Jasper Baty, of Jastiii1 county, a fel low with the gun habit, is chuckling over with marksmanship in that he was enabled to shoot a bald eagle, one of the -rare specimens that will soon be ex tinct if enough Jasper Batys can get a shot at them. An. account of the af­fair published in a local paper states that "the big bird measured 6 feet from tip to tip and when he flew he looked like a baby airplane. He flew so close to the dog that he gave a queer yelp and when Mr. Baty went to see what was the matter this big bird flew up. He immediately got the shotgun and

shot him. \JJhcro it came from ho one knows but it certainly strayed a long ways from home" The big bird was harming no one and what satisfaction -Anyone can get out' of'the destruction of fowls so rare is one of the unexplaln-abW mystei ies.

Mrs. Claude E. Perry, of Long Beach, Calif., recently visited on old friend. Mrs. Ethel M. Bessie, in Spen cer. Clav county. While in the city E. L. C. White learned of her peculiar ex

perieneca and a vtjry Interesting inter-1 the sound one hundred times and which view resulted. One day Mrs. Perry was could detect the hum of aoroplanes at waiting for a train In a depot at Los [ three Umes the distance possible with \ngcles when, she spied an elderly wo-1 man With a- dollar bill pinned to her hat and under it was this inscription: "Tills is my lust foliar, who will give me a homer'' Mrs.; Percy told the strange woman that she would accommodate her and for clght^nonths she made fitr home -with heKjiewly found friend. One day sh(' left hurriedly and that was the last seen or heard of her for several years. Mrs. Perry never expected tt> hoar of her again but one day she got .a telpfiram from, a lawyer at a littl town itt Kansas notifying her of tlie death of Mrs. Sarah M. Russell, whom she recogriiicd us the Strange woman she luid befriended. Tho lawyer in­formed her that she had been left $20,-000 in cash by the will of the woman re cently deceased. In her early woman­hood Mrs. Perry and a man named Cainard, a resident of New York, were ldrenu An enstrangement followed and Cainard never married and when he diejd he bequeathed to the idol of his young manhood- an estate valued at $150,000 and Mrs. Perry was on her way - to. New York to claim her heritage when she stopped'off at Silencer to visit a,,girlhood friend. Two fortunes com­ing unexpectedly make Mrs. Perry's experience somewhat'out of the ordi­nary. Although nearly 70 years of age Mrs. • Perry • wds -in1 the thickest of the lighting in Fiance. When the United States entered the world war she en­listed as a Red Cross nurse, saw field ^service at the battle of Chateau Thier­ry, an«l although having had no previ­ous experience in the nursing profess­ion. was decorated for her splendid ser­vices by King George and Queen Mary, when-Gen. Pershing reviewed the allied •troops at Chateau Thierry in 1917. ,

To Prof. Geo. W. Stewart, professor and bead of tho department of physics at the University of'Iowa, the United States navy ascribes Credit for devel­oping? the accountis receivers employ­ed by the antiaircraft station at tlie Ponsacola naval base, the first com­pletely equipped antiaircraft station In the United States. This apparatus has "proved superior to all other types," according to official statements and by tests has been demonstrated to be far superior to apparatus used for similar purpeses during the war by the French and British. Professor Stewart perfect­ed accoustic receivers which magnified

tho naked ear. It was proved possible to- separate- two planes less than a de-greo apart, to detect the kind of motor in use on tl»§. plans.-and to hear the sound Of distant aerpbine motors in tho midst or felt'.kinds:-of. racket immediate­ly ki lttridi'thb adjacent noises being excluded by ml>ans of the peculiar de-sign* of receivers used. Using two lis-teniftte*'stations' it is possible to plot the. touted of the '• aeroplane, determine its speed dicuratcly and regulate gun fire accordingly;

' Oov. \\l. L. Harding has contributed a nptablc article to the August number of the Review of Reviews concerning Iowa's rural school activities. Among other thingB he says: "During the past year two types of schools have had spe­cial development In Iowa. They are the consolidated school and the stand­ard one room schodl. The consolidated school Is not. in any sense, new. but has had unusual development and growth during tho year. On,,July 1. 1918. we had'in'the state about 230 of these schools.
