R ‘MoM \tit 2 \Y ee 8 correction of the statement in the editorial on “Fly- ing and Fighting” to the effect that an airship could destroy a battle- ship by dropping bombs on it. As an authority on high explosives Mr, Hudson Maxim's views are entitled to every respect. They surely are at variance with the popular belief as to the destructive effect of dynamite and nitro-gly- cerine, Mr. Maxim says: “One hundred pounds or even five hundred pounds of dynamite exploded against the side of a battleship would have practically no effect whatever. Even were it to be dropped from a Arise machine and exploded on a battleship it would do no serious injury unless it should happen to fall into one of the smokestacks, It might rain ten- pound bombs for a day on a modern battleship without doing any se- rious damage to the vessel and without breaking the siestas and the day dreams of the marines below decks provided the smokestacks were covered over for the occasion,” s ray f, = | As to the use of airships in war, Mr. Maxim writes: “An aerial flect of a hundred aeroplanes, each capable of carry- ing one hundred pounds of dynamite, could visit New York City and discharge their hundred bombs every day for an indefinite period, and the destruction wrought would not begin to equal the continual growth of the city, much less work the city’s destruction.” Mr. Maxim believes the future field of sirships in war is as aerial raiders, As such he says they could work “wide destruction on ‘ unprotected inland cities and towns, destroying railroads, blowing up | bridges, arsenals, public stores, powder magazines and powder mills, and in levying ransom on moneyed institutions and in the harase- ment of the unfortunate population. Such is the true work of high| explosives in aerial warfare.” As for the Black Hand bombs, their danger comes from the fact that they “gener- ally have a metal- lic casing and are charged with frag- .

As dynamite is moro powerful than gunpowder it might seem that the same inventive brains of to-day which have devised the air- 1S ship are capable of devising an explosive which, dropped from an air- | ship, will cause the destruction which Mr. Maxim denies to dynamite. But with this last paragraph Mr. Maxim also takes issue, He says that “no matter how high an explosive is invented, the law which governs the action of exploding bodies must still remain the same and limit the destructive powers of the explosive. It would still bo neces- sary for it to be confined to do very great havoc.” Letters Fr e New Jersey and Mosquitoes.

Behold, he BUYETH his wives, for he regardeth a woman as a thing of great price, and he doth NOT expect to find all the uses and beauties of a harem in ONE wife which he getteth for NOTHING—even for the ASKING. Nay, | he is not a CHEAP man. Then, I say unto thee, a half-interest, even a third-interest in a husband is more to be desired than full ownership. For is tt not easier to please | ANY man part of the time than ALL of the time? And what woman can cater unto alla man's wants and fulfill ALL of his requirements? Lo, ina HAREM each wife is a SPECIALIST, and a cook is not required to be a soul companion; neither is a society queen called upon to polish floors while she keepeth her nails manicured, nor to keep down the kitchen bills while she keepeth up her husband's social position, but a HOURI is allowed to specialize upon love and kisses. | Verily, verily, no HEATHEN WIFE is expected to mix batter-cakes with her right hand while she curleth her front hair with her left hand and | rocketh the cradle with her foot and quoteth Browning with her lips, neither to look like a stage dairymaid while she leaneth over the washtub. But a CIVILIZED man wanteth the WHOLE THING in ONE package, A Turk would not buy a dishpan to hang in the parlor, nor a silk pillow to chop meat upon, but a civilized man yearneth for a VENUS which can be used as a stocking darner, Behold, the Turk payeth a TAX for his harem, for he regardeth matrte mony as a great privilege; but the CIVILIZED man payeth a BACHELOR TAX, for he considereth SINGLE LIFE the only thing worth a price.
