Development of aerial navigation Is forcing nil nations to act. Recent tests have demonstrated the practicability of the airship, ami now a new gun must be invented with which to pro tect cllies, forts and ships. “Airships will do more than any oth er agency I can think of to make war unpopular.” said a mem iter of the United States balloon corps recently. “Fortify every inch of the frontiers and coasts with the heaviest artillery, arm and mass the entire population behind them, and you will not l>e aide to repel the enemy who flies high In the air and drops dynamite on your ‘impregnable’ works and multitude of soldiers. Navies, mine strewn chan nels, any number of sixteen inch guns, would l»e useless in protecting any of our coast cities against an air squad ron set loose from ships out at sea. “Not only this, but an airship can put submarine torpedo boats out of commission very quickly. From a bal loon one may see to a considerable depth in the water. Then It would be only necessary to drop a few projec tiles on the submarine, and where would it be? And it would not be able to shoot back.” Hudson Maxim, in ventor of maximite and stabllite, fore sees that immediately one belligerent prepares balloons and airships for at tack the other will have them also. “To counter is the rule in war as well as in boxing,” said he. “Armed with light rapid fire guns, these air ships would meet and fight each other In the sky. Should some escape and succeed in getting above the enemy’s works with dynamite the damage they would inflict would be only local. The area affected disastrously by the ex plosion of 500 pounds of dynamite would Ik? about 500 feet. “If hundreds of airships, carrying tons of dynamite, were to pass our coast defense we would have aerial squadrons to intercept them l>efore they could reach our cities and do any great damage. But, supposing we did not, we have mortars that can fire at an angle of 45 degrees, and the air ships could not be always overhead. At some time they could Ik? shot at, and a fsbrapnel bursting near an airship or a balloon would bring it down. “Whenever we make a new’ engtm of war we make another to destroy it Thus after the torpedo boat came the torpedo boat destroyer. As soon as air ships are used in war there will be air ship destroyers to meet them in their own element. Reliance will not be placed on the guns below on land.”— Ban Francisco Chronicle. y.-K* ts.-is'.-ls >y is ■> > / / / / > * o f * o' FARM AND TIMBER LANDS FOR SALE In Old Virginia.

The w’riter says that, despite the high salaries offered, there Is a dearth of candidates. “In former years there were students at the He brew Union college who were born in this country, sons of old Jewish set tlers of German descent., In other words, the rabbis who were graduated were Indeed what was claimed for them, native Americans. The present personnel of the students In Cinein natl and in New York is composed of Russians. I’olanders, Galacians and Hungarians, as a rule, the sons of poor parents. What American Judaism needs is two dozen students of theolo gy who are sons of very rich men who need not care for salary. Such men would soon make an end of the shame ful bosslsm of, as a rule, arrogant ig noramuses which is the bane and curse of our congregations, large or small.” SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD MmA und I waltkj, Ik* skin will be eoft, 1 i, Wt wfeau eouie acMBnaaor takes root la tbs h ““ Vi isle the Meed, aeavaliy el tkebod Lincoln’s Temperance Pledge.
