.Illuminated Captive Balloons Used In
Germany to Guide Aeronauts
^ byfltlbt ' - ' '
The prOgress of 'Bircrsift5 in Ger-
many is well indicated by the fact
that illuminated captive balloons
are now being used for the purpose
of guiding aeronauts by night. Qne
{of these has lately been placed at
{TreploW, between Berlin and Stefc*
tin. The balloon, which is 2Y2 me-
ters (about eight feet) in diameter,
j is of a red color, and carries an elec-
i trie light. ,,. -
| It is visible for a great distance
! at night, end is easily distinguished
| from any other light. In case of
j fog, when the light could not be
I seen, an electric bell is caused to
j ring by means of a hygrometer at-
tached, In this way it is possible
! for a person in charge to ascertain.
| the height of the fog zone and cause
| the balloon to ascend into a tees
moist and clearer atmosphere, when
the bell will cease^ringing.

most precious gift.
| Of all the gifts that have been be-
' stowed upon mortals it is probable
that that of laughter is one of the
! most precious; and vet we do not
| know why we laugh, though one
j clever man recently took it upon
j himself Jo tell us the r^isop. He
•*|^v asserts, for instance, that we laugh
"when some one falls down in the
street," and argues that we are
amused at the unfortunate individ-
ual's "mechanical elasticity."
As a matter of fact civilized per-
sons-do not laugh when they witness
an accident; rather do they rush
forward to see if they can help. We
may, if we are fortunate enough to
have retained some of the child in
us, laugh to tears when the police-
man in a play tiips over the clown,
^because we know it is make-believe;
but we , are humane enough nowa-
days'not to see anything*-risib^1 in
a fall Which may result in a broken
leg or a dislocated shoulder.
The causes of laughter are one of
the tests of a high civilization.
ore deposits due to erosion.
' A new theory cover ingthe forma--
\ tion of deposits of gold supposes
; that certain regions under similar
! geological conditions owe their en-
i dowment to the greater or less ac-
tivity of the erosions which have
i reached the deeper strata of the ter-
restrial crust. Similarities in type
of deposits of metal are found in
; regions where geological condition^
| are the same. It i& not by chance
i that certain regions are exception-
ally rich in geld "leads" while^in
j offer regions no "leads" can be
found.—Harper's Weekly* ......
perhaps this explains it.

Gainesville: A number of the
business men of this city are
planning to build a tram-way
across Red River, which will be
constructed on the principal of
the Cash .Carrier System. By
this means they will eliminate
the ferry nuisance and uncertain
river, as well as the cost of con-
struction of a bridge which
would cost about $200,000. A
number of engineers have visited
the site of the proposed tram-
way and have declared the pro-
position to be practical.
John Klirig, one of Crosbyton's
best farmers, has decided, that
ha#will feed his feed -crop this
year, so he has purchased 100
head of fine calves and has be-
gun the feeding. He has also
selected several head of fine hogs
to run with his cattle, and John
will prove or disprove what the
Review has often said that the
farmer who feeds his crop is the
winner instead of selling it at
give-away prices. Maize is now
selling at $10 a ton and it is
worth $25 via the hog route.
