The idea of having the pit. deeper fur

be required.

LUCK IN AN AIRPLANE.
1:10141.1.t......2a011111011.1
Curious Bit of Good Fortune That
Saved an Army Aviator.
Many an army aviator °Wee his life
to miraculous good fortune, like tele.
British airman whose escape is de-
scribed in "Tales of the Flying Ser-
vices," by C. G. Grey.
An otficer went out on a bombing
expedition and met a German ma-
chine. In order to save weight he
had left his small arms behind him,
but he thought it was IL pity to pase
by a good target, and so he decided
to drop a bomb on. him. But arop-
ping a bomb on a swiftly moving
mark isanot the same as firing at a
fixed point. Se he missed the Ger-
man. 'Unfortunately for him, he aleo
exposed himself to the fire of the en-
emy, and received a rifle bullet in the
thigh.
To be strictly accurate, the bullet
struck his trousers pocket, hit a five -
franc piece, broke itself and the coin
and distributed the assorted pieces of
metal about the lower part of his
body.
Feeling that he was badly hit, the
pilot shut off his engine and dived for
the ground from a hoight of about
6,000 feet. When he was a thousand
feet from the ground he espied some
aeroplanes in a field, and, not know-
ing whether he was over German or
French territory, he made up his
mind to land among the aeroplanes,
certain that if they did happen to be
German machines he would be well
treated by the flying corps.
Two hundred feet above ground he
completely lost consciousness. but in
some curious sub -conscious way he
made a perfect landing right along-
side of a British motor ambulance. So
well did he land that for some min-
utes no ono troubled about him.
When they did go to look they found
a badly wounded officer in a state of
collapse.
He was promptly put into the am-
bulance and sent off to the hospital.
There it was found that the bullet
had cut a large artery, and that the
pilot would have bled to death in a
few minutes if the bullet had not aleo
cut a muscle, which had sprung back
and wrapped itself like a piece of
elastic round the artery and formed,
as it were, an automatic tourniquet.

The following letter was written by
a farmer near Yorkton to a friend in
Winnipeg in reference to a couple of
Youths who came down front the city
to help with the harvest. The youths
at home "assisted" in a bank for a
few hours each clay and thought they
were working. After putting in part
of a day in an oat field their desire
to help to win the war by working
in the harvest got a SeriOUS setback,
and they hurriedly departed for the
busy haunts of trade. The farmer is
writing the friend to send out a couple
more men. The letter follows;
Dear Jehn,—I take my pen in hand
to let you know we are all well and
rite in the midst of the harvest, but
the main thing I want to tell you is
about the two dudes from Winnipeg
that came down to help with the
stooking. I rec'd word from the em-
ployment buret u in Winnipeg that
they was coming at $2,75 a day and
brd, so I was down to the Station to
meet them. Well Sir there was two
kids got off—long about 18 or 19 years
old they was. They was wearing
white shirts with big white collar over
their coats, and button boots with
cloth tops on 'em and nifty suits and
checked caps.
One of them he was the freshest
guy of the two come up to mo and he
says Hello Rube, how is the little old
alfalfa this fall flippin his fingers ofen
the end of my whisicers. The other
lad says to me stand right where you
are kiddo and let me feast on you: -
Oh Alfred isn't that makeup perfect
he says, couldn't he step right onto
the stage now without ever going near
the dressing room. I didn't know
what he was talking about cause I
only had rey working clothes on. I
said are youse young guys looking for
work. They said they had como
down to pick up a _tittle easy money
and secure some relief from the strain
of the city. Do you think you can
stand stookin I said and they told me
they thought they were in pretty good
condishun as they had been playing
pool all summer. Each of them had
a nice new suitcase and I thought they
was kind of light when I was throwing
them in the democrat. Afterwards
when they were at work the missus
looked in them and all there was was
all kinds of cigarettes, a safety razor
and a sweater. When we was driving
out to the farm they was asking all
kinds of foolish questions abousatidthiet

