HUGE PLANE CARRIER
NEW EiGINE IS BEING.
BUILT SECRETLY.
Contains Platform on Which
the Fastest Machines Can
Alight Safely,
The .strides Great Britain is taking
in a"viation are evidenced. by the con
etruetiion now under, way ofa giant air
engine said to be twice as powerful as
any in existence, and the development
of a naval airplane carrier of a re-
volutionary character.
The airplane engine, : which will de-
velop 200 horsepower' a cylinder; is
being built secretly on tie outskirts of
London, Air Ministry officials are re-
ported to be confident that the new
engine will make a transatlantic trip
in less than twenty-four hours a possi-
bility,
Originated in Italy.
The principle -of the new engine was
originated in Italy, but the British en-
gineers have made improvements on
it. If fitted into a bombing machine of
ordinary type the plane, would have an
effective radius of 3,000 miles. Yet it
le asserted that this powerful engine Is
no heavier than the average airplane
engine.
The decks of the new airplane car-
riers are free of obstructions. The fun-
nels are set on the starboard side of
the vessels, making it ap.ear as if an
. addition had been added to the vessels.
The two upper decks are connected by
bilge lifts with the aerodrome deck,
while the lower ones are equipped as
workshops• for making repairs. The fly-
ing deck also is fitted with a search-
light and a landing tower so that the
planes can alight at night. '
Has Platform to Alight On. .
The carrier is equipped with an in-
genious rotating endless platform for
the planes' to land and get off. The
machine hops off in the opposite di-
rection to that in which the platform
rotates so that more speed can be at-
tained, By the use of this platform
the fastest plane can alight on the
deck of the airplane carrier, for a ma
chine• which is going three miles a
Minute can be brought • to a atop in a
space of not more than forty feet.
The fact is that though the British
are far behind France in the number
of planes they have, they are devoting
,great attention to designing, and con-
structing, huge and ;.powerful aircraft.

Hurry is not characteristic of the
present century alone; our ancestors
.mere not always immune from the
liable; The. Dutch artist Vanderstraa-
ten was a master In scheming out
short cuts and saving time.
Vainderstraaten had little difficulty,
It is said, in painting in a day thirty
landscapes the • size of an ordinary
sheet of drawing 'paper. He would sur-
round himself with pots of paint, each
,of which had its particular purpose—
one for the clouds, one for the grass,
one for the shadows. When he was
ready to begin painting he called to
his assistant, "Boy, a cloud!" and the
lad speedily brought the desired pot.
Vanderstraaten, with a thick brush,
quickly transferred the clouds to the
canvas. With the finishing strokes, he
called: "There are the clouds; bring
the grass'!" And so it went, without
a moment's waste of time, until the
thirty landscapes were finished.

TTUR INC SCIATICA
A Nerve Trouble. Due . to a
Watery Condition of the Blood.,
Fierce darting pains, Paine like red
hot needles being' driven through the
flush—iu the thigh, perhaps down the
leg to the tingle --that's sciatica, Norse
but the victim can realize the torture
of this trouble, But the sufferer need
not grow discouraged; elle trouble Is
due to the fact that the nerves are
being ,starved :by poor, watery blood,
and when the blood is enriched the
Pales of sciatica will disappear. As a
blood eericher and purifier no other
medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. They-le:leg to the brood just the
elements necessary to restore it to
normal richness and redness, That is
why 80 many sufferers from sciatica,
and other forms of nerve` trouble, have
found relief through taking these. pills.
Mr. D. M. Anderson, Beachburg, Ont.,
tells what Dr, Williams' Pink Pills
have done for him as follows:—"Some
years ago I was badly afflicted with
sciatica. I could hardly walk and suf-
fered great pain when I did so. I went
to a doctor, but his medicine did not
seem to do me any good. A man who
was working with me told me he had
once been like that and that Dr. Wil-
Hams' Pink Pills had made him all
right., I began to take them, continu-
!
ing to work. and the trouble disap-
peered, and I did not lose a day, al-
though sernetimes I suffered terribly.
Later I had another attack, and again
the pills came to my relief. Now I
take three boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills every spring and fall, and I have
had no attack of the trouble since
that time."
"You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents

