FLIGHT ACROSS ATLANTIC.
--
Norwegin Aviator the Latest to Dis-
cuss the Project.
The Loden Daily Chronicle pub-
lishes the following:
A young Norwegian aviator, Mr.
GeOrge Kulbech, is at present engag-
ed in preparations for a taring at-
tempt to cross the Atlantic by aero-
plane, or rather by means of what he
calls a "flying boat" of his own de-
signed, He proposes to start from
Jaederen, on the west coast of Nor-
way, but to pay what may be called
literally a "flying visit" to England
on the way.
"My flying boat" he says, "is
built exclusively to solve the prob-
lem of the Atlantic, and is, therefore,
constructed as a seaworthy boat, its
hull being entirely of mahogany. It
has two seats, placed side by side, so
that the aviators can steer by turns -
without changing places. Another
peculiarity is the mechanism for start-
ing the flying boat's motor, which
can be effected by the aviator with-
out leaving his seat.
"The machine is a biplane and has
a plane surface of fifty square met-
res. It can lift a total weight of
about 6,000 pounds. The motor is of
250 horsepower; it is watercooled and
has a velocity of 1,8000 revolutions a
minute. With its full cargo the fly-
ing boat can attain a speed 'of 112
miles an hour, so that we should be
able to strike the American coast in a
little more than twenty-four hours."
MOUSE AS ENGINEER.
Dug Spiral Groove Round Inner Sur-
face of Deep Hole.
A field mouse which had fallen into
a hole dug 'to receive a telegraph pole
displayed great ingenuity and per-
severance in effecting its escape, says
a writer in the Chief Steward. The
first hour or so he ran round the bot-
tom of the hole trying to find some
means of escape, but could not climb
out. Then he settled down to bus-
iness. He began steadily and syStem-
atically to dig a spiral groove, round
and round the inner surface of the
hole, with a uniformly ascending
gralde. He worked night and day,
and as be got further from the bottom
he dug. litle pockets where he could
either lie or sit and rest. The tele-
graph workers who had noticed his
plight, and were curious to know how
he would escape, supplied the little
engineer with food. At the end of
two weeks the mouse struck a rock.
This puzzled him. For nearly a day
he tried to get under' around, or
over the obstruction, butwithout suc-
cess'. With unflinching patience he
reversed the spiral, and went on tan-
nelling his way in the opposite direc-
tion. At the enSI of four weeks he
reached the top, and probably sped
away to enjoy his well-earned free-
dom. IIis escape was not observed.

ROMANCE OF
JAS. J. HITS LIFE
RE WAS ONCE A DOCK LABORER
IN ST. PAUL.
A Glimpse of Some of the Character-
istics of the Great Railway
Magnate.
One of the bitimate friends of the
late J. J. Hill, the greatest of Ameri-
can railroaders and the man who
opened up the North-Western States
of the American Union to settlement
a generation ago, is Mr. Elias Rogers,
of Toronto, says the Toronto Star.
Mr. Rogers knew J. J. Hill in the
early days, having met him first in
St. Paul in 1882. Hill formed a
was produced on the farms of their
neighbors. In this way he improved
the agricultural standing of the terri-
tory through which his lines ran. His
methods were always practical rather
than mere academical or theoretical.
He used to sell improved seed at a
nominal figure. He also introduced
the best stock. When he became im-
pressed with a farmer as a progres-
sive, common-sense man, he would
often present such a man with a fine
breeder, and thus improve the stock
of his district.
Kind to Animals.
"Hill was very kind to animals, and
it was because he saw the stranger's
horse was tired, that time at Rock-
wood, that he carried a pail of water
to it. The stranger, in appreciation,
gave him a copy of an American
newspaper, where he read that men
were wanted in Minnesota, and where-
from he derived his determination to
go West.
"Hill wanted to fight for the North

