Lt covers about 6,000' square miles , the west of the Rhine and is one the richest portions of Europe. Its capital, Strassburg, has 1G0,000 iohabitants. Ita, mines produce more iron by half than those of Prussia, /t is rich in coal and Its cities are the seats of many manufacturing In- dustrie. Muelhausen is the seat of cotton Weaving. Alsace, rich and fertile, produces more wines than the rest of Germany, Wheat, rye and holey are large pro- ducts. Its history has been ,turbulent and it has shifted from empire to empire as new maps et Europe were drawn, in war. Many of its people removed to Franco to escape' the policy of Ger- many, which was to Teutonize' it by enforced use of the German language, For the most 'part the military party has enforced its policy of a rule by force and this has kept alive rather than crushed the love for France. The country is highly developed, is eovered with a network of railroads and in addition there is a system of canals which provided cheap trans- portation. AEROPLANES IN. WAR TIME Wonderful: Invintion Makes Them In- capable of Upsetting "Nothing short of the collapse of his machine need cause the aviator now any worry -'the stabilieer will take care of him automatically un. • der all conditions of the air: His function now, will, indeed, be properly and wellnigh only that of a pilot as commonly understood." The author of these words is Elmer A. Sperry, who was awarded a prize of $10,000 in France recently for his automatic aeroplane stabilize'r. Sperry's inven- tion is designed to prevent an aero- plane fromturning sideways or up- side down, or being overturned by a sudden gust of wind. An .aeroplane equipped with one of these devices may droVstra.ight to the ground, but it will nester upset. Since most of the aeroplane disasters have been caused by the pilots losing control and being unable to keep their ma- chines right side up, it is apparent that the Sperry stabilizer is a most important step , toward the goal of making aeropianing as safe' as auto- mobiling. The aviator. has not the time for making the observations that are 1m' portantin military and scientific flights, and it was primarily for the purpose of enabling military airmen to make photographs and sketches and other observations without being always on ,the alert to maintain ihe equilibrium of the *aeroplane that the Sperry stabilizer was made. Mr. Sperry is not the inventor of the gyroscope, which plays such an Ian portant part in the invention,' but he has ingeniously adapted it to new uses. In his invention it is not the gyroscope that keeps the machine on an even keel. This is attained by a series of wires attached to the tips ot the wings ;and to the rudder. The Sperry griOsCopes are four in number, each. about the size Of a largo apple, and each electrically -operated. These little spinning wheels are, as it were, sentinels of the ale. During the 'scores of- flights "fn Prance, Lawrence. Sperry subjected his automatically stabilized biplane to rigorous legs.. While 6,00 feet up in the air he got out of his seat, leaving the steering vvheci; and stood up. After taking this position his mechanic crawled out on the winos laterally to a distan.ce of nearly seven feet, thus creating an upsetting force which would ha.vo meant sure death under ordinary circumstances. Never. theleSe the hydroeteroplano went smoothly on, controlling • itself the while, the Stabilizer shifting the ailerons at the wing tips so as to create compensating pressure at the end of the planes furthest ‘from the venteresome mechanic. N'ot con- tent with this, proof of lateral stab:1- Ity, Sperry shifted his own weight by getting out of lila control seat and standing as before, thereby leaving the manceuvrittg -of the Machine to its own impulse, Next, the mechanic trot back toward the tail,' but la spite of that ehift of weight The hydro, aeroplane kept its polite Undiaturbed, the itingittidinal atabilleing gyroa Islanipulating the tail Planes or Me, %raters to the necessary degree, THE W I NGHAM PA O1 00000009000.0000• 00000000.0 • AG e .!ius • • • • • But a Genius In Hia Own Way • • • • • tly EyERETT ft CLARKE : • • eesee••••••••••••••••••••• Ned Meacham was bora to a singular eareer, As a child he was called Donn bey, front Paul Doinbey, the little boy la one of Charles Dlekens' novels. It was not that be was especially spirit - like note naui, but was queer. Ile never took the same view of things as other children, never did Mugs in the same way as other children. At An early age be displayed a fancy for impressing ills playmates with tricks of sleight of band. At fifteen he burned hiss hand so severely with phos- phorus, which he.used for a ghostly performance, as to leave an ugly sear. 13e would go to the abows of tires*. digitaters and repeat their tricks. I3y the time be was eighteen he was quite proficient In the ort. His next tapes' was the stage, not as, an, actor, but inventing devices in the matter of stage properties. Hov- erer, be became a personator of minor parts, and so odd was he in his methods that be soou attractedattention. His inventive powers coming. into play, he Soon became a feature, mingling sin- gular' impersonations with ingenious mechanical surprises. By one of his contrivances he blew himself into frog - milts before the audience, shortly afterward appearing to have lighted in a united live body in the branch of a tree. One wonld