we're soaked we'll in the last two
days, caused the unusual sight Of
steam arising from many housetops.

PARIS, Nov. 16.-How an unnamed lieutenant-colonel in the French army stifened the courage of his men and his own, when they were about to charge the enemy for the first time, IS told ia the Figaro. The Colonel wound ed, but convalescent, is decribed as re- lating the anecdote on the train as follows:
 It was in the course of one of the numerous battles on our right wing. For the first time my regiment was about to go under fire. The moment was decisive; the regiment had their battle formation and now it was necessary, over open ground, to march straight and resolutely at the enemy. Their fire was hot, and already had produced ravagcs in our ranks. It was scourging. I had taken my posi- ton at the head of the regiment and given the order forward but, separa- ted from their base, my men hesitated In vain repeated the command. Then returning toward them I said:
 What? You finch? All you will gain out of this turnabout is death on the spot without having been of any use. Attention! Take my arm one of you, and all of you lock arms, and arm in arm, gun in hand, we'll advance. You'll find that's not so bad
 "My word! the idea decided them, and arm in arm we started forward They soon got warmed up and for a little I was nearly forced to hold them back. Oh! the brave fellows!
 A lady who was standing said:
 Ut was fortunate, colonel, that you yourself were not afraid" Not afraid" exclaimed the Colonel. "oh, madam if you knew what shivers went through me. But when saw them hesitate, I had to set an example. l was blufiing."

 England has constructed a more formidable weapon than the German howitzer. It is Mallet's mortar, which was built for use in the Crimea War but not completed in time to go into the siege. The mortar is now at Wool ich arsenal.

 Lutheran hymns are popular not only in the Wesleyan Methodist church which is allied to Lutheranism' but also in the Church of England, which regards itself as a part of tht ancient Catholic church and not a part of the reformation.
 Since the Wagner nights excite as much enthusiasm as ever in the Queens Hall concerts, it is not be- lieved that the agitation against Ger man hymns will find strong fol- lowing.

If German hymns were banned, the English hymnal would be deprived of some of its oldest and most popular numbers. Luther's famous version of the 46th psalm, "A Sure Stronghold our God is He," would be perhaps the most. regretted of all excisions. Other familiar numbers of German origin are "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" "Sun of my Soul, my Savior dear;" Christ whose Glory fills the Skies;" "As with Gladness Men of Old;" Christ the Lord is risen again" "We plough the Fields and scatter" Hail

LONON, Nov. 16.-The announce ment of the Lord Chief justice that barristers who are now serving in the kings army may appear in court in their uniforms, rather than in their customary white wigs and gowns, has produced a great change in the ap- pearance of the pleaders who attend the daily sessions of courts at The Temple.
 Scores of young attorneys are uni versity men who have entered the ser vice but are still quartered in London or it's vicinity. It would be a great hardship to them to sacrifice the time necessary to put on conventiOnal-court garb, and the action of the Lord Chief Justice makes it possible for many young attorneys to look after their pratice notwithstanding the demands of their military offices.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-Although the big guns used by the Germans have been the surprise of the war and are accredited with having caused the fall of Liege, Namur and Antwerp, some military experts in England question the wisdom of carrying such weapons into the field, regarding them as burden which an army cannot afford to transport.
 Colonel r. N. Maude, discussing the heavy guns, says in The Standard;
 "It would be interesting to obtain tbo exact facts and calculate what the policy of taking the 42 centi-meter and 2S ceuti-meter howitzers into the field really cost the Germans in loss of transport power for the food Of the troops. I am willing to grant 'h"' the 42-centi meter weapon was ad- mirably adapted for it's purpose or destroying steel and concrete targets presented by the forts of Liege and Namur. But seeing that the weight of one of the shells is nearly equal to the weight of whole square meal for one of their battaliOns, would not the available horsepower, whether mecha- nical or actual, have been far better employed in hauling food for men to the front in the first instance?"
 Military experts writing for the English press say that big guns are not really a novelty. The new feature is their general use in the recent cam paigns. Heavy guns were tried in

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

Rodman Wanamaker has financed
Glenn Curtiss' experimental flight
across the Atlantic. That goes a long
way toward removing the undertaking
from the realm OF the imagination.
With the enterprise financed by such
hard headed business man as the
one mentioned we are dealing with
reality
The clrt dmstance does not lessen the
difficulties in the way Of success, but
IL does provide for overcoming them
as far as human judgment and precau-
ton can extend. Basing calculations
on the longest fight so far made an
approximately correct idea Of the re-
quireraents of continuous flight
across the Atlantic can be obtained.
The quantity of gasoline required,
the engine reliability and the durabil-
ity Of construction can be closely cal
culated. The atmospheric conditions
TO be encountered are among the un-
certainties The distance being known,
500 miles between the Irish and
Newfoundland coasts. and the average
rate OF speed being susceptible Of cal
culation, the effort will be TO construct
machine that will fly certain num-
| Der Of hours as a minimum.
| Curtiss and Wanamaker hope to
construct a machine that will make the
1 trip in fifteen hours. That will be at
the rate of 125 miles an hour. a by no
means impossible speed. and it should
| be possible to provide sufficient gaso-
line storage room for continuous
| flight of that duration. though it has
never been done before.
f, Though a risky undertaking it look s.
! much less dangerous than it would
have looked a few years ago. The
public is gaining confidence in the
