On some nights when a slight mist is in the air the searchlights are practically no good as the Wrist blurrs the light and only rarely can they pick a machine up on such a night. On these occasions the search light men have a bad time as the observer, as soon as he sees a searchlight open, starts shooting down the beam and many and many a time have we watched with joy our enemies, the searchlights, close up from the results of some accurate shooting. Those nights we have our inn- ings and we take full advint ige of them to the discomfort of the Hun, Much as the ni:;a, pi'ot dislikes "hate" it is far from his on:y anxiety. The en- gine worries him a great deal at times and even the non flyer can imagine the sensa- tions of a pilot who when say, thirty or forty miles over the Hun side of the lines, hears his engine start to "miss" and mis- behave. Even the best engine will behave badly at times and at night a forced landing, even on a moonlight night, is no joke and al- ways has a certain amount of risk but over Hunland anyone can imagine how popular a pilot and observer would be if they had a forced landing after bombing some town full of Hun troops. The compensations of our work lie in our occasional chance we have to "get" something good. Ammunition dumps and trains are the two favorites although railway stations and transport columns run a good second, It is a wonderful feel- ing to see the explosions of one of, Yonr bombs followed by a huge explosion which seems to light g t t i 1 e whole world up and then burns steadily away with ex- plosions at intervals afterward. - The ' show" is never over till one has safely landed on the aerodrome, and part of the show is to hear the voices of your engine fitter and rigger ask how "their" machine has behaved on this show and to watch that there is nothing to complain of, After reporting the results of your trip, the observer and pilot adjourn to the mess and enjoy a nice supper and some warm cocoa, etc., and compare notes with each other and other pilots and observers, One learns a lot from these discussions and a friendly warning from someone who had had a warm time himself, that there isa lot of hate at such -and -such a place, has saved many of us from being caught in the same place. I've told of some of the trials of a night pilot and his observer, but it has some advantages over our brothers of day- light, especially in the summer time when the nights are short and the days are long. True, we don't have any free nights, but our days are our own. The only work we have in the daytime is to see that our machine is serviceable for the night time. Once that is seen to we can spend a day • in whatever way we, choose. Breakfast about 10.30 is about the most ragtime meal in the world, practically all the officers attend that meal most religiously in pyjamas, and some retire to bed after, but most spend the morning loafing around the camp awaiting and then read- ing their mail and reading the previous day's papers which arrive in the morning. The life isn't so bad and as most of our fellows say it is better than the trenches (and they know, for they've practically all had their turn) and as we often pass over the lines at night and see below `us the shells bursting and think of the lads there who are holding back the Hun—it's something to know that our efforts do help them a little. No its not a bad life. ►Ti !irk+i►l� iii trl�iiiv •To +�iii►li i+�►Lei►i�ihi.. ►i1►iO►A 1. .1e• q. q� q� «, q� t p .�', 4' . « «.i. q� qt q� .�. q� '31i itis SEVEN.S IN BIG•.

The last four students enrolled from Wingham were: • (a) a School Teacher, (b)a University Graduate (e) a lady who spent three months in a New York School (d) a lady with several months in a Detroit • Commercial School.

Tam Any.twe1c has heard of several in- stances and recently had an .opportunity of examining some oat fields and sure enough upon several of the leaves was the mark B. On nearly all the leaves examined appeared the mark some three or four inches from the end, but riot on all could the letter be so plainly dis- cerned. The mark also appeared on bar- ley leaves.
