The world's speed record now stands at nearly 245 miles r>er tiour. Awe-inspiring endurance records and a nonstop coast-to-coast flight are likewise to the credit of our army air service. Engines on fall-power tests are now expected to run 250 hdnrs continuously. Gilders remain aloft for many hours with nothing but air currents and tbe skill of their pilots to sustain them.

Stirling and Dundee were great centers of the pistol-making industry. Scottish pistols were famous as far back as 1515, and were exported to many countries. There were at one time nearly 100 concerns In Scotland engaged in the industry,. „ Plow Lays Cable. The plow lias been set to work lay* lng electric-light cables.* A cast-steel implement for deep plowing was adapted for the purpose, and with a small force of workers the plow installed 1,600 feet of single, lead-covered cable in one day. It was fitted with a clamp to bold the end of the cable, and a gasoline engine, with a drum, was hitched to the drawbar. The cable was pulled along beneath the surface of the ground by the plowshare, so that, as the plow proceeded the cable was laid in the trcnch made. Th eompany making the-experiment attained a still better record when the plow was pulled by a more powerful gasoline engine. Appllcat'on of th« device Is limited to use In city parka or In suburban Installations when cable has to be strung across a large lawn. The outfit can be hauled anywhere by a small truck.

Wis.--Wisconsin Is ;now among the gold-producing states of the Union. Ore, containing $10 worth of gold and an ounce of sliver in each ton. has been discovered by W. EL Warren, prospector. In Bogus cave on Bogus bluff, a mile and a half from Gotham. Richland county. Assays have been returned to Mr. Warren with the ore be had tested, which will convince the most dubious. The ore was exhibited at the Richland county fair. "I have known that there was gold there for a long time," said Mr. Warren. "I have received assays from other samples tested which proved them to contain between $4 and $8 worth of gold and a little silver." Mr. Warren believes that this discovery will pay him to Install machinery to remove tbe ore from the ground. Cave Famous Many Years. Ten dollars to tbe ton is a high percentage for low grade ore," be com tinned. "And then, too, the deeper 1 dig the better it gets." Bogus cave has been famous for many years. Its history Is a continuous story of mystery and adventure. Between 1872 and 1875 It was connected with the operations of a daring gang of counterfeiters. Signals have been seen flashing from Bogus blult, which were answered as far away as Blue Mound, more than 25 miles. **I don't believe the counterfeiters ever made their money here," said Mr. Warren. "The rooms are too dark and too small. They may have used it for a storing place, however." Before the days of the counterfeiters Bogus cave was a refuge for Indians. Many Indian relief have been unearthed by Mr. Warren tn bis excavations in the cave. "In one room I found a white domelike structure, which must have been used at one time for an altar," said Warren. , Yellow Stone Qava It Name.

PLAN TO OPERATE BARGE TRAINS ON MISSISSIPPI Company Designs Transport on River Like Railway!* iBt Louis.--A new system, feffcwted to mark an era In Inland waterway transportation. Is planned by a group of prominent St Louis business men who have Incorporated the Standard Unit Navigation company. Under the plans, transportation on the Mississippi and other rivers would be handled In a manner similar to railroad transportation. New types of towboats and barges are to be used, extensive trials of which have proved successful, officials said. Explaining the methods,' Carl J. Baer, one of the directors, said that, instead of the huge barges tn use on the lower Mississippi, the system provides for small barges, linked together like freight cars on a train. The towboats. which will have a displacement of about one-third that of craft now In use for the purpose, will, nevertheless, develop as much power. Propulsion of the boats will be paddles fixed on an endless chain on each side of the boat. "The barges will be small, having a capacity of from one to three ca# loads, continued Mr. Baer. Tralnw of barges would be made Up In a fashion similar to freight car trains. A barge Good Reaaon for It. <MIss Johnson -- Melindy Jackson says she has blue blood In lier veins.

"Division of the rivers, like railroad divisions, would be established, the towboats hauling the barges through their divisions and delivering the tow to other boats at the division points. The design of the towboats and barges will be such that they cat* operate efficiently In three feet of water." Mr. Baer pointed out that under the proposed method gulf-to-the-lakes service would immediately become feasible by using the present canal from Chicago to the Illinois river and then to the Mississippi. He added that towboats and barges of the new type had beet) contracted for, and that tbe service was expected to begin nest summer. Finds $5,680 In Waste Paper.

The apparatus has been fitted to a ship In the Chatham dockyard. Thorough tests are to be made at sea.
