BAD HABITS WHICH CAN DE

FLYING ABOVE THE CLOUDS
Possible to Experience Every Degree
of Fog and Sunshine Within
Few Minutes.

The full majesty of the aerial per-
spective can only be realized when
one is above the clouds and the earth
is shut off from view. In flying on an
overcast day, when heavy banks OF
cumulous clouds lie at 5000 feet, 1t Is
possible to experience within a minute
or two every degree of fog and sum
shine. When one is passing into the
clouds, the lower surfaces of which
are almost perfectly fiat, there is an
instantaneous transition from shadow
to complete atmospheric opacity,
similar in appearance to dense fog
at the ground, but differing somewhat
from it in feeling, for the interior
of cloud seems to be drier, the air
less saturated with water vapor, than
the fogs which are met with at sea
. or ashore If the climb is continued
a few hundred feet farther, the air.
plane passes again into clear air, but
into air now of a clarity and bright
ness worthy of Mediterranean skies

the sky at sea level.-Ohio State Jour-
nal.

Preserving Fruit In Transit.

In an attempt to evolve methods of
preventing the spoilage of fruits and
vegetables by freezing while in transit
or storage, the Department of Agricul-
ture is conducting thousands of experi-
ments at the Arlington (Va.) labora-
tories, to determine at what tempera-
lures these products freeze. The expert
mental apparatus, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, consists OF a
large tank in which brine is circulated.
and thermocouples which possess. the
peculiar property of generating weak
and variable currents of electricity
when they are subjected to changes
In temperature. These variations are
registered by delicate meters. So
sensitive are the thermocouples that
they will detect difference of
temperature of .0001 degree. In ser
vice, a Test specimen of fruit and a
thermocouple are placed in one OF
twelve cups in the lid of the brine
tank. BY watching the specimen and
the meter closely the exact temporal
ture at which freezing begins is de
termined with great accuracy.

THAT'S THE STORY He TELLS
that the "Tonic" Should Explode
When 1t Did.

An Indiana manufacturer recently
enjoyed restful Sunday in the quiet
of his own home, a steady downpOur
of rain giving every assurance of his
not being disturbed. Early in the eve
ming, however, he concluded little
walk would be beneficial, and remem-
bering his wife having mentioned she
was in need of another bottle of her
favorite springtime remedy, he donned
a raincoat and braved the elements.
Pocketing his. purchase, and home
ward bound, he thought to have look
In on the evening service at the church
of which he was a devoted and valued
member. Standing in the rear of the
church, as there was an unusually
large congregation, he became much
interested in the sermon, when to his
horror there came a terrific bang, fol-
lowed by a deluge of foam flying in
every direction; all eyes were turned
his way and the sermon temporarily
discontinued while the erstwhile de-
vout church member beat his hasty re-
treat amid the laughter of the entire
congregation, having no opportunity to
explain that he was carrying home g
harmless bottle of "tonic" for his wife.

FOUND ANGLING GOOD SPORT
Many Notables Have Been Devotees
of Spcr. immortalized BY
Sir Ixaak Walton.

When President Harding prepared
himself for the responsibilities of his
great Office by spending few weeks
fishing in Florida he added one more
to the long list of notabies who have
been devotees of that sport. 1t is re-
corded that Noah was not only a good
boatman. but skillfuI angler as well.
Long before the flood, and far away
In the mists of time, there is Baby
lonian legend that Belus, son Of MINI
rod, discovered fishing. The first au-
thentic record of angling appears when
the Lord asks Job: Cant thou take
out fish with a hook?' The great
Homer immortalizes the art in the
'Iliad' and odyssey" stating that
gOdlike men, when pinched for dinner
fished with crooked hooks, and even
dlved for oysters 1t was Plato, the
Greek philosopher, who once said:
There is nothing in angling that is
noble. or daring. or requiring skill"
Charlemagne, who dominated west
ern Europe in the eighth century, adj
vised his subjects to take up the art
Of angling In order to be content. BE
cause" said he, II have never yet
known an angler who was melan-
choly."
But the greatest fisherman and phil
osopher of modern times is undoubted-
ly Sir Izaak Walton. In his "Com-
pleat Angler he indicates the prog
ress Of fishing, particularly on lur-
Ing trout. He had a different color
ed fly for every month in the year.
His books are source of informa-
ton for all, and it has been said that
In them child may wade and the
tallest giant swim. angling" said
Izaak, I" is like mathematics, in that
1t can never be fully learned, at least
not so fully but that there will always
be room for experiment by some sue
ceeding angler. Detroit News.

acted law providing that no chill
dren may hereafter be employed
during the school term on full time
permits unless they have completed
at least the eighth grade, or unless
they have been in school at least nine
years. Of all children employed on
regular permits in Milwaukee last
year, 47ae had not completed the
eighth grade. Hereafter such children
win have to continue in school, unless
they have attended school for nine
years. This, however, does not apply
to work during vacation periods, there
being no educational requirements for
vacation periods whatsoever.

