HOW SMITH GOT BACK.

Senator Charles T. Townsend of Michigan smiled when reference was made to somnambuhsm. He said he was reminded of story along that line.
 A man named Jones was talking 10 his friend Brown one night, when the latter casually mentioned Smith. a mutual acquaintance.
 Makes me think of an experience Smith had few weeks ago." laughed Jones. "He dreamed that he was an Indian, and getting out of bed, he wrapped a blanket around himself and started to walk through the woods. Woke up about three hours later and found himself ten miles from home and no car fare in sight. !"
 You don't mean it?" was the amazed rejoinder of Brown. "How in the world did he get back ?"
 "Fhat was easy" was the cheerful reply of Jones. He lay down under a tree, dreamed that he was an h. dian again and walked back" Philadelphia Telegraph.

Bones of Cave Animal Found in La Brea Fields in California Amaze
 Scientists.

Frank s. Daggett, director of the museum of history, science and art at Exposition park, Los Angeles, announced that La Brea fields. where discoveries of the remains of prehistoric life have startled the scientific world, are not exhausted, as reported several months ago.
 Daggett reported that the com- plete remains of cave bear have been discovered in one of the most recent excavations. The animal in life was more than one-third larger than the largest grizzly bear of the present day, and the specimen when mounted will rank with the mounted skeletons of the imperial elephant and the ancient human discovered months ago.
 According to Daggett the cave bear ust found became buried in the asphalt pits of La Brea fields d quarter of million years ago.

 Affiliated

Nearly all the soldiers belonging to European armies have to carry about with them in the field a kit which ranges in weight from aS 10 6l pounds.
 The equipment that the different soldiers carry about with them is very similar. It generally comprises a rifle and bayonet, with rags and so on for keeping them clean, an in- trenching tool, and, of course, a number of rounds of ammunition. Then there are the various articles of clothing with changes, and a first aid outfit All the soldiers with one exception carry a knife, fork and spoon, water bottle and mcss-tin.
 The Russians, who are the excep- tion. carry d wooden spoon only, which they keep in their boots There Is also d supply of food carried. and generally one CT two reserve or emer- gency rations. Together with an overcoat, and the knapsack and simi- lar accoutrements, the load to be carried is a considerable one.
 The Russians carry most, the weight working out at 6l pounds, while the British, French and Ger mans come next in order. carving weights of #, II and 3S pounds re- spectiyely.

The dock of concentration" at Antwerp was. by the action of the city authorities just prior to the declaration war. to have been d reality in 1916. The plan, conceived ten years ago, Is to concentrate at one great dock all the grain barges which serve as warehouses. and the floating elevators which furnish the business to Antwerp's 300 grain houses. These elevators. with eight new ones voted last year. are l2 in number and are owned by the municipality. They are pneumatic with a lift of 100 feet and one cares for a cargo of 5000 tons in about three days which for merlv detained vessel there for 14 days when hand labor was employed.
