FRENCH GUNS BRING
DOWN ZEPPELIN
TWENTY-TWO OF THE CREW
MEET DEATH BY
EXPLOSION
PARIS, Feb. 28.—French guns
near Brabant Le Roi brought down
a Zeppelin yesterday, and 'the en
tire crew, numbering 22, perished.
The Zeppelin was brought to earth
by a shot from an automibile moun
ted cannon at Rovigny.
The Zeppelin was one of the
latest model, being of the marine
type and numbered L-Z 77. An
other Zeppelin was following it 15
kilometers behind when the French
gunners began to fire.
The crew of the second Zeppelin,
witnessing the destruction of the
L-Z 77, turned their airship sharply
and proceeded in another direction.
The presence of the Zeppelin was
announced between 8:30 and 8:45.
It fought against the wind and ad
vanced slowly. As soon as it was
within range the cannonade began.
Two shells burst in the rear of
the dirigible, while an incendiary
projectile seemed to tear across
the Zeppelin, igniting the right side
of the craft. The fire was soon
sweeping along the entire length of
the ariship. It burned steadily, no
report from an explosion being
heard.
Little by little it came down,
lighted up by flaming pieces of
envelope which became detached.
In touching the earth, the bombs
Which the Zeppelin carried exploded
There was nothing left but the
debris of the aircraft, among which
lay the 22 bodies.

thousand men are at work erect

HOW WE LEARNED TO USE
ALMANAC
The first almanacs were of Ara
bian origin, and reflected the local
genious of the people in a very
striking way. They served as
models in other countries for hun
dreds of years.
The oldest known copy of such a
work is preserved by the British
Museumand dates back to the time
of Rameses the Great of Egypt,
who lived 1200 years before the
birth of Christ. It was written
on papyrus, in red ink, and covers
a period of six years. The entries
relate to religious ceremonies, to
the fates of children born on given
days, and to the regulation of busi
ness enterprises in accordance with
planetary influences.
“Do nothing at all this day,” is
one of the warnings. “If thou seest
anything at all this day It will be
fortunate,” is another entry. “Look
not at a rat this day,” Wash not
with water this day,” “Go out not
before daylight this day,” are some
of the additional cautions.
This almanac was found in an
old tomb, and is supposed to have
been buried with its Egyptian own
er when he was converted into a
mummy for future explorers to dig
up and dissect in the interest of
science and litterature.
Next after this in point of age
among the existing specimens of
ancient almanacs are some com
posed in the fourth century. They
are Roman Church calendars, giv
ing the names of the saints and
other religious information.
The Baltic nations, who were not
versed in papyrus-making, had ca
lendars engraved on axe-helves,
walking sticks and other articles of
personal use. The days were not
ched with a broad mark for Sunday
anti the saints’ days were symboli
zed in various styles and devices,
such as a harp, a gridiron, a lover’s
knot and so on.. The Saxon alma
nacs are numerous and contain his
torical as well as ecclesiastical en
tries.
It is posible to traee in these
curious records all the chages of
popular belief and taste. They
were prepaored to meet the current
demand and to constitute a syste
matic story of what took place in
successive periods and how know
ledge increased with the revolving
years. We owe to them most that
we know of the people for whom
they were made and by whom they
were endorsed.