man in the United States or in the He told me himself a couple of years
world," said Mr. Rogers. ' "There was ago that one eye was blind or I would
never have known it. He did not wear
glasses except in later years to read
by.
"He owned most of the First Na-
tional Bank at St. Paul, and the con-
trolling interest in the Northern Pa-
cific and the Great Northern.. The
three institutions occupy one building,
newly completed, which takes up a
whole block and constitute the finest
building in St. Paul. The bank is in
the centre, with a glass roof, one or
two stories high. This allows the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa-
cific office buildings to tower up each
side, and have plenty of- light all
around them.
Helped Strathcona.
"J. J. Hill helped to make Strath-
conn.'s fortune. I remember balking
to Hill during the South African war
and remarking on the big expense the
Strathcona Horse must be to Sir
Donald."
"'He can easily stand it,' said Hill,
'I've made more than that for him in
one deal that he knew nothing about.'
"Hill and Strathcona met the first
time on the Red River trail between
St. Paul and Winniteg. Each was
traveling with a dog sleigh.
"At the time of the first Riel rebel.
lion at Fort Garry, when the people
were housed up in the fort, it looked
as if they would be starved out.
Strathcona sent word to Hill asking
if he would get word throtigh to Fort
Garry that there would be food there
not his equal. Van Horne was a
friend of his and there were 'many
points of similarity, but Hill made
Van Horne. He brought him to the
C. P. Ft. Strathcona and Stephens
wanted Hill to manage the C.P.R.,
and Hill took hold for a while, but
he picked Van Horne to take his
place on the C.P.R. and went back to
the Great Northern.
.
Was a Dock Laborer.
"J. J. Hill was a big looking man,
although he was not so tall as I. He
was square -shouldered with a leonine
head. He was blessed with a very
strong physique. He had worked as
a boy on the farm, and when he came
to St. Paul first he worked as a
stevedore on the docks. They say
the stump is still to be seen of the
last tree he chopped at Rockwood. A
man named Harris was working with
him that day. Harris since came to
work for me, and he told me the inci-
dent. Hill, who had conceived . the
idea of going West, laid his axe
against a tree.
"'That's the last tree I'm going to
chop,' said he.
"He started West on a ten dollar
bill next day.
"Hill was a particularly quiet
,spoken Man," continued Mr. Rogers.
"But his words always carried weight.
He was well read, one of the best read
men in America, r suppose. He was
well up on such subjects as the modern
science of agriculture, botany, flowers,
chemistry of soil, and so forth. He
was strong in geology. There were by the time spring opened up. Hill
could not trust anybody, so he went
himself, traveling by dog -sled a dis-
tance of over 400 miles, and taking an
Indian with him to cook and help with
the dogs. The Indian proved a traitor,
however, and when about half way
there, he refused to do as he was told,
Hill got suspicious. The Indian had
been told to cook breakfast, and not
obeying, words followed, when the In -

The Tagged Nest.
Maurice and Rita ran into the lib-
rary, where Uncle Arthur sat reading.
"Look!" they cried. "We've found
a bird's nest that the wind blew
down!"
"The birds, are all gone, aren't
they?" questioned Rita anxiously.
"Of course," answered Maurice.
"It's a last summer's nest."
After Uncle Arthur had looked at
the nest, he asked:
"Did I ever tell you about a bird's
nest that I have?"
"No," replied both voices.
"When I was a boy," he went on.

VARYING VIEWS
OF WESTERN FRONT
OPINIONS OF CIVILIANS AND
MILITARY MEN.
The German Armies Will be 'Caught
:see*
Like Rats in a
Trap.
According to -John Balderson a well
informed American newspaper corres-
penitent in London, there are four
opinions and only four among civilians
and military men concerning the situ -
tion on the western front. One of
these is to the effect that the Germans
cannot be driven out of their present
positions by general offensive, and '•
oddly enough this pessimistic view
has been strengthened by the fight-
ing at Verdun. There say the doubt-
ers, the Germans after months of
preparation have been unable to make
any material headway. How„ then,
can the Allies in their turn expect to
crumple up the Germans, drive them
out of their trenches and start on the
triumphal march to Berlin through
France and Flanders? Mr. Balder -
son explains that those who hold to
this belief are almost all civilians.,
"we used to hang out strings to help Among the military men he spoke to

you do now. One spring I thought I a grand attack against the Germans

How pleased I was when I saw an
oriole take my string and fly off with
the tag dangling behind her!"
"Did she put it into her nest?"
interrupted Maurice.
"She flew to a tall elm and that
was the last I saw of it then. Two
or three times during the summer I
climbed the tree, but, although I could
see the eggs and the young birds, I
saw nothing of the ttsg. In the fall,
when the branches were bare, another
boy and I tried to get the empty nest.
After working with ladders and poles,
we finally got it. When I held the
nest in my hand, the first thing I saw
was the little tag with my name still
plain upon it."
"Did you say you had it now?"
asked Maurice.
Uncle Arthur left the room, and
when he returned he held out a nest
"Here it is, name and all," he said.
to the children.
The two examined it eagerly, and
then, when Uncle Arthur took it
again, Maurice said:
"I'm going to try that myself, some
time, and see if I can't tag a nest,
too."
"So am I," quickly echoed Rita. -

succeed.
The Optimist's View.
This brings us to the second opin-
ion, namely, that the first great gen-
eral attack upon the German lines will
result in a clean break through and
on a wide front. Then the German
armies will be caught like rats in a
trap and will suffer the greatest mili-
tary disaster in the history of the
world. They will not retreat to Ber-
lin; they -will not be able to; they will
have to stay and fight against super-
ior forces or surrender. Those who
hold this view insist that the great
Allied offensive ought to be under-
taken at whatever cost, since it is
sure to succeed, and though the
casualties will be enormous, .it will
end the war. Opposing this view is
one to the effect that a great offensive
now might imperil everything, that
the Allies ought to continue their
present tactics, that time is on their
side, and that patience alone is ne-
cessary to bring about the downfall
of the German armies in the West.
A Question of Luck.
Finally there are those who con-
tend that luck plays an abnormal part
in modern warfare; and that it was
simply bad luck that robbed the Allies
of tremendous victories at Lobs and
in Champagne. They argue that the
only thing to do it to imitate the
tactics of the Germans to attack
again and again first at this point
and then at that, suffering defeats
occasionally and learning from them,
but never relaxing the effotts, They
