Ever since the commencement of the war, the possibility of a Zeppelin | raid on Great Britain has caused a | great dea! of discussion, for the Ger- | mans have taken good care to spread, as much as possible dread of such an attack. In aeronautical circles, however, ! little alarm is felt, for those who | know the real capabilities of the Zep- pelin airships are' aware that the German inspired scare is about as empty as the gas filled aircraft itself. Take, for instance, the much-vaun- ted automatic guns which are said to be carried on a specially built plat- form situated on the sausage shaped envelope of the Zeppelin. It is ex- tremely doubtful whether a single one of the Kaiser's airships is arm- | ed in this fashion, for Count Zeppe- | lin was taught a drastic lesson in this connection at the end of last year. | On a new Zeppelin airship a tun- nel was constructed through the gas | envelope which enabled tite crew to] pass between the passenger gondol- | as and a gun platform on the top of | the machine. | The craft climbed to a height of a | thousand feet with a full comple- ment of crew, and a number crawled | up the ladder in the communica¥on | tunnel and primed the gun situated above the envelope. i The signal was given and the wea- | pon fired, and this proved to 'be the! last action of the unfortunate gun | crew. The Zeppelin disappeared ina | sheet of flame, and a twisted mass of | aluminum and fabric crashed to| earth carrying over thirly men to their doom. | A Zeppelin was manoeuvring near | Berlin, with the usual crowd of ad-| miring spectortars looking on; and | no doubt inspired by the large audi- | ence, the crew brought their ma- chine close to thre ground and began to skim the tree tops. The day was gusty and a number of fierce air currents took possese- ion of the airship and forced it out of control. It crashed on to a wooded slope, around which the lengthy airship en- veloped and curled itself in a disas- trous embrace. The task of 'landing and s=eriding off a Zeppelin is a nerve-racking un- dertaking. Various complicated de- vices, such as supporting trucks run- ning on rails, are required to launch the machines into space, and even | then a troublesome wind is likely to wreck the whole apparatus. l The usual landing crew of several hundred men were bringing a Zep- pelin to earth on one occasion when, through a mistaken order, the front | portion of the diribible was released | by the group holding it:1o earth. | The men in the rear hung on to| their portion of the machine so that | whilst the front shot up the back | stayed down. The result was that | the great airship broke its back, and | several thousand pounds of the Ger- | man taxpayers' money went to waste. | Mishaps such as these are bound | to occur unless a picked company of | five hundred men are drilled with | military precision to handle a des-| cending Zeppelin, for quite a little | difference in weight will throw the | ship up or down too much on one side. 2 i A Very Ancient Sin. 1 Windsor Record Grafting and theft are the out- riders of war. It has been the case since the days when Achan confess. ed to Joshua: "And Achan answered Joshua and sald, indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: : 5 "When I saw among the spoils a goodly Bobylonish garmeut,, and two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold of : weight, then '1 coveted them took them; and, behold, they hid in the earth in the midst of m/s tent, and the silver under it.

New York, March 26---Gross earn- ings of all the Pennsylvania system lines last year were $354,000,000. They were less by $38,000,000, or 11 per cent, than that of the previous Year. Still, they were close to a mil- lion a day, including Sundays. The system paid out directly in wages last year approximately $160,- 000,000, or at the rate of $430,000 a day, bit the men got at least $50,- 000 a day less than the year before. Dividénd Suspended. New York, March 26.--The Sou- thern Railway Company dffectors have decided to suspend the dividend on the preferred stock ordinarily payable in* April.

Toronto, March = 26.--Canadian -) Mining and Exploration Co. spent 72 per cent of its revenue in 1914 look- ing for something good in mining, but did not find anything. Revenue in 1914 was $137,596, as; compared with $133,799* in 1913. , The chief items of expenditure were for salaries, $39,387 and examina- tions, $35,746. The amount charged to these items in 1913 were $37,723 and $17,049 respectively. ~The balance sheet shows cash on hand amounting to $321,445, as com- pared with $380,100 at the end of 1913. Municipal Bonds, Toronto, March 26.--The bond houses in Canada report a better de- mand for good municipal securities at present than at any time since war broke out. The present demand does not come entirely from New York though' New York houses are still paying considerable attention to Ca- nadian securities. Quite recently it has become apparent that Canadian banks are in the market for muni- cipals sold at a rate to yield six per cent. or better. The assumption is that the banks are seeing an outlet for their large accumulations under conditions which will give a fair re- turn for the present and a probable profit when conditions settle down at the close of the war, and when Canadian municipals realize higher prices than at present.
