the coffin, II there was one, covered
over with stones which have been
heaped up 20 a height Of four or five
feet Then some yards, away there Is
a f1agpole on which Old Glory waves
to the strong breezes, and in a slightly
protected shelf fifteen or twenty feet
below the summit, Is a rough shack,
used as Federal weather observatory,
and also as a shelter for visitors who
find it necessary or desirable to spend
the night on the mountain. Cots and
blankets are available and also food
may be had at reasonable cost.
The view from the mountain, Of
course, is fine. With a strong glass 1t
is possible to pick out numerous towns
and cities, follow the lines Of the rail-
roads, trace the Toe and other rivers,
and make out numerous other peaks.
1t Is a familiar but somewhat curious
fact that many Of the surrounding
mountains appear to be higher than
Mt. Mitchell, and except for the fact
that the altitude Of all the mountains
in the surrounding country has been
definitely established by the United
States Typographical survey, there
would still be dispute on the question
that cost Dr. Mitchell his life.
Some miles distant from Mt. Mitch
ell there Is another mountain that
seems taller and on top Of 1t Is high
tower. People in the party explained
that there was a certain crank who
had always contended that this noun
tain was higher than Mitchell, and
when the typographical survey es-
tablished his error he erected the
tower to emphasize his contention.
The result, however. has been to fur
ther vindicate Mitchell.
It Is common to hear people in the
mountains say that Mitchell was
named in honor Of DR.. Elisha Mitchell
because the "Loctor was the first man
to climb to the top Of It," That is an
error. Dr. Mitchell was native Of
Litchfield, Connecticut, where he was
born in 1893. He was graduated from
Yale in 1913, and in 1918 became be-
came professor Of mathematics in the
University Of North Carolina. Later
he was ordained by the Presbytery Of
Orange and became a preacher. For a
number Of years he was state survey
or end while so employed, he ascer-
tanned that the mountains Of western
North Carolina were the highest east
Of the Mississippi river. This was
about 1880. His statements provoked
much controversy, and in 1857, he went
back into the mountains to prove his
statements. A storm overlook him
on top Of Mt. Mitchell and while
trying to go down in the night he
slipped and fell into pool where he
was drowned. His body was found by
Tom Wilson, famous bear hunter,
who had previously acted as his guide.
Wilson and others had been to the top
Of the mountain many a time pre-
viously; but of course they knew
nothing Of the important matters that
were Of such interest to DR.. Mitchell.

ed hero during the fighting around
Ypres is told by Prof. ]. H. Morgan
who summed up in the Bryce report
on German atrocities. He has just
returned to London. He says:
There was a sergeant who had lost
his nerve and had been sentenced by
court martial to five years penal SER
vitude for cowardice. Before the SEN
tence could be carried out the Prus-
sian guard made their famous attempt
to break through our line, and the
sergeant, in the fighting which ensued
fought with such bravery that but for
being nominally under arrest at the
time, he would have been awarded the
Victoria Cross. AS 1t was, his SEN
tence was quashed, and the incident
was responsible for the passage Of a
new act Of parliament, by which a
sentence on a soldier may be suspend
ed and the man given an opportunity
Of redeeming his character"

GERMANS GOT THE IRON ORE
French Territory Held by Invaders
Rich in Iron.

French territory 1eld py InVaoeTs
Rich in Iron.
More than fifteen million Of the
16,50O,000 tons Of iron ore produced
annually in France, worth about 81
million francs, comes from the de-
partment of the Meuthe and Moselle
occupied by the Germans, says re-
cent dispatch from Paris. Three and
a half million tons of the 100000
tons of pig iron produced in France
annually also comes from those re-
gions, and 100000 of the 3,5O0,00O
tons annual production Of steel. Seven
ty-four per cent of the French iron in
dustries. therefore, are immobilized.
A great deal of the information con-
cerning the fate of French industries
behind the German lines is anony-
nous. Privately, however, the report
that every machine that can be utilized
in Germany has been taken, as well
as all the money and products of the
occupied regions, has been verified by
reliable manufacturers who have
means Of communication that they are
careful not to reveal. The usual Ger
man system was applied to the dis
tribution of the machines. A stock
company of German manufacturers
managed this part of the economic
war. This company sent engineers tc
Belgium and northern France to select
such machines as might be worth
taking. These were shipped to Co
logne and a complete catalogue was
printed and sent to German manu-
factories, offering them at prices
