LONDON. = The Petroqras
correspondent of the Daily Mail
sends the following regarding
the fighting in Russia:
"The Germans are astonished
and disheartened to always find
themselves pitted against fresh
troops, full of energy. The Sc
cret of this lies in the Russian
plan Of keeping an immense re-
serve for every army, changing
regiments frequently, and never
leaving the same men on the
firing line long enough to be-

vastness of the Russian EN-
peroTs army Of 100000 men
is beginning to show a marked
influence on the campaign"

Frenchman's invention of Much Bene-

Places OF the Earth.

Count Bertrand de Lessups, son or
the famous Frenchman of Suez canal
fame, has constructed an air-propelled
machine which is capable OF attaining
a speed of from fifteen to sixty miles
an hour over the snow, according to
the condition OF the frozen roads. The
shoe-shaped chassis is attached to
broad, fiat metal runners, and vibra-
ton is reduced to a minimum by the
addition OF strong springs. The pro-
peller behind the pilot IL well guard
ed by a metal screen as a protection
against any one approaching 1t close
ly. When snow falls wheels are placed
on the PROJECTING pins, which lift the
ski from the ground, and the car will
then attain a speed of nearly one hun
dred miles an hour. Some such ma
chine as this Is to be taken into the
Antarctic regions by Shackleton with
his forthcoming expedition. Abroad
this form of amusement is called aero
skiing.

Forthwith, Resale moved a major

Miss Estrilla's room. She was behav-
