| MEN IN SECOND PLACE FRENCH ARMY OFFICIALS RELY ON WOMEN AVIATORS. Have Many Points of Superiority Which Must Be Taken Into Account When the Trumpets of War Are Sounded. i The French army department has determined to have as many women I aviators in its air battalions as it posi sibly can, says an English paper. For ■ this purpose a special law will hawe to i he passed making women eligible for , army service. The fact is that the leaders of aviation in France have come to the conclusion that women make better avlI ators than men, and they are deter- ) I mined to encourage women tliers in ,; every possible way. Their first step has been to make . Mlle. Helene Dutrieu a chevalier of the Legion of Honor, a decoration that has j been given to very few women. Among the experiments undertaken !' by the French authorities were a number deeding with the effects of height, I ! speed, quickness of thought and action, ay.d other essentials of flying. Tn these experiments both men and woI men took part, and. to the amazement of every one. it was found that, the women were far better air pilots than ! their male competitors. First of all. women are more primitive than men. They are far less well | developed mentally; and. though the man in the street may not think it, women are not so nervous as men. A woman is less liable, say the French scientists, to collapse in the higher altitudes of the air than a man. Her greater capacity for bearing pain, V rather her insensibility to pain, enables her to withstand the cold of the upper regions of the atmosphere—cold so intense that more than one aviator has lost control of his machine through it and been dashed to death. j Another cause which makes a woman better at high altitudes is the fact that she needs less oxygen for breathing than men. She Is. in consequence. less affected by the rarified air. a further proof of which fact is ■ that quite a large number of women have earned the highest reputations for mountain climbing. The fifth statement in the report 1 says: “The arc of a woman’s vision is nearly twice that of a man.” Put in | ordinary language, this means that I while a man only sees what is directly in front of him. a woman sees things at the side as well. A man's vision is concentrated, while a woman’s is spread. This ability to see all round, as it . were, is of the greatest possible importance in aviation. The airman does net want to see just ahead so much as each side and above him. The general look of things toils him the state of the atmosphere, and enables him to steer clear of dangerous eddies, currents, 1 and so on. A woman, also', is not so concern ■ (.rated in her thought as a man. The 1 latter thinks of only one thing at a ' time, while a woman thinks of sevI eral things, and is able to deal with ' them all successfully. This faculty is - called “diffused attention'.’ by scientists. and is valuable in the air. j Finally, the report to the French . war office states that the woman’s spe- ' cific gravity is less. The highly-developed modern woman. however, Is useless for driving an aeroplane, according to the scieni ists. It is her home-loving sister, who is not so highly concentrated, who has the power of “diffused attention." who will make the air-woman i of the future. Elephant's Little Trick. The almost human intelligence of the elephant was well exhibited by i the school boy sort of a joke cornmonl ly played on visitors by the big fellow i j in the Jardin des Plantes at Paris. His house opened upon an enclosure containing a pond, in which he would lay himself under the water conceali ing every part except the very end 'of his trunk—a mere speck that would hardly be noticed by a stranger to ; the animal's habits. A crowd would often assemble round the enclosure, and. not seeing him in i it, would watch In expectation that he would soon issue from the house; ■ but while they were gazing about, a copious sprinkling of water would fall I upon them, and ladies and gentlemen, j with their fine bonnets and coats, would run for shelter under the trees, looking up at the clear sky, and wondering whence Buch a shower could come. Immediately afterward, however, i they would see the elephant rising slowly from his bath, evincing, as it . sreJned, an awkward joy at the trick that he had played. Tn the course of time his amusement became generally known; and the moment the water began to rise from his trunk the spec- . tators would take flight, at which he appeared exceedingly delighted, get- , Ung up as fast as he could to see the bustle he had caused. Coupons, Mrs. Gotham—Wouldn’t you rather have your husband buy you things for the house than spend his money for cigars? Mrs. Flatbush—Why, if he hadn't smoked so much we never would have | , got all this furniture. No Advantage. “I’d have you know, my good sir, that I am a man of very good birth connections.” "That’s nothing. So is a Pullman i car norter.” : ' < ■ ... - -

