" ' Testing Aero Engines.
In testing an aeroplane engine of 200
horsepower a Detroit company mount
ed it upon a heavy motor truck, and
the aerial propeller sent the truck fly
ing, along a boulevard at the rate of
over forty miles an hour, says the Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. This was a
speed that the truck could not begin to
develop under its own motor power,
and the method furnished a better
practical test of the twelve cylinder
aeroplane engine than was possible in
the testing laboratory or In any sta
tionary trial on blocks. As an addi
tional test the rear wheels of the two
ton truck were locked, so that they
could not revolve, and in this condition
it was driven across a ball park by the
aeroplane engine and propeller through
heavy drifts of snow and over ice.
The motor weighs 800 pounds and de
velops power sufficient to drive a
twelve passenger aeroplane at forty
miles an hour.

Lord Brougham's Dream.
' Lord Brougham was one of the most
stubborn believers in the "common
sense" explanation of ghostly appear
ances as dreams. At Edinburgh uni
versity he and an intimate friend drew
up an agreement written with their
blood that whichever of them died first
should appear to the survivor. Years
passed; the friend was in India, and
Brougham had almost forgotten his
existence. Arriving late one night at
an inn in Sweden, Brougham had a hot
bath and was going to get out of it
when he looked toward the chair on
which he had left his clothes and saw
his friend sitting on it Brougham
seems then to have fainted. On get
ting home he received a letter announc
ing that the other had died In India at
the very time. Yet this incident
TtrTiloli mnct rtiwirtln titmiiIiT nut- rlnwn to
telepathy at least was dismissed by '
Brougham as a mere dream and pure
coincidence? " -

Like Newton. Herbert Spencer in
his schoolboy days showed no aptitude
for study. Ilugh Elliot, his biographer,
saya of him that "he was very back
ward as a boy In the ordinary subject
of children's lessons. Morally
he was extremely disobedient and con
temptuous of authority." At thirteen
he "found the discipline of his school
more severe than lie cared about and
he ran away home to Derby again,
walking forty-eipht miles the first
day." Yet as a man. "without money,
without special education, without
health," says his biographer, "he pro
duced eighteen large volumes of phi
losophy and science of many diverse
kinds, published a variety of mechan
ical Inventions, and on endless other
subjects, jrreat mid small, he set forth
a profusion of new and original ideas."
The No Breakfast Plan.
The breakfast eating habit often cre
ates an abnormal stomachic condition.
If oue is in perfect health and arises
with a keen appetite for breakfast
there will be no occasion for omitting
the nieaL There are, however, but few
in perfect health, and the omission of
breakfast gives the stomach a chance
to adjust itself. It has an opportunity
to develop a keen appetite for the par
ticular character of nourishment most
needed by the body at that time. The
no breakfast plan Is a splendid means
of properly adjusting one's appetite,
both as to quantity and character of
food. Physical Culture.

FOR PROTECTION OF SHIPS.
Owners Seek Safeguarding of Merchant
Vessels From Submarines.
New York. After a series of meet
ings, attended by a number of the
leading ship owners, shippers and un
derwriters in the United States, an as
sociation was formed to co-operate
with the government In seeking devices
for the protection of merchant ships
against the submarine menace. The
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved. That a voluntary association
be formed under the name of the "Sub
marine Defense association" to co-operate
with the United States government In
seeking devices for the protection of mer
chant ships against attack by submarines
and particularly to bring to the attention
of ship owners and underwriters devices
which have been approved by the advisers
of the government or other experts with a
view to the earliest possible use of such
of them as promise to be of value In pro
tecting merchant ships against attack by
submarines.
Since the United States entered the
war many devices to protect ships
have been suggested, and so far as
they could do so the advisers of the
government have considered these sug
gestions and have approved some of
them. In so far as these devices have
related to naval vessels or campaigns
against the submarine, they could be
considered only by the navy depart
ment. But devices have also been
brought forward which may be found
available for the protection of mer
chant and passenger ships. Many of
these have been considered by the gov
ernment, but In so far as privately
owned vessels are concerned the gov
ernment's action was mainly advisory
In Its nature.
EX-CONVICT A HERO.
Led Attack Which Inspired Whole Rus
sian Division to Fight.
Petrograd. The hero of the army In
the woody Carpathians is a former
convict from Sjberia, who, bj bjs ex
ample, Inspired an attack by forces
which heretofore had obdurately re
fused to charge. The ex-convict
whose rank Is sergeant led fifty vol
unteers In a rush on a German blind
age. The attacking party, confused by
heavy fire, wavered, whereupon the
sergeant alone climbed a breastwork
and hurled a bomb among the enemy.
Attacked by three Germans, he saber
ed and shot two of them. Then with
only eighteen followers several strong
ly held blindages were rushed. This
produced general panic among the en
emy and resulted In the capture of
many prisoners.
The sergeant was promoted to an
officer's commission, two regiments In
vited him to take command, and the
Whole of his division resolved imme
diately to participate In an offensive.

