Orville Wright, in a communication to the Smithsonian Institution, pre- dicts that the day is near when the yer will be almost entirely relieved of the work of maintaining the equili- brium:; of his machine, and his atten- tion will be required only to keep it on its proper course and to bring it afely into contact with the ground 'hen landing. 'Mr. Wright says that a flying ma- r ne a-1.ne is balanced in three directions about an imaginary axis fore and ft in its line of motion, referred to lateral equilibrium; about another s extending in a lateral direction in tip to tip of the wings, known fore-and-aft or longitudinal equili- um, and about a vertical axis which generallyreferred to as steering, hough its more important function that of lateral equilibrium," says ;tatement issued by the Smith-. liana Getting Equilibrium. `Although a beginner finds most 'iculty in mastering the • lateral itrol, it is his lack of knowledge d tain features of the fore-and-aft uilibrium which leads tomostof serious accidents. In an ideal fly- • machine the centre of gra, 'sty uld lie in the line of the centre. of istance to forward movement, and o in the line of thrust, but in prat - s. this is not always feasible, since machine must be built to land 'ely. as .well as•to fly. •In=fiying ;•a r centre of gravity that is, one ow the centre of support -causes oscillating movement about the eral axis like that of a pendulum, ich tends to form a disturbing •ning movement. On the other ad, a high centre of gravity tends cause the machine to roll over in .ding, and consequently a compro- se is adopted. `The two principal methods use' preserving fore-and-aft equili- um have been the shifting of ght so as to keep the centre of 'ty in line with the changing cen- of lift, and the uti)izatiail of alx- y <.eurfaeeeeeknown as elevators eep the centre of pressure in line a fixed centre of gravity. Auxiliary Surfaces. he first method has been found racticable on account of the im ibility of shifting large weights .kly enough, but the second is M most of the modern machines. lying machines of the latter should have -their auxiliary sur - s located in the front or rear, and ar as possible from the main ring planes, because the greater distance the greater is the lever- ,. and consequently the smaller the Dunt ofsurface requited. No part either the main surface or auxil- y surface should be exposed on sir upper sides in a way to create downward pressure for maintain - equilibrium, since such a pres- requires twice the propeller t to overcome it that an equal ried weight would require. 'The downward pressure of air is d to some extent, however, on ac- nt of its adaptability, in producing. ee..or less inherent' stable aero - es." device described by Mr. Wright prises a small, horizontal wind - so mounted on the machine as to edgewise to the wind when the ins is flying at the desired angle cidence. other method for maintaining and -aft equilibrium utilizes the of gravity acting on a pendulum ube of mercury, and still another loys the gyroscopic force of a diy revolving wheel. •1' Fighting the Submarine. e warship of the present day, the London Engineer, is a tom- ise between what we deem best what we deem essential. The etio-proof bottom has become es- ial; therefore we must . give up t or armor, or speed; or some - else, in order to get it On the hand, it is probable that battle- and battle cruisers will not fter be supplied with torpedoes.. e actions are now fought at en - es ranges, and since vessels can rtk by gunfire alone, torpedoes on gun ships are now 'useless. Omit- the torpedo tube will save little ht, but it' will leave space for e ammunition. The Engineer suggests that high-speed rams bows of proper shape and re - e strength to sink an underwater, ill again come into use. WEAK, TIRED, DEPRESSED That Is the'Usual °audition of Per - Sons Afflicted With Anaemia Anaemia is the medical term for poor watery blood, It may arise from a variety of causes, such as lack of exercise, hard study, improperly :ven tilated rooms or workshops, .poor digestion, etc, The chief symptoms are extreme pallor of the face and gums, rapid breathing 'and palpita- tion of the heart after slight exertion, headaches, dizziness and a tendency to hysteria, swelling of the feet and limbs and a distaste for food. All these symptoms may not be present, but any of them indicate .anaemia which should be promptly treated with Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills ° make new, rich blood which stimulates and strengthens every or- gan and every' part of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have made thous- ands of anaemic people bright, active and strong. The following is one .of the many cures. Mrs. Philips, wife of Rev. W. E. Philips, Princeton, Ont., says: "Some years ago, while living with my parents in England I fell a victim of anaemia. The usual compli- cations set in and soon I became but a shadow pf my former self. My mother, who had been a former nurse of '.many years experience, tried . all that her knowledge suggested; tonics of various kinds were tried, and three doctors did their best for me, but without avail, and a continued' gradual decline and death was look- ed for. "Later my parents decided to join my brothers in Canada, and it was confidently expected that the ocean voyage, new climate and new condi- tions would cure me. For a time I did experience temporary benefit, but was soon as ill again as ever. I was literally bloodless, and . the extreme pallor and generally hopeless appear- ance of my condition called forth many experiences of sympathy from friends whom we made in , our new hone in Acton, Ont. Later a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although in a condition where life seemed to have little to hope for I decided to do so. After using three boxes I began to mend. Continuing I began to enjoy my food, slept almost normally, and began to have a fresh interest in life as I felt new blood once again running in -my veins. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought about a complete cure and I am to -day in robust health. My hus- band is rector of this parish and .I have recommended the use of the t kill to a geeat number of people with whom we• have come into contact in the course of my husband's ministry, for we both know; what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can do." These Pills may be had from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Graceful Hostess. There are ungracious persons, of whom. a certain Mrs. Gomer 1s one, who cannot do anything for them- selves or anyone else without magni- fying the difficulties of the task.m If Mrs. Goer baked a cake or pre- pared a special dish she always re- marked at the table, "Land sakes, it ought to be' good! It was a. turrible job! I nearly roasted myself over the stove baking it!" If she sat up with a sick neighbor she spent the evening telling about what a "turrible mess" she had left her house in, and how difficult it was for her to get away, and how hard site would have to work the next day to make up for it. One afternoon while Mrs. Curtis, her next-door neighbor, was away, her sister unexpectedly ar- rived from another city. Mrs. Gomer, seeing in the visitor and her grips on the Curtis front porch, and knowing the Curtis house was locked, invited her to come over to her house and wait for her•sister's return. That evening, when both families were on their front porches, Mrs. Cur- tis called across: "Oh, Mrs. Gomer, I must thank you for taking my sister in! She says you .entertained her all the afternoon." "Yes," replied Mrs. Gomer, "and it was a turrible job, too." Fickle Youth. Alys-George came to our house every evening for three months. Mai—Well?

