Need of Navy Now Airplane Carriers

THE destruction by army air bomb
ers of the German dreadnaught
Oestfriesland has convinced leading
military and naval strategists that
control of the air is now the most
urgent need of our national defense.
The best Of these experts, even those
most enthusiastic and forward looking
In their claims for aircraft, do not
concede that the battIeship, as the
fighting bulldog Of the sea, has been
made obsolete. but they do insist Wig
orously that battleships. as the strong
right arm of national defense, are GO

The Experiment.

There Is a story told concerning a
careful mother whose three children
Mortified her one day by producing for
her inspection three exceedingly bill
ious-looking toffee apples.
"They're very pretty, my dears." she
lied bravely. "But really you mustn't
eat them. I've heard of little children
dying through eating colored toffee ap-
PIES"
Then she took the sweetmeats away
and put them out Of reach-as she
thought--on a shelf in her dressing
room.
SEE imagined that would do the
trick; but early next morning she
heard sound out on the landing, and,
going to see who was astir so early,
found Elsie trotting along the passage.
"What are you doing, dearT she
asked. TITS not six o'clock yet"
"Going to see If Lick and Arthur are
dead yet" replied the eight-year-old
miss. I'm not"

Locust Plague of 1915.

A very severe locust plague that WIS.,
tied Palestine and Syria in the spring
Of 1915 proved a blessing in disguise
for the British armies. The locusts
ravaged the country from the borders
Of Egypt to the Taurus mountains,
consuming every green thing. Vege-
tables and fruit disappeared as if by
magic
The shortage of all kinds of fodder
was a most serious matter and great
ly operated against the movement Of
the Turkish forces on the Egyptian
fronts. When the locusts were first
seen in jerusalem attention was
drawn to them by the sudden darken-
ing Of the bright sunshine. The de-
struction wrought by the pests was
enormous, more especially as the Car
den of Gethsemane was stripped.
The streets of Jerusalem were car
peted with masses Of insects. When
anything approached, says John w.
Whiting, United States vice consul at
Jerusalem, in the Wide World, 1t seem
ed as if the entire surface of the
ground moved, producing a most GU
riOus effect on ones vision, and caus-
ing dizziness, which in some cases
was so severe as to produce q sen
sation not unlike seasickness. When
fail came the country was cropless,
even olive groves having been de-
stroyed.

Models for the Pilgrim half dollars

ment in commemOration of the ter
centenary anniversary of the landing
of the Pilgrims were brought to
Washington the other day by William
Carroll Hill of Boston, secretary Of
the Pilgrim Tercentenary commission
of Massachusetts, and deposited with
Ray Baker, director of the mint.
The models are the work of Cyrus
e. Dallin, the sculptor, and the de-
signs have been approved by the COM
mission.
The coin will bear on one side the
head and shoulders of a typical Pill
grim intended to represent Governor
Bradford, with his history of Ply
mouth colony under his arm, and on
the reverse side a representation Of
the Mayfower. The entire issue of
100000 coins has been assigned to the
commission, which will distribute
them through the National Shawmut
bank of Boston. National banks in
the principal cities Of the country will
have an opportunity, through the
Shawmut, to obtain an allotment Of
the coins for their respective districts.

Most Efficient LIGHT.

Fame and fortune await the scien-
fist who discovers the secret of the
familiar freely or lightning bug. No
one has been able to tell how the little
insect produces the flashes Of light we
see twinkling about us on dark nights.
Careful scientist tests have proven,
however that this light is produced
with about one four hundredths part
Of the energy which Is expended in the
flame of a candle. Considering the
strength or rather feebIeness of the
FREELY this light is believed to be the
most efficient form of illumination
known today. If this method could be
understood and put to work 1t is cal
culated that the energy eXerted by a
boy in driving a bicycle would be suffi-
cient to run a powerful dynamo or
light many miles of street lamps. The
light Of the freely is practically heat
less and 1t Is believed among scien-
lists that the future of the lighting
industry of the world depends upon
the discovery of a heatless Light

WORDS MADE BY ANIMALS
Many OF Those In Common Use Can
Be Traced to Domestic and
Wild Beasts.

