We iu this country have experi­
enced nothing like the floods which
have taken place in otheT countries,
■ays a London correspondent. Per­
haps the most disastrous flood which
has happened in England occurred
in 1912, when East Anglia w si par­
tially submerged. No less than $35,-
000,000 worth o f damages wan dot
to the dintrictn round Norwich, Ips­
wich, Nottingham and Leicester, and
nearly 100,000 people were drive
from their homes.
Prance has had more than its
•hare o f deluges. Most o f us re men
her the fearful Paris floods o f 1910
when the Seine overflowed, canting
over $30,000,000 damage. Again, in
1875, larged tracts of land around
Paris were submerged and damage
to the extent o f $15,000,000 done.
Uncle Sam, too, has suffered very
,badly from floods, the most dime-
trous being the famous Johnstown
floods o f 1889. Heavy reins earned
e sudden rise o f the Susqnehannn
river and its tributaries, with the !• »
suit that numerous prosperous towM
and villages on the western slope o f
the Alleghenies fo r 40 miles around
were completely devastated. Six
thousand persons lost their lives, in­
cluding. 1,500 burned to death at
Johnstown, where the iron furnaces
set fire to the driftwood and build-
ings.
In-March, 1913, an appalling dis­
aster o f flood, Are and storm over-
' whelmed Indiana and Ohio, result­
ing in the death o f 7,000 people,
while 250,000 were rendered home­
less ; $10,000,000 worth of damage
was done in a few hours. Tw o years

Just how high-spirited the allied
aviator ia can only be guesaed from
the stories o f his daily life that come
bark to the civilian world.
Lau ranee La Tourette Driggs,
who has collected the hero talea o f
the air acouts on the western front,
•ays in a recent issue o f the Out­
look : “ I f medals and military
crosses were consistently awarded,
every airman would o f necessity be
almost daily decorated.. Hia oppor­
tunities are always thick upon him.
Embracing death ia easy to the air­
man, compared to the pain o f con­
fessing a shameful act to hia fellows.
That kind o f torture eventually
drives the remorseful pilot to delib­
erate suicide:
•'
“ The story o f one such episode ia
well-known to the older members o f
our corps. One poor frightened lad
who fled in terror and left a fellow
aoout alone to fight hia way clear of
an overwhelming force returned
headlong into the combat a few min­
utes later and hurled his machine
deliberately into the nearest enemy
airplane. Both machines fell to­
gether, their wings broken and both
engines blazing with fierce flames.
By common consent the*,enemy air
'fighters withdrew from the field—
all knowing too well the cause o f this
terrible sacrifice. Impelled b y that
noble chivaky o f the air service they
paid tribute to this desperate act o f
atonement.”
There were scenes o f mingled sad­
ness and exultation in the engine-
rooms of the interned German lin en
when thé" Berlin orders came com­
manding the destruction o f the inter­
nal mechanism, relates the New
York Tribune. T h e engineer loves

Job he felt like en unwilling hang­
man preparing the gallows. En­
gineers end firemen wept es the cyl­
inders crashed, and many a senti­
mental fellow was prompted to n
cord hia love for hia mistress o f
power.
'
W ith chalk they scrawled their
sentiments on the great machines
they were first to maim and then to
leave.*
“ Farewell, sweetheart, till we meet
again,” wrote one engineer.
“ Forgive me, my bonnie, for the
injury I do you,” wrote another.
“ T o break you ia to break my
heart,” scribbled another.
“ M ay the parting be brief, dear
one,” said a fourth.
*
There ia no doubt that many en­
gines would have been wrecked far
worse than they were but for this
love o f the engineers and mechanics
for their fine mechanism. However,
no such sentiment affected the mas­
ters o f the policy o f ruthlessqesa,
with them it was a question o f pare
logic and cold calculation.

’SILENT SALESMAN.
A gentleman went into a barber’s
shop to have his hair cut. Having
sat down in a chair, he glanced at
the looking-glass in front, and saw
reflected therein the attendant, who,
to his Rurprise. was wearing rubber
gloves. This fact caused the gentle­
man to become curioua, so he said to
the barber:
»
“ W hy do you wear rubber'gloves
when cutting hair, my man F”
“ For the purpose,” replied the at­
tendant, "o f keeping our celebrated’
hair-restorer from caueing hair to
grow on my hands.” H e sold a bot­
