They are always in a hurry to reach their homes, after many reserve but a narrow margin of their leave for the return trip, they are in a hurry to arrive at thelr posts be- fore it expires. Since the reduction of fast trains on the railroads, as a coal-saving measure, policemen have been stationed on each fast train to prevent soldiers, whe ride free, from traveling on them. Recently on the Rome-Florence express a policeman found a big, healthy-looking soldier who, of course, had no paid ticket. “What are you doing here?” demand- ed the policeman. “I'm going home from the hospital,” answered the soldier, “You don't look as if you had ever geen the inside of one,” the other re- torted.

This is unfortunate, because a bridge means the certain death before long of the two teeth to which it Is anchored. “The general public ought to know this about bridgework. Many people object to a plate, but they would not if they knew they were saving money by it. After the anchor teeth dle, trouble begins; very soon the teeth have to come out, and either a larger bridge or a plate is necessary. If a larger bridge be put in, {t means the death of two more teeth, and uitimate- ly you have to come to the plate.” SRO ficulties the The Essentials of Gardening. The essentials for successful gar. dening on a small or large scale are soll, water and cultivation. Much de pends also on the grower, the season and the crops selected. The soll is the storehouse of plant. food, The garden, therefore, should contain humus or rotted material In large quantities. The gardener should remember that about 060 per cent of ordinary earth is not soil at all, but consists of air and water, Water makes plantfood that is pres ent freely soluble.

TWO PATROLS IN AIR Entente Allies Keep Huge Flotillas of Airplanes Operating at Dif. ferent Levels. To maintain thelr aerial supremacy along the western front, taken as a whole, the entente armies employ huge flotillas of airplanes operating up and down the lines at a height of 6,000 feet for one patrol and 20,000 or 23,000 feet for the other, Lieut, G. L. Faulkner, R., F. C., writes in the Scientific American, It is the duty of the higher patrol to prevent German machines from coming over the lines at great heights and sweeping down on the unsuspecting patrols flying many thousand feet be- low. Indeed, the purpose of the two pa- trols is to co-operate in preventing any German airman from crossing the lines nnd securing photographs and valuable information concerning the disposition of works, artilléry and the move troops. The entente a given front may be move ing up troops; they may be engaged in extensive railroad operations; they may be bullding additional trenches: they may be constructing new gun ems all this they may be ing, yet It is imperative that the enemy be kept from knowing what Is taking place in back the lines so that he where the next attack hed, is the military strat. egy of the modern battle, and the gen- eral staff knows very little reg ng enemy movements without the ald of the flying 20tpS.
