BERLIN, (via wireless TO Sayville,
l.. l., Nov. 24l-WhiIe the eyentfa
victory OF the Austro-German troops
In the eastern theater OF war, Is con-
fidently expected as ever. Official re-
ports from German and Austrian
headquarters today make II appear
that decision will not come as soon
as had been expected. While the ad-
vance of the new Russian troops from
Warsaw delays the final result, the
Austrians announce they have aban-
doned several passes In the Car
pathians to superior hostile forces.
The Russians investing Przemysl
have been driven back. The tremen-
dous extent OF the battles raging in
the east is evident from the fact that
the approximate positions OF the ex-
IRENE north and south armies shows
the contest along front extending
over 400 miles.
PARIS, Nov. z4-While vigorous
attacks upon the allied lines are be-
ing made along the Aisne apd In the
Argonne, heavy German reinforce
ments are moving through Belgium to-
ward the west.
II is accepted here that another
desperate attempt OF the forces OF the
kaiser TO hack their way through the
British and French lines is about 10
be made There Is, as yet, nothing TO
indicate where the blow Will fall.
Heavy Krupp guns are being rushed
toward the front in great numbers.

TAKING Up italian.

Now that German is being ousted
from the curriculum of some of Eng
lands secondary schools, possibly
Italian may be inserted In it's place.
Such an alteration would have been
cordially welcomed by Gladstone. "a
favorite topic with Mr.. Gladstone"
writes the present head master of
Elton, "was the preference in English
education of German to Italian. He
used to deplOre it, saying that when
he read Dante he felt that he was in
the hands of master, but that the
Germans had produced no first-rate
literature. Sometimes his interlocu-
tor would object that Goethe was a
first-rate writer. The rejoinder was
Certainly not. Goethe created a
world without any conception Of
duty Sometimes a discussion would
arise on this point, but never heard
that it reached any conclusion."-Pall
Mall Gazette.

Before New Orleans Battle,

One hundred years ago the British
naval forces were beginning to rem
devious in the Gulf of Mexico, prepar-
atory to the campaign before New Or
leans. Seen the calm waters of the
gulf we're to be the scene of a great
gathering Of men-of-war flying the
British flag. al the vessels of Ad-
miral Cockburns fleet, recently en-
gagged in the Chesapeake bay opera
tions, were on their way to the gulf,
together with other warships, trans
ports and schooners, to the number
of so vessels. At the head of the
fleet was the big warship Tonnant,
carrying the flag of Admiral Cock
burn. On board the transports were
1000 soldiers, who were TO take part
in the expedition against the southern
city, and who were now in high good
humor at the prospect of escaping the
hardships OF winter campaign in
the North.

Transmitting Light by Wirs.

Deputy Consul General Carl z. Loop
Of London reports that DR.. Archibald
II. Low, a consulting engineer,
claims to have discovered a novel
method for transmitting light by wire.
the continuance including a transmit
ter, a receiver, and connecting wire,
with the transmitter a screen divided
into a large number of selenium cells
whose electrical resistance varies ac=
cordirg to the light striking it.
A spontaneously running roller is
passed over the screen and includes
q number of alternating conductors
and insulators, motor driving the
rollers at high sped.
The invention is referred to by the
inventor as a kineomatographic APP
plication of common electrical prin-
ciples, and while it has been tested to
the equivalent of four miles, the In
ventcr sees no reason why it should
not be effective for greater dis
tances.

Safeouardino Wounds.

In the course of a letter urging the
immediate adoption of compulsory an
tityphoid incubation in the British
army, Sir AlmrOth e. Wright says that
the British army and navy and the
French military hospitals have al
ready been supplied with 100000 doses
of an "antisepsis' vaccine, which it
is believed will be of great value in
protecting the wounded from infec-
ton. When a wound heals by first
intention, that is. without suppuration
fthe formation of pus), its seriousness
IS, as rule, much diminished. xppar-
emily the antisepsis vaccine tends to
promote this result.

FOR THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE
Some Thoughts Concerning That Time
Of Tribulation Known as "Mov.
ing Day."

