ALL LONDON IS FLYING.
"have You Flown." Is Query
Which Agitates Society.
"Have you flown ?" is the little
quory which inti exciting even more
interest in London society to -day
than the tango or the war between
the hotels and the supper clubs.
The extent to whitnh aviation has
"caught on" in society is illustrated
by the report that a youthful lord
has resigned his commission in the
Royal Horse Guards to study the
art of flying in France. His sister
is also working hard for her pilot's

At the Hendon Aerodrome, Mr.
Gra•hanie-White recalled that Lord

of the 24 persons at dinner declared
that nothing in the world would in-
duce them to take a flight. The
next day I took each member of
that party for a trip and they all
confessed that it was not half as
terrible as it looked."

' "Th'' wcl;-known persons who

�liame-White, -Here are just a
few :--The Duke of Sutherland,
:Prince Christopher of Greece, Lord
Curzon of Kedleston, who was one
'of my first passengers; Lord Drog-

The remains were found with mam-

Now Canadian Cities Grow.
Rapidly as the city of RdtnOntOn. with
all its public utilities, hes progressed
since its incorporation in 1901. perhaps
no other department shotes greater ad-
vaneement than the street railway. Dur-
ing 1909 254,530 miles were run, carry-
ing 1,812,490 passengers, while the to-
tal In 1912 shows 1.203,260 car miles,'
•arrying 10,307,400 passengers. Such
has been the growth of the city that
the department found it necessary to
procure many new cars during 1912.

Electricity Prom the Empyrean.
Very little more is known of atmos-
pheric electricity than Franklin dis-
covered in 1752, when he proved that
the electricity or the air and the ele0-
teic(ty of the laboratory, are one and
the same. Various devices have been
made for measuring the current In the
hope that it would assist in forecasting
the weather, but the magnetic envelope
that apparently surrounds the globe and
wraps it with a network of currents is
still a baffling mystery. The report:
therefore, from Madrid that a Spanish
physicl'an has succeeded in reaching out
into the air with special apparatus and
bringing back electricity enough to light
fifteen lamps and keep them lighted
during a prolonged test, is of the high-
est importance, if true.
There is an exhaustless reservoir of
nitrogen In the air from wh10h fertilizer
for the fluids has already been success-
fully drawn. Now, if the air can also
produce electricity for light and power,
the civilized nations will no longer fear
a coal famine or the exhaustion of the
oil fields. But it is possible that the
Spaniard has done nothing move than
tap the current sent abroad from some
great wireless telegraph station. instead
of drawing on the natural supply.

True Thrift.
There are two ways of saving money.
One is to hold tight to every dollar that
5. man can get into his hands, The other
is to spend some of them to make more
dollars. The business man does the lat-
ter by adding to equipment, enlarging
his means or production, advertising hie

tThe nmiechanic ddoesai dby 000-
nli'Ing hirnself with the best tools. The
man on a salary does It by spending
money for booke to equip himself men-
tally or for the means to improve his
physical condition.
A recent traveller in Europe reports
that he saw big financial institutions
there employing clerks to do sums which
a few adding machines would do 100r0
rapidly and better. He also saw peasants
picking up small pieces oe wood for
their itres. That sort of thrift would
not equal the value of the time of an
industrious farmer 1n this country.

WOMEN ASSASSINS ARE FEW.
Russia Provides Most 01. Them
These Modern' Days.
In the history of polities there is
no parallel to the Thais tragedy
which hes resulted in the death of
M. Calmette, who was .shot by the
wife of M. Callleux, the Minister of
Finance, who sought to avenge her
husband's honor.
Women, happily, figure little in
political murders, although about
three years ago attempt was made
by a woman of Los Angeles, Cali-
fornie, to shoot a Cougressenan
whoop she ocrosiderned had insulted
her husband, who was ill, by mak-
ing dlspa.raging reunarks about him
in public, Fortunately the wound
inflicted proved but a slight one,
and the woman escaped with a shod:
term of imprisonment.
France, perhaps, leas not been so
stirred sines the Breton heroine,
Charlotte Corday, stabbed that
monster of the Revolution, Marat,
in his bath. But the modern his-
tory of Itu'esian Revolutionaries
provides sotu:e equally remarkable
stories of heroines of the people
who have taken upon themselves the
task of killiag those whom they com-
o a1ered'tlo enemies of progress and
libe rty.
The most recent case was that of
Zinaida Konopliannikova, a Russian
schoolmistress, who, on August 13,
1906, shot dead Major-General Min,
commander of the 1801110118 regiment
of the Semenoff Guards at Pater-
hoff railway station. Slo was ar-
rested on the spot, and wltianately
condemned to death by hanging,
this being the first death sentence
passed an a woman since the dem-
cation of Sophie Perovsloaya, who
was practically the chief organizer
of the Nihilist conspiracy which re-
sulted in Ozer Alexander II. being
blown into pieces on leis way to the
Military Riding School in St. Pet-
ersburg en March 1st, 1881.
The female assassin was only
twenty-seven years of age at the
time of her ex'ecu'tion, but even she
was six Sneans older than Marie
Spirid'onova, who, fired with the
wrongs of the Runsi.al pea'saoot, shot
the brutal Governor Lujenoveky.
Horrible tortures were inflicted
upon her in order to force her to
confess the names of her accom-
plices, and ultimately she was tried
by court-noartael behind closed
doors, and sent to Siberia a physi-
cal wreak.
It was also a female Nihtu1ist who
in 1890 assassinad;ed. C'apta'in Solo -
touchline, 'thief of the Moscone se-
cret police, and who afterwards
took her own life.

ter the 'smoking of a cigar the mus-
culo•' power of it man has fallen
twenty-five per cent. He is chiefly
'concerned, however, with mental
efficiency, a phase of'the investiga-
tion of the effects of tobacco which
the physician says has never before
been attempted.
It is considered by many persons
that tobacco makes for thinking.
Some men believe that brains aro
all out of kilter unless there is a
pipe stem between their lips. All
the subjects who submitted to the
tender mercies of the professor
were requested not to smoke for se-
veral hours before the beginning of
the 'tests.
The first was the "E" test, given
before and after smoking.
Twelve lines of capital letters,
closely placed, were presented end
the subjects were required to cross
out all the "E's" in orches. It is a
test for mental efficiency which has
been given by Professor Mnenstor-
berg and others.
If other tests of this kind are us-
ed "A" er some other letter is em-
ployed, so as to obviate any undue
advantage which might come from
the use of the "E.'
Another test requires that the
subject shall say all .the words which
flow into his mind after a word has
been spoken to him which suggests
a series of others. This is called
the chain association. For instance,
the investigator says to the class,
"Pipe," and they begin to write
down or speak all .the words con-
nected with it, such as "Pipe,
smoke, dope. fire, puff."
A series of 120 tests on each fif-
teen men, it is reported by Dr.
Rush, show that tobacco smoking
produces 10.5 decrease in efficiency
of the brain.
The greatest actual loss was that
of imagery, twenty-two per cent.,
so that the idea that ,smoke stimu-
lates the fancy and that smoking
up makes the mind alert is not sus-
tained by the experiments.
The three greatest losses were re-
ported as being 'sustained in the
fields of imagery. perception and
association. The greatest was found
to result from the .smoking of cig-
arettes.
