Birds Not wearied by Long Flights.

The popular belief that birds under
ordinary circumstances find ocean flight
wearisome, and that after laboring
with tired wings across the seemingly
endless waste they sink exhausted on
reaching land, is disproven by facts.
1t seems rather that the powers of To-
comotion with which nature has endow-
ed many birds are so wonderful that
under normal conditions they can
easily cross the Gulf of Mexico at its
widest point and even pass without
pause over the low, swampy coastal
plain to the higher territory beyond.
SO little averse are birds to an ocean
fight that many fly from eastern Tex
as to the Gulf coast Of southern Next
go though this 400 miles of water
journey hardly shortens the distance
of an hour S flight Thus birds avoid
the hot, treeless plains and scant prov
ender of southern Texas by direct
fight from the moist, insect-teeming
forests of northern Texas to similar
country in southern Mexico.

F,.BITTINGER.

Rev. J L. Marvin. of the Lutheran
church, was regularly installed as pas
tor of the Bittinger charge last Sunday.
The service was conducted by Rev. W.
S. Dysinger, president of the West
Virginia Synod, of the Evangelical
Lutheran church, who delivered the
charge to the pastor in most impress
i've and convincing sermon in the morn
ing. In the afternoon the same gentle
man delivered the charge to the con-
gregation in a direct and convincing
manner, after which the regular IN
stallation service was performed The
attendance at both services was very
large, the building not being sufficient
to accommodate all who attended.
The Dunkard Brethren held a series
of meetings in their Bethel church,
each evening of last week, and on last
Sunday afternoon a number of new
members were taken into the church
and were baptized by immersion in the
Casselman river.

A Pot Of Gold.

While cultivating his corn on his farm
near Elkins, W. Va, John Tracv
brought to the surface an old iron not
containing 81 900, mostly in gold and
some silver, in good state of preserva-
tion. The pot had figure "8'' on it.
and tree nearby had a figure "8''
carved on it. 1t was supposed some
idle boy had cut the figure on the tree
for pastime, but now it is believed the
person who buried the pot cut the figure
to guide him to its location.
The find has caused great excite
ment. 1t is believed other treasures
have been buried. All farmers of tina
section are blowing for gold, and all
trees are being closely examined for
figures or marks to Indicate the location
of treasure. 1t is believed manv pots
were buried, all numbered. and the
figure 80" leads TO the belief that at
least eight were buried.

"BETwEEN THE LINES. ."

Following its twistings and turnings
this strip of land is 45O miles in length.
1t lies wrapped in uncanny solitude, for
in all its length there moves no living
creature. 1t changes from beet fields
to plowed land, to pastures and back to
the eternal beet fields again. 1t runs
across farms and oyer hills, through the
cities and under forest trees. 1t varies
n width, here narrowing to few feet.
there widening to several hundred
yards. Five minutes would be ample
time to walk across it anywhere, and
yet it is the most impossible frontier
ever marked out by man anywhere on
the surface of mother earth. No per-
son may cross it. no matter how exalt-

ed his position nor how mighty his in
fluence, for throughout its length hosts
of trained men lie ever ready to let
loose upon any intruder a thousand
shells and million bullets.
"What sights one might behold if
one could, himself invisible, follow this
ribbon of Scared earth as it winds its
way across Europe from the North sea
to the Alps! Its length is mazed with
barbed wire and electric death, and
menaced by pits and mines. Heaps of
dead men lie in the sun or rain and the
wounded cry family and more family
until they, too, are dead. The plants
and trees are blasted and even the
earth has been torn and tortured by
explosions.
AT some point along this line a
moment comes when thousands of men
start suddenly out of the bare earth
like sons of the Dragons teeth and as
promptly charge forward. For a brief
moment their shouts are heard through
the stiffness and then their voices are
drowned by one great hellish din, made
up of the roar of guns, the crash of
cannon, the scream of shells and the
shock of ear-splitting explosions; the
the ground under their feet heayes and
shakes and the air about them is filled
with a confusion of flying dust and
pebris."
GERMAN VIEW OF JOFFRE.
Il found intelligent people IN Ger
many very broad-minded about military
matters They were pretty well agreed
that General Joffre is the only general
produced so far by war who would rank
in history as a great captain, and while
they maintained that the German Of
ficers as a class were superior to all
others, they conceded that the best
troops which have so tar taken part in
the war were the British regulars who
represented England in the early weeks
of the war
LETTER FROM THE SKY.
Letters are constantly arriving at
the embassy, forwarded to US with
great care by French soldiers who have
found them on the bodies of dead Ger
mans, or received them from the hands
of the dying. They are sent to US in
hopes that we may eventually find
means to transmit them to Germany to
the relatives of the dead for whom
they were intended. Today came such
a note written by a German airman
who had been shot down out Of the sky
He had evidently realized that his time
was short and had hurriedly scrubbed
on the back of a sheet of instructions
printed IN German script the few words
he could summon strength to write.
The scrap of paper was torn and smudgy
and thumb-print in blood was i'm
pressed on one cornerr Each word was
more shaky and labored than the pre-
ceding one, as if each had been traced
only by supreme effort On it was
written in German, Goodbye, Mother
and Father. My leg is crushed The
French are very kind and . > A
footnote had been added by some
French soldier explaining that the man
had died while he was writing, and CIV
ing the means of Identification which
had been found on the body"

LANCASTER DOLbING UP.

Our good sister city, Lancaster. is
rapidly coming to the front in the way
of improvements. The handsome new
courthouse will be completed about
the first of the year and the public
square will soon be thoroughly trans
formed into thing of beauty. The
park in the center Of the square has
been encircled with concrete sidewalks,
the old trees removed and handsome
concrete walks made. between which
are grass plots and flower beds. In
the center thereof is being erected a
handsome fountain. The city council
is now figuring with contractors for
paving the square with vitriiied brick.
