    GAVE HER DADDY AWAY.
Little One’s Innocent Remark That
Left the Deacon Gasping.
Every Sunday some one threw a
button into the contribution box of the
little church. The annoyed pastor
confided to his wife that he suspected
the button thrower to be stingy old
Deacon G., who had so strongly op
posed his “call” to the pastorate, but
that he dare not accuse him of it for
lack of evidence.
At a church "sociable” that week
some one suggested the playing of
games. Deacon G. had just partaken
of oyster soup at some one else's ex
pense and felt warmed and expansive.
“Why not play ‘Button, button—
who’s got the button?’ he inquired of
waiting children.
“Oh, yes!” exclaimed his youngest
daughter with enthusiasm. "And you
lend us the button, papa!” Then she
drew back, timorously. “Unless you
want to save it for next Sunday’s con
tribution," she added, considerately.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fln«
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

Admiral Nelson was the recipient oC

“But if he had been Nelson would
have been rejected as physically un
fit," says a writer. “Nelson was
shayeled into the navy under a bit of
jobbery and pushed on by backdoor

Noted Woman Press Agent,
Mrs. Charles Neave is the laiest
English woman of birth and education
to go into business. She has become a
press agent, and it is said by her
friends that some of the best singers
at Covent Garden. London, are large
ly indebted to her for their success
this season. Mrs. Neave is the daugh
ter of a man of title and the widow of
an army officer.
The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen
er makes half the usual quantity c*
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

