its wvcght-carrying ability increased
thereby.
The new three-motored (allaudlet

long--distance raiding nmachinies aund is
sultable for either ibomb dropping or
torpedo launching. Other Anmrlien
manufacturers are at work on giant
models, but as yet details of these have
not been announced.
Long-distance bombing raids are by
no means a novelty, but they have al
ways been conducted with only a few
airplanes of limited carrying rapacity,
which carried only a few hundred
pounds of bombs besides the fuel need
ed for the journey.
Among the historic bombing raids
for several reasons Is the raid on
Carslruhe on June 15. 1915. It was
conducted by 23 twin-motored Caudron
machines. In charge of Captain de K, r
illis, and dropped close to 50 large
bombs on Carlsruhe. Three of the ma
chines did not return-they had to
land and were najptureId, but the damti
age to ('arlsruhe was serious.
In the very first lnumbardmnintt of
S.tl:t on April 21. 1916. a single avia
tor started from Sallniki, tifew to Sofia.
dropped tfour bomutbhs and |r(tclaluatliun
announcingh the capture of Trelizond,
and returned to Saloniki. This exploit
was repeated by single aviators from
time to time; then on Selptenmber 15,
1916. It wwu+ repeated by four aviators
who left Saloulki at 6:'X and arrived
over Sofia at 8:40. 1 hey dropped their
bombs, many of which were effective,
and returned. They had crossed the
Balkan mountains at 6,000 feet with
out trouble, and had accomplished
what an army could not have done.
The only limitation was that the air
planes were too few in number to win
a decisive victory. In every raid in the
Balkans only four or five airplanes
participated.
Among the most remarkable long
distance bombing expeditions were the
raids on Essen and Munich by Captain
de Beauchamp and Lieutenant oDan
court on September 24 and Novembler
18, 1916, which have been repeated
since by other aviators. The raid on
Ludwig.shlafen, acc'nomplished on May
27, 1915. in which 18 airplanes took
part. also involved a flight of :abut
4400 miles. It was conducted success
fully, and only one airplane was forced
to land and submit to capture. An
other classic was the bombing rail on
the Mauser works at Oberndorf on Oc
tober 12, 1916, In which a French bomb
ing squadron and a British bombing
squadron participated, escorted by La
fayette Flying corps fighters. These
are only a few of scores of such raids.
In all these raids the aviators had to
fly from five to seven hours continuous
ly under most trying conditions, having
to protect themselves with Insufficient
arms. A night raid in large, well
armed warplanes would be easy in
comparison-and much safer.
Darkness facilitates airplane work
at close range because the aviator can
fly closer to his target with little in
creased danger of counter-attacks but
with largely augmented effectiveness.
Surprise is made more possible and
half of the attack may be accom
plished before enemy searchlights can
locate the raiders as targets for the
antiaircraft guns. In a raid of 1,000
or more giant airplanes the task of the
defenders would be rendered increas
ingly difficult beyond all proportion to
the dlflicua:y now experienced In re
pelling raids of a few flyers. The
searchlights and antiaircraft guns
themselves would be made the object
of attack and largely incapacitated.
The risk of discovery in night at
tacks could be reduced further. aC
Thkrift
Stinginess iand greed are to be ab
horred. They are at the one extreme,
while profligacy and carelessness are
at the other. The golden mean of sav
ing thrift Is to be found half-way be

