TO OPERATE AIRSHIP FLEET
Ambitious Plana Credited to English
Company Well Within the Realm
ef Possibility.
A company has been formed In Eng-
land for the purpose of operating a
fleet of airships to various parts of the
world. The syndicate desires to ac-
quire ground near Southport, where It
proposes to erect a tower 120 to 150
feet high to which airships may be
moored, and an elevator will take the
passengers up the tower and Into the
gondolas of the ships. The syndicate
Intends to have a fleet of non-ripld
airships in commission next spring:
the smniler will carry 32 passengers
and crew and the larger 40 passengers
and crew. The company also antic-
ipates runn'ng some of the larger
rigid airship now in course of con-
struction. T! "«e will have a carrying
eapa city of r-o passengers and be able
to travel to any part of the globe. It
ts proposed to use the smaller non-
rigid airships to feed the larger ones
and meet them at the principal cen-
ters. The cost per mile Is put at about
half the cost of a taxicab fare today,
approximately about 18 cents per mile.

WHERE THE DON HELD SWAY
Palace of Santa Fe for Three Cen-
turies Housed High Representa-
tives of Spanish Power.
One of the Interesting building* Ht
Santa Ke is the old palace of the go.-

years Spain ruled" u lnrge part of Non I
America now a part of the Cniteti
States—Mcntaiia. part of Texas, pa"'
of Kansas, unii part of Oklahoma.
It was liuilt in 1MB by Juan
Dilute, who whs the great gruudsoi
of Muiiteftuiiia, the Aztec emperor •
illicit hi Mexico, anil the grandson of
Hernandez Cortex, the Spanish con-
queror who subdued and took over the
Aztec or Indlau civilization of Mexico
and. with the sword In one hand and
the cross in the other, substituted
Spanish civilization. El I'alaclo. as
i he building is termed lu Spanish, wns
originally designed for a palace, castle
and fortress.
Its vicissitudes during mor# than
three centuries, under Spanish, Indlau,
Mexican and American rule, formed a
most dramatic and thrilling chapter In
the history of the nation. For three
centuries It was not only the seat of
government, but also the home of cap-
tains general and governors, their re-
tainers and families, and from time to
time It housed the dungeon, the jail
the post office, the legislature, the
supreme court, the territorial secre-
tary and family, the tentorial law li-
brary and law offices. On every page
of tiie history of the venerable edi-
fice one finds romance, stirring Inci-
dents and important episodes, In which
the figures of Spanish conquerors and
Franciscan monks, Indian chieftains
nnd American adventurers, soldiers,
statesmen, authors, scientists and
dainty society ladies step Into the
spotlight to vanish again as Father
Time, grim and Inexorable, swings his
cycle.—Exchange.

