WITHIN MINE FIELD British Seaplane Observer Tells of Day of Terror. i Forced by "Dead" Engine to Descend, He and Hi? Pilot Ward OH Dead ly Floating Machines With Their Bare Hands. A llrltlsh seaplane observer <!?> hctIIwh mi udventure that befell hiin,' during a Might over the Nortli sea. Suddenly, when the plane had traveled through ff?K and huge to a height of 2,.TOO feet above the water, tin* eu glne stopped dead. The observer and hiy pilot were compelled to descend quickly, and when their plane at ruck the water they had no idea where (hey were. Through calculations they final ly decided that they muat be at least GO milch from the shorea of England. What was worse, It waa gradually borne In upon them that they were perilously near, If not actually In, an' extensive inlne field. They could not signal, for their wlre U'hm apparatus waa out of commission. The heat waa terrible aud the aea was dead calm. At leaat a dozen times as1 the day wore on the men heard the. roar of engines, but the aound always receded Into the distance again, and there seemed to be no hope of rescue. Finally the wind rose and ahlfted the hnre a little, and high up In the north west they saw dropping toward them a birdlike machine. Nearer and near er it came, and preaent'y it dropped on the water beside them. It was a British seaplane from their own base. The pilot of the rescue machine steered within 20 yards of them, and his observer heaved overboard a huge vacuum flask. Then, without stopping the engine, they droned along the sur face and tilted Into the air again. When the men turned to the flask they found that it had floated out of reach into the midst of a school of Jellyfish. Then the lohg. hungry, Impatient wait began again. The hours seemed to drag more heavily than before. As the tide went down dark spheroidal objects began to bob up by twos to the surface. Through their glasses the men could see scores more of them in the distance. They were deadly con | tact mines! The nearest pair were ; only half a cable's length away, and I the seaplane was drifting toward them ! on the ebbing tide. During the next four hours the death traps gave the men a terribly : anxious time, for there were hundreds | of them, and It was impossible as the i plane drifted along to avoid them. : once or twice they actually had to ward off the mines with their bare hands to keep thein from knocking against the machine. Shortly after six o'clock in the eve ning the men?burned almost black by the sun. with parched throats and . swollen tongues?lieiiiul-the sound- of a propeller chugging away nt no very great distance. The throbbing grew louder, and at intervals the observer fired three pistol shots. Ill en out of i lie haze plowed a trim little motor launeh. She crept alongside, lowered her dlimhv and took the men off. Then she made fast a line to the seaplane and took it In tow. It was long lifter midnight when the launch reached the Kngli^h shore. ?Wide World Maga zine. Fencing a Continent.

ABILITY ALLOWED TO WASTE I Situation Exist* That Is Not Flatter ing to the Intelligence of the World. For some reasons It Is fortunate that we do not, hs u rule, appreciate how much ability is wanted in this i world, remarks the Boston News and ! Courier. If we did our opinion of man's Intelligence would not be very Mattering, to say the least. On the j other hand, however, it is quite prob able that if we did realize something of the vast amount of ability that i lint's to waste we would do all we rould personally to check this loss. A hirer part of this wastage is account ed for by the fact that therv are a great many persons who unconscious ly and yet most earnestly develop their weakest instead of their strong est faculties?unconsciously because they are entirely ignorant of their real possibilities, earnestly because they are trying to do their best with the limited means at their command. Of course, many of these persons, will- j ing workers though they may be. are not able to tell In what direction their talents lie been use they enter into the serious business of making a liv fiig with untrained minds and try to dig success out of whatever comes to bund first. 'I'hey do not take the time to decide in what direction their natural bent lies, either through lack of opportunity or failure to appre ciate the necessity for doing so: con- J sequently. they are all at sea for a I whUe and work with only a small ! percentage of efficiency.
