Accuracy First.

Far down in the basement is a ma
chine of particular interest to astron-
omers and scientists. It is the cele-
brated dividing engine. which makes
it possible, to the delight of mathema-
ticians, to divide a circle accurately,
even to within one second OF arc
surprising the records of all previous
dividing engines. This degree of ac-
curacy was accomplished after years
of experiments in a room heated to
so degrees, or as near as practicable to
the heat of the body of the operator,
for even breath might interfere with
the tiny scratches on the silver bands
of the revolving disk.-An Afternoon
with Ambrose Swasey, by Joe Mitchell
Chapple, in National Magazine.

WHITE HOUSE TO BE QUIET
No Social Life for the Bereaved Presi-
dents FamiIy-Embarrass
Is Thus Avoided.

Washin gton.-The usual time for is
suing the dates of official dinners and
receptions at the White House having
passed, it is understood that these af-
fairs will not be held this year be-
cause of the death Of Mrs. Wilson. By
abandoning the formal dinners and
receptions for the season the Presi-
dent has avoided what officials say
would have been an embarrassing sit
uation. A dinner and a reception have
always been given in honor of the
diplomatic corps. At present, how
ever, the representatives here of Great
Britain, France, Russia and Japan are
not on speaking terms with those III
Germany, Austria-Hungary and Tur-
key.

Veterinarians.

Chicago.-Veterina at work at
the stock yards to prevent the spread
of the foot and mouth disease among
cattle are apparently holding their
own. Four new cases we're discovered
among the blooded dairy herds
brought here for the National Dairy
Show and caught by the epidemic
The first of the blooded cattle to be
taken with the ailment are now recov-
ering rapidly, according to DR.. o. E.
Dyson, state veterinarian, and Dr.
Charles Hughes, president of the Chi
cago Veterinaries, who examined the
animals which were kept alive for
treatment and study.

Reluctantly the conscientious wife

RUSSIANS ADVANCE
Official Reports State They Have
Invaded German East Prussia
NO Real Change in the
North of France.
Summary Of EUents.O

1t is officially announced in
London that the German cruiser
Emden has been driven ashore on
Cocos island, in the Indian ocean,
and burned. It also was official
~ announced that the German
cruiser Koenigsberg, which dis
abled the British cruiser Pegasus
some weeks ago, has been bottled
up at Malta island, on the coast
of German East Africa, by the
blocking of the channel to the
harbor The British cruiser Chat
ham chased the Koenigsberg to
cover. The Emden was destroyed
by the Australian cruiser Sydney.
Emden Died Game.
These two raiders, especially the
Emden, have many successes to their
credit and their skill in evading the
net thrown out for them has been a
matter Of chagrin to British naval
men
The Emden's end came in battle as
beftted her record throughout recent
history for, according to all accounts,
even those of her victims, she played
a clean game, strictly in accordance
with the recognized rules of naval
warfare
Marshes Hold Back Allies
The foundations in Flanders which
prevented the Germans from making
their way along the coast in their
efforts to reach Calais, are now prov
ing equally unfavorable to the allies,
who are finding it impossible to pro-
coed through these marshy regions.
The Germans have been obliged to
evacuate Middelkerka on the coast,
halfway between Newport and Ostend
and this point has not yet been occu-
pied by the Allies.
Allies Hold Line Firmly.
At the end of two weeks of contin-
uous fighting the Allies line from the
sea to the Aisne remains firm in the
face of the German attack The Al
lies even appear to have succeeded in
advancing their positions slightly.
This military experts declare is cred
liable, in view of the great Importance
attached by the German general staff
to throwing the allied forces back on
the coast, as is shown by the heavy
sacrifices they are willing to make to
attain this object.
Germans Out of Poland.
All Russian territory is now cleared
of Germans. TE.S is the claim of the
Russian war office, as additional re-
ports arrive telling of the mighty
sweep of the forces of the czar as they
press onward into East Prussia, Posen
and Galicia. With heavy SHOWS hav-
ing already fallen in the north, the
Russian transport divisions are now
equipped with sledges. The cavalry
is reported to have pierced the left
German flank at Konin

stubbornly in the region of Lyck, has

Have Best War HOSPITAL.

The Red Cross hospital of 200 beds
near Torquay, established by Ameri-
