Oh, I clamber up high to the vault of
the sky,
Far above all the muck of the trenches;
Far above the quick Ire of the maxim
gunfire,
Far above all the reek and th%
stenches.
There's a puff from below in the lines
of the foe.
Where a gunner is seeking to harm me,
Jtut I drop and I rise from his bombs in
the skies
And I still am the eye of the army!
For it's my job to learn every sally and
turi:
Of the enemy right when they make it.
I'm a sentry whose care is a post high
in air.
And it isn't for me to forsake it.
Ho I duck and I dip and I dodge and I
skip
From the aeroplane shells that would
mar me.
While the gunner with zest does his Sun
day school best
To put out the eye of the army.
Now. there isn't much chance for the an
cient romance
In these days of mecha-nlcal slaughter.
When we shed human blood in a horrible
flood
On the face of the land and the water,
Put I am not bound by the soldiers' dull
round,
Tor in war's mighty drama they star me,
And it's still a great game full of glory
and fame—
To the venturesome eye of the army!

LURiNG WILD GEESE.
J
Live Decoys Are Often Used and Mads
to Play the Traitor.
American wild geese each spring mi
grate from waters of the southern
! states to the shores of the Arctic in
northern Canada. The two great com
moil varieties of the bird are the honk
ers and the wavy, or white, goose.
Both of these are extensively hunt
ed. Covering, as they do. about 5.000
miles oil their annual migration, these
s birds rest at various places eu route
! and are thus shot by sportsmen almost
across the length of the continent. The
birds have a peculiar trait of always
leaving one of their number on look
out while the rest feed.
To aid in the shooting wild geese
live wild ones, captured young and
raised in captivity, are often placed in
feeding grounds in likely territory on
: the line of flight of the migrating
flocks. These decoys are ternote trai
tors and by their calling often bring
! the flying ones within shooting dis
s tance of the sportsmen, who lie in hid
den pits near at hand.
Painted decoys, shaped like geese and
made of steel, are also used by the
j hunters. In the latter ease the men,
from their hiding place in the pits, cal!
i the birds by using a goose call, a metal
instrument like a flute, which mimics
; the sound of the goose with remarks
ble realism.—Philadelphia North Amer
ican.

SWING OF THE WIND.
On the Atlantic Coast, as a Rule, It Is
From Left to Right.
Thirty-five years ago, while making
a four months' voyage, I was ire
j quently impressed bv the unerring ac
curacy with which Captain Crosby.
! one of the best known captains sail
ing from New York, forecast the state
of the weather. In reply to my ques
tion be answered: "Doctor, as a result
of fifty years of seagoing life. I can
I assure you that almost invariably, I
might say without exception, the wind
i in its shifting follows the course of
the hands of a clock— that is, from left
to right
"Of course." he added, "one cannot
say how long the wind will remain in
any one quarter, but when it changes
It will, almost without exception, take
the course I have stated. For instance,
if the wind is in the northeast, in
stead of going to the north and then
to the northwest, it will on the con
; trary go over to the east, southeast.
I south, southwest, west, and finally
reach the northwest."
When 1 asked him why rbat should
be, he said he had never been able to
obtain an answer to that, but that it
was au absolute rule as far as the ex
perience of his life went.
One other observation I have made
! Through all these years, although it i
■ not by any means as exact as the fh ji
| is that the winds have a fairly accurate
length of time in which thev remain in
their various quarters. For instance,
northeast and east winds are generally
two or three days in duration, grad
ually shifting to southeast and south
then after a day's interval, or less,
reaching west and northwest. These
! remarks apply only to the Aflanfh
j coast and contiguous state : and n\ t
! inapplicable to the Pacific, where the
conditions, in some respects even more
j remarkable, arc entirely different.—Dr.
Frank Abbott In New York Times.
Wills In Ancient Greece.
Wills were introduced Into Athens
by Solon, though in many other parts
of Greece they were discountenanced
Diogenes Laertkis gives copies of the
wills of several celebrated men. sncb
as Plato. Aristotle and others. Before
Solon's law no man was. allowed to
make a will, the wealth of the de
ceased belonging in certain proportion
to the members of his family and even
after Solon only au Athenian citizen
had the privilege of bequest, the es
tates of both slaves and foreigners be
ing confiscated for the use of the put)
lie.

