Waterman had been able to throw the.
stone, or how near it might be.to the
German trench. But his eyes were
young and keen; every faculty was
more than ordinarily tease and active,
and Tom was in deadly earnest, He
had •started to do this thing, and he
would do it.
Presently he saw a white spot on
the ground, and he felt as though.
hammers were beating against his
temples. Crouching low, he made his
way towards it, but he had only gene
a few steps when he discerned the
form of a man, apparently. with the
same object in view, creeping from a
German trench. Like lightning Tom
made a dash for it, but the other was
nearer than he, and by the time he
had reached it the German had
secured it. As far as he could judge
they were about half -way between the
two lines, and he knew the danger of
the task he had set himself. In a
vague way he wondered whether the
Germans had seen him, he also won-
dered whether the British were watch-
ing hien. But this did not trouble
him much; the one thought which fill-
ed his mind was that he must at all

Or, if you urefer, send information to impart. It came upon
him too, like a flash of lightning,
that Waterman had uttered a peculiar
cry as he threw the missile across the
intervening space. That was doubt-
less a prearranged signal between him
and the Germans, If they bad heard
it, as was more than probable, one of
their men would naturally be sent to
find the paper. In that case the
plans and arrangements which the
English officers had made would be hi
the hands of the Germans.
Tom had noted the :spot on which
Waterman had stood when he threw
his missile, and had also noticed the
direction in which it had flown, at,
least he thought he had. But when
he was in the open space he was not
so sure. As fortune would have it,
this particular bit of ground was not
wired, and he moved without difficul-
ty.
Tom looked around, bewildered;
nowhere could he see the gleaming
white paper which Waterman had
thrown—in fact, nothing was plainly
visible to him. He saw, dimly, the
outline of the German trenches; saw
the mound of earth with the sand-
bags on their summits, but nothing
else. A hundred yards or so is no
great distance, but it is difficult to
locate a small object in such a space at
night. 12e could not tell how far

Survey Shows Need For Looking After
Burnt -Over .Areas.
Few people realize the enormous
damage which has been caused by for-
est fires in years past. This damage
has taken place in every province of
the Dominion. An illuminating ex-
ample is afforded by the investigation
of forest resources of British Colum-
bia, upon which the Commission of
Conservation has been engaged during
the past four years. This investiga-
tion shows that on 95,000 square
miles the timber has been uselessly
destroyed by fire, mostly many years
ago. The amount of timber so de-
stroyed is estimated to be not less
than 00,000 million feet, or about
twenty-two times as much as the to-
tal that has ever been cut by the lum-
bermen in that province. Putting the
loss in another way, this timber Is
equivalent to almost twice the amount
of saw timber now standing in the
province, and to nearly as much saw
timber as is now standing in the for-
ests of all Canada.

To the mothers and fathers
wlto `desire to give their
children the advantages of
a musical education.
Beethoven says, "Where the piano is there is the hap-
piest home.'.' Very few of us fully realize, yet, the actual
value of a musical education to the child. Music Is the
food of the soul, and should be nourished during child-
hood. It will help them to grow up better, broader and
more sympathetic men and women,
Music will beautify the character of the child, and im-
part grace and refinement.
Every parent should send for this "Art and the Critic"
album, giving the autobiography of the musical great. It
is .Just as necessary to know the life of Great Artists as
the history of politicians.
This book will interest every child, and teach them to
know the great musicians of today, Models of the famous
Williams New Scale Plano are also shown, -with Gold
Autograph of Artiste which is placed on those "Artists'

LESSONS IN THE
ART OF FLYING
BRITISH HAVE GI1,,EN LIVES IN
THE CAUSE.
Many? Things About hirr'raft Which
We Have Learnt in a Hard
School.
When Uncle Sam's flying men come
to take their part on the Western
Front they will find their job a
"cinch" in comparison with the British
task in 1914. pur„brave fellows were
among the pioneers in aerial warfare,
and they...gave their lives freely ain
learning how it should be dune...
Our flying men had,' at the begin-
ning, to conform to rules and regula-
tions. Army discipline handicapped
then right and left, consequently they
worked at a disa"iv r t:tge all the
time. The military man pure and sim-
ple has zio imagination and it requires
imagination tot, use flying machines at
the front. •
Early in the war it was said: "Lis-
ten to the flying men and let them tell
us what we need.” And as soon as
we listened to the flying men we pro.
gressed in the air by teal::; n rid bounds.
Obsolete Monoplanes,
It was the flying men themselves
who discovered that the monoplane
was of no value for oboer ration pur-
poses. No monoplanes aro used in
warfare to -day. It was the flying men
who learnt how to dodge shrapnel
fire. The obvious thing seemed to be
to climb out of range. But more often
than not the obvious thing in flying
is the wrong thing. Pilots to -day
drop like a plummet to avoid shrapnel..
It is possible to drop at a much great-
er speed than it is to climb—and the -
greater the speed of the machine the
more difficult it is to hit,
It is not so very long ago that
everyone gasped at the daring of Pe-
goud, the first man to loop the loop.
And yet to -day every lad,, -and the
majority are lads—who hold's a pilot's
certificate in the Flying Corps loops
the loop without turning a hair. In
fact, looping is one of the favorite
dodges in .air fighting. To be behind
an enemy 'plane is the most favorable
position, and if, when chased by a hos-
tile machine, a pilot can loop the loop
and come up behind the enemy, he
immediately becomes the chaser, and
has his opponent at- a disadvantage.
Eyes of Army and Navy.
It used to be thought that to ' get
above and in front' of an enemy flyer
vaft thy' most advantageous position
in air fighting. Now our men realize
that below and behind is the best posi-
tion. It. is easier to turn a machine-
gun on to an enemy machine when he
is above or in front.
Kitchener once said that one aero-
plane was worth a thousand men, and
it is certain that a thousand men have
the value of ten thousand now that it
is possible to slip over to the enemy's
lines and see what is afoot there.
It is the same in the Navy. A bat-
tleship is comparatively helpless with-
out its accompanying 'planes, for dur-
ing a modern sea -fight the contesting
fleets are seldom, if ever, visible to
one another, and depend entirely on
the observers and their wireless for
instructions.
Nowadays the authorities realize
the tremendous importance of the fly-
ing man, and they treat him accord.
ingly. At the best of times his life is
short—the span of life of a pilot at
the front can be named in lours—and
the authorities endeavor to make it a
merry one as fax as it is possible. He
i.s paid well and fed well, and has the
best billet that can be secured., We
have learnt that our pilots are worth
looking after.
'The "Intensive System."
His machine is worth looking after,
also, and quite a small army of men
do nothing all day long but tinker with
the machines. Every pilot has three
machines in readiness for him, so that
if one is damaged the work of observ-
ing can go on uninterruptedly.
John Bright once said that war is a
great teacher of geography. If he
had said merely that war was a great
teacher he would have spoken just as
truly. More has been learnt about
the air and the possibilities of its
navigation in those few years of war
than could have been learnt in a hun-
dred years in the jogtrot times of
peace.
Amused The King.
The King and Queen had an en-
thusiastic reception when they visited
the Western General Hospital at
Liverpool recently. One man, wh
had been first wounded at Mons, tole}
the King that he had been visite
after that battle by Lord Kitchener,
who had said: "Well, well, bullet
wounds don't matter much nowadaysi'y
"But they ain't good for your 'earth,
your Majesty," said the veteran,
while the King and those around him
laughed,
