The Heiicopter,

A new flying machine, called hell

ent from anything that mankind has
yet stared up at, in that its propellers
have a diameter of 81 feet, revOlve so

more familiar airplane propeller that
they are practically noiseless, are To-

place of the wings of the customary

practically moving wings; and the ma

quite a list of advantages over any

AUSTRIAN DEsPoT IN ITALY
Excellent Reasons Why Commandment
in Town of 5uje Was Feared
and Detested.

During the war, Austria. fearing
and hating the Italians of Istria, placed
every town under drastic military con-
troll.
1t was the chief task of Colonel
vogelhueber, commander of Buje, to
make the Italians feel his presence.
They had felt it one day. Incensed by
his latest DEGREES, they had come in
crowds below his windows. discussing,
gesticulating, 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 few more OBJ
jects had mysteriously disappeared,
wooden clothing, perhaps, or some
pieces of furniture or cherished pic
ture. Not stolen. of course, but "requi-
sitioned." 1t was neat.
He had had good day but he
would have a better evening. They
had wanted an audience. Very well.
That evening he would grant an audi
ence to their leading citizens. More
than that--he would dine them!
The leading citizens of Buje will
not soon forget that dinner. The meal
itself was excellent-infnitely better
than any that they had had for months.
1t consisted of meats ''requisitioned"
from their own herds and flocks, grains
from their own fields, wine from their
own cellars. The host. Colonel Vogel-
hueber, sat at the head of the table,
all smiles and benignity. He was
solicitous that every one should have
plenty. When the repast was finished,
he rose.
He called the attention of the Ital-
ians of Buje to the fact that he had
sent very few of them to Austrian in
ternment camps. He emphasized his
tolerance and liberality in this matter.
His action, however, had been guided
by definite purpose. 1t might please
them to be informed as to the purpose
which he had had in mind.
81 do not care to intern you," he
said. in smiling climax, because I
prefer to execute you!
''The troops of Italy are at present
making some advance. wish simply
to announce to you now that before
they ever reach Buje I shall have the
pleasure of seeing every man of you
shot. Good night, gentlemen. The
pleasure has been NINE"
Then, showing the yellow streak al
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-
Der. Dashing he was certainly, few
weeks lateE when the Italian Ber-
sagliere swept into Buje so suddenly
that he did not have time to make good
his 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.

Thermometers Vary.

The readings of old mercury Their
mometers are often too high, while
spirit thermometers with age are IL
able 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 OPP
posite effect, several theories have
been offered-such as taking up some
of the spirit in an invisible film wet
ting the bore Of the tube, or chemical
combination of the spirit with the
glass or evaporation through invisible
cracks-but it is now believed that an
explanation simpler than the early
ones is available. Mercury thermom-
eters sealed off when almost filed.
contain practically no air, the tubes
thus being given the reduced internal
pressure fayoring shrinkage. But
spirit thermometers are sealed with
the bulbs in q freezing mixture, so
that they may contain as much air
as possible, and such bulbs are con-
stantly subjected to an internal pres
sure greater than outside. This gives
the tendency to expand, allowing the
spirit to fall too low in the tube.
