OF course shells fall in this village
where am writing, where we rest, but
we can go another half mile or so to
the rear and be entirely out of the dan
ger zone. People are living there
again as before the war. They hear
the distant roar of cannon, but the
noise becomes a habit. Anyone who
wants a fine reproduction of the front
when firing is going on-not a battle
but the ordinary firing-has only to go
to some big construction work in New
York, where he will hear exactly what
we hear every day.
The blasting initiates the nnon
the hammer striking the steel girder
gives the rifle shot, a steel girder
when dropped reproduces a cannon

markable imitation is the hydraulic

a workman bores holes in steel. This
instrument exactly initiates a machine
gun in action. If l ever get back to

TAKES 20 MEN TO SAVE DOG
Dynamite, Too, Used to Rescue Ami
NAL From Cave Into Which He
Had Fallen.

Newton, N. Ut took 20 men and a
blast of dynamite to free Bob, a fox.
hound, from a cave near here. The
dog, owned by Robert Washer, got
into the cave through a small crevice
while fox hunting with his master.
Then he couldn't get out.
Washer worked at the mouth of the
cave all afternoon, but couldn't open
the way for the animal to get out. The
next day he tried dynamite, as large
a charge as he dared to use without
endangering the dogs life, but the
blast only loosed some of the stones at
the mouth of the crevice. The follow
ing day, however, a score of workers
brought crowbars to bear on the rocks
and pried them far enough apart to
free Bob from his three days impris-
onment.

Their Great Scheme.

A local couple, recently married, hit
upon a scheme for saving what they
figured was Just about right. Each
month they would save a certain sum
each day. The first day one cent, the
second day two cents, third four cents.
Each day the amount was to be doubled
until the end of 80 days. By that time
they would have a tidy sum laid away
Before starting the husband fig.
ured out just how much would be ac-
cumulated in this way. After labori.
Gus work he found the amount to be
something like 5 5000, 900, so after con
sidering the matter they decided that
one dollar a week would be about
their speed.-Youngstown Telegram.

Boom In Alarm Clocks.

Merchants here report a rising mar.
ket for alarm clocks. The board of
education is to blame, and children
of school age are in the lead as pur.
chasers.
Last year school used to open at
9:15 in the morning. Then there was
a protest against making the pupils
attend chapel, so the time for these
services was fixed at nine o'clock,
while those who did not wish to attend
chapel came in at 9:15.
Then chapel time was fixed at $3.50
and the opening Of the study session
at nine. Now the time has been fixed
at 8:45, and there is chapel only one
day a week.-Freeport (R. ~ Dispatch

BLooDH0UNDS ON THE TRAIL
But It Turned Out to Be a J%ackrahblt's
and Not the Escaped
Convict's.

San Rafael. Cal.-Posses are comb.
ing the slopes of Mount Tamalpais for
races of two man-trailing blood
hounds, the property of Frank H. de
Pue, which were last seen with their
foaming jaws close to the heels of a
jackrabbit.
De Pue received word a few days
ago that Peter Tosti, who escaped
from San Quentin, was hiding up in
the hills back of Corte MADEIRA. Up in
a deep ravine he ~unleashed the
hounds. A moment later their forms
were outlined against the sky as they
raced in the rear of the rabbit, which
led them into oblivion on the other
side of the slope.

uous by its long venue of ficus
(called in Spanish "higuera"), sturdy
trees, with gnarled stems, bare up to
a height of about ten feet and then
spreading u into a thick, bushy top.
These tops have all been trimmed to
a cylindrical shape, and as the trees
are of very even growth the effect is
neat and regular to a degree. This is
not by any means the only venue of
trees in Guayaquil, but 1t is the best
and most remarkable.
h chief business in Guayaquil is,
of course, the export of cacao, for
Ecuador is one of the greatest pro-
ducers of this valuable food product
in the world, the welfare of the city,
and, indeed, of the whole country de-
pending almost entirely on the cacao
crop and the market. Most of the
firms engaged in this trade have their
offices and warehouses on or near the
Malecon above the Gale Nueve de Oc-
tubre, conveniently situated for receiv-
ing the product from the river craft
that bring 1t down from the interior
and for shipping it away to Europe
and America, while the broad streets
serve as drying grounds for the red
dish-brown beans.
Guayaquil is particularly well pro-
vided with public squares and open
spaces such as the Plaza Bolivar, con-
tanning a fine bronze equestrian statue
of the great libertador, the Plaza Ped
70 Carlo, ear the MERGED church.
and the Plazas Montalvo, Rocafuerte,
and Sucre. All of these are well kept
and bright with roses, many colored
crotons, and other tropical plants, be-
sides having excellent bronze statues
of men celebrated in the history of
the country.
The city has an excellent street car
system, partially electrified, with lines
running across and from end to end
of the town through all the principal
streets. 1t is well worth the visitors
while to make a trip along the Gale
Industrial, leading from the center of
the city southwark to the district

DEMAND FOR GLASS IS BIG
Great Britain Orders Supply in This
Country for Use in Barrack
Windows.

