Mechanical RED , , i up official documents. Nowadays red tape Is the means of tying P08t anything from gumshoes to governments. Red tape may draw- a line against the errors of slipshod workers. More often, however, it fetters efficiency and makes a hangmans noose for action. , Once in the fleet there was a captain who desired an especially convenient form of waste basket. He had It made on requisition by the navy yard. Unfortunately just as it arrived aboard he was ordered to another ship. In the confusion of departure the waste basket remained behind. At the end of the quarter the captains yeoman (clerk) made an invoice as per regs. Everything checked up O. K. but the basket It was missing, and It could not be expended because It was an Item of some value and rather new. A letter of inquiry was sent to the old ship stating the case and requesting that the article be forwarded. After some weeks the letter was returned with several sheets of endorsements attached. It turned out that the navigator had taken the basket with him when he went to command a Pacific coast cruiser. The navigator respectfully stated' that his baggage had gone adrift, the basket with it. Whereupon a' survey or investigation was ordered by the original owner. The yeoman prepared all papers in due form explaining the loss of the article and forwarded them to Washington. These papers including six endorsements of explanation were sent out to the navigator. He smeared on a few more and mailed the packet back to his old ship. On arrival the batch was not fully understood. It was endorsed a few times more and boosted on to headquarters, who shot It back to the captain. Briefly that packet made the circuit four and a half times. Each time It connected a few dozen more endorsements, remarks, comments, Inquiries and respectful statements. . , Finally the captain called in his yeo-find if I that he man. said, Jones, waste basket batch of blankety-blanrot on my desk again Im going to dis-- If I dont find rate you to It Ill rate you up to chief. Jones and beat It. He looked up the monthly difference In pay between It was his rate and that of chief. something like ten dollars. He went ashore and spent ten beans. Next day the captain found under his desk a fine new waste basket. It was just like the one hed lost In the bottom of it was a pile of paper torn to bits.

Gulf Stream is 50 to 250 miles In width and flows at the leisurely pace of 3 to 5 miles an hour. It swings upward along the Florida coast, Is deflected by Hatteras, and shoots a cool three thousand miles to Iceland and the British Isles.

This frigid stream squirts from the mouth of Baffin bay and drenches with Its d spray the rocks of Labrador and Maine and the yellow Jersey sands. If, as has been proposed, a mammoth breakwater were built eastward from New Foundland shooting the northern current out, America would become tropical In climate while our English brethren built snow igloos.

' 0 When we contemplate the which has been suggested for the next aviation budget, and the plan of building 50,000 machines In one year it is a little difficult to understand the governments former attitude. The balloon idea was brought to Washington in 1881 by Professor Lowe. He was a young inventor who started us making artificial ice. He died only four years ago after a1 long life which was calculated to spite his enemies in the capitol. They had called him a lunatic when he proposed to fly over the Confederate lines and bring back information. There was a rumor that the hostile army was about to attack. Young Lowes balloon was used as a last resort. He ascended about 3,000 feet, drifted over the enemy batteries, and returned with what proved to be straight dope that Johnny Red had no Intention of starting anything. This exploit was such a feather in Lowes bonnet that his pay was increased to $10 a day. Which ruined him.,- For, though he made subsequent flights or drifts, the gross indecency of paying a common Prof, such a sum when men were dying for less, creAs a compromise it ated a near-riowas reduced to $6. But his retirement soon followed. Sic semper the cit. The Union army then made its own aerostats, as they were called. Regular reconnaissance work was carried out, but as the balloon was always captive the zone of Inquiry was very narrow. Foreigners came over to investigate the wild rumors which had become rife In Europe. The technique of this early aviation corps was very crude. Their gas bags were of rough cotton goods, oiled, and doubled-spiiceat the seams. Inflation was achieved.by means of hot air from fire. A heavy rope anchora pine-kned the balloon. Several times this got foul' of the operators on the ground and had to be cut. The observer landed when and where he could. Usually he drowned or else ate' his supper in a Confederate prison qpmp.

In December the king fell sick, and the nation was filled with anxiety. It was decided that the Christmas should be a silent one. There were no bells, carols, or merry making. Silent Christmases were proclaimed In the protectorate of Cromwell The festival was altogether abolished, and the display of the emblems of the nativity was held to be seditious. The change Was most notable in London. There was silence in the Strand; the church belle were still Yule was the name of the ancieht Scandinavian festival held at the time of the winter solstice. The word is of uncertain origin, says The Housekeeper, but it probably is taken directly from the Icelandic word Jol, meaning a feast. It is curious to note how meny nations of old marked the turn of the year that Is, the December solstice by festivals.' The Egyptians, tlw Hindus, the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans all had feasts at this season, but especially the Northern nations the Teutons, the Scandinavians, the early natives of Britain rejoiced at the event of the suns turn on its coruse. The festival was kept with much eating and drinking and noisy jollity. One of the ceremonies was the pUiclng of an enormous log of wood often so large that it required the strength of several men to bring It in upon the hearth fire In the huge fireplace. The burning of the Yule log was thought to insure good fortune to the family, especially when charred bepieces of the log burned the year HAPPY CHRISTMAS Happy, happy Christmas that ran win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of h's youth; and transport the sailor and the traveler thousands of miles away, baflt to his own fireside and his quiet home.
