100, 900 FALLING WEEKLY

The official lists of German casualties have settled Gowu to about 6O,OOO a week. For tEe last fortnight they have run a. most exactly that number weekly. It is probable that the published figures are now about keeping level with the daily losses, though weeks farther back.
 Making all due allowances for the fact that the Germans have been fighting more on the offen- sive than the allies in France and Belgium and that the operations in Russian Poland and Gal!cia have been on a smaller scale than the campaign in the west, it is cer- tain that the German losses have not been more than those of all tue other powers involved. Probably they have been much smaller. It is likely that the total casualties for all of the nations at war are averaging more than 10000 a day. Or 10000 or 15O,OOO week.
 Not counting the many unwounde prisoners taken and the men re ported missing who will rejoin tue armies from which they have be- come separated, the killed and wounded and the soldiers falling victims to disease must exceed 100000 every week. That is at the rate of mora than 5000 900 a year, and the war is widening steadily. How long can Europe stand such a drain ?-CleVeland Leader

The Indian Maiden of Fact.

The Indian Maiden of Fact. Swarthy daughter of the prairie, uglier than homemade sin; Eyes like two holes in a blanket, heels turned out and toes turn ed in. Feet shaped like the flatiron build ing, hair that never saw. a comb; You look to me like some ragamuf- fin, as around the camp you roam. Hike ten miles to get the rations, for your noble chief so brave; Hoping he is doped with whiskey, which alone your neck can save Chop his wood and feed his horses, plait his hair and paint his face;
 If you don't hell knock your head off, and get another to fill your place. If you are travelling through the country, and have lots of time to spare; Stop at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, there are lots of Indians there. You will see the great Comanche' and the noble Kiowas. And you'll find that Indian maidens' are just plain and ugly squaws. Now, the Indians that l speak of' are the Indians of today; And if poets don't believe it, we'll Just let them have their way. But when you see the Indian maid en, you will say with firm con viCtion, Trere's difference tween the one of fact, and the one described in fiction.

THE DIFFERENCE

When an epidemic of disease among cattle or other domes- tic animals is stamped out witt swift yigor by killing tainted stcck and enforcing rigid quarantine regulations, it may occur to many persons that in the long run fewer human lives would be sacrificed if similar unsparing methods were resorted to in obiterating intec- tious disease among men. A strong argument might be made along such lines.
 Yet the world would be the poorer, immeasurably the poorer if the sick and the helpless were treated as domestic animals ale dealt with when they are tainted with disease or in danger Of beng so infected. There is a vast dlirer- ence which must never be ignored or forgotten.
 Pity. tenderness, long and pa tient service to those in need, self sacrifice for the suffering and the broken in health and spirit, do for mankind what no possible immu- nity from disease could ever ac- tomplish. It would be a dark day for the world if compassion and unselfish devotion to the victims Of mortal disease were supplante1 and banished by self-protection and regard solely for the physical security and strength of the race.
 And it is never possible 10 know what service of great and enduring value will be rendered by a man stricken with an incur able malady. Before he dies he may give his fellow creatures a thought, an idea, a phrase, worth more than the life work of many a strong and healthy person of com mouplace mental and moral endow- mert and capacity for service.
 It is never necessary to think O. the brain power of unsound cattle. It is folly ever to forget it in con sidering sick men and women.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
Action of the Ar When an Electric
 Bulb Explodes.

Action of the Ar When an Electric
 Bulb ExplOdes.
 If a small lump of ice is placed on a plate and light allowed to fall ou it through an ordinary reading glass so that the burning focus comes within the ice very interesting thing may be seen The ice will begin to melt inside al the point of focus. As ice shrinkS on melting, a space will be left on account or tue melted ice not taking up So much room Us it did when 1t was ice This space is almost vaCu am and k filed with water vapOr of Very small pressure.
 If the piece of ice be left in the sun to melt from the outside in, as it usually does. the walls of the previously made hole get thinner and thinner. As the pressure of the atmosphere is fifteen pounds tU the square inch and as the pressure inside the hole is very slight there will come a time when the out side air pressure will collapse tue lee with m explosive sound.
 The same phenomenon is apparent when an electric bulb is broken. PeO- pie say it cxplodes, but aS n matter of fact it is crushed inward on all sides by the atmospheric pressure But ii is known bT every one that pieces Of glass fly to every corner of the room when a bulb cxploGeS. and the fact of its being crushed is not so easily seen
 The only explanation as to why glass flies everywhere inStead of nicely col lapsing into a closely packed mass of cracked glass at the center of the de fuuct bulb Is that as two pieces on opposite sides are hurled inward to. ward the center they do not always exactly strike each other and may miss each other altogether When they do this of course they keep on as they were going-right into different parts of the room So if a person holds a bulb painted on one side only. with the painted side away from his face and with the clear side directly in front of his face and breaks it, he will find that most of the glass strik- ing him will be painted and that in the room opposite him will not be. Right at his feet should be pieces of both.- A. L. Hodges in Chicago Herald.

