Lieut. Col. J. A. Benzeley gives In Geographical Journal (London) an in teresting example of how photography from an airship can extend our knowl edge. When making nn aerial recon naissance In Mesopotamia over terri tory occupied by the Turks he took a series of photographs near Samnrr which show distinctly the ruins of nn ancient city extending 20 miles along the Tigris river nnd two miles and a half wide, large enough to shelter easily 4.000,000 Inhabitants.

The fall of the airplane within the enemy lines and the capture of Its passengers did not permit Colonel Beazeley to pursue his researches, but since the British occupied the terrltoty an nrcheologlcal expedition, guided by the photographs, has begun to explore the dead city. $100 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure In all lta stages and that la catarrh.
