member of the Methodist church at

somewhat, and the weather
sometimes severe for one of her
age, her church wa8 seldom open for
services when she was not in her

church and Sunday school will be
sadly missed. We extend to the relatives

BAT AS AID TO AVIATION.
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.

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

WAR "MYSTERY" MADE CLEAR
Men en the Leviathan Now Under*
stand How Their Officers Detected
Them in Smoking.
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

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. The remnants
?f the feast, which were considerable,
were distributed among the inhabitants
of .Teddah and the crews of the
British ships at anchor in the harboi.
