eralds with Danzig brandy, and my
sapphires with fresh milk. And you,
Mrs, Blank?” she asked, turning to
he labor leader’s wife.
“Oh, I don’t clean mine.” said the
atter, airily. “When they get dirty I

Zeppelin ZR-3 to Revo
lutionize Travel in Air
Lakehurst, N. J.—Brakes on an air
. ship with live 400 horsepower engines
that v.Hl run forward or reverse with
out reverse gears will bo introduced
into the United States when the new
German built Zeppelin ZR-3 Hies from
iYederickshafen to Lakehurst, a dis
tance of 1,500 nautical miles, this sum
mer.
With powers of braking and revers
ing the motors, naval officials said to
day, the ZR-3 could easily be put to her
mooring mast and slowed down when
runnihg before a strong wind. Captain
Ernest A. Lehmann, who came to the
Unitsd States to arrange for the deliv
ery of the ship, said the ZR-3, the
iinest and most efficient of 120 airships
built by the Zeppelin company, would
revolutionize commercial aviation in
i1' *>: rv„
More than i-i tons of useful load can
be shot through the air at 80 miles an
hour bv the ZR-3, he says, while 10 or
15 tons cargo can be taken on long
distance hauls. Provision has been
made for 30 passengers and baggage.
Aside from passenger, mail or packet
transportation, Lehmann predicted un
limited uses for the ZR-3. For scien
tific research, photography and study
of topography, the Zeppelin type ship,
he says, has no rival, because of its
ability to hover over any selected area
for an extended time. The ship could
rush large medical stores, food and
clothing to isolated regions stricken by
Hood, tire or earthquake, and is re
garded as superior to aeroplanes for
forest patrol work,

Another Delusion Shattered.
It is a painful tkiDg to upset any
man's belief in the remarkable char
acter of what he considers his peculiar
merit, bu-t science arises at this point
to declare that corns ape not responsive
to weather and that anybody whe
i thinks his corns are so gifted is fooling
I himself.
j it appears from investigations re
I vealed at the meeting of the American
Chemical Society that there are vari
ous kinds of leather some of which
gather moisture, like the salt which
grows alternately wet and caked, while
other kinds do not. Now if an oldest
inhabitant who thinks he has meteoro
logical corns, wears tanned leather
shoes, they will shrink or expand as
the weather turns dry or wet. Some
times they will pinch the corns and
make them ache: sometimes they will
not. Therein, say the chemists, lies
the whole secret, and the man who is
proud of his corns is all out of line. It
is what he buys at the store and wears
on his feet that does the business.—Ex.
