fruit is not at hand open a can of
poaches, drain it and arrange the
halves of the fruit on lettuce leaves,
sprinkle them with shredded almonds
and a few cherries if they are at hand,
and dress them with mayonnaise. If

While the 3ner varieties ot plums
make beautiful dessert, being rich
and Insclous of flavor, they are not
quite so wholesome uncooked as their

to pickling and preserving, plums can
hold their own every time. The fruit
is found in nearly every part of this
country, and the provident housewife
feels that there is something decidedly

an explosion that entombed more

imprisoned men were rescued, but the
rapidly spreading fire prevented tbe

Eight bodies were recovered and the
workers late Tuesday night were
making every effort to force further
entrance into the two levels affected
by the explosion in an effort to save
any who may be living and to recover
the bodies of the dead before they are
consumed.
The fire was constantly craininor I

ELEITHICAL SHOLHS TO DES1
Levis Nixon Says Currents Flashed Thr
Cancer lrcm Airships?Deslruc
Will Be Forced lo I
New ycrk City. ? Lewis Nixon,
shipbuilder, graduate of the United
States Naval Academy and for several
years one of the chief constructors of
the American navy, flouts the theory
that the airship in any of its forms
will become a formidable war machine.
Instead, Mr. Nlion believes that
the death-dealing terror of the war of
the future will be the electric shock.
This conclusion has been forced
xtpon his judgment by a careful study
of the subject of new war agencies
and by closely watching the manoeuvres
of the Wright aeroplane as it
sailed up the Hudson and circled the
representatives cf the world's greatest
navies.

them by airships by specially prepared
armor. He believes, though,
that sooner or later there will be perfected
a gun or some other piece of
mechanism for hurling a thunderbolt
that will shock to death every man j
aboard a warship, irrespective of Its
protection.
"I am convinced," said Mr. Nixon
to a reporter, "that the thing could
be done now, but the mechanism is
so crude that the thunderbolt, or electric
Impulse, would kill the man who
should release it. as well as the enemy.
It is possible, of course, that
some foreign nation already has perfected
the necessary machine with
which to hurl this deadly bolt. I
hope, however, that it has not been
done. When the principle is mastered
the result will make war so horribly
destructive that the human race,
through the sheer force of nature's
first law ? self-preservation ? will
abolish war.
"The aeroplane is mainly interesting
now on account cf the fact of
what may etow from it. Possibly we
shall see them like swarms of giant
locusts flying over and bevond armies,
to occupy positions and to cut off
communications.
"For purposes of observation they
will be of great use. The helicopter,
Dwing to its smaller dimensions, seems
best adapted to such use3. especially
to he carried on men-of-war.
"Insofar as I can sec, the dirigible,
which will combine much that the
aeroplane is now proving out, is the
sh'p of the future.