U BOATS WITH CUTTERS.
Heavy Circular Knive3 Have Been At
tached to Steel Hawsers.
Base of the American Flotilla In
British Waters. The captajn of a tor
pedoed merchantman has turned over
to the naval authorities here a sketch
of a new type of German submarine
equipped with a wire cutting device
designed to release it from nets. The
sketch shows several strands of stout
steel hawsers stretched from the bow
through the conning tower to the stern.
Attached to these is a series of heavy
circular knives a foot In diameter and
placed about a yard apart
The captain made the drawing while
In a small boat after his ship had been
torpedoed. The theory of the captain
is that a boat so equipped would have
h.ope ?f bein
able to cut its way
through any steel nets In which it
might become enmeshed.
ABSINTH UNDER CfTY BAN.
Health Board Forbids Manufacture or
Sale of Cordial.
New York. The directors of the
board of health passed an amendment
to the sanitary code forbidding the
manufacture or sale of absinth In this
city. Dr. naven Emerson, health com
missioner, said that this action had
been taken because absinth is a harm
ful adulterant equivalent to a habit
forming drug.
Dr. Emerson gave out this analysis
of the cordial:
"Absinth ordinaire contains 47.G0
per cent of alcohol, the deml-fine 50
per cent and the fine OS per cent Ab
sinth Is composed of oils of wormwood,
angelica, anise and marjoram. This
combination Is an Intense poison rath
er than a tonic and an aid to digestion,
as supposed by many."
WORE LID IN COURT; FINED.

New York. His failure to remove a
$1.50 hat in the men's night court cost
Thomas Thermopoulous $Ti.
He was seated among the spectators.
A court attendant ordered him to re
move his headgear. Instead. Ther
mopoulous saluted. The attendant re
peated the order. The spectator's top
cover remained firm. He walked out
of the courtroom saluting.
"Bring that man back and charge

Magistrate Corriga'n.
Thermopoulous explained he thought
the salute sufficient The magistrate
differed.

Meeker was emphatic in his assertion

Our Supreme Court.
As originally made up the supreme
court consisted uf u chief justice and
five associate justices. In 1S07 a sixth
associate was added when a new dis
trict had been created to take. in the
new western territory comprising the
states of Ohio, Tennessee and Ken
tucky. In 1S37 the expansion of the
nation westward again called for an
increase In the court, and two more
associate justices were added.
In 1SG3 a ninth associate justice was
needed, but five years later, when ap
proaching vacancies made it likely that
President Andrew Johnson might have
the appointment of the new members,
congress, then in open antagonism to
the chief executive, reduced the num
ber to seven, thus preventing him from
making an appointment
This number two years later, after
the Inauguration of President Grant
was Increased to eight associate jus
tices and a chief justice, and as then
constituted the court has remained.
Her Secret of Success.
"How is It that you are able to do so
much more than other people?" asked
a tired, nervous woman who stopped
Mrs. Palmer for a word at the close of
one of her lectures.
"Because," she answered with the
sudden gleam of a smile, "I haven't any
nerves or any conscience, and my hus
band says I haven't any backbone."
It was true that she never worried.
She had early learned to live one day
at a time, without "looking before and
after." And nobody knew better than
Alice Freeman Palmer the renewing
power of joy. She could romp with
some of her very small friends In the
half hour before an important meeting,
go for a long walk or ride along coun
try lanes when a vexing problem con
fronted her, or spend a quiet evening
by the fire reading aloud from one of
her favorite poets at the end of a busy
day. Mary R. Parkman in St Nicho
las. Poisonous Snakes.
Poisonous snakes have a diamond
shaped head, about four times larger
at the jawbone than at the neck, and
sharp tails. All snakes, however, are
poisonous during the "shedding" pe
riod of seven days. They go blind two
days before shedding. The Gila (pro
nounce hee-la) monster is so called on
account of being found near the Gila
river in Arizona and New Mexico. Its
bite Is deadly, and It is much feared
by the Indians, as no remedy Is known
for the bite. They are peculiar crea
tures, having the shape of a large liz
ard, with feet marked like those of a
monkey. Some scientists say that the
bite of the Gila monster Is not poison
ous In itself, but that If its breath is
blown on a person with a weak heart,
the person will faint away for an In
definite time. In captivity the Gila
monster is fed on warm milk and chop
ped meat every six weeks. WIdo