Kane, Pa.-For the first time in his.
tory practically every window glass
plant in this section will operate
through the summer season. Some of
the plants may be compelled to cease
operations for six or eight weeks for
repairs, but will resume operation as
soon as they are completed.
The great activity Of the window
glass trade is due TO the war, the de-.
mand for glass for export shipments
being the greatest in history. Much of
the glass is being shipped to London,
where it is being used for temporary
barracks in training camps. Before the
outbreak of the war Great Britain de-
pended almost entirely on Germany
and Belgium for glass.

GOATS AS FIRE FIGHTERS
Herd of 1000 to Help Uncle Sam
Keep Firebreaks Open in Ma
tional Reserves.

San Francisco.-Give a goat a
chance and he makes a first class fire
fighter. In recognition of his efficiency
the United States forest service an
nounces that tho secretary of agricul.
ture has just authorized the free graz.
ing of 1000 goats in the national re-
serves of California, together with a
bonus to their owners for handling
them.
Cutting wide trails known as fire
breaks, across which brush fires can
not jump, is a standard method of
fire prevention. The trouble is that
each year there recurs at heavy cost
the problem of cleaning out the trails.
Turn loose a herd of hungry goats
and a goat is always hungry-and
they soon will crop the underground
short and clean.

Fred Stone, a New Yorker, has been

A later letter says:
This is my birthday. Heavy snow

day as we were on our way to the
shooting trenches from the sugar re-
tnery on the canal, where we had all
taken hot shower baths, l was think
ing of writing to ask you to send us

no wonder we all got baseball fever.

You may think the idea of baseball
here is crazy, but why not? The Eng
fish play football in the rear of the
lines. Do not forget that this war is
the most remarkable war in many 9TH
er ways than it's size. 1t has been
pointed out often enough that the
firing line is 200 miles in length, but
not much attention has been paid to its
width. Its depth is so comparatively
Insignificant that we can play ball if
we will when out of the trenches.

where the chief local manufacturers
and shipbuilding yards are located, for
Guayaquil has many other industries
besides those directly connected with
the AGA trade.
Close to Equator But Cool.
Although Guayaquil is only about
two degrees south of the equator the
climate is very much cooler than
might be expected, the dry season,
lasting from May to December, being
the best part of the year. Visiting the
city during the month of August the
writer found the days agreeably cool
and the nights almost cold; even dur
ing the hottest part of the day. from
noon to four o'clock, a cloth suit
could be worn without any discomfort.
This surprising GOODNESS is due to the
effect of the Humboldt current, a
stream of cold water from the Ant
arctic regions that, flowing northward
along the west coast of South Ameri-
ca, makes a considerable reduction in
the temperature.
Most advantageously situated for
both interior and exterior commerce,
with a large area of fertile country
behind it and a deep, wide river lead
ing to the open sea in front, Guaya-
quill is a city to be reckoned with in
South American commerce, while it's
wide streets, fine buildings, and dis
tinctive air cannot fail to make a fav-
orable impression on the visitor. 1t
is not only a city with a great future
but also a city with a we'll developed
and very decided present, all ready
and fully prepared for vast increases
In its trade.

COMMERCIAL,
wv CAPITAL

UAYAQUlL, the largest port
~ and the chief commercial city
N of Ecuador, is located on the
M west bank of the River Guayas.
about seventy miles from the
sea, in a splendid situation, at the end
of deep-water navigation, and at the
confluence of a number of rivers that
spread over much of the country that
lies to the westward of the Andes,
says a writer in the Pan American
Magazine.
Rounding a bend in the river we
pass a number of shipbuilding yards
and factories, and then, as our steam
er slowly draws up to her anchorage,
the whole of the busy water front is
revealed to our view like the unrolling
OF a scene in a panorama. Backed by
low hills, the city lies on a piece of
level ground in an open and beautiful
situation, stretching for several miles
by the side of the river, which is at
this point more than a mile wide and
deep enough for steamers of consider
able size. The whole of the water front
is occupied by jetties and piers, where.
craft of many different types load and
discharge their cargoes, the twin
spires of the cathedral and numerous
churches stand up, white and cleaning
above the roofs of the houses, fine
buildings face the water, and on a
wide thoroughfare between them and
he water streams of traffic pass to
and fro.
The first impression of Guayaouil
Is that it is a large and busy place,
with considerable local and foreign
trade-an impression that is fully con-
irmed by closer acquaintance. The
city is laid out in squares with streets
running parallel to the river inter-
sected by others at right angles to it.
buildings are large and in good style,
and there is a general air of business
like activity. The streets, well cam
bered and paved with blocks of gray
stone, are remarkably wide, many Of
them are lined with trees, and the
whole city has been laid out in accor-
