SAKEK AVIATION
One of the results of the war
which sxems almost sure is 'he:
• -tablishing of the aeroplane o.i
more satisfactory basiv
Hundreds of these heavier
■ ban-air fliers are being used on
noth sides in the conflict and with
.11 unexpected degree ol reliabil
ity. Tiiev axe sent out over '-he
tuemy's positions at all hours of
the day and night and under
weather conditions which would
nave been deeuned prohibitive six
months ago. And much of the at
tention of aviators is necessarily
given to the avoidance of danger
tram shells and bullets. Yet the
l umber of accidents due to oper
ating and defects in the aeroplanes
has been very small Last week
forty aeroplanes left France to
gether. crossed th? German lines
.11 Belgium, attacked seve.-al places
with bombs and returned without
■ he loss cf a machine cr a man.
Considering the long succession
of terrible accidents which before
he war attendel aviation per
;crmauc«i, this seems, marvelous.
The inference Is plain that the long
toll of professional aviatcrs wha
•avc been killed while giving ex
hibitions for public entertainment
or trying to establish new records
i an be charged largely to reck
lessness. It is more than likely
..lso that the aviators engaged in
the giim work of war have suc
ceeded ia making thfir machine»
safer.
The aeroplane, ill the hands of a
> .ireful and competent man, will
probably sot be considered as dan
gerous. hereafter, as it has been.
HOW A GENII S WOUKS
Sarah Bernhardt has had
her right leg cu: off at the
Kii. e. She is seventy years old and
rich. Her fame is secure. She is
known aa the foremost actress of
the world. Her career has been
i0ng and brilliant. If ever a wo
man migit feel entitled tc spend the
rest of h*r years in r;si and repose
Bernhardt could do so.
But this genius of the stage says
that she will get an artificial leg as
»ooii as possible and then she will
set back to work. She explains
•hat she simply cannot bear to be
idle, and so she intends to return
'o the stage after an operation
whic' was very serious, at her ag*,
and prove that she can act, not
withstanding the k«B of a leg.
That is the way a genius works,
it is the secret of the triumphs of
many gifted men and women who
have left their names as part of the
history cf their times. It reveals a
coirr»' which cannot be daunted,
a desire tor high endeavor which
ill not be balked.
There can be great and tireless
industrr without a trace of genius
or unubual pawer of any produc
tive kind, but it is only the genius
•vhich has also a vast capacity for ef
fort a id taking pains that achieves
the highest successes of life.

BRAVERY IN BATTLE.
Kfter the Fighting Has Begun the Offi
cers Give F«w Orders.
An oUlcer In our regular nriny who
jaw fighting In the Spanish war point
ed out the other day thnt most persona
!»ad n very wrong conception of how
loldlers tight in modern buttles.
"After a regiment hus wheeled into
position to attack the foe und the ac
tual fighting has begun." he said, "the
>fficers really have little to do with the
proceedings. There Is so much noise,
for one thing, thai commands cannot
tie heard, and Tor tills reason whistles.
In manv armies, have been substituted
for bugles, because their shrill blast
carries better than the heavier notes
,f the brass. Beyond giving the signal
[or the charge the officers can do little,
l'he tuen. once they see the line of the
enemy in front of them, know what 19
gxpected of them and carry out the!/
work with surprisingly few orders.
"Skirmish drills in times of peace
have taught the troops how to act to
gether. and It is amazing to see how
quickly the men adapt themselves to
the conditions of actual battle. It Is
the corporals and sergeants who nre t»s
the line with tiie men who are the real
steadying influence in n fight They
know the characteristics of the Indi
vidual private in a way that the com
missioned officers can never know thera
and are prepared to give a calming
word to this oi that one when the
Muergem y arises
"In my own experience 1 havs
known a private .who had served three
enlistments to take charge of a com
pany in a charge, and the officers and
uoncoms were very glad to leave it to
biui. After the scrap was over he he
came a private mice more, but while
that row was on. so far as net tun in
Qnence with the men was concerned,
ae was of :i great deal more im|K>rtauce
than his captain. The way that man
could wriggle Into cover was a revela
tlon. and he went through three cam
paigns without a scratch. Ilis example
iu the regiment was a big asset.
"Bravery in battle, according to my
experience, is very much a matter of
temperament Some tneu are carried
along by a soi l of ecstasy, others hold
themselves to the work by sheer force
of will, while others and these are the
best-go through a tight with a sort of

FREMONT AND KIT CARSON.
Pen Pictures of the Pathfinder and tho
Famous Scout.
In "Kit Car»i;:> Days." by Edward
I- Sabiu, we ju-t this glimpse of the
personal appearance of Carson and
[•'remout when the two daring spirits
first Diet:
"In June, 1S42. came tlie fateful
meeting of the trapper scout, already
known throughout the west, and tho
Pathtiuder whose great fame was still
to come.
"The two men were1 opposites. Car
son was Scotch-Irish, gray blue eyed,
sandy complexioned (under bis tan>,
light haired, rather flat featured,
gritty, but so quiet and ordinary both
in appearance and manner that few
cot knowing his uame would bestow
upon him move than a passing glance.
Fremont was French, flashing blue
eyes, olive while complexion, thick
brown hair, features regular and oval,
disposition sensitive, quick, eager and
indomitable Few would forget him
"Fremont was a scholar of both
American and continental accomplish
merits At this jiiue Carson could not
read nor write even his own name,
and his speech even in ISCC was of
patois wherein uilugled .Mexican, In
dian and many a frontier English
*thar." 'font.' 'massacrced. 'pore.' etc.
But he spoke in more languages than
did Fremont himself, not only being
fluent in English, French. Spanish and
several Indian tongues, ail acquired
orally, but also being well conversant
with the sign language of red man
and of trail."
Of this meeting on the Missouri, out
from St. Louis, came comradeship
first aud a friendship that uever ceas
ed. In California and in the Mex.'enn
struggle the stanchness of both men
and their loyalty to the flag were well
tested.
Benjamin Bunk.
At one time In Eugland a Benjamin
Bonk meant a deserter from the army.
Forty—probably fifty—years ago there
was a red nosed comedian, one Teddy
Mosedale. who. dressed up in a bur
lesque uniform of the Tommy of the
day, set the patrons of the old Mogul
(now the New Middlesex and an opera
house) Into (its of laughter with tlie
refrain:
fm Benjamin "runic, I'm Benjamin Bunk
And the battle did alarm me;
I'm Benjamin Bunk, who sot in a funk.
So they kicked me out of the army!
