Calendar Reform Consideration.

Calendar reform proportions will be
considered by an international coIfven-
ton to be held in october next.
Through the League of Nations, several
hundred plans introduced for construc-
ton of a new calendar have been mar
rowed down to two groups of proposals
for a fixed perpetual calendar. One
group consists of those plans providing
for division of the year into Is months,
each with four weeks. The other Is
made up of the so-called equal quarters
schemes, which retain the present num-
ber of months, merely changing the
days in some of them so as to equalize
the quarters of the year. In the united
states it is believed the 13-month pro-
posal would be better.

terial seems to enter into the pores of

The insulation Is said to be complete,
and the coating withstandS wear and

Pernambuco, where the temperature
was almost tropical, his nose was as

I was now directly above the

which had not moved. Its whole
attention was on Bert and Pearl and
the famished look cleaning from its
eyes clearly indicated that it was
starved. 1t meant to gorge on
human meat

Armed with knife in one hand
and revolver in the other, 1 crept
along the ledge and, as noiselessly
as possible, lowered my body until
I stood behind the beast, which was
gathering its giant frame into a
crouch. It was preparing to spring.
Pearl screamed. Bert uttered q
yell.
rushed forward. The bear, con-
confused by sounds from the rear,
partly turned, saw me and lifted q
mammoth paw, balancing and
snarling. 1t was my chance. l fired
five shots in quick succession, and,
the animal sank in a lifeless heap
Of fur.

Those five shots were a double
life-saver. Their reverberations
pierced to the Queen of the Skies
lowering in the fog.
The life-basket was tossed down.
I caught it. You 60 first" I said
to Pearl who. with Bert, had joined
me from below.
She shook her head decisively.
i"And take chances on leaving you
and Bert stranded? Send up the
polar bear"
Our sides shook with laughter.
We could picture the shock the un-
expected sight of the big, beautiful
brute would bring on the Zeppelin.
We dumped the carcass into the
basket, gave the signal and let go.
The basket disappeared.
While We waited for the return
OF the basket, we ourselves received
a shock. We made the most astound-
ing Of discoveries.

It was that Of a darkish middle
