Study of Activities May Reduce Hazards of Flying. Air Service News. The uninitiated sometimes wonder, when deliberating upon the strange works of nature, why certain birds, animals, insects, etc., were created, and ask what possible benefit mankind derives from them, instead of a benefit they are oftentimes just the reverse. Take the bat, for instance. One can hardly justify the existence of this flying rodent unless perhaps, for its insect-eating proclivities, and yet scientists have ie(cently found it of considerable use In conducting some experiments, as (?i result of which the hazards of flying may be considerably reduced. Experiments are continuallv hpinc jmade with a view to eliminating accidents in airplane flights. Statistics show that a considerable number of airplane accidents were due to collisions in the air, due either to carelessness oj bemuse of the. inability of the pilot to see the other plane which happened to be located at a blind angle. Recently experiments made in England with several bats furnished some very interesting results. Knowing that bats can avoid objects they cannot see, the experimenters blindfold several bats and released them in a room which was crossed with many wires and divided from another room b> a grid containing holes just large enough for the bat to fly through. These nocturnal mammal never touched the wires in their flight and were able to fly through the holes with ease. The experiment revealed the bat's secret. He emits a note, often inaudible to man's ears. This sound bounds back from any barrier, conveying such accurate information to his sensitive ears that he can map out the space in front of him without any uncertainty. Aeronautical experts believe that the airplane may do the same thing. Instruments are being devised which are so sensitive that they will record visibly before the airman's eyes the progressive in crease or such sounds as the ground 01 some object that is approached. It is said that information would be supplied equally in the dark or in| mist, and since sound travels faster than the fastest plane, the warning would come in plenty of time to avert a crash. The fact that important radio experiments are now being conducted in devising'warning signal instruments indicates that some progress along this line is being made. 0 A Heavy Exit. I had had a misunderstanding with my employer, and when 1 handed In tny resignation I fold him In very plain English what I thought of him; he. also, pointing out a few faults he thought I had. A few months later, after answering a blind ad for a position, I received a reply naming a time for an appointment." My name at that time being an exceedingly common one, It was not recognized; neither did I recognize him, as he had moved hla office and changed the firm name. Upon being ushered into the office I met my former employer face to face. We were both speechless, and I did not catch my breath until I had back1 out and was In an elevator going . m.?Chicago Tribune. *ty Minus Cafetarias!

Men who sailed on the Levinthnn when she whs being used as*a transport will learn with Interest the explanation of a "mystery" of the giant liner in those war days, a mystery which has been the subject of many a midnight conference In the lee of the deckhouse: Only recently a former officer of the Leviathan told the story. It appears that several of the crew sought a lower hold fi.r from the haunts of the officers on duty and there, believing themselves carefully concealed, they smoked to their hearts' content. But the ship hud a Are detection system consisting of a series of pipes to the holds, through which a suction fnn Is continually drawing air samples to the wheolhouse. Thus the officer on duty there noticed the curling wisps of smoke coming out of the pipe from one of the lower holds. Sniffing the smoke he detected the old familiar odor of tobacco. It was an easy matter to hurry down and catch the men in the act and start them on n round of extra dirty, which cured them of smoking aboard ship. They were puzzled to know how the officer had traced them. The hold was way down near the keel, far from the wheelhouse and there hud not been another man within many yards of their position. They knew no officer had followed them and they took it for granted that there was no direct connection between the hold | and the wheelhouse. And no one enj lightened them during many trips to France.?New York Evening Post. SERVED IN ORIENTAL STYLE Magnificent Banquet Given by King Hussein of the Hedjaz to Lord Allenby. A hnnnilpt" Hvnn hv K* i n or TTuccAin of the Hedjaz to Lord Allenby, the British high commissioner, as described by an Arab correspondent of the London Times on March 2, was a striking example of oriental magnificence. After preliminary visits and military reviews, in which the Bedouin cavalry dashed by at full speed, firing their rifles, the banquet was held In true A?ab style in the municipality bu" "ngs at Jeddah. On the table, which was eighteen feet broad by thirty feet in length, barefooted waiters dressed in rich Arab costume wnlked about helping the guests, 70 in number, to slices of the Joints of roasted half sheep stuffed with almonds, rice and spices. Each guest had three or four plates, and was surrounded by some 20 or 30 dishes of saluds, fish, roasted chickens, pilaff of mutton and sweets of all descriptions. The king's band of musicians played throughout the ban quet. At the end of the feast the kind's servants handed round silver basins with ewers of scented water for the puesfcj to wash their hands in. Coffee was served In another room while guests Of a lower degree sat down at fV? b&nqneting table.
