When it is known that there are near ly one thousand voters in Camden, this will necessitate quite a lot of work on the. part of the enrollment committee if the voters put it oil' until the last day.

The world's greatest white way, X8."> miles of unbroken light from Chicago to Cheyenne, Wyoming, goes into op eration with the inauguration of the ocean to ocean day and night aerial between New York and San Francisco. Three kinds of light mark this route Hashes set every three miles, landing at thirty-four regular landing fields and live "midnight suns" mounting on 50 foot towers searchlights of half a billion candlepower each, at Chicago, lowu . City, Omaha,. North Platte, Nebraska, and Cheyenne. The flashes operate about as rapidly as the human eye could be made to wink but with the effect of a small flash of lightning. On clear nights ip the five land-light houses searchlights are visible for 1 ."50 miles and 100 miles make a roadway in the air two miles wide. The night flying planes have special devices 'to guide the pilots eyes from the effects of glare on clear nights, including treatment of the propellers to reduce their reflec tion of light. The planes the.mselves - ? 20 of them in regular service ? carry Kl, 000, 000 eandle power light*. Bermuda Described as Paradise. When one is planning a trip to IV-rmuda, about the first thing one hoars is the icmark generally at tributed to Mark Twain, that the voyage t Bermuda is like going through hell t > gi t to heaven. That [depends on the weatlyr on the At lantic. Whatever exception the At - | Jamie mav interpose to the first part I of Mark Twain's epigram, no one j will ever quarrel with his deserip j tion of tin- islands, once they are j safely reached. Tho^e who gath'"* their impres j -ions of I he 'general appearance of ! Bermuda from colored-picture post | card- are grossly deceived, because i there are on:v two colors in the I islands, green and white, says a Ber muda letter to the Brooklyn Eagle. The artist who colors the post cards represents the buildings a pink, red and orange, and a roof here of red, a blue one there and a yellow i n an | other place, whereas every building j on the islands, with one or two ex ! eeptions, is not only white, hut white I washed, from the foundation wall- to ' the ridge poles on the roof. The first \ iew one gets of the ' islands, when the steamer stops at 1 St. David's Head to take on the pilot, j is a rolling ma-* of dark green, eov | eretl with a -tunted growth of t,-ee.?, studded with numerous white build* ' ! ing-, all rising from a sea of azure, I such a* is alwavs found when there I . 1 is coral underneath.
