Cody's Plan for Diming Bombs; Two Thousand Peet' Up Mr. Cody, London, has revealed a' highly ingenious plan for fighting dirigibles of the Zeppelin type. He says: "I call my method 'fishing for the enemy,' and that is really what It Is like. My device is based on the knowledge that aeroplanes can fly teeter and higher than any Zeppelin, and the process , has been already tested and found practicable and efficient. My plan is to ey up until my machine fa one or two thousand feet above the dirigibles and then to fish for them with a long, thin steel hawser,' at the end of which I propose to have a bomb of my own invention. That ' bomb will be of a very high power and easily exploded. In fact, the least touch will fire it, and it will shoot Hames in six directions at once to a distance of eight feet each, If my first 'drag' misses its mark, all I have to do is to wheel round and try again. Following after the spurts of flame there will issue from my bombs pieces of lighted tow or other material soaked' in some highly in- flammable spirit, which will inevitably fire any portion of the structure of the dirigible that may have :escaped the first effects of the explosion, The vessel would- be absolutely at the mercy of the man in the aeroplane sailing a thousand feet above it. He could trail his bomb backwards and forwards to any point. The enemy meanwhile would have nothing to aim at with their guns except the quickly - moving 'plane, and would have to fire upwards. I have seen experiments in firing from dirigibles, and I am quite sure their work would be practically useless. Suppose a Continental enemy has determined to attack us with a fleet of dirigibles, she will have to employ vessels that can keep flying for long periods. All that we require to destroy them is a fleet of aeroplanes that will keep flying for a few hours. There is a good deal of loose talk about these dirigibles of the Zeppelin type. We are told they can lift twenty-seven tons. That sounds for- midable. But they have a weight of their own of twenty tons, so that their real capacity is only about seven tons. With an aeroplane of my own and a 3 pound gun I could circle round and round and above any airship I know of and fire a shot through every bal- lonet, I have been up over 7,000 feet, and could easily get above them." RUGS IN COWSHED , How a Dairyman Blinded an Inspect. , Ing Committee After having had several bouts with the Porttaua Sanitary Committee about cowshed regulations, a Dorset dairy farmer had an elaborate joke at the expense of the inspection com- mittee. He made preparations for the visit by spreading linoleum over the floor of his cowhouse, displaying bearthrugs in convenient positions, hanging the walls with pictures, a mirror, and a motto, "Until we meet again," and furnishing the Interior with chairs and a harmonium. When the committee called he gravely asked them to wipe their feet on the door. mat, and explataed that the harmon- ium was for the cow to play while the calf danced. The committee were too much amused to feel hurt, but when they hadgone g ne tits farmer In- formed his friends that they were so taken up with the decorations that they had forgotten to examine the drains or to fulfil any of the objects of the inspection.

LADY'S "MENAGERIE" Stockbroker Complained of Being An- noyed by His Neighbor A further case arising out of a Sydenham lady's domestic "mena- gerie" was heard at the Greenwich Police Court. Mrs, Juliette Hughes was summoned for abusing her neigh- bor, Mr. T. Owen, a stockbroker. Mr. Thomas, counsel for Mr, Owen, said that Mrs. Hughes kept a number of dogs and ducks and geese—quite a menagerie, in short. He read a letter which she had written to Mr, Owen, saying that he had accused her of stealing a garden hose. "You have spoiled my character," she wrote, "and children call nye a French pin- cher." The conduct of Mrs. Hughes had become unbearable. Mr. Owen had been in his house for seventeen years, and was most anxious to stop this annoyance. Mr, Owen, sworn, said that Mrs. Hughes from her front garden called to him, "Can you smell the geese? Can you smell the rubber burning?" There had been some words over the garden hose and some geese, and they had had to call in a sanitary inspector about the smell from the geese. He had put up with the annoyance for two years. Mrs. Hughes now said she remarked to someone in her house, "Can you smell the rubber burning?" She did not apply the remark to Mr, Owen, She admitted sending pictorial postcards to hire on which she had written, "Can you smell the geese?" Mr. Hutton bound Mrs. Hughes over to keep the peace for twelve months, and ordered her to pay 50 cents costs.

The police made baton charges, dispersing the strikers. ONE FLY IS MORE DAN. 6EROUS THAN A SNAKE. Dr. Hairy Skinner, lecturing at tit Academy of Natural Sciences in Nem York, averred that he would rather have a rattlesnake In his kitchen than cue common housefly. Few house holders will agree with this statement Doubtless it was made to emphasize the intensity of the speaker's abhor rence of the buzzing pest which will soon begin to dispense his exquisftt torments in dwelling .rooms unless means are adopted to repel the winged invader. The torture, however, is the least o1 woes. The perils our eyes do not see are immeasurably greater than the sting thatirretatee tbe nerves and spoils the temper. Flies thrive upon garbage. Ever3 trace of refuse should be promptly re moved from the neighborhood of a dwelling and scraps of food burned se disposed of otherwise than by standing thew in some pail The filth so caughl up and transferred by the flies is s source of grave danger and a prolific cause of sickness.

WHITE CANNIBALISM Terrible Story of Escaped French Convicts From Devil's island A story or cannibalism recalling the famous murder trial, 11. v Dudley, in which wrecked sailors were indicted for killing and eating a ship's boy, was reldtecl in the French Press. Four convicts, named Mouillar•d, Bachereau, Fossey and Machevel., arranged to escape from Devil's Island, the penal colony in French Guinea, They left ane night, and Bachereau promised to lead them to a place where they would be able to dig tor gold and make enough to live on till they could escape from the colony altogether. They left with a sword apiece, some loaves of bread, and some preserved vegetables in tins. Fossey acted as guide, saying that he knew the way to the River Mana, where gold was plentiful. After a sixdays' march Fossey admitted that he had lost his way. The four men wandered about aimlessly for eight days more, living on roots. Starva- tion overtook them. Machevel broke down, and his three companions killed and ate him. By means of stealing a boat the survivors got to Mana, where the Y were able to steal a lar- ger boat. They were wrecked at the mouth of the Marone, and taken back to prison at St. Laurent, The three men confessed to eating their com- panion. anion. EVICTION OF BACHELORS Must Get Married or Give up Their H ousels Many complaints are made' by mar- ried arreed laborers in Ireland that they can not obtain cottages to live in, and that a number of cottages provided by public authorities are occupied by bachelors. The Trim Rural Council gave notice some time ago to Bache• lora occupying cottages that they must either get married or give up posses. aeon, but despite the fact that the publication of this decision brought proposals of marriage from all parts of the world, it was reported to the council that none of the bachelors had found wives. Some of the tenants asked for an extension of time, but the order went forth that the unmar- ried men must go, Young Bigamist William M'Cregor, laborer, was sen- tenced to nine months' imprisonment at Glasgow for bigamously marrying a Bridgeton woman, The accused, who is twenty-three years of age, married previously, the marriage ap- parently not having been a happy one. The accused met the second woman in Arran, where site was employed as a tablemaid in an hotel, and where he was working on a farm. After contracting the irregular marriage he deserted the woman within a few months. ,. CASTOR 1 A For infants and Children.