For the last two years the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway, _in connection
with the Pacific eteamers of the Cana-
dian Pacific Ocean Services, has car-
ried a very large proportion of the
passengers from the United States to
Russia, and as these passengers have
included a great many American rail-
road men, who haveleen surprised
at the excellenec of the service, a
remarkable volume of trade is de-
veloping, greatly to the benefit of
Canada itself, Among these paseens

what was the name of the gee gee on
the Starboard side and he had the
gaul to ask me it he conld have $50
salary in advance.
Well that night they kindof opened
their eyes when I Showed. them the
way to the hayloft to sleep and threw
em a horse blanket. One 01 them
said, something about Mary Garden
perfume to woo the God e‘foreheure
Well I had to take a big raplash out
of them 80 acres of oats dead riP0
so 1 called the boys along about 3
o'clock in the morning. e went out
to the table with a lantern and hol-
lered up to ern, After a while I heard
a noise and one ot them came down
the ladder carrying his suitcase, He
seemed to be half asleep. Did you
call, mother—he says you seem to be
calling early this morning.
Where are you going, I says.
"I'M going some place to stay all
night," he says—"You disturb my rest
—what's the matter, couldn't you
sleep?"
; told him this was the time we
usually got up in harvest time and
he says why waste so much time in
sleep. I told him it was time to go
to work. "What's the idea," he *aid.
I told him we were going to cut oats.
Are they wild he says. I told him no,
and he says why take advantage of
them in the dark?
Afterwards the other fellow came
down. and asked me if I believed in
daylight saving, he said I seemed to be
a good hand at it.
After breakfast we got into the field.
Them oats was the tallest you ever
seen right up over the horses heads. I
was showing them dudes how to stook
and one of them asked me if he
couldn't get the loan of a steplaader
to stand the sheaves up. I could see
it was going to be heavy work alright.
Well Sir there was a heavy dew on
the ground and it wasn't long till
them fellows was as wet as though
they had been wading in water. 4
pome close to the smart Alex one
when I was passing with the binder
once and he says Hey, Pop, is there
any danger of submarines around
here, I'd .hate to get torpedoed juet
as I was leaning over to pick up a
sheaf.
After a while one of the lads hailed
me when I was passing. "How is the
time," he said. I looked at my watch
and told him a. quarter to eight.
"Gawd," he said, "I thought it was
near 1 o'clock. This is about the
time I roll off the little old ostermoer
in town," he said. We went to eat
along about noon with the sun red hot
and them two lads had faces on then1
like the comb of our turkey gobbler.
They was clean faded and they just
dragged themselves up to the pump.
How do you feel says one of en in a
'weak voice. I feel says the other just
like Jim Jeffreys felt after he was
down for the thied count. I feel like
another and then been puttee through
a knot hole. You could wring a tub of
water out of me right now. Well WI
we went into dinner and the milieu*
nee the table piled high with new po-
tatoee and .enione and. homemade
bread and fried - eggs and prunes.
Those city yaps just lit into that as
it they had been starved for a month.
About eight eggs each they et. I says
to one ot them is your legs hollow.
1 understand he says right back thee,
the board is thrown in with this job,
es I says and you seem to be throw-
ing it in allright. Why don't you get
a pitch fork. Well anyway they felt
better atter they had fed up a bit and
smarty says to me Alfonso could you
have the Q/lef bring in some berencli
vintage and a couple of perfectos. The
other fellow says when do we take our
siesta, 1 says what do you mean and
he says when do we hit 'the hay for
an afternoon nap, I says riglet back
you hit them oats and hit them in a
hurry too, it looks like rain, Olt very
well Carlos, very well, do not be peev-
ed I pray of thee,
Well Sir they went at it again and
I could a put up more stocks in half
an hour than those two did in the
next two. After a while I stopped to
fix the binder over in one corner and
and I heard the two lads talking. How
would you like to be up to your neck
in water down at the beach one said.
And how would you like to be swing-
ing in the hammock out on the veran-
dah on Carlton street with the maid
bringing you out long cold ones in
thin glasses said the other. Think
of sitting in one of those ice ,houses
over in Norwood. Yes or think of be-
ing up one the snowfields in the
mountains. And all the time they
was wrestling with them big sheaves
of oats and the sun sending down heat
Like you was standing next to a red
hot stove. Well by and by I missed
them. I made another round of the
Tidld and then went over to where I
saw them last. Hello I shouted and
then I saw one of them stand up be-
hind a long row of sheaves they had
but up to keep off the sun. "Ad -
Vance friend and give the password,"
said Mr. Smart Alex. I was plum dis-
gusted, so I said ithe password is for

