BATTLE FOR POSSESSION
OF POLAND CONTINUES
LITTLE DOUBT ENTERTAINED
THAT LODI Is IN HANDS
OF GERMANS,
Germans Attack Allies at st. Elog.
Rest of Battle Line
Is Quiet.

LONDON. Dec. 8. 1880 D. m.-The
great battle for possession of Poland
continues. The front extends along
three hundred miles and victory over
part of IL. at last. appears to have
fallen to the Germans. while the Rus
slams are pressing upon Cracow in
the south.
That Lodz is m possession of the
Germans seems undoubted and a
Russian official report Just issued
apparently is preparing the pub
lie mind for the news by referring to
the difficulty of defending the city.
which gives to the Russian front an
abnormal contour and forecasts a re-
forming of the line.
Details OF these mighty battles have
yet to be written. The general fact
that there has Oeen fearful slaughter
and intense suffering from the cold
comprises about the total OF the in
formation received.
Pursuing Russians
The Germans claim they are pur-
SUING the Russians To the south and
southeast OF LODI. Several American
correspondents were with the Russian
army when the battle broke. but
nothing has been heard from them for
seVersl days. Evidently they are un-
der the hand Of strict censorship.
British military experts insist that
three quarters OF the best material OF
the German army has been held in the
western theatre of the war through
out the campaign. and that the troops
opposed to the Russians consist prin-
cipally of second line organizations.
The French official report tonight
announces thar the Germans have
made q violent attack on the allies at
ST Eloy. south of Ypres. which was
repulsed. This may mean renewal
OF the German attempt to batter
through the allied lines which the cor
respondent predicted from the move
ments OF the Germans in Belgium.
Elsewhere in the west there have been
only local engagements

DESTRUCTION BY INSECTS

Man Is several thousand times larger
than most destructive insects. yet the
insects will destroy mans work, II
not checked, In comparatively less
time than the building required. For
instance, men may construct a harbor
pier In a few weeks, and at the end
of as many years animal life in the
sea may cut the pilings completely in
two, and, II their work is not at once
checked, in time the entire structure
may fall. Engineering men have strug-
gled to protect piling from such on
slaughts for a long time. The damage
done by the tiny creatures that sooD
reduce huge timbers to sawdust
amounts annually to great sums OF
money and now and then horrible ca
tastrophes may be charged directly to
the work OF these pests. Perhaps no
other agency has been more powerful
in bringing the use Of concrete into
wharf and pier construction. But
where wooden piling and timbers must
be used a means Aas been perfected
Of driving solutions OF creosote deep
into the wood under high pressure.
This preparation is not wholesome to
the worms and barnacles that enjoy
tearing down what man builds up.

DR.. George 0. Williams Of Greene,
N. Y, has found that soft curd cheese
is an excellent poultfce for varicose
ulcers. He tells in the Medical Record
Of one case in which he healed an
old and deep ulcer two inches wide by
three inches long.
Giving the patient pills internally,
he applied to the sore poultices' made
from soft, we'll ripened, full cream
cheese, to which was added mixture
of equal parts of cream and water
The whole was worked into soft
mass. The water and cream were
added to prevent drying" This was
spread upon gauze large enough just
to cover the ulcer. 1t was renewed
morning, noon and night, the patient
going about her ordinary duties on
the farm. The application was pain
full for about an hour and a half; the
cheese entirely disappeared within
five hours, seemingly being eaten up
by the ulcer
Twenty days of this treatment re-
suited in the healing Of the ulcer, with
no scab remaining,

Of the lunar world teaches US of a
planet that may be totally unlike our
own; of a globe minus both air and

wind storms to erode and obliterate

and where the rough-cast surface, In
its original state and exposed to our

silence pervade the entire planet.
Within the regions Of the lunar south
pole the superscriptions OF the surface
remain untarnished, every vestige as

low zero F.
The strange conditions OF the lunar
landscape which would meet the eye
Of the explorer would be weird, baf-
fling and yet beautiful. Dawn, as we
know it, would have no counterpart on
the moon, for absence Of air means
no diffused light. The untempered
rays Of the sun would appear sudden
ly upon the black horizon, crowning
the mountain peaks with a dazzling
whiteness, with their flanks and val
leys yet in utter darkness. To the
lunar spectator this sunrise would be
unaccompanied by the gorgeous glow
ing sky tints so familiar on earth. No
atmosphere would mean no sky light
and the solar beams would burn as
flercely as a gigantic electric light
few feet from the eye. With no diff
fusing vapor, the sky, even at midday,
would appear darker than that with
which we are familiar on a moonless
night, and the stars would shine
brighter than ever before. The in

MAN CAPTURES HIS CAPToR
Colonel Paine, Commander Of confed-

Among the Confederate prisoners

Colonel Paine, who commanded a bri-

capture. as told by Folger. are as fol-
lows:
while charging in the edge OF Get
tysburg and getting separated from
my regiment | was made a prisoner
by Colonel Paine and was being taken
to the rear. On the main road, just
outside of the town, was situated
tannery, the watts of which we're under
cover and were very close to the
street
Il was walking along beside the
colone's orderly and as we came near
these tannery watts | saw a carbine
lying on the ground. When | came
up to II l quickly took 1t. Seeing it
was loaded, | fired and killed Paine's
horse, which, I'm it's death struggle, fell
over toward the watts, throwing the
colonel completely under the tanning
liquid.
Seeing that the colonel was safe
enough for the moment | turned my
attention to his orderly, who, finding
his pistol had fouled and was useless,
was about 10 jump his horse over the
fence to the right and escape that
way II he could, but not being able
to do so, concluded he had better sur
render The reason did not fire upon
him was that the last shot in the cap
tured carbine was fired at the colo
nels horse. AS the orderly did not
know this, it was my play TO make
him think instant death awaited him
If he attempted to escape.
His gray uniform. with its white
velvet facing, his white gauntlet
gloves, face and hair, had all become
completely stained so that he present

REASON FOR ECONOMY

An Englishman who recently visited
the United States, thinks he has dis
covered the reason for American ex-
travagance and English thrift. He
says that the difference in the spend
ing temperament of the two nations
is due entirely to the change purse
which Englishmen carry. mo one
whose money is constantly jingling
in his pocket can possibly be econo-
mical," says the observer from over
seas. "On the other hand, the man
who has to open a change purse to
get at his small coins is under con-
stant restraint. The extra effort nec'
essary to get at his small coins win
cause him to forego many opportuni-
ties for spending which his American
cousin would eagerly accept"