AIR LINE ROUTE BETWEEN
sttmpds- f-esms naiwwmcEOw
PROPSLLERi OR "HLLICOPTPRO"
Fact is stranger than fiction. A two
million dollar airship is being built for
travel between New York city and S:.
Louis. Is the present year to see a
realization of practical flight over long
distances? Men with the money bt1
lieve so and have contracted with
Louis Nixon, the ship builder, for a
monster craft which is intended to
sail on the air. not on the water.
This original air liner will sail, ac
cording to present plans, between New
York and St. Louis. Because of th?
frequency of travel between the two
cities it is probable that the route will
run by Chicago. By the air route th?
time between the two largest cities of
the country will be reduced to much
less than the present brief time of th?
limited trains of the two most promir
ent railway thoroughfares. There will
be a saving of time because the rout?
will be more direct, all the meandei
ings necessitated by rivers, lakes and
mountains being eliminated in the un
trammeled air.
In addition to this it is predicted
that the speed of the airship will b?
much greater, ordinarily, than has yet
been attained by steam or electric en
gines.
Railway officials claim that a 14
hour run between Chicago and New
York is perfectly feasible. Their claim:;
have been substantiated in actual run
ning. Fancy, then, reducing this record
by four or more hou-s! That is the
claim set forth by the inventor and
the capitalist backers and the builde:'
of the leviathan which is going to plow
the air. just as the wonderful, swift
ocean liners push their way through
the water.
This prognostication is not an idle
dream of a novelist. Actual work has
already been started on an airship to
have a carrying capacity of 1,000 pas
sengers, and which, if the experiment
proves successful, will some time dur
ing the early summer be launched with
imposing ceremonies and undertake its
maiden trip from New York to Chica
go and St. Louis.
The material for this air-going ship
is now being forged and collected in
the shipyard of Lewis Nixon, on Stat
en Island, N. Y. It is to cost roundly
$2,000,000, and the capital has been
furnished by a number of wealthy
men who have faith in the future of
aerial travel as a profitable invest
ment.
Among these men. located in various
parts of the United States and else
where, are Oscar B. Bergstrom, a New
York banker; Arthur Lewis of the
Standard Oil Company; James H. Rob
erty, ex-comptroller of the state ol
New York; Walter G. Allison, a Phila
delphia capitalist; H. W. Denison of
the Allis-Chalmers Company; George
755T P£mmro/f /upsprp
A. Taylor, a banker; John Chisman
and Clarence K. Bennett, capitalists,
of New York; T. R. White, a real es
tate owner and builder: George Ken
nedy, a Boston capitalist; Arthur
Scofield of New York; Frank Damron,
president of the Bridgeport Realty and
Trust Company, of Bridgeport, Ala.;
George Howard of Washington. D. C.;
J. H. Underwood, a civil engineer of
Buenos Ayres, and J. Lamair. presi
dent of the Lemair Construction Com
pany.
Thurlow Weed Barnes of New York
is credited with the getting together
of this gaiaxy of moneyed men who
are willing to take a substantial risk
in furtherance of commercializing air
travel. The plans of the new vessel
have been worked out through a num
ber- of experimental years by Edward
J. Pennington. As much as 15 years
ago Pennington attracted a great deal
of attention by his airship inventions.
This new airship that Mr. Nixon has
undertaken to build is the result of
17 years’ study on the part of Mr. Pen
nington. the inventor. He is generous
in acknowledging his indebtedness to
Count Zeppelin, whose exploits with
his dirigible balloons last year were
one of the spectacular developments of
aerial navigation in a wonder-working
year. Pennington believes, however,
that his own idea of discarding silken
bags in favor of what he calls a “buoy
ancy chamber" made of steel will, with
his other improvements, render his
craft immune from the dangers which
are sure to beset the present day
dirigible balloon.
“The great advantage of our ship.”
says Mr. Pennington, “is that we shall
never need to bring her to the ground
to renew her gas. Pure hydrogen gas
as a lifting force will be' used in the
buoyancy chamber, and this gas, prop
erly confined, will last for years with
out deteriorating, or need of renewal.
“That is the real solution of the
whole problem, and once our ship is
1 in the air she will float there, out of
harm's way, until the wear on her ma
chinery renders her Useless.’’
The plans for this wonderful air lin
er contemplate a steel vessel 1,000 feet
long over all. The cigar-shaped buoy
ancy chamber will measure 700 feet
from tip to tip and eight feet at its
greatest diameter.
The principle upon wnich the levia
than of the air is operated is that
upon which all the later dirigibles, in
cluding Count Zeppelin's, are construct
ed. This is the principle of the anni
hilation of gravity.
In other words, the ship is given a
buoyancy just sufficient to counteract
its weight. That is to say. Mr. Pen
nington's airship, with its buoyancy
chamber filled with hydrogen, will, for
all its 1,000 feet of steel, weigh almost
nothing. A child could lift it with one
finger or toss it aloft like a rubber
ball.
The ship will be equiped with 11
•propellers, five on each side and a
larger one. as shown in the picture, in
front. The side propellers revolve on
a horizontal plane when it is desired
to raise or lower the craft, acting, in
th,e parlance of aeronautics, as “heli
copters.”
When, however, the ship has
reached a proper altitude and it is
desired to drive her ahead, the “heli
copters,” which work on swivel joints,
are adjusted to the vertical plane and
propel the ship or. her chosen course.
Or, similarly, they may be reversed to
drive her astern. Two or more or all
of these propellers may be used at any
time. Eight propellers will drive the
ship at an average speed of 30 miles
an hour; 11 propellers will send her
through the air at a 40 mile clip.
It is not necessary to use all the
propellers at the same time when go
ing with the wine, and the big craft
can partly “coast” in these circum
stances, just as at automobile or rail
way locomotive does when descending
a grade.
The buoyancy chamber, as before
stated, is to be constructed of steel,
and will have many compartments to
insure safety in case of puncture.
Fishes in Dry Streams
How ttie Government Saves Hundreds !
of Thousands Each Year.
When brooks, streams, and ponds !
become dry, most fishes die. Some
kinds, however, like eels and catfishes,
are able to survive for considerable
time by burrowing into the wet or
moist bottom, which may be quite dry
at the surface. This is particularly
true of some tropical fishes found in |
regions subject to drought, where it is
a matter of common observation that
a pond depression that has been baked
by the sun's rays for days or weeks,
will, immediately after a heavy rain
fall, afford good fishing. The ability
of certain tropical fishes to endure
drought and to remain out of the water
for a long time in the markets depends
on the possession of an accessory gill
on the unejer side of each gill cover, j
by means of which oxygen may be
taken directly from the atmosphere, i
Failure to notice dead fish after the
drying of brooks or ponds simply
means that birds and four-footed
beasts—often night prowlers—have
been there first. One of the most im
portant lines of work carried on by
the fisheries branch of the govern
ment. says St. Nicholas, is the rescue
of food and game-fishes from the over
flowed lands in the Mississippi valley.
After the floods subside, shallow' pools
are left that are wholly disconnected
with the streams, and in these the
fishes gradually j erish as the drying
of the pools progresses. By sending
men to seine these pools, the govern
ment each year saves and returns to
public water hundreds of thousands
of valuable fishes.
Siberia is dest ned to control the
butter trade of all Europe. The value
of the butter shipped from Omsk
alone amounts to 4B.000.000 rubles
($22,145,000) annually. It is transport
ed in refrigerator cars furnished by
the railway company to large firms
in Denmark and Germany, where it is
repacked in tins, jars and firkins and
distributed throughout Europe.