looked at me surprised like and then

ALCOHOLIC POISONING.
Ordinary alcoholic poisoning -is only
too commie the condition being in
-
deiced, by a long course of drinking,
and, the symptoms and consequences
are familiar to most people. But acute
alcoholic poisoning is a rather differ-
ent matter, and may occur accidental-
ly, like a case of poisoning by any
other highly toxic substance. Alcohol,
It can hardly be toe often pointed out,
IS in itself a poison, and an over -dose
ot it will produce death just as any
other poison will. Where a person
unused to or unfamiliar with alcohol
and its effects drinks, for example,
half a bottle of whiskey, in perfect
Ignorance of its properties, as I have
seen done by a young country girl
helping at a picnic party, the results
may easily be fatal in a very short
time. Alcohol shoule never be left in
reach oe children, tot this same reason.
The effect of the poison when taken
into the system in a large quantity
and Tepidly, is so extreme that death
may result almost at once. But more
usually* the irritating effect get the
spirit on the walls of the stomaoh
causes collapse, and as the spirit is
gradually observed the patient passes
into a state of coma resembling that
resulting from an ordinary drunken
bout, This is due to the narcotic
action ot the alcohol on the hem!.
epheres of the brain. This unconscious-
ness inay be deep or slight, according
to the individual and to the quantity
of poison absorbed. The limbs are
limp and helpless, the skin flusliFd
but cold to the touch, and the pupils
are dilated. The breathing is deep
and sometimes stertorous. Muscular
twitchinge are of frequent Occurrence,
and may pass into epilepsy. This is
produced by the action of certain kinds
of spirit, notably absinthe and rye
spirit. In fatal cases of alcohol pots-
oing the patient may lie in a gradually
increasing coma till death occurs from
paralysis of the respiratory centres, or
he may come round, and then die
rather suddenly. A very large Propor-
tion of cases, however, yield to appro.
priate treatment, and the patient
recovers,
In any case of acute alcoholic pots.
ening a doctor should at once be sum -
monad, but in the interval before hie
arrival, or whore a doctor is unobtains
able, active treatment should at once
be undertaken. The patient should be
roused by slapping with wet towele,
should lee moved. about, and, if possi-
ble, the stomach should be washed
out with a Soft rubber tube and a tine
nen Where sufficiently awake strong
coffee should be adminittered, and the
patient put in a warm bed, If the pa-
tient showe any signe of collapse hot
bottleshould be applied together with
heated blankets and friction,

MUMPS.
Mumps is what is commonly known
as an epidemic disease, occurring in
definite outbreeks, and as it is highly
contagious it npreads rapidly, It Is
commonest in children.' between the
ages of four and fourteen, and is rare
in older persons'though it does occur
in them also. It is not, as a rule,
dangerous, but gives rise to great dis-
comfort and pain. Though itself of
usually slight importance it is occa-
sionally followed by serious conse-
quences, so that it is unwise to treat
it too lightly.
Its incubation period is long, from
fourteen to twenty-five days, and a
case or tevo have been reported in
whieh it has been as long as twenty-
nine. It is infectious from the very
first, and though the fever and swell-
ing may only last from ten days to a
fortnight the patient is unsafe to
time, for at leaet a week after this
Its earliest symptoms are headache,
slight fever, and sometimes vomiting.
The patient feels ill, and the tempera-
ture rises. A few hours later stiff-
ness and tenderness are felt in the hol-
low beneath the ear and the angle of
the pale where a. swelling soon shows
itself. This spreads and increases
till it covers the greater part of the
and neck on the'one side. The swell-
ing and inflammation may limit them-
selves to the side first attacked, but
more commonly spread to the other
side, one side being on the way to re-
covery as the other begine to swell. It
Is rare to find both sides attacked
simultaneously.
The swelliug if extremely painful
and aches a great deal, and tne saw
can hardy be moved. Only fluid food
cau be taken while the inflammation
is at 'its height as mastication
quite impossible, and the mouth can
hardly be opened.
In certain cases and in severe at-
tack e the other glands of the body may
suffer, andit is from these complica-
tions that danger arises. It is there-
fore wise to keep the patient in bed
while there is any fever, and in the
house till all inflammatory symptoms
have subsided. The diet should con-
sist of nourishing soups, meat jellies,
eggs beaten up in milk and so on,
things which need no mastication.
Local applications of warnith in the
form of bread, poultices or hot bottles
will relieve the pain and aching. An
'antiseptic gargle should be used once
a day to cleanse the throat and mouth.
A FEW POINTS ABOTJT SEA -
BATHING.
There are a few simple rules that
should be followed by everybody who
wishes to derive the full amout of
pleasure and benefit from sea -bathing,
The first is never to bathe directly
after a meal, the period allowed to
elapse varrying according to the
amount of food taken. Secondly al-
ways wet the head as well as the bOdy
or headache Is very likely to follow
trona the flow of blood to the head as
the cold water drives is from the super
field V01111016 of the body, Thirdly,
remember that the head is as unpro.
tected from the ean while the bather is
standing in the water or swimming as
It is at other times, and remeraber
therefore to wet it frequently. Third.
1Y, it a good brisk reaction does not
follow the bathe, have a forebdrathe
full of hot water in the dressing -box
or tent in Which to stand whilet dry-
ing, and use e good rough towel with
Vigor. .& blecuit or a piece of
bread or chocolate should be eaten
after the bathe to satisfy the natural
aud healthy hunger whieli follows it.