Transmitting Tuberculosis.
After a long investigation a French
scientist has declared that tuberculosis
can be transmitted by the perspiration
of a person afflicted with the disease,
the germs passing through the pores.
The Tendency of Things.
The wise politicians are those who
have learned from experience the real
tendency of things, who can climb the
rocks where others have been wrecked,
or from foresight can be cool when
peril is upon them.-Froude.
Symmetry Deliberately Lackinlg.
The Church of St. Basil, In the
Kremlin, on Kremlin hill, in Moscow,
Russla, Is perhaps the only building
in the world constructed with a care
ful view to avoiding all symmetry in
color or form,
cording to experts. by the nme of i.
Sencers on airplane mIntors. At present
the roaring whirr of the motor can lie
heard for hundreds of feet and almost
the silightest hum of a motor can he
Ilckedl up by the powerful microphones
with which all of the combatants are
equippled and which magnify the slight
est soullnd. Silencers are not used be
enuse of the weight they add t, an
aircraft. but some experts contend that
this weight is more than counter-bal
banced at present by the excess fuel
which machines must carry to enable
them to fly high and to maneuver to
avoid detection as long as possible.
Progress has been made in the art of
aiming and dropping bombs to the
point where accuracy can be assured
in night work. According to statistics
gathered by Mr. Woodhouse. the bombs
now most in use are bombs of 16
pounds weight. 5i pounds, 100 pounds
and 112 pounds, with a few of 500
pounds or more. Says Mr. Woodlhouse:
"Iombl dropping from heights can
Eo,ly lhe approximately accurate. It can
he llmade molre accurate by the employ
imen't of efflEtent hornh sights. .1 few
,f the older aliators have learrned by
long practicee to drop bu(,lilts atccEurately
without sights, but as a gene ral rule,
on- can be tore accurate with the
sight titan without it."
tine difficulty remains in the use of
airplanes by night and the' inventive
faculties of the colnbatantt,, spurred on
,by the exigencies of the war, are rapid
ly oatreamrling this. Thel problemn Is to
provide light for flying operations and
for marking aircraft in flight. In Eng
land, in the early days of Zeppelin
raids, the casualties resulting to pilots
who went up at night to attack Zeppe
lins were very high because of two
things: the insufficient number and
.adly linhted landing places and the
lack of lighting devices on the ma
chines. On one occasion 15 pilots went
up and 12 had accidents on landing.
But these conditions have been
changed. A pilot who finds himself in
trouble aloft and compelled to land has
only to fire his Verys pistol to have at
least one aerodrome within gliding dis
tance brilliantly illuminated so that he
may land in safety. In addition to the
V'rys pistol night flying craft are
,lequipped with t lparuachute flare which
is tired electritally from the pilot's
set. ()in release the flare faills a cou
ple of hundred feet, unfolds and floats
downward, casting a brilliant light
over the expanse of about a quarter
of a mile.
Ilolt's landing lights are another de
vice employed. These are fastened be
neath the wings, which aid in reflect
ing the light downward when they
have been ignited electrically. Electric
headlights similar to motor car head
lights are also used, and night flying
machines now have navigation lights,
comprising a tall light and a light on
each wing tip showing white ahead.
green on the starboard, and red on the
port side. Power for these lights is
generated in a small dynamo drivey by
a miniature propeller.
With these devices to aid night fly
Ing, experts here look forward to the
time when raids may be made on the
(erman fleet and submarine bases by
big squadrons of giant machines, and
the opinion is gaining strength that in
such raids lies the solution of the pres
ent U-boat peril.-New York Times.

Succ(ess in rai.sin~; Ipoultry requires
mnre than pure-bred or scientifically
cross-bred stock. The' poultry house
is of equa:l imlnprtannce. It mtust be

two ways: It Ills a direct effect in

them the attention which they require
If the hbest results are to be obtained.
Without re,ard for the size or shape
of the poultry house, there are two
r!ules which should be followed: One I
,of these is that the building should
face the south or southeast. The other
Is that the north and northwest walls
of the building should be carefully in
sulated against the wind. It Is neither
tecessary or desirable that windows be
,lacedl In these walls. Generally
speaking, poultry houses are built too
high. Domestic poultry requires very