As SHE APPEARS IN
 POETRY AND NATURE

A member of the battery of ar tillery stationed in Colorado, after reading in the battery's library a lot of sentimental gush on the beau- ty and virtues of the daughter of the noble red man, expressed his views thus:
 The Indian Maiden of Fiction Noble daughter of the forest, with
 her supple, fawn-like grace; Brilliant eyes as dark as midnight,
 dainty feet and slender waist. Dimpled cheeks and lovely shoul-
 ders, shell-like ears and teeth
 of pearl.
 She's the fairest "f all creatures, is
 the poets Indian girl, Roaming through the twilight gloam
 ing, with Gods canopy above
 her;
 Singing for the chiefs home-com-
 ing, that will bring her Indian
 lover;
 Who has gone upon the warpath,
 as her father did of yore; Just to bring back fame and glory,
 to the one he does adore. Poets rave about her beauty, and
 her form they call divine; But I think they must be dreaming
 Of some prehistoric time. And although I'm not a poet, if it's
 just the same to you, I'll describe an Indian maiden from
 a soldiers point of view.

Upon Cases Of Republican
Nominees Next Week

Within the next few days the fate of
at least four Republican candidates for
the house of representatives viii prob
ably be decided-that is, so far as the
necessity for their making another
campaign.
These four candidates, receiving q
majority in the recent primary election,
claim they were elected outright under
the direct primary law, and in this
claim are supported by legal anthori-
ties who politically are affiliated with
the g. o. p. Secretary of the Terri
tory Thayer, inci1ned to different
position, has put tine matter up to At
tcrney. General Stainbaek for an opin-
ion and the attorney general is prepar-
ing to undergo period of mental
digestion with brief that has been
fled with him by Robert w. Breckons,
vice-ehairman of the party.
The attorney-general expects TO
come to decision some time next week.
The ease presents several very knotty
points, for which the new direct pri-
mary law is responsible. One of the
legal quirks is the difficulty Of getting
the matter before court for adjudica-
tion.
Several methods have been suggested
and this will form part of the political
and juridieal pabnlnm upon which the
sttorney-g general will cogitate for the
next few days

SEVENTH STREET PAVING
PLANS PLEASE CITIZENS
Hope That Provision Restored to
Appropriation Bill by Sena-
tors Will Stand.

Qualification over the action OF the Sem
ate District committee in restoring to the
District appropriation bill the item OF
$4,000 for the repaving of 7th street from
New York avenue to Q street northwest
was expressed today by officers of the
Mid-City Citizens Association. which con-
Quoted a campaign to bring aobut that
result.
The association asked that 7th street be
repaved from New York avenue to Flor
ida avenue, and the leaders in the
movement were somewhat disappointed
that their entire request was not granted.
Hope for Extension.
But they said today that they will be
satisfied if the item restored to the bill
by the Senate committee is passed by
both houses, in hope an appropriation for
repaving the street to Florida avenue
may be made next year.
I'VE think that our request for the re-
paving Of the street is just and should
be granded," said NJ. l.. Goldsmith. acting
secretary Of the association. I'VE hope
that the Senate will keep the item in the
bill, and that it will be adopted by the
House. Seventh street should be paved
all the way from New York avenue to
Florida avenue, and we will continue our
work until we accomplish our object"

C. & o. WINS DAMAGE SUIT.
Mrs. Anna Hall Loses Verdict by
Direction of the Court,

CHARLESTON. w. Va. March l.
Judge E. E. Dyer, in circuit court here
today, directed the jury to bring in
g. verdict for the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, defendant, in the
action of Mrs. Anna Hall, who sued to
recover $4,000 damages alleged to have
been Sustained when she was shot dur
ing the miners strike last year. Judge
Dyer, after hearing testimony the
greater part of the week, decided the
plaintiff had not made out a case and
told the Jury that if it found otherwise
1t would be necessary for him to set
aside the finding.
Mrs. Hall alleged she had been shot
in both legs from the armored train
which passed up the Paint Creek
branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad the night of February Z, 1913.
This was the first of a number of
similar actions growing out of the bat
tie of Holly Grove.