GERMANY'S COMBAT MACHINES.
On the side of the Germans, the com-
bat machines are the Ago, the Fokker,
the Halberstadt, the Roland, the Alba-
tross Bu.
The problem of the air comes down
to a question of high speed in flying, a
high factor of safety and a low -landing
speed. The trend of modern design is
toward the triplane because that type
gives these factors with additional lift-
ing powers.
The very great stresses caused by
sudden changes in direction have been
the reason for the collapse of many
machines in action before the bullets
of the enemy had reached the planee
at all.
This sudden change of direction in
the loops, the side slips, and the tail
dives wed by an aviator to gain the
valuable position for which he man-
oeuvres puts speed at a premium, and
in many cases the factor of safety was
cut clown almost to zero.
It is this new type of combat in air
that has bred the new generation of
Eagles. The tactics may be divided
into three probable clasaes of com-
bats.
First—Air duels of fighting ma-
chines where the object to be gained
is to clear the sky of enemy airmen.
Second—Air duels between armed
bombarding machines, photographing
machines or spotting machines.
Third—Air duele between large
armed airplanes.
Fourth—Fighting in formation.
CLEARING THE SKY.
The first class of combats are settled
by these tactics:
Tho aviator, being told to clear the
sky of enemy airmen, proceeds to a
speedy machine to climb as high as he
can and remain up until he sights an
enemy plane. Then he dives at it, fir-
ing as he drops. If he should not bring
the enemy down at this plunge, the
attacker must land between his own
lines and try again by climbing. It
would be fatal for him to try to climb
again before landing, as his adversary
would then have the position against
him, and would swoop like a hawk and
deetrey him.
Both lecarleleneeu and Boelke, the
famous German fleece, started this
method of attack, and brougnt ciowa
many allied machines before theee tacs
tics were analyzed. The method, of
course, is good only over one's owh
lines, despite the fact that all air
efforts are made to prevent hostile
machines crowing one's line.
With a very speedy climbing ma-
chine and an expert flyer it would be
possible to follow the rule laid down
by Major Rees, ot the British Royal
Flying Corps, which was to dive as
before, but unless an enemy was "out,"
to loop and start again to climb before
the adverse plane has chance to take
advantage of the position.
Against stow, heavy -armed observe
tion planes Um avion de chasse have
a harder time, owing to the largo
arivament of these other planes. The
same dive is attempted, but it will this
VARIOUS TYPES
OF AIRCRAFT
IN BATTLE
As this is a war of scientific sur-
prises and may later be won in the
quiet laboratory of a ,professor of
chemistry, it is only natural that the
airplane should be constantly changed
in design and equipment as either
side developed improvements that
might be ,copied.
Far from being the haphazard ma-
chine, claztena about in spectacular
fashion and witn nt,pertieular system

has been highly developed into a sep-
arate branch of. military science.
THREE CLASSES OF 'PLANES.
To begin with the 'planes used by
the Allies at present may be divided
into three classes: About 20 per cent.
of the service 'planes are the very
fast avions de chasse, or pursuit ma-
chines used exclusively for fighting;
30 per ,cent. are the slower types used
for directing artillery fire, for aerial
photography and scouting in connec-
tion with' infantry and cavalry opera-
tions; 50 per cent. are .the slower and
larger machines used for bomthng.
All of these machines carry machine
guns and some of them mount small
cannon.
Of course, these' proportions vary
continually as developments require.
At the present time, with the chances
of air raids becoming more extensive,
an increase in the number of bombing
machines may be exnected. To pro-
