elaborate preparations for the cele-
bration, next year, of the centenary
Of the Battle of Leipsic, the mighty
struggle which settled the fate Of
continental Europe. 1t has been
called the Battle of the Nations BE-
cause of the large number of nation
alities that took part in it.
So momentous were the results of
that conflict, which actually was the
turning point in Napoleon's career,
that 1t has been considered worthy
OF monument, now under construc-
ton, which will be the largest battle
monument in the world. When this
memorial is dedicated. in October,
1913, the participants will include the
emperor of Germany, the rulers of a
score of European states which were
saved from the conquering Corsican
by the battle, and great throngs of
people from all quarters of the earth.
Many persons believe that Bona
parties downfall dates from his disas-
trous invasion Of Russia, but the truth
is that not that expedition, but the
five-day battle in the outskirts of
Leipsic broke the backbone of his
power Again, superficial students
Of history have asserted that the
defeat Of the French army at Leipsic
was evidence of the waning of the
emperor's mentality and tactical
skill. They are wrong, in the opinion
of modern leaders in the art of war
fare. The latter pronounce the Leip-
sic campaign the best planned of all
the campaigns Of the Napoleonic
wars, and declare that the overthrow
of the French army was due to Ma
poleons supreme confidence in his
ability to whip the Allies.
Hated Napoleon.
After the battle Of Jena, in 1906,
Napoleon was heard to say that Leip-
sic was the most. dangerous Of his
enemies, but not for minute did he
ever think that 1t would prove so
fatal to his ambitions. The conqueror
Of Marengo, Austerlitz, Friedland,
Ratisbon, Wagram, Lutzen, Bautzen
and Dresden made no preparations
for retreat.
The people Of Leipsic hated Napol-
con and his soldiers, and not without
reason. The citizens had formed q
Corps Of Vengeance" sworn to fight
the emperor to the death. but when,
after Lutzen, he took possession OF
Leipsic he only sneered at the corps,
and when the deputies Of the city pre-
sented its submission to him he con-
temptuously told them to get out"
as he would have spoken to an i'm.

clared in state Of siege 30 that II

given more consideration than those

roads we're in deplorable condition.
County Engineer James Wilson, in
conjunction with the present as well
as the previous Levy Court Commits

"The Wizard Of Science Who Has
Caught Nature Mapping" is the title
that has been bestowed upon Charles
Urban, the young American-born in
ventor, whose hobby has been for the
past seventeen years, the study OF
color photography, and who by his
wonderful invention of Kinemacolor
has revolutionized the field of photo
graphy. He is the only person who
knows how many countless hours he
has worked to wrest from nature the
secret OF reproducing every tint and
tone as exists in the original; but
space does not permit the detail, as
to how Charles Urban solved the pro.
blem, and gave to the world the Won
derful Kinemacolor pictures which
reproduce in motion and all original
colors of nature any scenes and IN
cidents upon which the camera man
may turn his machine

color pictures into this country was

Of King George, in London, last year

MILFORD. Del, Oct 16.--Once the

which coasted along the bays and
rivers In Delaware, Milford last week
lost It's last line Of schooners and,
incidentally, its notability as YES
sci port and leading place fol many

been plying between Milford, Phlla-
delphia and other ports and were
owned by Captain f. v. Hendrixson.
who has run the line for twenty
years. Slowly the demand for the
sailing vessels has diminished and
faster boats have taken their place,
until last week the line was sold to
parties who will use the vessels in
southern waters.
Twenty years ago Milford was the
center of the sailing vessel trade
along the Delaware river, and thou
sands of pine and oak pilings were
shipped down the Mispillion river
bound for northern ports AS the
timber diminished in quantity. the
trade disappeared and the vessels
sought other freighting points. until
now the few remaining Independent
boats hardly find trade enough to
warrant their use On the other
hand the timbered land was cut up
into fruit farms and orchards, steam
ers began TO take the place of the
sailing vessels, and while the schoon-
er trade has died away, the steamer
trade has increased to such an ev-
tent that another new and larger
steamer will be put on the river run
ming from Milford to Philadelphia for
next year.

Cobb Appears Twice In Photo.

Getting into the same photograph of
the Tigers in two different places is
the remarkable feat that Ty Cobb's
lightning thinking and speed have en-.
abled him to accomplish. This is not
a fake picture either. The Tigers
we're lined up in their new ball yard
for a group photo in Detroit recently.
Standing side by side they made a line
too long for ar ordinary camera to ne
gotiate, so a panorama camera was
used.
Cobb was fourth from the left end
of the line. When Cobb noted the
rate at which it was going the idea
popped into his head that he could
beat it. So the instant the lens passed
him he dashed to the rear Of the ma
chine and dug for the other end of the
line. He arrived in time to take up a
