Robert Peters, a former resident of Seaforth, and nephew of Mr. ,John Oldfield of the 2nd conce's'sion' of Tuckersntith, was drowned on Mon- day while bathing at Port Stanley. The young man resided with his aunt, and in company with another young man had gone to Port Stanley for the day. They had been in the wa- ter for some time bathing and were running to shore when the unfortun- ate young man wa s stridken wth cramps. He is survived by 'fob sisters, one in Brampton and one in'Chicago.' They were formerly Misses. Jennie and Llbibie Peters and were well known here. A brother, William Pet- ers, was killed in one of the numerous enigagements during the South Afri- can war.. Store House Collapsed: On Thursday: last the grain store- house at Hensel]; opposite the station grounds, used by D. Urquhart and J. & C. McDonnell, Collapsed. The sup- ports were evidently; not `• strong enough to hold up the 8,000 bushels of oats which the "building contained, and this' being stored in the upper por- tion of the building, apparently made it top heavy. When the building touched the ground it burst open scattering the grain. Nearly all the grain was however gathered up in good condition. 'The building belong- ed to Mr. Urquhart.' THE FUTURE OF 'G'LIDERS The possibilities of the motorless glider still engage the attention of aeronautical men. For despite the romantic and highly important role gliders played in the evolution of the airplane—really' a (po'were'd ,glide;. --- they have survived chiefly 'as vehicles Of spbtt. However, a_change in their future^may be drawing near. .Let us ,imagine that one day huge dirigbles are flying on regular routes between 'New York, London, Paris and Berlin; and to the 'West, between ,New York, San Francisco and Tokio. Since dirigibles of this size could. carry many tons of snail, they would 'be mail ,and pas'senger carriers, much as are` the se's liners of taday,, and they would have most df the conveniences of an ocean ]in'er. ILe't us', su'ppo'se ,a business .man is making a trip from New York' ' to Tokio. Jhislt past Chicago he is called to the telephohte i by his New York office. Urgent reasons confpel him 'Vo return post-haste. Thebusiness man consults his aerial time -table and finds t'h'at the airship Aeolus from Tokio is due to pass the Icarus in which, he is flying within an hour. Two courses are open to the business man. Either he can take an airplane and fly fronn one dirigible to another, or he can take DUBLIN. and Mrs. Russell I:itt and' two sons of Windsor were Sunthay visit- ors at'.the home of Mr. and Mrs, Alex.

'O'Connor spent. Friday evening at the'hokie Of Mr. and Mrs. 'Jaick Eckert, 1S'e'atfonth,' a glider to an airport and there take an airplane to c'onne'ct with the Aeolus in flight. Unfortunately an airplane is not available, so he descends through the hatch into a waiting glid- er and is piloted downnto earth. Tran- sferring to a powered. -plane be is born swiftly , upward' to the Aeolus,, and some seven or eight hours later he is in 'New York. • All this scientific progress 'has brought well within the realm of the possiible.But why use a glider when an airplane is so much more conven- ient? Airplanes, even light ores, have heavy engines and in addition, must carry heavy loads of fuel besides many heavy engine accessories. The carrying of them forces the ' design- ers to strengthen the 'structure of the plane and again add to its weight. Thus the elimination of the engine and its accessories, of its oil and gas oline, makes it possible . to build a glider far lighter than any airplane could be built, and therefore, the glid et becomes an ideal•craft for a dirig- ihle—or a big plane—to carry. If' it has folding wings, it night conceiv, ably be stared within the envelope of an airship or the body of a plane. Be- cause of their weight it may prove to be uneconomical for an airship to car. ry airplanes, although they doubtless will always be able to attach them- selves to and takeoff from a dirigible in flight. After more than 100 years of evo- lution, the glider is being put to the test for purposes more useful than sport and teaching student pilots to fly. It seems, therefore, that a new future is opening for it and that its utility, in whatever way it is finally manifested; in commercial and mili- tary aviation, will first bemeasured by the acid test of: experience.' If the glider is used in rlommercial' and military operations, it will always be from a height. Released' from a dirigible or from an airplane, a glider must descend because it is heavier than air and has no engine' to give it any speed of; its own other than the. speed which is derived by gravity tugging it back to earth. It is thus. in, exactly the same- situation as an airplane with its engine off, and it is controlled in, the air' and 'landed' in exactly the same way, macept in land- ing its speed is very much slower .than that al an airplane, since it is much, lighter. But, considered apart from sport gliding, it cannot fly at all un- less it is first taken to a height and released and is therefore dependent upon some form of palavered craft. What inlay be called sport gliding is, another matter. A century ago men attached la glide;; to their body and ran with it,''maieinlg short hops when the speed became great enlough, and lauding, after a few yards of flight on their feet. Otto Lilienthal made the first roundi'rip in a glider, toward, the end' of the last eeiltury, That is a memorable milestone in the annals of aviation, Since sport gliding is not dependent tap'on any kind 'df engine `pdwer—excerpt in. a few isol'ate'd sttances when the glider is fitted With a small one -cylinder engine for Ob- taining a'ltituderit may be fairly ask- ed, 'How do gliders fly?