cine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Don't Kill the Earthworm.
To rid soil of weeds a roller has
been invented into which a boiler
feeds steam, which. is injected into the
ground. for several inches through
spikes.
It occurs to me that such a weed
treatment will do a lot of harm by
killing worms. The part performed by
worms in rendering the soil fertile is
not generally understood. .Darwin es-
timated that worms, by swallowing
earth for the sake of the vegetable
matter it contains., and afterwards ex-
pelling it, bring to the surface as much
as ten tons of earth per annum on an
acre.
By boring, perforating and loosening
the soil, worms make it pervious ' to
-rains and the fibres of plants. The
stalks `of leaves, twigs, straws,etc.,
they di'9,W into the Fail is no -`inn n-
9iderab1e Whelp The cylindrical _'males
:of earth~voided' by earthworms (calked
worn -casts) constitute onie of the very
best•manures for grain and grass. Let
alone, the worms throw these up in
countless numbers; travelers have
found them on lofty mountain heights,
notably in the Sikkim Mountains of
Northern India.
The earth without worms would
eventually become cold, hard and bar-
ren, This actually has occurred in sec-
tions where the worms ' have been
either accidentally or intentionally de-
stroyed, and the fertility of the soil
thus lost has been restored only when
the worms have again collected and
resumed their fertilizing work—L. E.
Eubanks..
Oldest Map.
The oldest map in existence Is a
piece of mosaic in a Byzantine church
at Malaba, in Palestine. It represents
part of, the Holy Land, and is 1,700
years old.
There are some souls in the world
who have the gift of finding joy
everywhere, and leaving it behind
them when they go. Their influence is
an inevitable gladdening of the heart.
They give light without meaning to
shine. Their bright hearts have a
great work to do for God.—Faber.

The name, however, is not neces-

English speech, but is, in reality, a
full-fledged tongue in itself, corning

to light a fairly heavy proportion of

And rock-ribbed mountains at her back,

Where Nature's liquid music calls,
Across the Rapids to the west,
The eagle brooding on her nest,
Another city welcomes you,
With Stars and Stripes—thee Yankee
"Soo."
No fortress facing north or south;
NQ "Bertha" lifting morbid mouth;
No frontier with police patrol;
Each city sees the other's soul.
The peace that for a hundred years
Has triumphed over all our fears
Shall cover for a thousand more
Atlantic and Pacific shore!
Republic and Dominion stand
As friend to friend, with heart and
hand,
A,crosts the Border, to and fro,
Fond lovers and their sweethearts
go. •
Through north and south, from east to
west,
Not "hate," but "song of move" is best;
All hail, Twin Cities of the "Soo,"
The world shall go to school to you!

An Arch of Triumph in
Ypres Salient.
Preparations are in an advanced
state to erect an Arch of Triumph at
the Menin gate to commemorate the
feats. of British arms in the Ypres
salient, according to the Ypres. Times.
It Is learned that agreement has been
reached with the dominions and India
on the matter, and that the memorial
will 'be erected to the memory of all
who fought in the salient, but will in-
clude a special reference to the "miss-
ing," whose names will be inscribed
on it, as they cannot be, of course, in.

The Cartoonist.
Seated on the deck of the ocean
liner;: the cartoonist amused himself by
drawing pictures of the, different pas-
sengers. A few months before he had
been employed on a Chicago news -
Paper; now, a professional cartoonist
no longer, he was on his way to the
Phill:ippines, a missionary of the gos-
pee His vision had been as swift as
it had been bright. -
A- number of notable people were
Melting the trip, and among them were
the captain of an American battleship
tend rreiree or four millionaires with
their; wives.. One of the women, be-
conling` enthusiastic over the cartoon-
1€t',s•,;:ability, asked him whether he
would draw a picture of her husband.
Tlhie "cartoonist complied graciously,
and while he was at work the wife of
the captain watched with interest.
"Oh," she exclaimed at last, "I sup-
pose.you are one of our great Ameri-
can artists on your way to the Philip-
pines for new Ideas! What .a -wonder-
ful thing it is to be so gifted! I sup -
nese you make barrels of money?"
"No, madam," the cartoonist replied,
"I am going to the Philippines: as a
missionary. I have given up my career
as an artist."
The woman regarded himfirst 1n.
asst ' • me thenar 'with reproach.
"The very idea!" sial a':exclaimed. ' "710
think of a young man like you with all
of your ability throwing his .life away
on a lot of worthless heathen. I can
hardly believe you're serious! Really
you are joking, aren't you?"
Eight years:passed, and the cartoon-.
ist and his wife were sailing for, home
on doctor's orders, for the climate had
proved too much for the woman. The
lives of both were wrapped up in their
work; it Was' hard for, them to leave
the natives, who had come to depend
on them, but there was no help far it.
A great Crowd of Filipinos came to
the dock to see the missionaries off.
Tears were running down the faces of
many of'them.- A11 were sad and made
no efforts to hide their feelings. As
the steamer pulled out thousands of
hands waved the missionaries good -by.
The cartoonist and his wife stood
silent together on the deck; their eyes
were wet, and their throats felt tight
and strange. If the, captain's wife bad
witnessed that scene, would she have
said that the cartoonist's' life was
wasted?

frankly, "We do not know," It is
thought tbat these eye spate may have
some utilitarian application. They
form one of the most intricate of all
natural designs. •
The fact that butterflies have been
captured with their eve snots nierced,
as if from the attack of birds hes
been used as an argument in favor of
the view that they must be "protective
markings," imitating eyes•, because
birds strike at the eyes of their vic-