Life Saving Aeroplanes.
Aeroplanes may In time be a part of
the regular equipment used by the
United States life saving service.
There are numerous cases in which It
Is impossible for small boats to reach
a stranded steamer In heavy weather.
Upon some occasions even the line
throwing guns cannot get a hawser
aboard. It is argued that aeroplanes
in any but exceptional circumstances
would be able to carry a line to ves
sels in distress, making it possible to
use a breeches buoy and get passen
gers and crew to shore.
Should congress approve this plan it
would open a new field to aviators
more hazardous than any other branch
of flying, not excepting war work.
They would be compelled to make as
cents in the worst possible weather,
requiring skfll and courage of the high

Purely Business.
Little Bobbie, aged five, was one of
those who permitted few things to es
cape his attention and consequently
was always asking questions. Some
of the members of the family were
talking about life insurance, and Bob
bie had to know what that was. He
was told it was a provision whereby,
when his father died, the family would
receive a certain sum of money. This
seemed clear to the youngster, but it
was noticed he seemed to be engaged

Wanted" to Help Him.
His kindness to his men once placed
Dr. William H. Nichols in a predica
ment which caused him the worst mor
tification hi his whole life, says a writ
er in Leslie's. The head of one of the
concern's largest customers came to
him and complained that be had been
systematically cheated by short weigh
ing of carboys containing acid. Dr.
Nichols could not believe the allega
tion, but on going to the consumer's
plant fifty carboys were weighed, and
each was found ten pounds short He
promised to make an immediate inves-,
tigation.
One employee was pointed out to Dr.
Nichols as the man responsible for see
ing that every carboy contained the
proper quantity of acid. This em
ployee Dr. Nichols would have trusted'
with his own money. But when ques
tioned he colored up and stammered.
Finally he blurted out:
"Mr. Nichols, the boys Is very fond
of you, and we wanted to help you."
Ths Diphthong.
Answering the question, "Why was
the diphthong devised and why has it
disappeared from general use?" the
New York Sun says:
A diphthong is any two vowels that
come together In the spelling of a word.
Diphthongs were not deliberately de
vised any more than English spelling
was deliberately invented. They have
not disappeared from general use ex
cept In a few instances. In a "proper
diphthong" the sounds of both vowels
are retained, though merged in one syl
'abie, as in "noise." An "improper
:;phthong" is one in which the sound
f only one of the vowels is heard.
Jo" in "people" Is an illustration. Such
banges as have been made in diph
thongs have aimed at keeping the vow
el sounded. That Is why some prefer
to write "maneuver" in place of "ma
noeuvre." Then there is the simplified
speller's favorite "thru."
Woman and Her Beauty.
Woman is the master stroke of beau

No chisel ever carved such lines of
softness; no painter ever put such lus
ter in the eye. Nature molded cliffs
and gave us twilights, gave us the
horizon in the east and west; gave us
the flowing, shimmering river that
travels toward the sea; let the moon
beams glimmer on the tranquil ocean:
gave us flowers with their fluffy pet
als, some soft and snowy white, oth
ers tinted all the colors of the rain
bow. Yet when all has been looked
upon, when all the landscapes have
been viewed with wonder, man turns
back to something stronger, turns back
to that which soothes and heals, back
to that which satisfies the eye and
heartstrings woman, the crowning glo
ry of all revealed. St Louis Post-Dispatch.
Start of Our Navy.
The United States navy has the dis
tinction of being somewhat older than
the government itself, for nine mouths
before the actual Declaration of Inde
pendence congress authorized the con
struction of two "national" cruisers
and appointed a committee to purchase
vessels to form the nucleus of a fleet
Within three months of its appoint
ment this committee got together four
teen armed vessels and appointed a
personnel uf officers, among whom was
the famous old sea dog, John Paul
Jones. During the war of the Revolu
tion the Infant navy captured as many
as S0O prizes, but suffeied so heavily
that by the time peace was declared it
had almost ceased to exist. A new
start on a more ambitious scale was
made in 1794.
The "Tawdry Saint"
St Ethelreda has been unfortunate,
Inasmuch as her memory is perpetu
ated in the disagreeable adjective
"tawdry," and she is sometimes even
referred to as the "fawdry saint" In
the Isle of Ely, where she died, a fair
was formerly held in her honor, at
which a peculiar kind of cheap but
showy lace was sold, which, as St
Ethelreda's or St Audrey's lace soon
became proverbial and tawdry, an easy
corruption of the saint's abbreviated
name, was used to denote all things
more gaudy than valuable. London