People Hard to Reach.

How much remains to be done be-
fore we shall have complete lmowl-
edge of the inhabitants of our planet
is indicated by the failure of an ex-
petition from the American Museum
of Natural History TO get into COM
munication with the Naskapi Indians
of Labrador, says the Christian
Science Monitor. The summer the ex-
petition was undertaken it was sup
posed that these natives could be
reached by way of the west coast of
Labrador, but it was found to be i'm
possible. In winter they go to Mitch
equon. In the interior, fifty-five days
journey by canoe from Rupert House

Gold Found In Ireland.

The recent discovery of gold in the
streams of County Westmeath, Ire
land, calls attention to the fact that
the ancient tribesmen of that coun-
try must have been expert metallur-
gists. Although not noted as gold
producing country, Ireland is one Of
the greatest st0rehouses of antiqui-
ties In the world. 1t is literal mine
of personal ornaments, implements,
rings, torques and other Celtic an
tiquities. Kemble observed that,
with the sole exception of the mu-
seums of Scandinavia, there is scarce
ly one European collection which
shows anything like so great a
wealth of personal ornaments made
of the precious metal as Ireland" 1t
is almost certain that the gold orna-
ments found in such abundance were
made from the precious metal found
in Irish streams.

Ruler Of Vac.

Many of the inhabitants of the

kula, who were vanquished In battle
and literally driven off the earth by
their enemies. Soon after our arrival
a powerful savage named, Tethlong,
one of the Small Numbers people,
arrived on Vac with twenty Of his
men. All the others had been killed
and the women and children Lad been
taken captive, Martin johnson writes
in Asia Magazine. The natives OF
Vac received the newcomers as vel.
come addition to their fighting force
and Tethlong set about to insure his
position among his new neighbors. He
invited the entire population to q
feast, and at once sent his men. to
neighboring islands to buy up pigs and
chickens for the occasion. The devil
devils-great, followed logs. carved
roughly to represent human face,
which are erected everywhere in the
New Hebrides to guard against evil
spirits-were consulted to find a pro-
pitious time for the feasting and on
the appointed day the celebration be-
gan with much shouting and singing
and dancing and beating of tomtoms.
1t lasted for several days. Before
it was over, 720 pigs had been slaugh-
tered. The island had never before
seen such a feast. As result of his
political strategy, Tethlong, the
refugee, became the big chief of Vac.
taking precedence over the chiefs
already there.

Elevated Railroad for Cuba.

Why anyone in Cuba wants an ele-
waited railroad thrusting its steel
props through the palm fronds and
making the tRopic night hideous with
shrieking and rumbling is a puzzle to
an inhabitant of northern city, but
one thing is clear from an item in a
Havana newspaper. Controversy has
begun long before the first riveter has
put the lustiest tom-tom beaters of
the island to shame. The question now
under discussion is: Shall state, prov
ince and municipality share the ex-
pense of construction with the trac-
ton company? Strikes, legislative
inquiries and franchise suits may
follow.

WILSON TO GIVE DEBS
 PRIVILEGES

 If it is established that Debs' at tack upon President Wilson is the sole reason for the restriction of his privileges the President will order that the Socialist leader be given all of the privileges which other prison CTS enjoy
 Debs has been barred from seeing his friends because of recent bitter criticism of President Wilson and is the victim of "spitefu1 vengeance of d pitiful administration" Samuel M- Castleton, his attorney, said today.

to do so, I would probably have re- fused the request. The ownership of the gasoline has not been establish- ed"
 The time element is one of the most important factors to be considered, according to Potter. At the place where the accident occurred, both cars would be visible for 300 feet. All brakes were in good condition and the track was perfectly clear. Judging from evidence now at hand, it ap- pears that one of the cars ran past a signal.
 Several of the Derby cars passen- gers, who escaped serious injury, said after the accident that the collision and flash of flame occurred simultan- eous1y. They could give no details, claiming that the accident occurred too suddenly for any notice to be taken.
 The can of gasoline. which is be- lieved to have been responsible for the loss of life, was owned by Stephen J. Palmer, of Shelton, according to the police of that city. Witnesses claim to have seen Palmer board the car with the can and place it in the front vestibule. What action will be taken on this phase of the matter cannot be
