There 1114e been cases of machines continuing until their petrol has been exhausted. We have captured Ger- man machines with their pilots dead. In a recent case just brought to • notice, the officer explained, a Bristol. fighter (two-seater, with guns fere and aft) started at 1.30 p,m. hi good flying weather. At 3,500 feet the two airmen, running 80 miles an ho tr,,at- •tncked a German Albatross, Three • other machines, two of them German, joined in the action, Both Men Killed. The British machine hung on to its quarry, and eventually got it well under the nose, the German crashing - down, ImmedMtely our machine made a sweep_ south. It had lost height in manoeuvring, and was rock- ing badly as i?out of control; but it kept steadily on until it was lost to view. A little before 4 o'clock the ma- chine fell to earth nearly 20 miles west of Arras. Both its occupants were found to be dead from bullet wounds, which had struck them in the back. The petrol tank was empty. a•There is no doubt that the two men were shot immediately the Garman Albatros fell. The Bristol machine, which is the best'and most perfectly controlled fighting machine known, of its own volition swept on a fairly even keel to a distance possibly ten miles' from where the battle took place. Then, from some reason that will never be ;kftown, the controls were shifted and a circle was made. As the total distance covered must have been under 160 miles, the machine seems to have lost speed and height gradually—possibly due to some 'mi nor injury to the engine. For over two hours the dead men were in the air before the final crash to earth.. In order to repair his damtiged aeroplane, Leading Mechanicydney P. Anderson, D.S.M., climbed out on the lower plane in a wind force of ninety miles an hour. He remained in this perilous position for an hour and three-quarters and succeeded in carrying out repairs which undoubt- edly saved the machine. For this gal- lant deed Anderson has been awarded the conspicuous gallantry medal. The trouble started when the petrol system of his machine was extensive- ly damaged in an action with enemy aircraft. After repairing the dam- age, Anderson reported to his officer that the starboard engine was boiling violently. .If the machine was to be saved the water circulation system must be re- paired, and this could only be done from the lower plane. 4 The Arc of the Covenant. The fretted silver of the river flows Beneath the hills the low light rests upon, While in the east a circling rainbow glows, Facing the storm light ,of the sink- ing sun. God sets His bow of promise on the dark, Holding the earth within its gleam- ing span Whose dual elements still form the Arc Of the Eternal Covenant with Man. I or while the Water and the Fire hold sway And whirl their shapeless being into form, Futile and fleet about the Rainbow play The forked lightnings of earth's fading storm.

WINDSOR, CAN, (93) Pty SPIES ROB DEAD TO GET INTO LINES CAUGHT BY OFFICER GUIDING ENEMY GUNS. Clothed in British Uniforms, Germans Direct Enemy Fire Upon the • Allied Lines. German spies have been.a contin- ual source of annoyance throughout the recent British retirements in Prance. Many of these spies have been detected in British uniforms, presumably stolen from bodies of the slain. A British officer in a letter to the Daily Express, tells of an en- counter with two such spies. "I had been ordered to take up a position with two guns of my section as our infantry was being forced back," he says. "I was on a Brest just in- front of my guns ready and waiting to open fire and observe the rounds, but the'specified time had not arrived, "On the right of me was the road along which a few minutes before I had managed to get my guns. It was packed with infantry, transport, guns, prisoners, and stretcher bearers struggling along with wounded. Something or other called my atten- tion to two signallers striving to lay out a wire from the road toward my observation post. I could hear a gibe made to them, some witticism which caused a laugh. Then some one else's guns to the left opened fire. In a few seconds I picked up • the target, a blue -grey shadow advancing in ap- parent silence over the top of a crest two thousand yards away. Enemy Gets Range Quickly. "I gave the order to join in the chorus of guns. The rounds were bursting beautifully, and I picked up the range quickly and well, but I no- ticed Boche shells beginning to fall on and about the road, bursting with marvellous precision. "I glanced behind at my guns just as a shell .burst 100 yards in rear of them and another 100 yards in front —a beautiful "bracket," positively uncanny, as the guns were in a splen- did position and certainly could not be seen. "I knew what that bracket meant, and longed tb give the `take cover' or- der to my gunners but only for one moment. Our job was to `carry on.' So we fired away as rapidly we could, for, after all, we do not often have the luck to shoot at moving masses of Boches. "A few minutes later I received the message. `Both guns out of action, sir' I gazed round with a jerk, and 'there below me, sure enough, both gt�ns were knocked out. "The Bodies had begun another de- liberate shoot at the other guns, and. I could see' at a glance he was some- how observing his rounds, and 'cor- recting them for lino and range, and yet there were no Hun airplanes up aloft to do it. A marvellous mystery! I determined to go to ray guns and do my best to get them into action again, ao off I moved, dodggifag around the ancient shell -holes of 1916, jumping across old German treneh'es, gilled by Our Gama. of lead hardly gone bw'ezty yards leen I hear, a buzz quite close, thb 110oqf a rejd • toleplion4.

One Stumbled and fell. I made a rush and before he could' rise I kicked as I never had kicked before —a regular, proper punt. That set- tled him, and on I went.

Fate doomed lie finish of one, but the other I had settled—with a hobnailed boot." •.r.. 1 Metric Money. This year may make history for the Mint, for Lord Southwark has just introduced a Decimal Coinage Bill in the House of Lords, says a London paper,If it be approved, Great Bri- tain will come into line with her al- lies, and will adopt their monetary rate of exchange. The simplicity of the metricsys- tem is not its only virtue. It is urg- ed—and reasonably—that trade with other nations' can be increased and friendly relations strengthened by,ne- gotiations in one universal ':money tongue," It is suggested that our present- day pound -note be divided up into thousandth parts, each to be known as one "mil." These "mils,' there- fore, will represent rather less than one farthing each. Higher rates of coinage, including four r silver and four bronze tokens—multiples of the "mil"—are also suggested, Certain British professions are already under the decimal rule, the metric system being installed in all branches of the medicine world, and also at the Me- teorological Office, where only two years ago rainfall was first register- ed in terms of the millimetre dnstead of the inch. Street Cars as Travelling Kitchen. An electric tramway car -belonging to the Halifax (Eng.) Corp., has been converted into a. travelling kitchen, It is equipped with an electrical out- fit capable of producing a thousand portions of food, and carries a tank holding 1,200 .gallons of water. Cur- rent for the stoves is obtained from the overhead wires. Meals can be served from either side of the car, and there is a cash office at each end. The kitchen may be run over any part of a system of 33 miles exactly like an ordinary tramway car. A Personal Duty.

Instantly the soreness disap- pears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonder- ful. It dries instantly. It doesn't eat away the corn or callus, but. shrivels it up without even irritating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft, or corns between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off.

It remains to be seen whether the pearl necklace ,to which so many wealthy society women are contribut- ing each a gem from their collection, and which is being sold for the bene- fit of the Red Cross, will establish a record as regards price for this par- ticular kind of trinket, says an Eng- Itsh paper. Probably it will, for its intrinsic value is certain to be very great, and this will be vastly enhanced by the associations connected with it, and which will render it an heirloom to be treasured for all time by its pos- sessor and her descendants. Up till now, the record price for a pearl necklace bought in the open market stands at 568,000, which was the sum paid for one of 240 pearls in Paris seven years ago. The highest price recorded in an English auction room so far is 524,000, paid for a three -row necklace of 108 pink pearls at Christie's in June, 1916. �.