height is necessary in order that the
attendant may work In comfort within
the building.
Sunlight Is just as important in a
poultry house as it is in a human hab
itation. Sunlight means health when
other conditions are favorable. At the
same time. hothouse conditions must
he carefully guarded against. If a
poultry house has too much glass in
its walls. It will be too warm in the
daytime, when the sun shines hot and
the radiation of heat at night will be
so rnphl as to make the daily range of
temperature too great for best condi
tions.
Ventilation is just as important as
sunlight. Poultry, to do well, must
have fresh air in abtndance. how
ever, the ventilating system must elim
inate strong drafts. Planels of thin
cloth in the front wall of the building
seem to serve the purpose best.
In addition to the poultry house, a
good yard must be provided. There
are weeks at a time, during the wfn
ter. when the poultry must be closely
confined within the house. However,
as soon as the weather will permit.
the fowls should be given several hours
each day 4n a dry, clean yard. The
most satisfactory manner of keeping
poultry in the summer time is to give

some other place where a variety of
seeds may be planted at intervals to
raise different commodities which the
chickens can harvest themselves.
In the accompanying Illustrations, a
henhouse is shown which is snug and
comfortable, offerirg the hens every
possible Inducement to lay eggs at
close to five cents apiece while the
snow is flying. The building Is 36 by
.4 feet, patterned after a poultry house
adopted by the members of the New
York State poultry association.
It is built on a wall of concrete and
has a good concrete floor, the idea be
ing permanency and sanitation togeth
er with protection against rats and
mice. After the concrete walls have
been built, the ground is leveled inside
and settled with wate'. The floor is
placed above this, the concrete being
in the proportion 1:3:5. Instead of
using a rich cement mortar surface
coat, the top of the floor may be cov
ered with a one-inch coat of lime mor
tar made with very fine sand. This
material Is softer than cement and is
better for the poultry. There is so

FINDS SOURCE FOR POTASH
Invention of Dr. F. G. Cottrell Precipi.
tates Cement Dust From Which
It is Made.
Enormous growth in the cement in
dustry. which has been developed to
mneet the demand for building mate
rial, now promises to solve another
important economic problem-that
of our potash supply independent of
;Germany.
In the manufacture of cement there
is expelled into the atmosphere tons
of dust from the smelters which with
the fumes is carried by the wind and
settles in a destructive sediment on all
vegetation, buildings, and objects in
the neighborhood of the smelters. Now
an invention made by Dr. F. G. Cott
rell of the United States bureau of
mines precipitates the dust from the
smelters and enables the saving of the
potash contained in It.
Last year one large California, ce
ment company, that had formerly been
comupelled to pay heavy damages for
the dust distributed from its plant, se
curedl $'0,000 net profit from the pot
ash recovered by the new process. It
is now believed that cement plants at
present operating in this country can
secure a by-product of 100.000 tons of
potash that has heretofore been worse
than wasted, and that, as the cement
industry enlarges, the greater part of
America's potash supply can be se
cured from this source and at the
same time rpduce the cost of cement
manufacture.-Farm and Fireside.
Oyster Cheap Food.
Only the sea herring can equal the
oyster in cash value as a product of
the sea. This is partly because they
are so palatable and partly because
they are so inexpensive. A pint can
usually be purchased for 20 cents on
the coasts and a nourishing stew for
several persons can be made of a pint
of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean
produces more oysters than are to be
found In the oyster beds of all other
countries, but oyster farming is a
profitable Industry in many lands. The
mid-Atlantic coast is particularly noted
for its oysters.
Where Diamonds Are Sacrificed.
Enough diamonds are sacrificed each
year in the average automobile fac
tory to fit up a dozen kings' crowns!
Quantity production of automobiles re
quires that every one of the 10.0-W)
parts turned out by machinery must
nmeasure up to a high standard. Only
then will the. parts of the assembled
automoblie work together smoothly.
Thi emery wheels, used for rapid
finishing, must be "trued up" with cor
responding accuracy. Nothing less
hard than the diamond can be depend.
ed upon for this "truing."-Populau