MAN REALLY KNOWS LITTLE
Even the Wisest of the Human Race
Amazingly Ignorant, Asserts a
Writer In Boston Paper.
ADDED TO ROLL OF HONOR
Soldiers Reported "Missing In Action*
Have Been Clasoed as "Pro-
turned Dead."
According to The Home Sector there
are still between 250 and 300 members
of the American front line army sUll
unaccounted for.
In speaking of this war mystery of
missing men the ex-soldler's magazine
says: "Soldiers who go into battle are
like men who go down to the sea in
ships. There are those who return and
those who do not. those who live and
those who 'I t*. And then there are
those who dweil for years In a twilight
zone of uncer'n nty. neither life nor
denth. from which no word ever comes
back to the shores called home.
"A few weeks ago the newspnpers
of the country announced that there
were no more members of the A. E. F.
'missing In action.' The only reason
they are not missing In action Is that
they have been 'presumed dead.'
"There are still between 250 and 300
members of the American front line
army unaccounted for, who. carried on
I the rolls for months and months as
I missing in action, seem to have dls
appeared from the battle field as It
by the wave of a magician's wand,
lenvlng neither the ripple of a rumor
behind them, the testimony of an eye
nor a footprint in all the paths of the
world.
"They are the Irreducible minimum
of the 50.000 lost, strayed or stolen
men that the A. E. F. carried on the
morning of Nov. 12. 1918. as missing
In action. To piard against Injustice
to their relatives or friends, the war
department has ordered that from
henceforth they be carried as 'pre-
sumed dead' instead of 'missing In ac-
tion.' in order that their war risk in-
surance benefits may be paid. That <n
brief explains why the American army
as it stands demobilized today techrT-
cally has no 'missing In action.'"
Malaria and Quinine.
Many fuses of "mularla" are really
quinine poisoning. The amount of qui-
nine administered Is often large, and
the smaller doses are continued for
too long. In consequence, a condition
of debility Is indeed, which, as its
cause continues, also persists. Such
Is the conclusion of Dra. J. Cowan and
& H. Strong of London. All drugs,
they say. are cf little value If attention
Is not paid to rest nnd, next, to pro-
tection from the sun and chill.
The wisest man in the world knows
only tiny fraction of what there Is to
be learned, and the mass of human
knowledge, painfully acquired and (
handed on since our far-off ancestors
came down out of the trees, Is only a
faint glimmer In the midst of the dark j
unknown.
Much of the unknown is unknow- |
able; a little of it. the human mind |
laboriously takes possession of ascen- ,
turies pass.
Most of us are amazingly Ignorant
We are like the classic example of
the school children, conning their
books, who couldn't tell what kind of
wood their desks were made of.
Actually, we are afraid of seeming
to know too much outside of the trod-
den ways; we despise the "high-
brow."
| And at the same time how contemp-
I tuous we are likely to be of some one
j who seems to be more ignorant than
! ourselves.
I The man who has stopped learning
| Is living at a standstill. Make every-
j one you meet your teacher, If you
1 .: . * Ufa Thnt
Reasons for Feeding Birds.
By feeding the birds In cold weather
one provides ammunition against the
mosquitoes of Jun . explains a mem-
ber of the Animal Protective league.
It seems that blrtls feed their young
on mosquitoes, thus destroying great
numbers of the pests. Little natural
food is available for birds In the win-
ter except in the extreme South, and
even there less can be found by them
ft this season than in the summer. So
when the table or pantry shelf Is
cleared of crumbs If the contents «>f
the crumb tray arc scattered outdoors
instead of being put In the garbage
can, the birds will be thankful, and
will show their gratitude by saving
the food-giver many a mosquito bite
next summer.
Mosquitoes are only one of the many
excellent reasons why birds should be
fed during the winter. The others sn-
ail the other Insects which hamper
the production of the garden, and all
pleasures of song and plumage.—St.
Joseph CSazette.
DIVE WITH WOUNDED WHALE
Japanese "Ride" Their Quarry If It
•inks After the Harpoon Has
Done Its Work.
Japauese whalemen are skilled and
daring In their pr«fesslou. often en-
countering a gf'isii many dangers.
Many glv* up t„cir lives to accomplish
the uialn thing at issue—the capturo
of the whale. The expert ut the whal-
ing crew must prove ills mettlo after
the whale has become exhsusted from
being harpooned.
The skilled Japanese Jumps on the
whale's buck, cutting two gashes t*
the head. Often the animal make* fc
deep dive, but the little Japaueee must
hold fast to his quurry and dive also,
trusting to his fatea that the air sup-
ply in his lungs will last as long ae
the whale's.
The Japanese Is safer from brfng
drowned than from helnc crushed by
the Infuriated anlmul's tall. If the
hunter lets go It usually means death,
ao he hangs on to the diving qusrry.
Frequently these whalemen lose thel^
lives from drowning, but the meinbei*
of their crew look upon this misfor-
tune with something of a fatalistic re-
gard.
When the animal is finally caught
and towed to shore the Japanese mnkt
huge excavations, penetrating lusldo
the animal's body as though entering
a mine shaft or gallery, and eventu-
ally making their exit covered wUh
blood. This gruesome alght la look*#
upon as a matter of worse among
Japanese whalemen.
North Dakota'a Lignite.
A government report says "the fuel
problem has been forever solved In
North Dakota." The western half of
the «tate is underlaid with lignite, the
beds estimated to contain 600,000,000.-
000 tons. Over thousands of square
miles this soft coal lies so ctose to the
surface that farmers merely dig a
hole In their own fields and take out
the coal as they require It During
1918 1,000.000,000 tons were mined. If
the farmer Is too busy with his farm
work to help himself, he can buy it
for $1.50 or $2 per ton. Many of the
large grain elevntors are operated by
power furnished by coal that Is mined
on the spot, and ibis general economy
in fuel bus aided materially in In-
creasing the per ci.plta wealth.

Win Fight on Yellow Fever.
In 1918 the Rockefeller foundation
sent a sanitary commission to Ecuadot
for the purpose of arranging with th
Ecuadorian government to take th#
responsibility of eradicating yellow
fever from Guayaquil. The proposal
was accepted June 10, 1918, when a
celebrated bacteriologist arrived and
began his work. He succeeded In dis
covering the germ which causes yellow
fever, his Investigations promising to
produce not only a preventive, but
also a cure for this malady.

Alcohol and Plante.
By means of a magnetic lever rotat-
ing a delicately poised astatic needle
that actuates a small mirror, the cres-
cograph can give a magnification i>f
1 to 1,000,000,000. Its inventor, Sir
Jagadls Chandra Bose, has used It to
show the actual "crescent" process of
plants. Like the movement of a gla-
cier, the growth of a plant Is an ac-
tual progress, difficult, maybe, to
measure, but measurable nevertheless,
and there Is no reason why Sir Jaga-
dls' Invention should not be turned to
very Important uses. He showed on
the screen thnt the use of alcohol had
a curiously errntic effect ln the growth
of the plant and by so much waa out
of all harmony with the plant's "natu-
ral," thnt Is, normal and harmonious,

Qlaas Statues.
Evidence that the manufacture tt

discovered by Dr. P. E. Pierls In the
Jaffna peninsula. The doctor dis-
coursed on his discoveries at s rece«t
meeting of the Ceylon branch of th*
Royal Asiatic society. He declared
he had found glass beads and gluss
fragments which proved the antiquity ^
of the Ceylon glass Industry and which,
by their greenish hue, explained, lo
his opinion, the constant references
In ancient Singhalese works to emer-
ald statues of Buddha. It was quite
clear from Dr. Plerls' description that
the statues were not emerald, but were-'
made of green-tinted glass, which must •
have been of local manufacture. The
glass beads which he had discovered
were all of palpable antiquity, for be