: ORIGIN OF THE SHIP SCREW Dismantled Bark Was Propelled to Port by Entangled Whale, Ac- ' cording to Story. Johann van den Hroeck, who arrived the other day from Java on his way home to Zaaudam, Holland, to see his family, said that his grandfather, Cori nelius van den Broeck, was the first man to have tlw idea of screw propollers for steamships Instead of side wheels. i "It was in 1838, I have been told,” i said Mr. van den Broeck at the Wai- - dorf-Astoria, the New York Times • says, “that my grandiatner command- > ed a stout old Dutch bark of 900 tons, sailing from Amsterdam to the East Indies. The Groote Marie she was called. Tn trying to weather the Cape ■ of Good Hope the bark was dismasted, and, like the Flying Dutchman of Y’anderdecken. it looked as if the i Groote Marie would spend her days to the crack of doom frying to get around i to the Indian jjeean on her way to ' Java. One stormy afternoon the bark was suddenly rocked by a crashing blow on her high square wooden stern. "The captain and his officers, with the crew on deck, rushed and saw that the Groote Marie had been hit by a whale which h;ui stuck fast in the timbers and was slashing the sea with its tail to get free. “The water began pouring into the after hold and Capt. van den Broeck ordered the after hatch to be taken off to see how much water was com ing in. Directly the hatch covers were removed, the enormous head of the whale could be seen in the gloom of the hold, and he started to blow the water out through the open hatch as , fast ns it poured in, so my grandfa- : ther said, and in his struggle to release himself the whale propelled the bark ahead at seven knots an hour into Cape Town harbor.” Mr. van den Hroeck added that his grandfather tried to get some of the Dutch merchants in Cape Town to | take an interest in patenting a propeller for use on steamers instead of paddle wheels, as the Cunard line then had on the Atlantic, but they shook their heads and said they had little faith in steam and prophesied that canvas would still be the motive power for ships. When Capt. van dei? Broeck returned to Amsterdam his brother skippers, who assembled daily In the old case in the Prins Hendrik Gracht. laughed at his yarn and said that the captain had taken too much Schiedam ane night and dreamed the whale story. Irish Fluency. Educated persons find it hard to believe that an Irish peasant speaks always with a compelling sense of style. That it is so, Mr. Padraic Colum declares in “My Irish Year.” He tells ■ of a man saying that “he v as offered gallons of gold in Caron jail to betray the country." He used "gallons" with ■gold" for the alliteration. Another man said, "I could have made monuments of money, if I had stayed in America." It is said that the English peasant nas a vocabulary of from 300 to 500 words. Doctor Pedersen took down 7,500 words used by the Irish peasantry of the Aran islands. Dr. Douglas Hyde wrote down a vocabulary of 3,uOO words from-the mouths of Roscommon peasants who could neither read nor write, and he thinks he fell short by 1,000 words of the vocabulary in actual Use! He believes that in Munster, especially in Kerry, the average voeabulary in use among Irish speakers is probably between 5.000 and 6,000 words. Behind this abundant vocabulary’ here is a highly developed social sense. In peasant Ireland, satire is, current, and has noticeable effect. An' old man ate a meal in his son's house nne day, and afterward he spoke of his laughter-in-law's housekeeping. "God made meat,” says he, "and somebody else mad© cooks." The Gael has always been marked for his abundant vnd vivid speech, and for his conspicuous martial qualities. “Born soldiers of fortune.” says the German historian. ‘Very great scorners of death,” says the Elizabethan observers.—Youth's Companion. Lazy Husbands Pull Stumps. Preparing to enforce the lazy husbands law’ and to provide work for county prisoners, Sheriff Cudihee and the board of commissioners are arranging for the construction of a stockade on 65 acres of county land north of Seattle. A delegation of club women and others urged the board to provide outdoor work for the moral aud physical welfare of the prisoners. The new system will mean the employment of lour or five guards and a cook aud the construction of a stockade and fence. A stump puller and donkey engine will be put into commission. The lazy husbands law is expected to increase the number of coiinty prisoners, as the prosecuting attorney was bombarded with inquiries from anxious wives as to when the law will • take effect. It provides for imprisonment, trial and punishment of husbands who neglect or refuse to work and support tYeir families.—New York Sun. Silver Lining Query. Robert Perks, British. M. P., having declared that in the eastern part of the irtired States Christianity exists only in name while the organist and i choirmaster are more important than the clergymen, what "knocker” will have the hardihood hereafter to raise the question, “Are we a musical peo- [ nle?” /I’ : ' ■ ..