A trial' will convince any who ‘doubt ifs power. •, .Gliders are usually launched on the catapult system.,.TWO long rubber ropes are attached to a point on the fuselage .and there are four or`•m'ore met; who take each .rape and walk to the' front, one panty to the right and one to the left, roughly alt right angles to each other. The 'glider is kept in position by a tri , arrangement or simply by its weight, plus the weight of the pilot, while the ropes are pull- ed taut. When there is enough ten- sion, the shipis released and the glider is catapulted sharply forward and in- to the air, when the ropes fall off. ,Once in the air the pilot has.toman- oeuvre his craft in such a way as to take advantage of the rising air 'cur- rents. This can be done continuously only in hilly': country :s'pecia'lly select- ed. The pilot knows beforehand th:at when the wind Strikes a hill there is always a resultant force u'gward. The .take -off is, therefore, from the crest of a hill and immediately after being launched in the air, against the wind, the upward current of air lifts the glider. The pilot then turns, if he has been lifted high enough, and glides in a, circle to the starting point and on over the crest of the hill, when the air current again lifts. the glider. How tonrg he can continue this Process will depend largely on his skull and to a great extent on •the.velocity and Stead- iness of,the wind. Ilan long flights the pilot glides from, hill to hill and often is able to reach, considerable altitudes—and to cover some quite remarkable distances. To do this, however, he -will have to know the : country like a book, and, snowing it means that he can glide to hills that he knows will give Mm the greatest 'lift. Since the 'gliding angle o'f a glider is very flat, as compared to that of an airplane, he can keep aloft for a longer' time at any alti- ude than can' the pilot of a heavy airplane.Thus, ,with a good initial lift, he may guide - in a • series of straight flights or in a series of circles, or more often a combination of both, passing and repassing from hill to hill; each hill supplying enough ift to carry him ire flight until he can glide over, the next one. This process 's continued again and again, and in this way, Anton Schultz of Austria is said to have remained continuously aloft for more than fourteen •hours. 'Gdclang is much more difficult than it sounds and it requires a delicate touch on the controls and consider- able ability and good, judgment. It 's, too, full of thrills, and fre'quent'ly an ambitious pilot tingles with excite- ment as he narrowly misses a landing in an attempt to steer, his craft over a hill. S'o'metimes the ` margin be- tween sustained flight and an, enforced landing are merely the matter of an inch or so. There is always' a lot of fun,' and, if properly controlled, very little danger.

The Hospice on the Great 1St. 'Ber- nard. pais was establisher in 992 by St. 'Bernard of Menthon, and is main- tained today by Augustin monks.

'D. dor more than 1,1154 years, then, the -clogs have dwelt on the mountains. (Saint Bernard of Menthol, found them there when he established his Hospice on the great pass, and rtain- ed them in the saving of life. .Later, about the year 1,000, when he erected a similar Hospice on the Little St. Bernard pass, he took. there some of the dogs trained on the great pass. The'Hospice on the little pass is .tow fn charge of the military and religous order of Saints Maurice and Tlazarus: It is the great pass which figures in he countless stories that have been told through teal centuries of the his toric rescues by dogs of travellers lost in the snows. To the school children of an older generation no picture was more familiar ,or dear than that of one of the beautiful ani- ntals, a keg strapped to its chest, a keg of wine for the resuscitation o,f the traveller,' worn out and chilled dram wandering lost through the snows, whom it Was the dog's duty to lead to the shelter of the Hospice. A strange psychic understanding is said to : exist between the dogs and their masters. The dogs',- it ds said, will take their orders from none but the monks of the Hospice, The Brown Brothers and students may care for them, feed them, train' them ,when young, and even live with then.. But the dogs will undertake no rescue work, -the story goes, until they have been taken, one by one, before the monks. No word is spoken at this strange interview. Man and dog gaze'. into each other's' eyes a moment, and then the hr.ave beast sets out on its niiss•ion. A strong affection exists be- tween animals and men, and for gen- erations not a dog hasbeen sold from either of the Hospices, although offers of hundreds of pounds . have been made far•metnbers of the pack. The size of the packs may be artificially controlled, hut their masters will not consent to the removal of a single one of their friends from its accustomed habitat at the top of the Alps.
