTRONOMY STILL AT FAULT
Men of Science Forced to Admit Exact Results From Their Calculations
 Are Not Possible.

The celebrated observatory at Green wich, the place from which we reckon longitude, was founded by Charles II in 1875, mainly for the purpose of in- vestigating the movements of the moon in the interests of navigation. Although in the intervening two and half cen- turies astronomers have worked at the problem, the moon has not yet become entirely amenable to their mathemat- ics. In recent report of the obser- vatory at Greenwich attention is in- vited to the increasing deviation be- tween the calculated position of the moon in the sky and its real position shown by the Greenwich observations. The deviation has lately been growing in serious manner. The error last year was more than twelve times as large as the error twenty years ago, and the average annual increase dur ing the two decades has amounted to half second of arc in longitude. The reason that astronomers have failed in getting exact results from calcula- tions based on the dynamical laws of gravitation is possibly the existence of some attractive force that they have not yet discovered, although the result may also be affected by the true shape of the earth, which still awaits ac- curate determination. ~@.

4 CENTURY OF ANTHRACITE
Flrst Ton Of Hard Coal Reached the City of Philadelphia Just One
 Hundred Years Ago.

An even hundred years have elapsed since one William Wurts, a Philadel- phia merchant, drove his team of mules with the first ton of anthracite through the spring freshets and bog land to the banks of the Delaware river and floated the new fuel down the river to Philadelphia on pine log raft.
 But he experienced no little difti- culty in that first anthracite year of 1920 in overcoming the popular objec- tion that the coal was extremely slow of lighting" Pine log rafts floated only 365 tons of anthracite that year. But it fetched price of SIP ton and could be delivered freight-on-raft Philadelphia at S3-a fact that was freely advertised to attract additional capital, for, of course, there was no profteering in those days.
 Spring freshets and bog land and slow infiammability no longer worry operators. Silk shirts for miners are A bigger nuisance. But production in a hundred years has jumped to S6,- 100000 tons, and could this year sur pass the 100 million-ton mark, which was almost reached in 1917.
 Reading, Wilkesbarre. Lehign, Mauch Chunk-these names are spoken one thousand times hourly in the industrial world today, simply be- cause there lay up in the hills of Penn sylvania a hard, black substance, one ton of which sly old William Wurts steered on a raft down the Delaware to Philadelphia, just one hundred years ago.-Wall Street Journal.

Deadly Weapon of Warfare.

An invention by French wireless engineer, M. Dunoyer, will completely change the character of naval war fare, if its claims are fulfilled. says the London Mail. It consists of what he calls an electric safety lock-" The mechanism to direct the course of 8 torpedo and secure its explosion against an enemy warship can be worked not only by wireless waves of the right length, but also by a proper sequence of Morse signals. Any error in the right sequence of dots and dashes would run the mechanism down to zero again and render the torpedo harmless, Each torpedo launched would have its own key SC Quence of dots and dashes, and so the enemy would be unable to tamper with 1t. n

The flying farmer had less than three hours instructions on his plane before he took it and made sue cessful flight.
 "I never wrecked a plane and have had but five forced landings" he says. "On one occasion, however, I broke a propeller by cranking the ship on frozen ground. The air plane took out after me and almost caught me before l reached the hangar"
 The farmers of Southeast Mis- souri are airplane crazy. If they want to go to St. Louis, distance of ITO miles, at night to see show, they just jump in their machine and in less than an hour and half they are in the city, and after the show they return home easily by mid night. A
 They have organized an areo club. When they want to pick up $1,000 or so as pocket money to take a trip to New York, London or Paris, they go to surrounding towns and take up all who have the price $10 a ride-and they all have it.. Or they go and make exhibition flights for few hundred dollars. It is not unusual to take up hun dred persons in half day.
 "The first airship I owned," Me Mullin said, twas an American Cur tiss, but it was too slow, so I trad ed it off and secured a Canadian Curtiss. For speed and dependabil- ity it is just what want. She will make as high as 90 miles an hour.

Hardly KneU Her

Mrs. Whites Neighbors Are All Talk ing About Her Wonderful Recovery

"When my wife began taking Tan lac she weighed only ninety-eight pounds; now she weighs one hun- dred and forty-three and her won- derful recovery is the talk of our neighborhood," said Ben White, of III Crescent Ave-, Peoria, III.
 Mrs. White has been suffering from stomach trouble and nervous ness for eighteen years," he con- tinued, land for a long time has been unable to leave the place. We spent all the money I could get for treatments and medicines but she never got any better. She was a complete nervous and physical wreck and I have seen her nearly die with cramps in her stomach and after eating she could hardly breathe for the gas. Headaches drove her near ly distracted and have stayed home with her weeks at time, fearing she would never pull through. for she was getting worse all the time.
 After hearing so much talk about Tanlac I bought some for my wife and in just a few days she could eat and sleep better. She has now taken about twelve bottles and is the very picture of health. Why some of her friends hardly know her at first sight now. She is as we'll and happy as a person can be-"

Concerning Aerial Fliohta

Air Commodore Edward Maitland of R-34 fame. speaking at the Royal So. ciety of Arts, said that while flying the Atlantic he retired about g a. m., and he was ashamed to say he slept until nine the next day. He found that the air not only induced sleep, but sharpened the appetite. Ladies had often asked him, the commodore said, Tn what should we dress when about to take an aerial fiightf" He felt tempted to suggest crinolines, which would become very useful as parachutes should the necessity arise.

Missouri Claims
 Plying Farmer

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Aug. 13.- Southeast Missouri claims the dls- function of having the first farmer to use airplanes directly for farm ing purposes. He is Leonard Me- Mullin, a young millionaire of Sikes- ton. Mo. Sikeston is in the center of the sunken lands, and the few people there who saw the oppor- tunity previous to the drainage work begun some fifteen years ago to take advantage and bought thousands of acres of this land.
 Most city folks look upon the farmer as a class to be pitied be- cause they have to live on a farm. The are called swamp angels, "ap- ple knockers" and such names. The farmers in this part of Missouri now regard those who live in the city with the same feeling.
 In Sikeston there are dozen or so airplanes and as many licensed pilots. The farmers in Sikeston, ms that is strictly farming town, do not go out and hitch up horse or even crank up a flivver when they get ready to go out to their farm. Instead, they go around the corner, drag an airplane from the hangar, jump in and away they go through the air. Airplanes have become so common in Sikeston that people pay no attention to them any more as they go whizzing over their heads. Practically everyone in Sikeston and surrounding towns has been up in an airplane and many of the high school boys make parachute leaps from the planes from to 2,000 to 5000 feet. The boy who has not been up in plane is looked down upon. . dEonafd McMullin owns three farms within a radius of 20 miles of Sikeston and makes the trip to each of them every day.
 'sI use the airplane each day to look after my business" McMullin says. q am farming 2000 acres of land. in the mercantile business and in the mule business. 1 also am a log contractor. At my three farms I have good landing fields, and each day l carry home from some of the farms dressed poultry, milk, eggs, butter or some other product. have also, on several occasions, car ried hogs in my plane from one farm to another. l just tie the hog to the wing next to the fusilage. They seem to enjoy the trip inn mensely.
 Each weekend I jump into my plane and fly to Memphis, Tenn, a distance of 1S0 miles, and buy car load of mules for the weeks de- mand. usually make the trip in an hour and quarter. This beats the railroad time by six hours"
