Pte. Frank Lanehetti, with the 75th
Batt. in England, then on his way to

4 last year after much hard fighting
and now lies in hospital in England
slowly recovering from wounds in the
back. His father has gone to see him.
Pte. Lanehetti was born in London,
England, and is now but 24 years of
age.
The other day Mrs. Lanehetti re-
ceived from No. 512400, B. Lunau, a
Toronto boy with the Canadian
troops in Bonn, Germany, the picture

UNIQUE EXPLOITS
OF AIR PLOTS
BARGING A M OTTNTAIN AND
ono* EXPERIENCES •
Such as a Flight 1Yith an Eagle and
'Living Oue's Machine Inter-
locked With a Hun Plane.
To barge into a mountain is not
altogether a common experience of
the air, but this is what happened to
Flight -Commander A. W. Waistell
when he was returnin • from a.bomb-,
fing raid.
The gallant airman had set out 'to
bomb Chanak, and he reached Iris
l jective in safety. Having droppod
his "eggs," and evaded the attention
of the antiaircraft gunners below, he
turned for home. The night had
grown intensely dark, however, so
that it was impossible to see very
far ahead. As cautiously as existing
circumstances would permit, Flight -
Commander Waistell continued the
flight. Then of a sudden a huge mass
darker even than the night itself
loomed up before him. To .avoid the
impact was impossible, and as the
machine crashed it caught fire, throw-
ing a lurid glow over the side of the
mountain into which the unfortunate
pilot had barged. Although badly in-
lured about the face and knees,. the
flight -commander managed to -get
clear of the burning wreckage, and
with wonderful endurance and ten-
acity made his way back to the aero-
drome from which he had set out, to
report the result of the raid. - •
Objected to Trespassers.
For his bravery he •vas awarded
the Distinguished Service Cross, and
it is doubtful if a war honor has ever
before been awarded as the outcome
of such a strange incident.
It was not very long before the war
that a French aviator, M. Gilbeart,
during the air race from Paris to
Madrid, was challenged by an eagle
to a desperate struggle for suprem-
acy near San Sebastian.
Gilbert did not lose his nerve. He
managed to get at his revolver, and
was thus enabled to frighten the
eagle away.
A unique incident, which ended in
the capture of a German air prisoner,
befell a French aviator in the c
of an aerial combat with the es,
The two atagonists manoeuvred this
way and that for battle advantage.
Suddenly the Frenchman, believing
himself to be in an excellent position,
dived on the tail of the black -crossed
machine. The German attempted to
avoid the onslaught, with the result
that the French machine spun vio-
lently, and the tail got stuck between
the wings of the Hun 'plane.
In quite a neat spiral the inter-
locked machines came crashing into
some trees. Neither pilot happened
to be hurt, and so ludicrous was the
situation that each burst into fits of
hearty laughter before the Beebe was
marched off' as a prisoner.
Trouble With the Clouds.
Clouds have been the cause of many
a thrilling experience to a pilot. On
one occasion the late Major "Jimmy"
McCudden, V.C., on returning from
a reconnaissance, ran into a huge
bank of cloud that had cone up sud-
denly and taken him unawares.
He commenced to make an effort to
climb above it, but it seemed without
limitations. There was nothing for
it but to plunge right into the cloud.
The rain beat in his face, and the
wind tossed and buffeted the machine
like some frail boat on a howling,
angry sea. To add to the confusion,
the compass -needle swung, round and
round, so that all idea of direction.
was lost.
When he believed he had continued
his flight sufficiently long, he put the
nose of the machine down, and des-
cended to an altitude of about 1,500
feet. Whistling, shrieking bullets

