PUTTING HENS TO NOVEL USE German Would Train Them to Announce Aeroplane's Approach, Is Report. The London Daily Chronicle republishes from the Cologne Gazette an odd article on the use of animals to signify the approach of enemy aeroplanes. The writer, who is evidently quite serious, has noticed that the sight of certain animals is much keener than that of human beings, and in a hasty view of the entire aninial kingdom he comes to the conclusion that birds have the most alert vision and that hens and pigeons are the birds most easily trained and most reliable. 1 lens protect their chickens against soaring birds of prey which U 1 sharpest human sight cannot discover; the pigeons will fly in any weather and are extraordinarily docile. The training of a hen or a pigeon to announce the approach of an aeroplane is much easier than one would think. They are to be placed captured in the vicinity of a descending air machine, and as soon as the •airman lands he is to rush at the unfortunate fowls and belabor them with a rod. This practice is to be repeated until the hen or the pigeon believes its life to be endangered by anything on |B large scale descending from the skies. All day long these terrified fowls will strain their vision skyward and the remotest speck in the vault of heaven will flutter the dovecotes and hencoops as nothing else would. ODD TABLES ARE IN DEMAND Ready Sale for Every Kind, Since There Is Always Room for One More in Any Room. Everybody is “picking up” odd tables these days, and the mon quaint and unusual one’s collection the more distinguished. Very old tables are of course the most desirable, but genuine old mahogany is ;becoming hard to get at any price. Good imitations of colonial and old English designs are obtainable, however, though even these are by no imeans cheap. There is always room for one more table in any room, and small stands of mahogany, fitted into corners too small for larger pieces o! furniture, give a homelike air to a room and make convenient places for photographs, tall vases, books and small bits of bric-a-brac. Only one or at most two articles should be /placed on one of these little tables or the room will look overcrowded. A silver photograph frame and a vase makes a charming combination. Two books and a framed print or a small bronze go well together. The nested tables, three in a group, all slenderlegged and dainty, are favorites for drawing-room use. Gate-legged tables and console tables are also much sought after. PATRIOTIC SACRIFICES. — “Is your congressman willing to make sacrifices for his country?” “I should say so,” replied Farmer Corntossel. “He gets up in congress and talks by the hour when he might be gettin’ real money for printin’ the same thing in the magazines.” MATTER OF POLITENESS. “ Do you believe that idiots ought to be killed in infancy?” “Well, I wouldn’t like to answer that question to your face.” HIS LIMIT. A ’ “Does he pay attention when you remind him of his debts?” . “Yes, but that is all he ever does pay.” THE RIGHT THING. “Old Bichboy has locomotor ataxia.” / “No, it isn’t; it’s the latest make of limousine.” | JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE. Green—l don’t mean to reflect on your character at all, but— Brown—You are not bright enough to jefleet on anyone. NO DOUBT. I ‘Does your daughter execute well ion the piano?” “You just ought to hear her kill time.” — OBJECTION SUSTAINED. “The baseball player you pointed mut to me is an ugly mug.” * “He isn’t a mug at all; he’s a pitcher.”