A CRUSH OF WORLDS.
How Our Solar System May C-! and
a New One Be Bern.
The whole of the present solar sys
(em is ultimately to fall into the sun,
causing an explosion that may resail!
in a new solar system. Such is the
theory put forward by Professor Philip
! Fauth, a well known astronomer.
; whose reputation has rested principally
j upon his researches into the conditions
i on the moon.
' The novel feature of Dr. Eauth's the
I ory is that it is based upon the suppo
! sition that a great part of the known
. solar system, including especially the
' planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn, are
: not composed of mineral matter at all,
but are tremendous masses of ice or
balls of ice surrounding a mineral ker
nel. Furthermore, he declares, a part,
of what is now known as the Milky
way is not mineral or gaseous, but "a
ring of ice dust," masses of particles
j of ice suspended in space, the other
planets receiving a constant addition
, to their ice mass from this source.
Professor Fauth declares that the
world already at some remote periods
i has had a similar experience, resulting
in the death of nearly all animate na
ture, and that all species of life as we
know it have arisen since then. Even
tually the planets swinging through
their narrow orbits will fall into the
! sun, causing a new explosion and per
haps the birth of a new solar system,
but for thousands of years before that
time, all life, either on earth or else
where, will have disappeared.—Kansas
City Journal.
ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
Influence of the "Great Circle" on the
Journey to Manila.
If you wanted to go from the Pana
ma canal to Yokohama which of these
two would be the shorter route? hirst,
across the ocean to Hawaii and from
there to Yokohama, or, second, up
along the coast to San Francisco and
then directly across the Pacific to Asia ?
Nearly everybody would answer in
favor of the Hawaiian route. But the
uavigators tell us the journey is 2G6
miles shorter byway of San Francisco.
; The "great circle" does it Its influ
! ence on distance sends ships from San
Francisco to Manila byway of the
i Aleutian islands. Actually our vessels
would go much farther north than they
| do but for the discouragement of the
I United States hydrographic bureau at
i Washington, which advises a central
route, more than 200 miles longer than
! the great circle, in order to escape the
! fogs and ice of the far north.
The Hawaiian Islands are frequently
described as "the crossroads of the Pa
cific." Their people are naturally look
ing forward to wonderful commercial
: development. They will doubtless en-
I joy substantial progress as a cominer
i rial center because many conditions in
i ocean currents and in prevailing winds
i and in fuel costs favor liouolulu as a
way station route. Rut it is well to re
member that these islands were plant
ed a little too near the equator to be a
I crossroads of the north Pacific.—P.os
ton Herald.

j Greek ar: if France and Great Brit
ain wouM send 150.000 men to the
Near East. An "express understand
ing" exited to this efl'ect, he said,
before Mr. Ycnizelos went out of of
fic.
The premier paid a warm tribute
to the Brhi.h navy for its great
achievement in sweeping German com
merce and German warships from the
•mlas and in Convoying two aivd one
half millions of troops whom Great
i Britain had transported by water.
The British public was warned by
| the head of the cabinet that the na
tion's financial situation was. serious,
j and that far greater sacrifices mu '
be made to support the government
| in its task ,of suppl: ipg the r.nnh t
with their needs so that triumph
! might be won.
The offieA! statement was made !'
Mr. Asqui 'i that n fub agreement ex
ists between Great Britain and France
for the maintenance of To independ
ence of Servla and not to let her he
come "tin prey of the sinister and
nefarious combination of Austria,
Germany and Bulgaria."
Concerning Greece, the premier said
that on Sept. 21 Ir.st Mr. Venizelos.
then prime minister of Greece, asked
Great Britain and France to send
150,000 men to the Near East, with
the express understanding that Greece
would mobilize.
The premier expressed the strong
belief that the recruiting program of
the Earl of Derby would succeed and
that compulsion would not be neces
sary.
Mr. Asquith declared he had sane
tioned the firs, naval attack at the
Dardanelles. He said that this
project, which is referred to as having
proved a failure, had been entered
into in spite of the mi. giving.- of the
cabinet's chief naval adviser.
Mr. Asquith told the home th"'
Field Marshal Sir John French now
has almost a million men under his
command ir. France ard Flanders.
The British casualties in those regions
he placed at 377,00J officers and men
killed, wounded or missing.
The prime minister made the for
mal statement that the Germans had
not gained one foot of ground prev
iously held by the British since Apr;!.
Reviewing the work of British sub
marine* in the Turkish campaign Mr
Asquith said thai in the sea of Mar
mora they had sunk or damaged twt
battleships, five gunboats, one torpeaf
boat, eight transports and 197 suppi;
ships.
There were few absentees from tk*.
house of commons when the premier
began his address which was expeel
ed to be the most important govern
nient announcement of the world wat
since it began in August, 1914.
Mr. Asquith prefaced his remark;
concerning the war by saying that his
statement had been delayed by cir
cr ir tances over which he had no con
trol bti that the delay had the ad
vantage of enabling him to receiv-*
warnings and counsels 'om every
quarter.
"ft is true that today some part ■
of the horizon are over.;? t. This,
like other wars, has been frulu'ul or
-urprises and disappointments. Th >
moment calls for fnree A
proper sense of perspective, a limi'-
less stock of patience ard nn ever
flowing re ervoir of coir age, both
active and passive."
Mr. Asquith rcferrt-d to the "sma"
coterie of professional '.v' -.. nerer
which kept our enemies supplied dab
with a diH of falsehoods." The gov
ernment, he said, had no interest i j
concealing anything, subject to th
one overriding consideration that its
disclosures would not assist Great
Britain's enemies.