On moving day take little IT,
from mother and:
Don't expect to find everything II
it's usual place until the van arrives.
Some teamsters are superstitious
about moving gas range with meal
cooking on top of it.
Don't kick if you can't find the low
err half of your favorite suit. Prob
ably mother is wearing it.
Don't object if mother rolls you out
Of bed in the morning by pulling the
sheet from under you. She has doubt
less packed all the tablecloths.
Don't raise a row if your watch is
missing. The baby has to have some
thing to keep him quiet.
Don't complain if you find your box
of choice cigars nearly empty. The
iceman had to be tipped yesterday for
helping to- move the furniture so
mother could take up the rugs. It's
safe gamble that the grocery boy
will get the rest of them today.
Don't be too fussy about what you
have for breakfast. Tomorrow you
may have to eat what you leave to:
day.
Don't be surprised if you find the
house locked when YOU bring an un:
expected friend home to dinner after
telling mother you will eat down
town yourself. YOU will find the
family at the restaurant around the
corner.
Don't wonder why mother is trihe
irritable when YOU return at midnight
from a pleasant evening at the club,
and find her still on the Job, doing
things she had asked you to do. Some
things get on a woman's nerves.
Don't be annoyed if there is no
answer to your telephone call in the
middle Of the afternoon. The phone
isn't out of order. The children are in
school and mother is out doing. the
errands you promised to attend to and
forgot
Don't grumbie if the dinner looks
rather picked-uppish after you have
said you didn't know whether you
would come home to it or not: InGe=
cision has wrecked greater things
than dinners=Detroit Free. Press:

LIKE THE THREE-CYLINDERs
Latest Idea In Locomotives Is An.
nouneed by Experts to Be Pro-
nounced Success.

At the last annual convention of the
American Railway Master Mechanics
association Mr.. ]. s. Bell read paper
on the subject Of three-cylinder loco
motives, In which he gave particulars
regarding three Of this type which
have been giving good service. The
three cylinders are placed on the same
horizontal plane, one between the
frame and other two exterior to the
frame. They have the same diameter,
1SR inches, and each has its own pis-
ton valve. They have been engaged
for several years In fast passenger SER
vice. where they have been doing very
satisfactory work. Their principal ad-
vantages are that they secure uni.
form turning moment, the cranks be-
Ing placed at 120 degrees; they exert
greater tractive power, and they call
for a lower factor of adhesion than
two-cylinder engines. They are easy
on rails and bridges; afford opportun-
ity for better balancing, and can be
operated on the simple, compound, or
triple.expansion principle.-Scientifio

MAKES coALlNG EASY MATTER
Modern Machinery Loads Tons of Fuel
In Space Of Only a Few
Seconds.

The coalinS Of locomotives at large
terminals, where great many engines
are dispatched, requires the handling
OF large amount OF coal The mod
ern engine carries 15 tons-3O, 900
pounds.
In the early days this coal was ehov-
eled direct from cars, carried into en-
gines by hand In small two-bushel
boxes, or taken direct from mines adj
Joining the main line, but since the
nearby coal deposits have been
worked out and the mines have been
located on spur tracks away from the
main line, coal chutes designed to de-
liver coal in from one to ten ton lots
on the engine tender have been erect
ed at convenient places, usually about
fifty miles apart.
freight trains require coal about
every fifty miles, while passenger
trains usually run 100 miles more with
out taking coal In renewing the old
coaling plants or adapting them to
double track, the Wabash railroad is
erecting modern steel structures hay-
ing 800 tons storage, and SO arranged
as to deliver coal on either the main
tracks or passing tracks, or all, at the
same time. The coal is dumped from
self-clearing cars into q concrete Dit,
where 1t runs by gravity into an eIe-
yator having ton buckets, which are
hoisted by electricity. The whole az.
rangement makes a resourceful and
economical coaling plant, as an engine
can take ten tons of coal in as many
seconds, thus insuring the minimum
stoppages and avoidisg delay to trains.