Monkey-trtcks, a combination used
nowadays to mean practical jokes, lie
quite now, but the prefix monkey" is
very old.
The boatmen on our canals call a
small barge a monkey-barge, and the
mechanic calls the adjustable spanner
In his tool kit monkey-wrench. The
step of bus on which the conductor
stands Is known as the monkey-board.
A bat-call is a tin whistle, and a
cats paw the medium who does an
others dirty work. Catskins are the
flowers Of the willow, and cat-lap is
weak tea.
Our friend the dog Is rather badly
used. We speak of dog-rose. dog
brtar. dog-wheat. dog-grass, dog-eared,
and each epithet implies inferiority.
The word "horse" is also used to
imply inferiority, roughness, coarse
ness. A horse-laugh is a vulgar guf-
faw; horse-chestnut is the poisonous
acrid sort as distinguished from the
sweet chestnut; while horse-play is
rough play such as AIRY and 'Arriet
indulge In.
The cOmmonest use of the prefix
horse" is In connection with power"
1t is commonly referred to as "h. p,"
and Is the universal unit of compari-
son between steamships, motorcars, To-
comotives, etc.
The fox enters a good deal into COM
mon speech. We call shamming
"foxing," and crafty man is IAN
old fox" but why certain dance
should be called a fox-trot one cannot
say.
The fox suggests the hare, and that
timid animal also has its use In Ian
guage as well as in soup. man
who is as mad as a March hare is
said to be hare Drained" The hare
bell Is one Of our prettiest flowers. but
the possession of a hare-lip is gen.
orally thought to be the result of the
interference of some malicious spirit
at birth.
Then we have the "calf-ove" of the
very young man, and the Sleeps
eyes" of the very coy maiden, the pig
iron of the forge, and the pig-tail of
the fiapper.-London Tit-Bits.

Darrell Figgis in his book on "a.
E." George Russell. the Irish writer
and mystic, explains the pen name
thus: wanting at one time a new
pen name, he subscribed himself as
Aeon. His penmanship not at all
times being the most leglble, the print
er deciphered the first diphthong and
set a query for the rest; whereupon
the writer, In his proof sheets, strOked
out the query and stood by the diph-
thong" Since then. however, Mr.
Russell has abandoned the diphthong
and prints his pen name as two sep
arate letters.-St. John Ervine In the

pleteiy 5affled-AnyN~ay, Would
knowledge Be DesIrable7

Some time ago there was held In
England a WONDERS of Science Ex-
hiDition" which served to reveal many
marvels to the public unfamiliar with
the work done with the microscope,
the microphone and the micrograph.
The microphone magnifies sound as
the microscope does things seen. The
micrograph is the instrument used by
the scientist In taking pictures of
things shown by the microscope. More
people are familiar, to some extent
with the microscope than with the
microphone. They know 1t Is posi-

Many other wonders of science were
shown at Surbiton, but neither there
nor anywhere else has science demon.
strated Its ability to help the sense
of smell. 1t can do marvelN for sight,
hearing and touch, but not for the
humble and useful nose. In that field
the accomplishments Of science have
been nil.
Let a man stand two miles, say, to
windward Of the point where a herd
of caribou will cross an open plain
over which fresh breeze Is sweeping
and 1t must be apparent that only an
infinitely minute particle Of whatever
matter may be given off from his body
or clothing can possibly reach the nos
trils of any one deer in the herd. Yet,
If the man Is completely screened from
sight by rise in the surface of the
ground the caribou will nevertheless
catch the faint in the air. They would
be warned of the presence Of a wolf In
the same way
Yet science Is utterly unable to de-
tect anything which the olfactory
nerve of the deer senses and Identifies.
1t cannot see with a microscope any
thing In the air which came from the
man. IT cannot find any such sub
stance with a chemical test of any
kind. Instead Of aiding the sense Of
smell. 1t Is entirely incapable Of match
ing it. Here is another realm for
science to invade and subdue; but
would the conquest be altogether de-
sirable? 1t is a question whether the
average man needs to smell more
things or sense more acutely the
things he smells already. 1t is thought
that the gains would not offset the
losses under the prevailing conditions
Of life.
