MRS. CUSTER, FRIEND OF ARMY WIDOWS.
IN her beautiful homo at Lawrence Park, one of the chlefest of New
York's literary colonics, Mrs. Elizabeth Bacon Custer Is busier
than most women half her age revising her memoirs of her famous
husband, General George A. Custer, for an edition de luxe. Only
her silvery hair betrays the fact that It was in 1803, when she was the
belle of Monroe, Mich., she was wooed and won by the handsome Cap
tain Custer. In her widowhood since the Little Big Horn massacre In
1870 Mrs. Custer has devoted her time to caring for "my widows," as
she calls them, helping in every way those left behind by other army
officers to get pensions, to gain employment, to obtain education for
their little ones and, In fact, sharing their burdens in every way.
AERIAL WAR CRAFT.
Germany Leads the Nations With a
Fleet of Fourteen.
From a return just issued it appears
that there were at the beginning of
1011 forty airships in existence belong
ing to the nations of the world and
Intended for use in warfare.
Germany comes Qrst with fourteen
aerial battleships and cruisers as
against France's twelve. Britain pos
sesses six, and of the- remaining eight
Italy and Austria own two each, while
one apiece is possessed by Russia, Bel
gium, Spain and the United States.
These figures include airships com
pleted ready for delivery, but not yet
handed over, as, for example, the huge
semirigid Morning Tost, England's big
gest dirigible. She holds when fully
inflated 330,000 cubic feet of gas as
against the 215.000 feet contained in
side the envelope of Clement-Bayard
II., England's next largest.
Even these monsters, however, are
quite small by comparison with some
of the latest German aerial Dread
noughts. For example, Zeppelin til.
and Zeppelin IV. have a gas capacity
of 525,000 feet and GG5.000 feet re
spectively. To Germany also belongs
the distinction of owning the biggest
airship in the world, the Schutte, which
is of 0S2.500 feet capacity and is driven
by four motors, each of 123 horsepow
er. The United States has achieved a
record in the other direction by build
ing the smallest aerial cruiser now In
existence. This is the Baldwin, which
has a capacity of 20,000 feet only.
This is 4,000 less than the little Wil
lows, which created such a sensation
last August by appearing unexpectedly
over London, having flowu from Car
diff during the night Pearson's Week-
THEIR BOOTS COME OFF.
A Sumptuous Private Car.
Argentina has provided for its presi
dent. Dr. Jose F. Alcorts, one of the
most elegant and sumptuous private
ears in the western hemisphere. This
car was built in Birmingham, Eng
land. It Is Beventy-elght feet long and
Is mounted on two six-wheeled trucks.
It contains a handsome observation
room, with a bay window effect nt the
end, and Is furnished In mahogany and
equipped with a marble fireplace.
There are three bedrooms and baths
en suit and servants' quarters. The
exterior is of steel, painted a cream
white with gold trimralugs. The en
trances are in the middle of the car,
and the ends are rounded.
Peculiar Effect When Men Fall From a
Great Height.
Stories they tell in the copper min
ing region of northern Michigan cor
roborate what the Literary Digest says
of a singular phenomenon: "The
strange case wo recently noted of a
man who fell 400 feet from a Dover
cliff and had his boots off when picked
up moves W. S. Doollttle of the Ster
ling Salt company, Moscow, N. Y., to
cite instances of similar fulls in which
the feet were also found to bo uncov
ered. He does not accept the conclu
sion that the man who fell must have
retained sufficient consciousness to
pull off his boots. Mr. Doollttle writes
'Some time after the completion of a
shaft 1,200 feet deep, during the net of
putting down n cable to the mine
level, a workman fell from a point
about 700 feet from the' bottom of the
shaft aud landed in the sump, or n
point a few feet below the mine level
" 'When his body was picked up and
brought to the surface It was found
that his boots were off, and these were
later picked up and brought to the
surface also. In talking this matter
over with the engineer In charge he
said that several such cases had been
brought to his notice.
" 'Just why the boots come off the
feet is beyond my comprehension, but
in this case, which came under my per
sonal notice, it was a fact, and my
friend the engineer stated It as usu
ally being the case.' "
Lake Taal's Volcano.
Mount Taal. the volcano In the Phil
lpplnes whose eruptions caused n ti
dal wave that destroyed five towns
nnd carried death to not less than 300
people, rises from the middle of Lake
Taal, a body of water about fifteen
miles In circumference and thirty-four
miles from the city of Manila. Taal's
height is 1,050 feet and Its crater is
7,050 feet In diameter. Its last severe
outbreak was In March, 1000, and I
has overflowed many times, with great
loss of life. The volcano Is the second
in importance in the island of Luzot,
Ntw Supreme Court Room.
Throughout the session of congress
tfao supreme court has been crowded
with nudltors, nnd many hundreds of
members of the bar huve been crowd
ed put. This revives the demand for
plans to erect a new supreme court
building or department of Justice,
where odequate quarters can be pro
Tided for the hearings of great causes
before their final and definite settle
ment. There' Is talk of building a tri
bunal as n companion" structure to the
handsome library of congress. Joe
Mitchell Chappie in National Magazine.
Device to Disarm Submarines.
The French are experimenting v
a new device for protecting waraV.lt'3
against suhmarlucs when the former
are stationary. It consists of group-s
of cylinders, about two Inches In dlam
eter. filled with high explosives aud
moored around the battleship, the cyl
lnders being so connected with each
other that when a submarine comes In
contact with one or more of them It is
entangled by the entire group, whose
simultaneous detonation wrecks the

Asking Too Much,
"Mv dear." said Mr. Clarkson. "I
rlnn't want vmi to think I have nnv de

I manage, but really we must try to live

"Within our Income? Goodness! And