The Salivary Secretion,
The salliv:t has a double function: it
keeps the intericr of the mouth moist
and aide the digestion. Without its
moi41e,ling action, ---es we see some -
Vines in cl,i as when the secretion of
saliva is arrested, --the tongue, lips
and cheeks. would become' beardlike
and almost immovable; the taking of
foods, even liquids, would be virtually
impostable, and attempted speech
would be unintelligible.
Its digestive function is perhaps
toss indispensable, yet it is extremely
impuit fit., 'elle saliva moistens tho
food, urd in concert with mastication
a brings it into a semiliquid state fit for
swallor ing; this moistening process
also brings out the flavor in many
food F tb'stances, and the flavor, when
agreeable, :stimulates the nerve, and
primotcs the secretion of gastric juice
—which is ready in sufiie;ient quantity
to begin its digestive action as soon
as the food reaches the stomach.
The saliva also possesses a digestive
Peatebieal of its own; it changes the
sleigh of the food into sugax--the
first step to preparing it to be a as-
similated and converted into foam
within the body. That function is,
however, ,a les., vital one, since if the
,,saliva fails to perform it the part-
creatie juice digests the starches: In
order to insure that desirable action
in the mouth, it is necessary to masti-
cate starch., • foods very thoroughly;
only by that means can we make it
possible for the saliva to reach every
part of the grass and keep in cent,act
with it for a long enough tune to pro-
duce its effort. Once the saliva is
thoroughly mixed with the food, it
will,. continue its digestive action for
a considerable time in the stomach.
It acts in that way only nn cooked
starches and not on meat.
In man 'there are three sots of
glands that secrete saliva: the parotid,
the submaxsillary and the sublingual.
To our sorrow many of us know the
location of the parotid glands, just be-
low the ear; it is their swelling that
ceruses the exquisite pain in mumps.
The composition of the saliva from
these several glands varies consid-
erably, but the mixed secretion is a
clear opalescent fluid, of alkaline re-
action, without odor or taste. In
health, anything put into the mouth,
or even the: thought of s. Ty food
when we axe hun ,renthetintu'iiide+s, the
r ,
secretion. It can also be increased
by certain movements of the tongue,
It is detrimental, however, to stimu-
late the glands unnecessarily, for this
if for no other reason, that it aids
the disgusting habit of spitting.
A Caster n Filter,
A practical and cheap cistern filter
is a four' -'inch partition -wall in the
centre. It should be built of bricks
laid in cement. There should be no
crevices in the joints. Do not plaster
either aide of the partition wall with
cement, as is necessary with the bal-
ance of the cistern.
The walls should be built at a right
angle, with the opening where the wa-
ter flows in. On the ,opposite side of
tlhe partition is the proper place for
the pump. The suction pipe to sup-
ply the plumbing system with soft
water must also be placed on the ap-
posite side.
A cistern should be cleaned at feast
every second year to ebtain good re-
sults. Unless there are strainers in
the gutters, leaves gather and even-
tually run into the 'cistern. In time
they will lodge against the filter wall
and retard the flow of water through
it.
Construct the neck and top of the
ci:s�tern oblong. Have the opening
large enough so a person can pass
through in order to get ,iris ide to do
the cleaning. The mistake of mak-
ing the neck circular is frequently
made. Then the opening on either
side of the filter wall is too sn all for
the mon of average size to enter,
The filter wall is built from the bot-
tom of the cistern to the lrig're;;t point
of the neck. There are swerve good
patented filters on the market. They
operate successfully, bot- often re •
quire a good deal of attention after
being installed.

• .Mysteries of the Air.
The air also holds its mysteries.
Not yet has, it given up the secret of
Cecil Grace or Gustav Hamel. To th
1 list of such secrets of the air mus
' be added the case of Capt, Picton
Warlow.
It was towards the close of 1914
that the Bleriot two-seater monoplane
was discarded by the military author
ities as being too slow in climbing
with the full military load. Such
'buses of this type as could be spared
from service at the Front, and were
serviceable for school purposes, were
allowed to be flown back by officers
coming on leave.
With a sufficient supply of petrol to
last him for twice the distance of
his intended flight, Captain Warlow,
after testing the aeroplane with a
short "flip," set out for England. The
weather was fine at the time, with a
certain amount of low-lying cloud.
Never since has he been heard of.
We must wait until the sea gives up
its dead.

Currant Trees vs. Bushes.
Are you plianning to set any currant
bushes this, spring, or thin out and re-
novate currant bushes needing such
improvement ? •
Hereafter I intend to have all my
currants grow in tree•forre instead of
in hush form. Currants grown an
shrub -like trees are easier picked, and
there is considerably less labor In
keeping the ground free •af weeds than
is the case when this fruit is grown in
the usual clump form of bushes. Also,
the shrub -like currant trees eit^e oxnae
mental as well as useful, and they can
be made to.add to the attractiveness
of the grounds about the home.
To secure the tree form, I start the
slips from •a single cutting, or else
remove all buds but one from' the cut-
ting. Even then new buds wild some-
times develop, causing side sprouts,
which, unless carefully destroyed, will
form separate roots and result in
bushes instead of the tree form want-
ed.
Unless the grower intends to give
his currants close attention and the
best of care, he will gain nothing by
growing them in tree form. But
for a select special trade the fruit can
be easier thinned, and more sunlight
and air admitted to the fruit, which
aids in getting higher quality and
larger sized berries.
Since war requirements cut down
our sugar allowance, the currant has
been somewhat under a cloud; but
this fruit will come back into popular
favor. One trouble with currants as
grown of fate years has been neglect
to keep the bushes opened up to the
sunlight and air, The overthick
clumps of bushes have yielded sinall
fruit of extreme acid flavor,
