to -day (1.54 p.m, Greenwich mean
time), after an •aerial voyage of 108
'hours and 12 minutes, Which' covered
.8,600 miles from East Fortune, Scot-
land. When the super -Zeppelin ar-
rived here she had left only enough
petrol to keep her moving ninety min-
utes longer. Her crew' of thirty per-
sons, almost •sleepless for four and
;a half days, were weary almost tb'the
point of exhaustion, but happy at the
successful completion of the epoch -

bably will be started at '8. a.m. Tues -
,day.
The R-34 was forced to cruise 2,Q50•
knots to reach Trinity Bay, Nfld., from
East Fortune, , Scotland, and 1,080
knots from theny'e to Mineola.

wake of the air monster, running
under forced 'draft, Until 'Cape • Cod
was reached, and then the. dirigible
cut across lots. •
The mammoth balloon,. , looping litre
a huge flying fish, was sighted in the
distance about 9 o'clock, and fifteen

With the R-34 long• overdue at its

_Lieut. Hoyt, U,S.N., the ground
officer, had assembled, on the field
a force of more than 500 •s•oldiers and
sailors ready for instant action as the
R-34 circled lower and lower. When
she was only 200 feet above the

soldiers and sailors, shouted gleefully

RATE PEACE
JULY NINETEENTH
CE
His Majesty the King Appoints
Day For Empire Peace
Festival.
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
His Majesty has issued a proclama-
tion appointing Sunday the 6th day of
July, .as .a day of general thanksgiving
for the blessing of peace, and it is
his desire that this •day shall be ob-
servde not only in all the United King-
dom', but in all quarters of the Empire..
The King has also given his sanction
to a peace celebration in the United
Kingdom on Saturday, July 19, and
the hope• is expressed that all parts
of the Empire will join as far as pos-
sible ,inn celebrating poa•ce on that day.
Inasmuch as war is still being wag-
ed in many campaigns in Europe, and
while peace still remains to be signed
with three of the enemy nations, the
Government of Canada were of opin-
ion that a later date would be more
appropriate.
However, ine view of his Majesty's
proclamation, and having regard to
the desire expressed as to a general
celebration of keace throughout the
Empire, the Government have ap-
pointed Sunday, the 6th day of July,
as a day of general thanksgiving for
the blessing of peace, and they have
also concurred in appointing Satur-
day, the 19th day of July, for peace
celebrations in a]1 parts of the D.omin-
inn.

HOW.'TO TELL A CRIMINAL.
-Peculia•rities. of Head • Development
Are Present in Moat Cases.
Many criminals who might other-
wise have escaped have been detect-
ed by 'the abnormal development of
their heads.
Professor Lombroro,. a great crimi-
nologist, said that it was his opinion
that all criminals except thieves had
z markable heads. Charles Peace; is
a striking example, for his .head was
an enormous size, whilst his ears were
very prominent.
Irregular heads are another feature
in criminals of all classes. The thief
possesses this peculiarity in addition
to a remarkably small head. The
lower part of the face has always a
heavy '?appearance, and crime experts
declare that the weight of the lower
jaw is far above that of an ordinary
luau. Young thieves often have a

for the present, but the summer is

security, but rather will maintain
careful vigilance and prevent as. far
as possible the recurrence of. a forest

WORLD'S FASTEST CAMERA
Two Miles a Second Speed of One
Recently Invented.
A''wenderful.new invention is a
camera made 'by Professcr H. B
Dixon, ,a Manchester man, which re-
cords,. ibn a film anything traveling
at •a• speed of close to two miles a
second. He has constructed the fast-
est camera in the world, usually
taking a hundred yards of film photo-
graph in a second.
This speed is not fast enough, how-
ever, for the professor's purpose. and
he is now busy studying the flame of
explosions created by alcohol, petrol,
and other motor fuels. He tests thein
singly and in mixtures, and is intent
on photographing the flame of an ea
plosion traveling at a speed of 3,00E
yards a second.
He has succeeded in getting -his
films to record a flame traveling at
this speed by fixing on the camera
a lens that reduces each image to one -
twelfth of the ordinary size and set-
ting the serene, at right ,angles to
the lines along which the flame
travels.
The exact measurements Professor
Dixon has obtained are likely to have
a great effect on the production of
British motor fuel,,, Attached to tits,
marvelous camera is a delicate tinie
piece that measures the travel of the
flame down to the ten -thousandth of
a second, and with these new instru-
ments the profeshor is making precise
discoveries of the firing -point of all
the new kinds of motor fuel. He com-
presses them in a steel cylinder and
then fires them under the eye of the
camera.