suppose that Ned Mete chant would have turned his faculties to account But a genius is liable to tire of what he has accomplished, al- ways desirous of striking out into uew paths; As soon as Ned hod put him- self lu a position where he might have commanded of the manager ahnost anything he desired be left the theater for good and all. Miss Helen Beach AM playing a part wherein she wile to stab the leading gentleman of the company. Her part was n trying one and brought ou temporary insanity. One evening just before the opening of the performance Ned was in the prop- erty room tinkering with a dagger be had inventedwherein the blade, on striking an object, went hack into the Jtandle. Ned had made an addition by which blood appeared to spurt out like water from a spout, Dearing a com- motion, he went outside and saw Miss Beach, who had become demented, re- citing some lines of her part to the manager, whom she was ;Omit to kill with a pistol. •Ned ran up to her. handed her his patent dagger and took away the pistol, crying, "Don't shoot him -stab him!" She adopted the sug: gestion, stabbing the manager with the spring dagger. Blood spurted over her and her victim, the latter falling in a stage death. This saving of the manager's life laid the latter under n great obligation to Ned Meacham, and he would have done anything in his power for the young man. But what could tie do for one who had been born unlike- other persons? Ned thanked Wm and said that be was engaged on contriviug an artificial leg thnt would step out of its own accord. But just as the young contriver was about to perfect his invention the Box- er movement in Chinn broke out, and Ned, desirous to go where.no one else would have wished to go, got aboard a ship and sailed for the Flowery King- dom. When he reached It the allied forces were advancing upon Peking to liberate the pentup embassies. One day Ned went to the commander in chief -a German general -and vol- unteered to bring hint such informa- tion of the city as he might require, but when Ned told him that he was a fourth rate actor from an American theater the general spurned him, tell- ing him that when be wanted informa- tion of an enemy ho would send n sot- 1 Bier to get it. Ned, by no means discouraged, went to the commander of the United States forces and repeated his otter. The of- ficereold him there was no reason why I he should not go out, get the informa- tion and briog it in. The main fea- tures to be observed were such weak points as might ennble the allies to t gain entrance into the city. Ned spent some time fixing up a few contrivances in the property line With s \V hie 11 he bad long been familiar, 1 11- t eleed, It was several days before he was ready to go on his mission.

The Yankee had, by this means got within the Chinese outposts, but be- ing at some distance from the city it was essential for him to proceed, which he did mailer cover of, the darkness, Leaving the road, he walked in the fields for a time, directing his course to the dark walls of the city that loom- ed in the distance against the sky line. At times he Would come upon a camp- fire with Chits/Men 'mingling around it or Wine their suppers. These be would go around, leaving the chattering Chi- namen lu his rear. Suddenly be stumbled upon one of these groups where there was no tire And the men were asleep. Be trod ou n slumbering Chinaman, The fellow growled and sat up, Another who bad been awakened lighted a bit of Winne ntable wood and held it in Meaeliam's face. The latter bad a battery over bis stomach fuel was well strung with wires. Closing nn electric key, his eyes (or glasses be pulled down over them; shone with a brilliant greee. The yell the man with the torch gave awakened the rest, and one and all took to flight Thus did Meacham work his way dur- ing the ulglit toward the city. At mid- night he was directly under the walls and as luck would have it near one pc the principal gates. A drowsy sentry standing by the portals roused himself, and there before him stood Satan all Aglow, leering at him. The apparition's eyes were red, but turned green, then a bright yellow. The sentry dropped on his knees and hid his face on the ground. Meacham, without waiting for him to finish his salaam, pushed through the gate and entered the city. Meacham, after VA l'iOUS adventures. found himself among the besiegers of the embassies. Being a nondescript, ' when not plainly seen be was not no- ticed. When seen he had only to draw a fiery circle about him with his cane or put himself aglow or cause his hair to stand straigbt upon his head to send all who SAW 11191 as far away from him as they could get. In trying to get into the embassy lines he came very near beteg shot. Crawling near to a battery. he stood up. A ball sang by his ear and be dropped Ile was among the besiegers, but they dld not understand English, and he cried out to the embassy force, "A friend!" This changed matters, and, showing. himself to the Chinatnen about him as an illuminated devil, he scattered them, then ran into the embassy lines of their enemies. Meacham asked to be conducted to the American minister and told his story, He was directed, if he could make a return, to inform the allies that the besieged Europeans had held out as long as they were able and if help did not come at once they would be overpowered and murdered. Meacham, desiring to leave the city before