Man He Killed.

A true incident that reveals the re-
spect shown by allied aviators for the
memory of a daring enemy flier is told
in "Tam o’ the Scoots,” by Edgar Wnl-
lace, writing in Everybody’s. Tam, an
Intrepid Scotchman, was told that the
man he had brought down the day be
fore was a well-known German aviator
named Von Zeldlltz, and on behalf of
the Royal Flying corps, Tam was se
lected to take h wreath to the funeral.
"The wreath in n tin box, firmly
corded and attached to a little para
chute. wns placed In the ftisllnge of a
small Morane—his own machine being

Tam climbed Into the seat, In five
minutes he was pushing up at the

Tam never employed a lesser one.
"Evidently the enemy scout realized

“Tam began to plane down. He
spotted the hlg white-speckled ceme
tery and saw a little procession mak

down tn a thousand feet and dropped

sail earthward and then someone on
the ground waved a white handker

“‘Guld,’ said Tam."
There Is not a city In this country,
perhaps none tn the world, that Is
growing nt n more rapid rate than Nor
folk.” remarked G. IV. Sizer, manager
of one of the leading hotels of that
city, at the Raleigh, the Washington
Post states. "The last census gave
the population of Norfolk a» less than
70.900. Today It is estimated that Nor
folk is a city of 140.000, or more than
double the size it was in 1910. Wash
ington prides Itself on the tremendous
growth attained in the last tw" or
three years. I take considerable pride
in the growth of Washington, for I
lived here ninny years, but the pro-
isirtlonate increase In the population
of the national capital cannot compare
with that of Norfolk. (If course, both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, I presume, Is tlie busiest
city in the world, but Norfolk Is al
most next.
"Hampton Roads Is filled with ships.
Battleships are passing in and out
every hour, and soldiers and sailors
are filling the streets, hotels and resi
dences of Norfolk. Only recently I
saw some 2,000 soldiers from New Zea
land parading through the streets of
Norfolk.
Many of them were not
young. New Zealand already lias sent
close to 150.000 men to the front In
France, and Belgium, out of a popu
lation of 1.500,000, mid is still sending
men, which should be an object les
son to us.
“Business Is booming In Norfolk ns
never before. The hotels are filled to
overflowing just ns they nre in Wash
ington, New business blocks nre go
ing up and the residence sections of
the city are being extended far into
the outlying districts. I venture to say
that in another decade Norfolk will
come close to being the leading city in
the Gid Dominion, both in population
and Importance.”
The largest single Item tn the labor
of fabricating a steel ship Is in the
riveting of her hull; therefore the
driving of rivets Is taken as u standard
of size and of progress by most of the
shipbuilders. To build a 10.000 ton
ship a week means the driving of
about 650.000 rivets in that time. The
Union shipyards of Sun Francisco, ns
at present equipped and freed from la
bor troubles, can drive about 300,000
rivets, although lu a record week it
drove 411.000 rivets; the four next
largest yards in America—at Fore Riv
er, Mass., at Newport News. Va.. at
Canulen. and at Philadelphia upon the
Delaware—can drive 200,000 to 275.000
rivets a week each. A half dozen
smaller steel shipyards will drive from
50.000 to 150,000 each seven days.
Riveting, despite ail the inventions
devised to speed it up, remains hand
work anil slow work. A riveting gang
consists of two men mid two boys—
the riveter, his "holder-on," the passer
boy and the heater boy. The gang
drives from 800 to 375 rivets In the
course of a ten-hour day and la tired
at the end of It. But when you know
that It takes four men nil of a working
day to drive an average of a little less
than 350 rivets, you can begin to see
the full size of the labor problem of
driving nt least 060,000 rivets a week
necessary to turn out a 10,000-ton
ship at the end of that length of time.
In other words, you need 1.200 men for
the riveting gangs alone.
Look at the matter from another an
gle. writes Edward Hungerford In Har
per’s, Ten ships a week—the tremen-
dons program for 1918 to which we
stand committed—means 6.500.000 riv-
ets a week. And the rivet rapacity of
our five greatest yards—with a total
working force of 50.000 men at th** end
of 1917—was but 1.350.000 rivets a
week. And riveting represents o.ily
about 20 per cent in the construction
of a »hip.

Among a batch of recruits sent up
from the recruitin,-, office was a tall?

whose habitat stuck out ail over him.
He took to the training nil right
enough until the company went to the
target range for rifle practice.

The sergeant In charge of the prac
tice showed the recruits the regulation
position for firing—left elbow resting
against the side and all that. But to
his disappointment the Tennesseenn
could not hit the target at a range of
100 yards. Finally In disgust the ser
geant blurted out:
“Say, Jim, I thought you told me
you used to go out in the mornings
and shoot the head off a squirrel for
your breakfast, and now you can’t even
hit that target I”
To which came the drawling re '
sponse: "Wai. sergeant, we all do do
that, an’ if you’ll let me shoot the way
I’m used to I enn knock all h—1 outen
that target."
The amused sergeant agreed and the
recruit proceeded to spread his legs
wide apart, extended hfs left arm to
its full length—grasping the rifle near
the muzzle—and put ten shots through
the center of the bull’s eye.
".Um’s performance with the rifle
was spectacular." added the narrator,
“and put an abrupt end to the ser-
geant's efforts to teach him how to
shoot. In after years he enrried off

years in succession—won the Buffalo

RAISE MISCHIEF WITH WIRES
Strange foods, such as potato flour,
artificial protein cakes, green bone-dust
preparations, tabloid soups, pudding
powders mid other unusual things, have
come into use during the war anil their
adoption serves to remind us that much
good food material is neglected in or
dinary use. Only a few people eat
snails; most of ua would starve amidst
plenty of locusts; and the thought of
snakes as food would give those who
call themselves civilized the shudders.
But’unusuai food, once braonie fa-
miliar, is often relished. Colonel
Roosevelt got the best work from his
men on his African expedition by
promising them raw steaks from
slaughtered hippopotamuses.
Cap
tain Bartlett, who carried Stefunsson
to the arctic water, found raw polar
bear flesh more appetizing than any
thing he had eaten at home.
Frenchmen eat snails and dog steaks
cost there more than mutton. Some
arctic tribes prefer to have their fish
decomposed before eating them, and
even then perhaps they smell no worse
than Llmburger or Brie cheese. South

Remarkable Effect of Aurora Borealis
on the Telegraph Wires of
the Country.
When the aurora borealis, or “north
ern lights,” pay us a visit there Is
trouble on all the telegraph mid tele
phone lines.
The reason for this
seems to be that the aurora borealis,
which is really an unusual electric
emanation from the sun, sets up ab-
norinal earth currants. The streugtl)
of those currents has been measured
J*?n_PN time« and found to have a poten-
tint varying between aoa
425 volt»
vnit» positive
and 225 volts negative and a resist
ance of about 2.000 ohms.
Donald McNIcol, assistant electrical
engineer of the Postal Telegraph com
pany, who has given much study to
this subject, made an official report in
1892. quoted In the Electrical Experi
menter, in which he described the ef
fects of earth currants on the ten At
lantic cables then In existence. Most
affected was that from Rrast to Mique
lon Island, and the disturbances were
greater at the western than at the
eastern end. so that often St. Pierre
could send messages to Brest but could
not receive any.
Long cables were more affected than
short ones, southerly ones more than
northerly oqes. jnd the abnormal cur-
