BALTIC GIVES SLIP
TO U.BOAT FLEET
Escapes Submarine Ambush by
Sudden Dash TO Sea.

To deceive the German submarine
commanders possibly in waiting for
him along the south coast of Ireland
Captain J. p. Ransom, Of the White
Star liner Baltic, which arrived here
yesterday from Liverpool, put about
after leaving port and went through
the North Channel.
The skipper declined to discuss his
route yesterday, but passengers VINO
were familiar with the movements OF
the ship said that the Baltic steamed
from the Mersey into the Irish Sea,
and after having proceeded about one
hundred miles, changed her course and
went through the North Channel, TAX
ing her westward course for New York
well to the northward of Glasgow.
The Baltic brought over the biggest
consignment of freight that has come
here since the war started. II was a
miscellaneous cargo of 400 tons, made
up chiefly of bottled stout from Eng
land and cocoa, mahogany logs and
rags from Egypt and India. There
were Al saloon. l59 second and 80 third
class passengers.
Shortly before the Baltic docked
word was received from Liverpool that
the White Star liner Adriatic had ar
rived safely, having gone over the
same course taken by the Baltic on
her westward journey.
Il was learned aboard the Baltic that
commanders of the British steamships
have carte blanche in the matter OF
their course, and their trips between
New York and Liverpool will be gov
erned hereafter by the wireless code
messages sent out b. the Admiralty.

The expression "sardonic smile" is as old as Homer It means literally tc grin like a dog" and bears reference to the hideous contortion of the facial muscles produced by eating the sar- donian, a plant of Sicily, which was saM to screw up the face of the eater giving it horrible appearance.

 Mrs. Mary Roach Shea, 7s, widow of Patrick M. Shea, died at her home on Reynolds avenue at Monson last Saturday, Feb. 2Oth, at 4. 30 o'clock. Mrs. Shea had been in poor health for some time and pneumonia developed. causing her death. She was born in Ardmore, County Waterford, Ire. February I, 1886. She came to Mon. son 63 years ago, and had since lived here. She was married to Patrick Shea 60 years ago. She was mem- Der of St. Patrick's church, and also of the rosary and scapular society, and was one of the towns old and respected residents. She is survived by one son, Rev. P. M. Shea of Minnesota and six daughters, Mrs. Richard M. Powers of Norwich, Conn.,, Miss Joanna V. Shea of New York city, Mrs. James Pendergast, Mrs. Nancy L. May and Misses Maria and Della Shea of Monson. The funeral was held at the home Thurs. day morning with solemn requiem high mass at St. Patrick's church. The burial was in the Pearl street cemetery.
 The many Monson friends of Joseph Lannagan, a former resident of the town, were very much surprised We'd nesday to read of his attempted murder of woman in Providence, R. I, which was followed by. his suicide. The Providence account of the tragedy states that MT. Lannagan met MT. and Mrs. John Calvert, and asking Mir. Calvert to step back, drew a revolver hnf Go1r serious wounds. He then began to kick Mrs. Calvert in the head and body. When the woman's husband endeavored to stop him he turned the revolver on himself, causing wounds from which he died while being taken to the hospital. MT. Lannagan lived in Monson for many years with his parents, MT. and Mrs. John Lannagan, and was highly thought of by the people of the town in general. His Monson friends are positive that he surely must have became insane to commit such an act, for he was very peaceful, w.abiding young man ! while he resided in Mopson MT. Lannagan's father moved his family few years ago to Whipple, R. l., but is Main-street property owner at the present time. He leaves, be- sides his father, four brothers and one sister, John, Peter, Oliver and Henry Lannagan, and Mrs. Emile Broulette of Worcester, with whom he had been living.

ARCHIMEDES AND HIS LEVER
The Feat of Raising the Earth From a Scientific Niewpoint,


 Give me fulcrum and d place on which to stand and I will raise the earth from it's placer That is d say. ing popularity attributed to Archimedes. If the required conditions were possi- ble the feat might be performed, but in addition to providing fulcrum and place on which to stand Archimedes would also have to be furnished an in- definite lease of life.
 To raise the earth a height of one inch by the force which Archimedes would have been capable of exerting would take not only an extremely long lever, but an extremely long time, as can be readily shown.
 We shall assume the following data in our calculations: That the earth is a sphere 7.926 miles in diameter and that 5.5 is its mean density; also that the lever has no weight. Should we design real lever it would be of such enormous size and weight that Ar chimedes' weight would be ;lnegligible quantity.
 If the earth is 1926 miles ill diame- ter the volume is about 261 ,OOO. O.cOO. 900 cubic miles. or 3S,4OO, ,O0O. eco. .00O, ,CO0- 100000 cubic feet. and if the density is 5.5 the weight per cubic foot would be about 344 pounds. which multiplied by the volume would give as the weight of the earth 13.209. 100000, ,O0O,- O00,OOO,OO0,OOO pounds. We shall as- sume, further. that Archimedes weigh ed 15O pounds and that ''the place on which to stand" was some distant star; then. if the fulcrum is one mile from the point of application of the lever to the earth the length of the power arm of the lever. or the dis tance of Archimedes' 'sstanding place. would have to be S8.064 GOO OOO. .OOO.- COG, 100000 miles.
 To move the earth a distance of one inch Archimedes' end of the lever would have to move through dis tance of 1.38S.OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO 100000 miles. Now. if Archimedes should take hold of the end of the lever and apply his weight of 15O pounds to it and should move off into space with the velocity of light, or 1S6,OOO miles second. it would take him 237,OOO years to fin ish the job he proposed. so that now. nearly 2.200 years after making the famous dictum. he would barely have started the undertaking O. Sand strOm in Scientific American.