day- light'departed Immediately. An Aeoets lean soldier, who bad done sorne scout- ing duty, led him to a point the be- siegers had left uncovered and showed him the way to the gate by which be had entered. The Yankee passed the sentries by the same means be had used in entering, and found himself when dawn was breaking on the plain surrounding the City. He now had some miles to go by daylight which rendered some of his devices useless and he was obliged to rely on others. Ile could no longer frighten the Boxers by illuminating himself, and this rendered his 1'011111 far more perlionsThan his going. True, he 'vas still Satan, hut without Satan's terrifying methods. His route lay along the toad by which he had come Ind it would now be useless to leave t, for•he could be seen. Ile went on till he came to an outpost. They caught sight of hint coming behind hem 8)1(1 observed him wonderingly. Ile kept on and as he drew near some of the Chinamen fled, while others tood their ground. One more valiant 1)11)1 the rest called out something, which Meacham took to mean an order o halt. But the Yankee kept right on. The Cbinamen raised a gun, and Men - ham, uttering a loud "Ha, ha!" whlrl- d his cane about his head, enveloping. zimpelf with smoke, which came from ne end of it. Since the Chinaman ould not sec him he did not hit him. The deed of smoke drove off all but heir brave leader and three other Chi - amen. The leader stood firm; tize,oth- rs fell on their faces. Meacham still dvanced The man who opposed him ould not shoot at him Again without °loading. Drawing a knife, he re- elved Meacham when he came up by hrusting it against his breast.

The typically Scottish funeral al. the old days has been banished for good, says a writer la The Weekly Scotsman. Only in very exceptional cases does one read -f "scenes"eat an interment. Tho fashion of send- ing round the whisky and bannoeks and cheese has not been altogether abandoned in lonely country dis- tricts, where hearses are still un- known, but it is seldom that the bounds of decency are overstepped It was not alwayii so. There are many cases on record of funerals lasting two and even three days, partly as the result of snowstorms and partly due to the too rapid and continuous passing of the whisky. One can see in all the cities and towns of Scotland long strings of mourning coaches itt the wake of a hearse. And in these days, nothing is easier than to become a "guest" at a funeral, more especially at a funeral of some leading citizen. All that is required to be done is to study the obituary advertisements of the daily or even weekly papers, to find announcements inviting friends of the daily or even weekly papers, to find announcements inviting friends of the deceased who intend being pres- ent to intimate to a certain coach - hirer their intention, so :net carriages to the requisite number may be in waiting. A post -card or telephone call Is all that is necessary, and any name _cut, and often is for that matter, giv- en, for the posting establishment takes only count cif the number of mourners who are expected to be present, and does not trouble about anything else. Besides it is always possible for a man with a black i' oat and dress hat to find room in the mourning coaches, for everyone who promises to come do not ,put in an appearance. While standing at St. George's Parish Church, Glasgow, where many of the large funerals start from, I was surprised the other day when an official of a hiring establishment, pointing to a gentleman just getting into a mourning coach, whispered, "Do you see thee old chap? He has a perfect craze for them, and never misses an opportunity when there is an open invitation in the newspapers. And he is one of the cheeriest old fellows I have ever met, He told me one time when I remarked to him that he must have assisted in the laying down of hundreds of the citi- zens of Glasgow, that it cost him no- thing, and was always a nice change. Imagine speaking of a fun- eral as a 'nice change.' "Six summers ago I was engaged at a big posting establishment in the Perthshire Highlands. At the fun- eral of a local notability, to which there was an open Invitation in the advertising columns of the news- papers, there was an extraordinary turnout. It took us .all our time to get the necessary number of coaches, for the ehurchyard was a good distance away, and the mourn- ers could not have walked the dis- tance. There were refreshments serv- ed, and I noticed that the country people were quite as unconcerned as if they had been going to a fat stock show." FEEDING THE CALF. Little and Often Is a Safe Ftule to Fol. low In This Matter, Great care should be taken not to feed roughage to the new born calf, and ae it grows see that it eats only the choicest and finest of forage and . that the quantity taken Is small. Indi- gestion also comes commonly from feeding more milk at one time than can be properly cared for in the fourth stomach or feeding milk that is sour- ed, fermented, decomposing or from dirty, contaminated vessels. It Is im- portant to copy nature as far as pos- sible. A young coif takes n little milk of- ten, but man seems to think that two big "messes" of milk a day will be all right. Then the calf scours and dies or bas fits And dies, and the feeder wonders what is wrotig. Give a little milk often at ',first and always from Clean, scalded and sun dried vessels....