His Silliken

“I have got to get me a Billiken.”
said Jinx, as he stooped to kiss his
wife good-bv before starting for his
office last Monday morning.
So far as Jinx' remark went- it
landed properly, but as Mrs. Jinx at
the moment of the aiming of the kiss
took a sudden notion »o turn and as
certain if it was possible to see her
self Id the mantel mirror across the
hall, the kiss drew a moist line across
her starboard cheek, dodged beneath
her ear, and exploded innocuously in
her back hair.
“And what in the world is a Billi

ning effort to catch the already un
puckered pucker of Jinx’ lips.
"You don’t mean to say that you

Billiken is a sort of a good luck idol
carved out of ivory or celltloid or
soap or something—I never examined
one closely—and it perches on your

contagious a grin that everyone near
its perch grins in sympathy. It is an
insurance against a fooi woman turn
ing her head just as her husband is
about to kiss her. If a Billiken had

Once in Athens, Greece, whence
come the hero stories and the men
who sell dusty candy on the street
corners, lived George F. Socrates, the
champion heavy-weight philosopher of
Parthenon county. When he came in
to the grocery of the Miltiades Bros,
and reached into the cracker-box, all
the other hands were hastily with
drawn.
One evening when Soc returned
home from his daily toil at the store
and began to pare his stone-bruises on
the front stoop, he said to his wife,

thought nobody was looking the old

tossed it overboard. Just then the
conductor came out and saw it.
“Hi, there, what was that?” says
the conductor.
“Nothing but a squash seed poul

“Great Scott!” yells the conductor.
“A squash seed poultice! Don’t you

The old gent said he hadn’t thought
to post up on Kansas law of late and
couldn’t say positive.
“That’s the law, sir,” said the con;
“but we’ll say nothing this time—

Well, next day I went back over the

MOST DEADLY BACILLUS
At a meeting of physicians in Ber?
lin a practitioner in Chat city said that
all fear of a cholera epidemic in the
German metropolis was groundless,
adding: “But we have much to fear
from another source. A bacillus has
recently been located here which pros
trates those whom it attacks, increas
es with alarming rapidity, enters and
works havoc despite cleanliness and
rational diet, spreads not only by con
tact, but is communicated through the
mail and by public press. No class Is
exempt and no physician has devised
a remedy. I refer to the fear bacillus.
It embitters the lives of those whom it
attacks, for it marks as poison the
things that are most toothsome, it
banishes cigars and beer from the
homes of men to whom smoke and a
drink are essential, and it converts the
ordinary kitchen into a laboratory.

I As Jinx took a backward step back
: ward toward the steps he landed on
the cat. and. in an effort to be as easy
i on pussy’s ribs as possible, got his
feet pied and caromed off the steps
; into the rose-tree which he neatly
! split by striking it smartly in the
! crotch with his chin. Then as his
glasses flew from his nose and he
made a desperate grab for them,
slipped on the dewy grass of the
lawn and pushed his face viciously
into the soft loam of the flower bed.
As he marched into the house to re
make his toilet Mrs. Jinx was tactful
enough to refrain from all remarks.
“1 must get a Billiken or take out
some accident insurance!" gritted he
when once more on his way. "With
a Billiken on my desk this morning
would have been an altogether differ
ent affair.”
As Jinx slipped into his office coat
and approached his chair he stopped
at the sight of an impish little figure
perched by the side of the letter tray.
‘ Mister Dingbustit, where your wife
trades, sent it to you with his com
pliments Saturday after you went
home,” explained the office boy.
“And it has been on my desk since
Saturday?"
“Yes, sir.”
Carefully Jinx lifted the Billiken t>e
tween the thumb and forefinger of his
right hand, tiptoed to the window and
dropped it on a momentum gathering
flight of 14 stories to the sidewalk
below; then turning to retrace his
steps he fell over the wastepaper bas
ket, knocked a hundred-dollar type
writer from its spider-legged desk to
the floor.
As the wreckage was being restored
to order the elevator boy left his cage
long enough to run across the hall and
inform Jinx that a concealed E.ssassin
had hurled a Billiken at his. Jinx’,
partner as he was about to enter the
building, and had hurt him so badly
that he would probably be laid up for
a week.
Jinx looked at the gazelle-eyed
stenographer for a moment, con
sidered the youth and purity of the
office boy, clinched and unclinched his
hands, and said: “Oh. fudge!"