Fighting the Fly.
An excellent remedy for the fly pest
is formaldehyde. The correct strength
may be secured hy adding three tea
spoonfuls of the concentrated formal
dehyde solution to a pint of water.
The solution should be kept in such a
way that the flies can drink It A good
way Is to take an ordinary thin walled
tumbler and fill it partly full of the so
lution. Place on a saucer or small
plate a piece of white blotting paper
and cut it to the size of the dish. Then
place it over the glass and turn the
glass bottom up on the dish. As the
solution dries out of the saucer the
tumbler should be slightly raised up,
so that the liquid will again flow over
the entire surface.
Another simple remedy to keep flies
out of the house Is by means of an
odor unpleasant to flies. Any odor
pleasing to man is offensive to the fry
and will drive them away, as, for in
stance, oil of lavender, diluted; gera
nium, mignonette or heliotrope.
Cows' Milk and Casein.
It has been proved that casein, which
forms over 3 per cent of the total
weight of cows' milk, is an important
commercial product and may be profit
ably employed in the manufacture of
glue, combs, buttons, linoleum, hair
pins, toys, paints and even shoe polish.
In the preparation of casein for com
mercial purposes about 700 gallons of
skimmllk are put into a great vat and
heated to about 135 degrees F. Then
very dilute sulphuric acid is added to
precipitate the casein or curd. The
whey Is drawn off, and the curd is
drained and cut into chunks, after
which streams of cold water are play
ed on it to wash out the acid. The curd
Is then dried with rotary fans and
ground into powder, In which form it is
placed on the market One hundred
pounds of skimmilk will yield about
three and one-half pounds of casern
powder. Popular Science Monthly.
Value of Thunderstorms.
"Thunderstorms," says Professor
Ward in Science, "bring us much that
is of benefit To them we owe much, in
parts of our country even most of our
' spring and summer rainfall. Without
these beneficent thunderstorms our
great staple crops east of the Rocky
mountains would never reach matur
ity. One good thunderstorm over a con
siderable area at a critical crop stage
Is worth hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to American farmers. Our stock
markets time and again show the fa
vorable reaction of such conditions
upon the price of cereals and also of
railroad and other stocks. Thunder
showers break our summer droughts,
cleanse" our dusty air, refresh our
parched earth, replenish our failing
streams and brooks, bring us cool even

pressive days."
Kindergartens.
"The first kindergartens in our coun

The remarkable value of this training

recognized, and mission kindergartens
became numerous. Then the more
progressive cities and towns tried them
experimentally In their public schools.
That their worth has been abundantly
proved 13 clearly shown by the spread
of the kindergarten, and the general
Introduction of kindergarten training

In one of the eastern countries on June

The officer was uninjured. One of
the men had both legs broken, besides
Internal injuries, and both were taken
to a hospital apparently in a dyiu

One of the survivors, it Is reported
saved himself by making a parachute

Part of the wreckage caught ha t

broken the fall and saved the men's
lives, but a subsequent explana'Ion is
that the burning ship slipped diagonal
ly through the air in falling, retaining
sufficient buoyancy to consume a full
five minutes In its downward flight.
This is the first occasion any sur
vivors have been found of the crew of
a Zeppelin brought down In flames.

A naval petty officer, who was one
of the first to reach the burning wreck

"Just as I jumped a hedge and start
ed toward the Zeppelin I saw one of
her crew walking toward me.. He was
a tall, clean shaven man, wearing a
fur collared overcoat and thick hoots
and leggings. He was very pale and
seemed terribly shaken. I called to
him, and he came on. I pulled a piece
of paper out of my pocket and made
signs to him that I wanted any papers
he might have, but he simply threw up
his hands and shook his head.
"I asked him how many men were
on board the Zeppelin, and he held out
his hands with thumbs and fingers
outstretched twice, which I took to
mean twenty."
INDIANS CLAIM HUGE
SUM FROM GOVERNMENT
Three Pacifto Coast Tribes, Reviving
Old Treaty, Ask 512,000,000.
Marshfleld, Ore. On the spot where
the treaty of Empire was signed Aug:
80, 1S33, between the United States
government and the coast Indians, In
cluding the Coos, Umpqua and Siuslaw
tribes, the remnants of those aborigines
met at Empire and sat in council to
consider the settlement of their claims
against the United States government.
The council was called to provide a
chief for the Indians of the tribes men
tioned, the last recognized chief, Bob
Burns, who was a Coos, having died
five or six years ago. Until the at
tempt by George Wasson, a Coos de
scendant and a graduate of Carlisle,
to secure for the coastal tribes a set
tlement of their claims, there has been
no apparent reason for a chief, for the
remnants of the tribes were scattered
and without concentration.
When the treaty of Empire was dug
from the dusty tomes of tho Congres
sional library and department of the
Interior, congressmen who were fair
minded toward Indian claims ordered
an Investigation, which, to bo present
ed hi legal form, demanded tho elec
tion of a chief and credentials for tho
thj-ee tribes who were signatories to
the treaty.
The government after twenty years
sent a special agent to their last gov
ernment "corral" at Yachats to siirn
another treaty, but the Indians are in
sisting upon their rights under the
original treaty. Tho claims set up ly
tho three tribes represent something
over $12,000,000. They believe that
they can effect a settlement within tin
next two yenrs.

tho Greek "arlstos" (best) and "anho"
(rule), meaning the rule of the host
