D|R|G|BLE EXPLODES
IN ENGLISH HARBOR
ONLY TWO KNOWN SAVED FROM
LIST OF FIFTY-TWo ABOARD
TRIAL FLIGHT DISASTER
Twenty-one Americans Aboard ~
Fsted Air Machine Preparing For
Transatlantic Attempt; British
General Believed Lost.

Hull, England-America's giant dl.
rgible, the ZR-2, carrying more than
fifty American and British filters, ex-
ploded and fell flaming into the river
Humber at 5:45 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon.
So far as known, only two men es-
capped. They floated free OF the
doomed air cruiser In parachutes. All
the rest are believed to have been hurl-
ed TO death.
The ZR-2 had just returned from a
trial trip which lasted all day Tues
day, during which she cruised over
l great part OF England and was
blown some distance OF her course
by a gale over the North sea. The
British alrmen were putting the d.
rigible. purchased by the United States
from England, through her PAGES pre-
limlnary 10 turning her over 20 the
American crew for flight TO Lake
hurst, N. j.
At 1880 p. m. 1t was reported that
there were six survivors, but that two
Of them were seriously injured.
At 4:30 Wednesday the huge ship
appeared over HOwden and dgnaled
that before landing she would make
a speed trial. The big crowd wait
Ing on the landing field. around the
hangar, cheered and waved as the
airshIp started northward toward
Hull.
She swung through the AIR lanes
above the city and above the mouth
OF the Humber at steadily increasing
speed. Watchers below thought all
was going well. The doomed men
aboard. in her control cabins and on
the narrow runways between the mo-
tors, must have had a moments warn
Ing OF the disaster. II is believed. 9th
erwise none would have been able TO
get clear for the parachute jump.
Just as the zR-2 came around in
great curve high over the housetOps
OF Hull, near the mouth OF the river,
where II Is very wide and deep, there
was a flash and great burst Of smoke
and flame.
While the Mortified watchers gazed
up at the tragedy I'm the sky, they
heard the rumble OF the distant ex-
plOsion. Then the great steel frame
work doubled and the back Of the
great ship broke.
Slowly at first, then with ever In
creaslng speed, she plunged down. Be-
hind her flOated a pail Of smoke.
She struck the surface Of the Hum
Der with a terrific upheaval OF foam
Ing water.
immediately dozens Of small boats
put out from the wharves and from
vessels moored nearby, the seamen
pulling with all their strength 10 be
the first at the spot where the ZR-2
had sunk and TO search for possible
survivors.
At first II was feared that not one
man had escaped. II was believed
that all had persisted, either by the
flames during the long fall or by
drowning after the ship hurled into
the Humber.

STORING WORDS IN MEMORY
What May Be Described as Mental Photography Is Especially Valu-
 able to Theatrical People.

The unu.n-rnrnic memory is found
 most frequently in actors and ac-
 trrsSrs. who have to study a variety uf rarts in a very short time After
 time. these people form a habit of
 getting a mental photograph of the
 words. They look at the page, read
 tlp lines. and then, shutting their eyes. endcayor to. "see" the words.
 It Is habit which, once formed. is . quickly doycIoroi. The present writer 1 once "cramwrd' a part of forty-fve pages in a single day by the aid of this natural photography. It may be said at once that not everybody can acquire this species of memory. Only those, possessed of great powers Of concentration can achieve the results described. But, provf1iu~ trat person has anything Of this gift. he can build upon it until if will scry, him to an almost unllm- l ited dpErrr
 The photographic memory usually
 finds it's lest development among pco-
 rle with what are called "Bumpy"
 forehcads. They have unusual pow
 ers of visual concentraton.-Ex- change.

RAVAGED BY LOCUSTS
Province in Argentina Swept by
 Plague of Insects.
Disappear as Suddenly as They Come, Leaving Desert of Country
 They Pass Through.

BunnoS AircS.-A plague of lOCusts, like that which in ancient Egypt "cOv- cred rhc face of the earth" this year descended upon the province of Santa Fc. Similar ohenSives are almost an nuuI events in one part or other of Ar gcnJina.
 The IpcuSts come suddenly and with ouI warning. Where for year or sev- erul years perhaps not one Of the in Sr~ts hus been seen. vcritablc cloud of ,hrm will one day appear and settle un the ground. These usually come from the northwest, from the vast al- most uuluhubiled tracts in Bolivia, 1t IS supposed They cover the earth like moving carpet gradually moving on.
 At first little damage is done, aside from the Inconvenience of having lit crally millions of the insects covering everything and even penetrating the houses. But as they progress through the country they bore holes Into the earth, preferably in hard spots such as roadwuys, into which they deposit their eggs. Within a short time the layvu are matched and come forth. At first these cannot fly. and it Is at this stage that they dcyour every living plant within their path, with the eN- crptiOu of few species such as will low trees.
 A little later the insects develop their wings and, leaving the country through which they have passed a desert, they disappear sGlmoSt as sud denly as they came. Where they go to has never been discovered.
 Argentina has had recourse 10 many methods of fighting the locusts. The nation maintains organized locust fighting squads, something like those formed to fight fires, and these are sent every year to the sections invaded. In addition, every rnnCher is held respCn- Sible for fighting the pest in his own locality.
 One uf the methods employed Is to dig trenches in which the insects are collected, afterward being burned. But no matter how many millions of them are made away with In any such man. ncr, 1t is impossible to block the pest, owing to the great extent of Argentina, much of which Is still very sparsely settled
