On* Possibility of the Development of
Aerial Navigation.
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.

Tho J:wi»h Ministry.
“The Scarcity of Students For the
Jewish Ministry” Is the subject of an
article by Emanuel Schrelber in the
Jewish Outlook. 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.”

Lincoln’s Temperance Pledge.
Abraham Lincoln when offered wine
at a great banquet publicly refused
and stated that he had been fifty years
an abstainer. To the friend who per
suaded him to sign the pledge he sai l
"I owe more to you than to almost any
one else of whom I can think, for if I
had not signed the pledge with you iu
my years of youthful temptation I
might have gone the way that the ma
jority of iny old comrades have gone,
which ends in a drunkard’s life and a
drunkard’s grave.”

A Peasant and His Dog
A German newspaper recently pul)
lished an account of a London dog
show and mentioned the prices at
which some of the prize specimens
were held by their owners. “Lady Hol
land’s little Japanese spaniel,” said the
correspondent, “could not l* purchased
for 200,000 marks, and no one could
put a price on Queen Alexandra’s prize
greyhound. There are, in fact, huu
dreda of animals 011 view any one
which is worth a fortune.” A f<
days after the article was published a
peasant went to the newspaper office
with a large, shaggy mongrel and ask
ed to see the man who wrote about the
dogs. “He is iu England,” the man
was told. “WeR,” be said, “possibly
you can tell me what this animal is
worth. My wife wants roe to keep him.
bwt if dogs are so valuable I am will-
itg to part with Hans.” The publish-
en mnfled and told the man that his
dug was not of the valuable kind.
"Not—cot valuable? Two years ago
when my wife and I were both in the
fields our hired woman left the children
alone, and while she was gone the
bouse took fire. This dog rau In and
carried down the little one and chased
the others out. He saved them all, and
you say he’s not valuable. What has
the 20CMKK) mark dog done?” “Proba-
blv nothing.” was the answer, “but he
is iK?rfectly bred and beautiful.” “Now
I understand.” said the peasant, “great
family and ti. o <-!othes—just like our
nobles. Come. Hans!”

Columbia, S. C.. says: “I thought I
had rheumatism and treated for it on
that belief. I used all kinds of lini
ments. The pain was in my back and
In mj hips clear to the shoulders.
The liniments did no good and I took
to blood medicines but they did not
help me. 1 took a long trip In hopes
that the change of climate might
help me. I was away for three
months but could see no change for
the better. I heard of Doan’s Kidney
Pills and determined to try them, and
got a box at a drug store. They com
pletely removed the pains out of my
bach and I have not felt a touch of
the old trouble since 1 used them.”
