The »ar department is keeping very tnuas on the subject. It is not regard ed as desirable that any official pub tv be sought, especially as agents of the belligerent European powers are ever ready to grab up any new de vice which seems to promise use in warfare. It was well known in Washington, however that the army officers of the coouEuasioa wh.ch visited Gloucester were enth-f:as?.c when they returned ere. They saw Mr. Hammond put h.* famous wireless boat, the Natalia, -trough its puces without a single fail ure to respond to radio control, fitting ia his laboratory on shore. inventor put the Natalia or her urse and he’d her there until he » 'bed to t urn. when she took the pre cise ancle be desired. - !♦ demonstrated that he could con- ; -ml the Natalia for the ordinary range f rtdes. which is about eight mie? «n the ocean surface. Indeed, the Bis usee of control is limited only by the j :</««■ of the high radio station. He a**d a five-kilowatt station. A hie bar >skip < antes a station of from thirty to fifty kilowatts. Gen. E M Weaver, chief of the oust artillery torps. said in regard To the Hammond invention: "If such a means of attack were added to those we now nave we would Tl.ec be able to attack an enemy's skip* by mortar fire falling vertically on the deck* o' the ships, by gunfire aga.ns! the side, turret and barbette armor and by mines and radio-eon trolled torpedo below water." To test the possibility of lmerfer :r with the wireless control of the Natalia the Dolphin. which has the best radio-transmitting apparatus in the 1'sited States nary, was sent to Gloucester, and by breaking in with her powerful waves attempted to cen tralise or disarrange the message? from the shore The experiments con ".sued many hours. Throughout ail this time the little Natalia darted about under perfect control, while the Dolphin operator tried in vain to fath The secret and send out ether « ra'.ons which would confuse her Not nti! the Dolphin was only 230 f*-ei distant from the Natalia could the rhore centred be affected. That would be too dose for its battleship victim to stop a torpedo. It is suggested that the final form the radio-directed torpedo may take w :!1 be that of a submarine running a fe* feet below tbe surface or a hy droplane traveling at immense speed on the surface of the water. Mr Hammond’s second important device is the thermite shell, which be says was banded over to tbe Germans by a traitorous German employee of bis and is now being used in the war in Europe. As Hammond's projectile flies Through the air the composites of ther mit* oxide of Iron and finely divided a a minus* are brought together inside st asfl uaite. with the production of a Temperature of 5,400 degrees Fahren heit. the greatest artificial heat known except the electric arc. In another compartment of the shell, a second chemical reaction pro duces deadly hydrocyanic gas, or prus sic acid. When the projectile penetrates a battleship or a fort, a small bursting charge cracks the shell. The prussic acid gas prevents approach. The ther mit produces a white hot mass of tne'al which, showered about the spot, will instantly set fire to anything in flammable. or eat through a battle ship's decks and right down into the ocean. A third invention of Mr. Hammond is his curious electrical dog. which will follow anybody who has a lantern about the Hammond lawn at Glouces ter in the darkness. The interior of the dog consists of a battery, relays and a motor. On e.'fcer side is a selenium disk, which is so affected by the light that it pursues a visitor until he puts out his lantern. Oared Them to Snoot Him. In 1S64 Colonel Daniels of the Sev er th Rhode Island became unpopular with some of his command, and a rumor spread that he would he shot at the next engagement. He heard of it. It v.as customary when guns had been loaded fur some time to bare them discharged into some convenient bank, and Colonel Daniels took advantage of this Marching his regiment out with loaded rifles, he faced them toward a suitable elevation, and. taking postion on the top of it and in front al Them as at dress parade, he gave the com mands "Ready!” "Aim!" "Fire!" and the pieces were discharged Xei-dless to say. any man could have shot Inir. with little danger of dis covery and needless to say also, none of them did. There were no more •hreats of that kind in his regiment.— • Recollections of a Varied Career." Origin of War Terms. With the exception of shrapnel, named after its inventor, an English colonel, there are very few war terms now in use which have a British origin. 'Grenadier'' is generally sup posed to come from the French. The word is. however, of German birth, and originally was "grenatier," the force owing their name to the hand grenades with which they were armed. The word "musket" has an Italian de rivation— moschetto." which was re ally a siiecies of small sparrow-hawk. !:. ancient times and in the middle ages the name musket was used to designate a small mortar which threw arrows. When gunpowder was invent ed a small cannon was baptized “musket.” and later the rifle of the ordinary infantryman earned the name, while the whole unit was called ■‘musketeers."

