Though scientific progress has made
it possible to do a double Journey be

which it takes years to communicate.
Of the scottish coast are the
groups of islands known as the He

these the most isolated island is st.

miles broad The inhabitants lead
lives of great loneliness, for it takes
a month to get to the next island, and
the sea often makes any communica-

months.

WITH TRAGEDY IN HIS MIND

Smithson said a thunderstorm al

said it happened when their FIRST baby
was only two months old so he might
be pardoned If his solicitude exceeded
his sober judgment. He was at his Of

derstorm broke which crashed enough
to brighten anyone, so when the phone
rang and his wife's voice TREMENDOUSLY
asked: George, dear, can you come
home right away?" he said, yes"
quickly, nor paused to question, but
frantic with misgivings, grabbed his
hat and almost ran through town to
his home.
Arriving all breathless. he found his
wife awaiting him on the porch, her
face the very picture of distress.
Rushing up to her he said anxious

A San Franciscan, who had been
hunting in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe
without bagging any game, came upon

Gagged wildcat he had caught the day
before.
How much will you take for that
beast?" he asked
The captor said IS, and the money
was paid over.
Now" said the Nimrod, tie one
end of a strong cord to that tree and
another to the cats neck, and then
open the door of the cage"
This was finally accomplished and
the fierce animal stood straining at its
tether.
The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from the interior of the
cabin, leveled his rife across the win
dow sill, took careful aim and blazed

and disappeared in the forest. The

The Russian aerial corps, hereto
fore considered a negligible quantity,
has covered itself with glory. 1t is
announced that military aviators,
carrying staff officers, have flown far
into the interior of both Germany and
Austria. High explosives have been
dropped on military storehouses and
the general topography of the country,
and the secret Notifications, have been
accurately mapped.
The main invasion of Austria is
through the Styr river valley. Sweep
ing successes are reported in this sec
ton. The army has penetrated 80
miles inland. in the general direction
of Lemburg, capital of Galicia. Practi-
cally continuous fighting has occurred,
with the war Office claiming a sweep
ing victory at Krasne, only 80 miles
from Lemburg
In this fighting it is declared that
an Austrian division was completely
routed, and that II guns and more
than 1900 prisoners We're taken. The
Russians are reported as following uD
their advance and TO be pushing on
toward Lemburg.
Story Of German Occupation.
otterdam--Details of the German
occupation Thursday of Brussels were
received Friday.
Burgomaster Max met the detach-
ment of German cavalry which enter
ed the city via the Louvain gate. He
carried white flag.
The commander expressed friendli-
ness and promised if the inhabitants
of Brussels made no attempt at re-
sistance, that no harm should come
to the city or it's people.
In the afternoon German officers
occupying an automobile crossed

to the city hall. while detachments
of Germans went through various
parts of the city.
The telegraph Office and railway
station were closed for the greater
part of the day. Many of the inhab-
itants of Brussels are leaving for
Client and Ostend
The general opinion is that the Ger
mans will only pass through the city,
or, at the most, make a very short
stay there. So far only cavalry
detachment is there.
The only signs of animation in the
place are caused by the arrival Of
peasants, who are abandoning the
surrounding villages.
The German troopers have estab.
lished themselves on the shootinI
