A STARTLING BILL.

Hotels are few and i'll conducted in

when the bill is presented. Two
young sailors had dinner one day in
Pernambuco. and. to their horror, the
bill was 5000 refs.
They nearly tainted and would tave
fed without attempting to settle: but,
there being no chance OF escape. they
dubbed together all the money they
had. about $40. and huu,bly offered it
to the proprietor. Instead OF having
them thrown into jail. he laughed and
explained that their bill in American
coin was s. so
He furthermore explained that the

WABASH IS VICTOR
OVER THE QUAKERS
Hard Fought Battle Saturday
Goes to the Fast Lit
tie Giants.
Wabash IL; Earlham 3.

In what is considered the hardest
fought game of the season the Earl
ham football squad went down to de-
feat yesterday afternoon at Crawfords-
Vile, at the hands Of the Wabash
team. Consistent football was played
by both teams from the start OF the
game to the finish and every inch OF
ground was won and lost valiantly.
Never before was the Earlham
eleven in better form and the defeat
was the first one OF the season. De-
spite the fact that Bogue sustained
an injured knee in the Wednesday
practise he played good game, max
ing the only score for Earlham.
Earlham opened the scoring in the
first quarter when Bogue made a
pretty place kick. In the second quar-
ter Wabash "came back" securing a
| touchdown. The third quarter went
| rapidly, neither team scoring. In this
quarter both teams played their best
and displayed the fact that they had
received some hard workouts during
the past week. An attempt was made
by Farlham to tie the score at this
STAG of the contest, but Bogue failed
to IKE a place kick. In the last
quarter Wabash held Earlham and in
addition secured another touchdown.
Both teams used the forward pass
but were not successful with it, The
ball went low and struck the ground
the pass falling.
One feature of the game was the
sensational block made by "Deak"
Reagan. Wabash attempted a place
kick and Reagan jumped several feet
in the air. getting the ball.
Eighty-one Earlham students board
ed the car in this city and ten more
students at Indianapolis helped to
swell the crowd. Several others were
at Charlottesville and the entire num-
Der, together with the college drum
corps, made know the fact that Earl
ham was not lacking in support

Session of German ReichstQg
Promises TO Be Very Stormy

A sensation has been caused at
Strasburg by the news that the new
carbine, of which SO much was ex-
pected, is in the hands of a spy The
military authorities of the Fifteenth
Army Corps are greatly concerned
and have placed the matter in the
hands of secret agents.
A number of reservists had been or.
dered to put in i period of training at
Haguenau. When the period came to
an end the men were reviewed by an
officer. who declared himself satisfied
with them. But the inspecting officer
was astounded when the men were in
vited to return 20 their arms. 1t was
found that carbne CT the latest
model had disappeared as il by en-
chantment.
Instead of being sent to their homes
the reservists were confined to the
barracks. A search WIS made for the
missing carbinc, but without result
The men were hen discharged
Meanwhile the secret agents dis
covered clue. A stranger had been
seen drinking with the soldiers. but
curious as it may seem it has been
found impossible to place the reserv-
list who parted with his carDine. This
is due to the fact that when the
weapons were distributed no note was
taken of their numbers.
The reServists who went to their
homes are being watched by the al
thorities.
The official announcement that the
part of the Franco-German neSotia-
tons relating to Morocco have been
pharaphiert, that is to say, initiaIled,
caused absolutely no excitement and
hardly any comment. The term para
phiert. has nothing to do with para
graph" as one leading German paper
supposed, but comes from a Greek
word, meaning a Flourish" In this
case the flourish consists of the mi
tails of the negotiators, tx" and &C.
the former standing for kiderlen-
Wachter, the German Foreign Secre-
tary, and the latter for Cambon, the
French Ambassador.
That it is anything more than de-
vice to persuade people that some
thing has been finished and done no
one believes, for it simply makes the
agreement a conditional one, depend
ing for its ultimate validity on fur
Their agreement about concessions in
the Congo. Even in the latter event
the matter is not finally settled, since
the agreements must run the gauntlet
of the French Chamber and the Reich
stag.
There is another reason for the 81
lence. 1t is widely suspected that
Germany has been out-generalled over
Morocco, and the suspicion is accentu-
ated by an apprehension that she is
about to suffer the same fate in re-
gard to the Congo compensations.

TELESCOPE LENSES.
The Small Glass Masnifies the Picture
Made by the Large One.


People sometimes wonder why tele-
scope has two glasses. one at the big
end and one at the little end. and they
want to know the difference. The glass
at the big end is to gather light. 1t
is simply big eye. If it is hundred
times bigger than the eye in your head
it will rlther Il hundred times more
light. 1t gathers the rays of light, COM
ing from star and bends them all into
Il common meeting point called TO
Gus. which is q picture Of the star.
You can look at this picture Of the star
with your naked eye If you like. But
you can see it better and examine it
more closely if you look at it with a
small magnifying glass. And this is
the glass at the small end Of the tele-
scope. 1t magni1ies the picture made
by the big glass at the other end Of the
instrument. All telescopes are built on
this principle. Sir William Hcrsc bel
was the first to arrange matters a lit
tie differently. He took away the
glass from the big end and admitted
the rays coming straight into the tube
in parallel lines. Then at the bottom
Of the big tube be placed bright con
cave mirror made of FURNISHED metal.
When the entering rays fell upon this
mirror they were again bent to a point
called 4 focus. which was the picture
of the star. To look at this picture he
had to place the little magnifying glass
at the side OF the tube because the
mirror had stopped up its lower end.