There are enough Indians left on the reservations to keep up the full-blood line for 100 years, but tuberculosis and the change of environment have done their work, until now there are comparatively few full-bloods left on any of the reser vations. ■ is this n; is able to point his rifie j liiBtMt as one would the nozzle of a hose, far npo* firing, his bullet will ; strike the point indicated by the char I ten Jest enough light is diffused outside at the plane of the “T~ shaft, says Popular Mechanics, to illuminate , dimly s small field and shorn the out line al as animal The custom among »omea of our town ia to take two handkerchiefs to a fnneraL Bn Mrs. Tug Watts never t»ka« fewer then four.

Easily Handled and Should Be Worked Soon as Possible After Each Rain. There exists a prevailing opinion in the minds of those who have used the King road drag that the persistent ase of this simple drag will do the ordinary earth roads more good for the amount of time and labor required than any other method of working ever proposed. Some of the best earth roads have been made good by the use of this simple implement. In fact, some advocates of the drag claim that the trustees of-many townships could well afford to sell the heavy road machines to a junk man and in vest the proceeds in a number of split Perspective View cf Splitlog Drag. log drags. Spasmodic use of the split log or similar drag or the like use of any road-working implement will not make bad roads good. The drag is light and easily handled and should be used as soon after each rain as the condition cf the surface will permit. The job was quickly finished and the results are surprising where the drag ging is carried on throughout the year. Possibly the most marked improve ment from the use of the road drag will result from the early spring drag ging. BUILDING MORE GOOD ROADS America New Has 6.000 Miles Mare of Improved Highways Than France— Total Now 31X100 Miles. According to the Good Roads Teat Book of the American Highways assc ciaticn. recently issued. America now has 6.O00 miles more of good roads than Prance, the total for this country now amounting to 31.0M miles. Of this 5.O0O miles were built in ISIS and about 6.000 in 1914. making a total of over one-tbird of the entire mileage of the good reads cf the country. Xew Jersey was the pioneer state tc provide state aid for public highways in 1891. and Massachusetts and Con necticut soon folk wed. but it is only during the last ten years that the state aid policy has been in effect to any considerable extent. PHASES OF ROAD PROBLEM { _ Those Interested in Work Will Find Joint Congressional Committee Report Quite Handy. Persons interested in the good roads problem, either from the engineering or the legislative standpoint, will find tb report of the joint congressional committee on federal aid to good roads a convenient source of information. It not only contains the most extensive data ever published on this subject but contains a bibliography which gives a list of books pamphlets and speeches on fn phases of the good roads problem The report is printed *s house document 1510. Sixty-third congress, third session, and copies may be secured by application to members of congress. Do Road Work Early. For good roads the work should be done in the spring and early summer, if possible Roads worked in the late fall don't get time to settle before win ter. consequently are rough and un even all winter. Do the road work early. For Best Result*. The fruit and vegetable garden re quire richest soils and best culture. Of all farm work it pays best for work done, and suffers most from neglect. Grafting Tomatoes. A. Michigan gardener has been graft ing tomatoes on egg plants and red peppers. He began this experiment is 189S. and his first achievement was called the Kaiser.

In one of the southern states the ; negroes are great patrons of a matri-1 monial agency. One darkey, anxious to find a wife for his son. went to this agent, who handed him his list of lady clients. Running through this the man came upon his own wife's name, entered as desirous of obtain ing a husband between the ages of twenty-eight and thirty. Forgetting about his son, the darky hurried home to announce his discov ery to his wife. She was not at all disturbed. ''Yes.’’ she said. “I done give him my name.

It also is the safest Longing*. A well-known essayist and connois seur of New York attended recently an artistic tea in Washington square. Near-artists of all sorts—near-poets, near-sculptors, near-painters and near novelists—attended the tea. The ladies wore djibbahs of green burlap. The gentlemen wore sandals. The collation was vegetarian, of course.
