Below the wings he had a momentary ellmDse of the yellow, fish-like bombs rushing downward. He shouted to the pilot, and they turned quickly away from the inferno of shells which were bursting all around them. Scores Direct Hit The observer stood up and watched intently what was going on below. Near the destroyers appeared the white smoke and spray of a bomb. Another followed, and another. Then on one of the destroyers a great red flash appeared and the center of the boat was left clouded In smoke. He had scored one direct hit. He shouted excitcdly to the pilot as one of the destroyers dropped out of line and made swiftly for its mortally wounded consort. The British airplanes returned and reported what had happened.

MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD Real Treasure of Peru Was the Potato, Though Spaniards Did \ Not Realize It. The gold of the Indies was the attraction that led Columbus to sail westward, that carried Cortez to Mexico and Pizarro to Pern. The Incas had large stores of the precious metal, representing, no doubt, the accumulations of many centuries. The capture of such a booty resounded through Europe. Spain became for a time the wealthiest, as well as the most powerful, nation of Europe, and this was ascribed to the gold of Peru. But Peru held another treasure much more valuable for the nations of Europe than the golden booty of Pizarro. Carrying the potato to Europe was an event of much more profound significance in relation to the subsequent history of the world than sending the Inca gold to the coffers of Spain. But nobody understood the value of the potato, and its Peruvian origin was generally forgotten before the plant became well known. Instead of Peruvian potatoes we call them Irish potatoes. The potato was the basis of the ancient Peruvian nation and has attained almost the same importance in other parts of the world within the last 100 years.?National Geographic Magazine.

That the Germans are using a new and improved fnel for airplane engines was the statement of Leon Camen before the Aeronautical society. To gasoline is added one per cent of tolnol and one and one-half per cent of alcohol. The mixture gives a sharper ignition than simple gasoline, and while it exerts some deteriorating effect upon the metal, the short life of the airplane motor at the war front means that the motor is discarded before the deterioration becomes serious. Toluol is a coal tar product and is the base of that powerful explosive, trinitrotoluol. "Bear" Proved Harmless. A white bear had been seen in the Alps near Ofenburg, Switzerland, peasants reported.