Probably no dish that ever appear- ed on our tables has caused so much burning as the pie—and I do not mean by that to suggest the connec- tion between heartburn and indiges' tion. : The pie with the hunting case crust has eclipsed many a honey- moon. The unsuccessful pie has •been the uncharted rock on the sea of' matrimony, the slough of respond on the straight and narrow path. But the good .pie, the perfect pie has been from time immemorial the peace- maker, the healer of lovers' quarrels. The great outstanding fact of mar- ried life is that man wants pie. As Scott did not exactly say: Lives there a man with soul so dead, Who never to his wife hath said: "I wish that you would learn to bake Pies like my mother used to make."' But I have known a man to ('o even worse than that. I have known a man to say to his wife: "Iewish you could make pies like your mother used to make." In that way he re- buked her and made friends with his mother-in-law, a feat of diplomacy never equalled in the chancelleries of Europe. But the question has been raised: "What kind of pie was it that mother used to make? What was her master- piece?" aster-piece?" There is no need of any dispute on this subject. Just wait till you find one of those old fashioned pie -making mothers and listen to what she is singing to the grandchildren on her knee.

Most of us are familiar by now with the marvellous streams of light 'which shoot up into the sky every night, switching from side to side in their search for Zeppelins. These search- lights are among the most wonderful of the devices used in warfare. The candle-power of the lamp is, ill some cases, about 25,000. Their pre- cise range has not been determined, but ori a clear night they can pick you out If you are very many miles away. There, is a searchlight at the Eiger- -wand station, on the Jungfrau Rail- way, the beam of which is visible at a distance of 60 miles, and it is strong enough to enable a newspaper to be read 20 miles off. At night, grey or khaki is more easily seen by searchlight than the French red. Wben landing troops by night at the Dardanelieour own soldiers were more conspicuous than were the French. Nevertheless, the landings would have been infinitely harder had not the great shafts of light picked out the dangers and obstacles on shore. Men are brave, and all that, but when one of them is sick he grunts twice as much as a sick woman. 1 bought a horse with a supposedly incurable ringbone for $30.00.

Willard's Liniment Cures Colds, Etc. Don't Suffer Themselves. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, apropos of the "reprisals which make the world -war more horrible, said at a luncheon: "Has it occurred to you that the Germans who ordered these cruel re- prisals are old, fat, soft fellows, seated on leather cushions in luxurious offices? They don't suffer themselves so much as a pin prick. They rather remind me of the mother who brought her little boy to school and said, 'This little boy of mine, teacher, is very deli- cate. So we mustn't whip him. If he does anything bad—and I know he will —just whip the boy next to him. That will give him a good scare and bring him round, maybe." Minerd'p Liniment Cures Distemper. "Can she make a cherry pie? Billy Boy, Billy Boy! Can she make a cherry pie, Charming Billy?

When the biggest cherry trees that are now laden with ruddy fruit were mere seedlings, that song was as popular as Tipperary is to -day, and there are still merry grandmothers who sing it to their marriageable grandsons when they go a -wooing. In the good old days before there were pie factories where pies are made by machines and should be eaten by lnaehines the making of a cherry .pie Was the ultimate test of a housekeep- er. No • girl was accounted worthy of a home who could not make a peik. feet cherry pie. And this is the season of the cherry pie! Let me whisper something. Every girl should show that she is able to make cherry pies. Every love-lorn boy should see that the girl he loves is able to make them.

Being, how- ever, a cautious housekeeper, she de- cided to look over the fruit herself, as the grocer was not always to be trust- ed. "They don't appear very good," she said, somewhat later, examining care- fully a basketful. "They look," -1 she extracted one and tasted it l -"they look a little green. I don't know. Just let me try one." She took another. "I guess I'll take one box, please. You don't put very many in a box, do you?" she inquired, "There was," said the grocer, re- spectfully, "but there's been so many ladies looking 'em over that there ain't—" "You may give me two boxes," said Mrs. Beacon. 4 IFIt'6RMS FPO RENT. .--« TP LOOKING POlt A FARM, Qoysw r use, i have ever Two Rundred on my list, located in elle beat emotions of Onar tarso All eizes, ii.
