HIGH 0fi SCROLL OF FAl'.E Is Written the Nam f Frank Luke, Ons of th Ct f American Afr Fighter. What Lieutenant Luke, famous American aviator, would, ar-d often did, attempt was illustrated by Ms last fiQh Starting out alone to attack three draehetts," or observation balloons, he had seen behind the Genua a lines in front of Verdun, lie was inttyrcvpted l-y ten enemy machines. He PURaged them all, got two f them, and escaped the others by seeming himself to be disabled. His "fall" was from directly over the balloons, and before they could be lowered or protected be shot all three of them in flames. But then Luke disappeared, and what became of him "was not known until aftor the armistice. When the allies entered the Tillage of Murrain the rest of the story wis learned from the peasants. The American had been forced by wounds or the disablement of his machine to descend, but he did nt land until he had used his machine run to the extent of killin cr eleven of the mnnj German soldiers stationed thete. Then be itlJgMed safely in nearby fiel and wS. seen to quit his machine and start for a little stream as if to get water. German soldiers ran up, and either by them or by a shot from further airny ho was killed. The German oSeer In command kicked the body and ordered that no one Urn eh it. There it lay till the next morning, when the villagers wore nlJowpd to take it, uncovered, In n cart, to thrfr cemetery and bury it. So ended Frank Lake at the age of i He had lived much, if not long, and down in Phoenix, Ariz., where be was born, they are justly proud of him. He does not lack appreciation elsewhere, for Captain Rickenbaeker j says: "Had lip HvpH h rnnti K,r i me out of business long ago. as America's leading ace. I wouldn't have bad a show against bita." Fatcinatin ef a Helmet. The Hun helmet possesses a stroa? fascination for the American soldier. Apparently he is not able to resist the temptation to capture one whenever or wherever h sees tt. A news story from the Ithine country tells us that German policemen of the towns occupied by the American troops have jriren up wearing helmets. Many of the policemen Rave them up because they had none to wear. Others Oisonticued their use because th American officers made the dtMvmtmmne a request. The American s.oldirs, it is explained, couldn't resist th Impulse to capture the?u. The German policemen were rushed all alonjr tb Rhine and deftly imbonnrted. It all .shows that the primitive Instinct that urges a victor to take from the conquered some symbol of hi? submission continue strong: In the warrior breast. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

tl HI fHTr nr n?nnn Ji UMBO Simple Reason for Uncommon Position cf Trees, Tall Palmyra Palm Growing on Top of Bengal Fig Presents Curious AppearanceNaturalists Explain Apparent Phenomenon. Kvery one has heard .f small trees getting sown on larger ones, and appearing like little babies on the branches of their hosts. But in India it is, in some parts, fairly common to see the tall Palmyra palm growing a.s if from the top of the tree called nongal hg. The appearance this presents is most curious and it has engaged the attention of nearly all travelers in the Thana district of Bombay, where the palm is especially abundant. If one fancies how incontrtuou.i.,a very tall telegraph pole flxecS into he middle of an oak tree and suipouJed by a fcniull crown of fan-shape'dTeaves would look, it can be realized how astonishing the first encounter with the Palmyra palm must he, when similarly united with a fig tree. An explanation, of course, had to be found, and the first casual observers might be divided into those that thought it a case of a hybrid, and the remainder who considered it n graft. But botan ists know that no hybrid or graft has ever been produced between two species that are so distantly related as those In question. As a matter of fact, the introduction of these two friends to each other is made by some of the pretty little birds that abound in the region, including a few of the humming birds. Their principal food, ueorge Michael Kyan tolls us, consists of the minute fruits of the wild fig trees. After collecting a few of these, they usually fly off to the. top of a tall palm to enjoy them in peace. Some of the seeds fall and become lodged in the joints where the leaves spring from the stem. Here, in process of time, they germinate, throwing out roots below and brunches and leaves above. But the 'roots of these fig trees are not content to draw their moisture and food from the little pocket of sand and dust into which they happen to fall. They soon multiply and spread far beyond their original home, into a thick network that covers anil envelops the. whole of the lower part f the Palmyra stem. Branches at t!:e same time multiply above, forming a large bush, which, fvith the roots, monopolizes the situation and makes the palm look like a mere adjunct. p,ut the palm does not mind. All the air it wants is for the leaves above. The encircling sheath of fig roots, moreover, cause it no inconvenience', because it would not, in any case, increase in girth after it had once ri?en from tb -round. It is, in fact, a case of symbiosis r mutual accommodation between the two species. The palm gives the necessary assistance to the baby f.tf, ant afterward support to Its maturing branches, while the foliage which these bear provides welcome! sl.nde to the roots of its patron.

Bruges of Today. Mrs. I?. O. Tufnell, writing in reference to Bruges, says: "I think it may be of interest to you to know that Bruges is extraordinarily little changed since the war. We M ere most, agree ably surprised to find our things left behind intact and only one case had I . i i OAri 1 rr'l, i a . , . . ... ... n-tuni. i He noiei was snii well run and comfortable, and the food was good, only the pre-war prices had changed for the worse! The beautiful old city looked much the same as before. The carillon Is still pealing in the belfry, and few of the public buildings have suffered. The port has been greatly altered, and there the signs of war are very evident, not only, in the huge works started by the enemy, but in the effectual destruction of them by our airmen. Tha shops are open, and the life of Bruges goes on as It did. Only the welcome appearance of khakiclad men or businesslike W. A. A. C.'s strikes a strange note in the cobbled spaces of the Grande Place." Memorial to Great Naval Deed. Were It possible for the British people to forget that greatly daring naval deed of the war known by the nninspiring title of the Zeebrugge raid, the present movement on foot to commemorate it will assure for it perpetual fame, nappily the Initiative has been taken by the city of Bruges, so there is not the slightest element of vainglory in the idea of a memorial to bo erected on a suitable site within a few yards of the spot where the hiockships Intrepid and Iphlgenia were successfully sunk. The actual sinking of these vessels for the purpose of preventing the German submarines using the canal to Bruges, was rendered possible only by the gallantry of the attack made by the old cruiser Vindictive, which was afterward sunk across the fairway at Ostend. Standing on an elevation, the monument will be visible far out to sea. Christian Science Monitor. Suspense Worse Than Attack. There are sailors who will tell you that the actual torpedoing of a vessel was not very much worse than the suspense and the many false alarms any of which might have proved to be an enemy submarine. A merchant captain was looking out to sea one day, when in the distance he thought he saw something dark and round. He watched to see whether it would move. It did move, and then suddenly it dived. There was no time to do 'anything, since he did not know from what direction the torpedo might come. He waited. To his horror the dark, round object rose from the waves only SO yards away from the boat. He said it was the worst moment in his life until he realized on further inspection that the "periscope" was in actual fact a large seal with a dirty yellow neck and a full crop of whiskers. VVar and Roller Skates. It is a far cry from the world war to a child's roller skates, but aecord- - i ing to the fashion exnert of Ponnlnr ! Mechanics Magazine, roller skates of the latest approved model are after th style of British fighting tanks, j oveIty always being uppermost in the I .-"' tit-ait, ti iciaiiers not tnat tne new skates nrt a h!t size. The new skates are like all oth- i ers except tlmt they fare surrounded by tanklike bodies made of light sheet metal.
