A distressing feature of the fighting
in Poland is that of blood kindred
pitted against each other There are
several hundred thousand Poles in the
Russian ranks, and several hundred
thousands more in the ranks OF the
Germans and Austrians.
The Germans claim a distinct gain
in their position in northern Poland,
although they are not believed to De
as near to Warsaw as the report of
last week indicated.
On the other hand the Russians an
nounce strategic realignment of their
forces in that field which strengthens
their position.
In late report tonight the Austrians
announce that they have reoccupied the
important point of Dukla, to the north
of the Carpathians. ON line south of
Przemysl and Cracow but nearer to the
former, with the capture of 5000 prison.
ers.
The main issue in the eastern theatre
of the yar-whether the German and
Austrian armies by the German opera
lions in northern and central Poland and
the Austrian advance across the Carpa-
thians, with shake the Russian grip from
the Przemysl and Cracow fortresses-
remains unchanged.
The day has shown no important devel-
opment in the western theatre. The
French war Office reports artillery en-
gagements in which they had the better
of the Germans and small advances at
various points, particularly in the neigh
borhood of Verdun and ST. Mihiel, in ac-
cordance with Gen. Joffres famous
scheme of 'nibbling at Them" but the
German bulletins deny these claims.
The troops in France and Belgium are
suffering a plague of mud and damp
which causes them greater discomfort
than did the cold wave at the end of
November, with it's positive hardships of
frozen feet and hands. and effectually
yetoes any movements on big scale.
Life in the trenches of the Allies is easie
than before, since they have been rein
forced, so that they do not have to spend
more than two days on the firing line,
whereas last month they were without
rest for week or more at a time.
The Turkish army has not yet asserted
itself. nor has it engaged in any great
battle. Enver Pasha has taken command
of the Caucasian army and Talaat Bey
has succeeded him as minister of war.
A report comes from Turkey of growing
hostility 10 both foreign and native
Christians, which may lead to attacks
upon them.

stopped by the King, who, having
noticed his medal made many inquiries
as to how it had been obtained and at
the same time expressed a hope that
the wearer was happy and comfort
able in his present quarters.
Since the days of the Crimea medals
have been issued in connection with
nearly every British engagement in
all parts of the empire, and mere list
of them would suffice to fill a volume.
The last extensive award of medals
was for the South African campaign,

Composition Of Marine Rocks.

That many rocks which are now
raised far above sea level were once
marine sediments. and that living or
ganisms contributed to their formation
are among the commonplaces of geol-
ogy. 1t ts also known that radiolarians,
'diatoms, and sponges form siliceous de-
posts; that calcareous rocks are de-
rived in part from coraIs and mollusks;
and that crustacean and vertebrate re-
mains are largely phosphate. These
facts are established in a broad general
way, but they are being studied in
greater detail. so that the function Of
each class of organisms may be more
exactly known. An investigation of
this kind is reported IN Professional
Paper 90. The composition Of crinoid
skeletons, by F. w. Clarks and w. c..
Wheeler. just published by the United
States Geological Survey.
Crinoid remains are abundant in
manly limestones, and their composition
was therefore worth determining.
Twenty-four specimens of living forms
were analysed and their skeletons were
found to have the composition of a
moderately magnetism limestone. In
other words. the remains Of crinoids
contribute magnesia to the marine sedi-
merits. their content in magnesium car
Donate ranging between and IA per
cent. Curiously. however, the crinoids
from cold waters run low in magnesia,
whereas those from warm waters run
high. Such a relation has never been
observed before.

Thus originated the famous Waterloo
medal, which bears on the diverse a
bust of the Prince Regent and on the
reverse a figure of Victory, the design
of which Is copied from the reverse of
well-known coin of Ellis, struck at
the finest period Of Greek art. When
the distribution of these medals took
place. great dissatisfaction WIS felt by
veterans of similar actions in the
Peninssllar war that their services
should be unrecognized, and 1t would
appear that at the time some efforts
were made to repair this omission.
Nothing, however, was done until 18A7,
when Queen Victoria made amends
for the shortcomings Of her predeces-
sors and ordered what Is now known
as the war medar' to be conferred
upon officers and men who had taken
part in the wars from 1893 to 1914
Many different bars are associated
with it, including such well-known
names as Badajos. Salamanca, &C.
In 1854 Queen Victoria commanded
that a medal bearing the word Crimea
should be conferred upon all those
who had taken part in the campaign
Alma and Inkerman were the nrs'
names to be inscribed upon the clasps
associated with this medal, and these
were followed later on by Balaclavs
