mann told me himself DIR. Hedemann
SAID that he talked to Mr.. Smart quite
plainly, and / understood from Mrs.
Knight that Thelma had been brought
away from the islands for the Paris
trip contrary to the advice of the doc
Tor down there. My impression is,
however, that they rather encouraged
him in bringing her to California, but
were against the trip to Europe. Thel-
ma positively should not have gone
TO Paris, because of the condition
which the pleuritic lung was in; the
fact that she was four months preg-
nant with her second child so soon
after her first pregnancy and what
they must encounter on the trip to
Paris. The trip would have been very
fatiguing. and you can pick up the
germs anywhere. In the condition she
was in she would be very subject to
tuberculosis. If she had not been
four months pregnant with the sec.
end child and her lungs were not in
the condition they were in while in
San Francisco, l would not have felt
nearly SO anxious about her. | feel

that Mrs. Knight had been robbed Of
her daughter and that the possession
of this baby would give her some joy.
l wished Thelma to know that
she could not get well, so that
she might express any wish regard

she wanted to. / think it was
within my duty as physician
to do so. Mrs. knight did not wish
it done, but did it nevertheless.

the trouble with their lungs which she

not expect it to be immediate, it was
something which thought she ought
to know That is all said. I am
perfectly positive that it was not at

her she could not get well, and asked
Miss Kirkpatrick to speak about the

by the expression on her face. She
did not seem to resent it, but / think
it shocked her. Mrs. knight told me
that when she went in Thelma said

to her. Miss kirkpatrick later told
me that she put this question to TheL
ma and that Thelma answered prompt

ness there when she asked the ques-
ton.
remember telling Mr.. Smart when
advising against the journey to Paris
that in the then condition OF Thelma's
lungs she should be out in the open air
as much as possible; that she should
be kept on a strict diet as to every
thing she ate, and that she should
avoid all fatigue, and positively and
specifically impressed on Mr.. Smart
the danger of subjecting Thelma to
the fatigue necessarily involved in the
proposed journey. As matter Of fact.

display of preparedness.
In order to complete her remarkable
system of communication, Germany has
built many new telegraph an6 telephone
lines throughout the interior. This work
has afforded an opportunity for the util-
iZation Of the unequaled strength of the
Russians. A notable incident occurred
when the work was started. dozen
Russians were provided with team and
instructed to cart the heavy poles from
the railroad station where they had been
dropped to a point about one hundred
yards away
The men faithfully placed one of the
poles on the truck and started the horses.
One third of the distance had been ne
gotiated when the wheels sank deeply
into the mud and the horses were stalled
Instead of seeking another team to as
sist, five Of the prisoners lifted the pole
as If it were an attenuated match stem
and carried it on their broad, meaty
shoulders to the point Of destination.
German troops watched them with Won
der Thereafter the telegraph poles were
moved by the prisoners without the
horses. which were sent away for other
work.
In Austria feeling Of genuine good
fellowship has sprung up between the
captors and the Russian prisoners-a
feeling lacking in the necessary aSsocia-
ton OF the Austrians and other prisoners.
Games of skill and feats Of strength are
engaged in every Sunday. in which cap
tors and captives compete on common
footing. AS result of these friendly en-
gagements, the Austrians have come to

but the unimportant demands cannot be

to send a letter to the nearest consular
officer of the United States. in which he
set forth in vague. limiting outlines a
condition OF extreme severity and cruel

brought the consul outstanding with a

Dec@iiviing Sheep and Hens
by 7 turning ON Electric Light

as long as the pens are illuminated.
The light is turned on again at in
the morning, and the days work starts
in. The practical effect Of midsummer
is secured, and the lack of winter sun
light no longer serves as an obstacle
to the quick fattening of sheep for the
market.
The story Of the hen is that hens are
deceived by electric light into believ-
ing that night has not set IN or that
dawn has come. 1t may be that the
hens are not really deceived, but that
they actually welcome and enjoy relief
from the tedium and monotony of the
long winter evenings and appreciate
henhouses which have at least some OF
the modern conveniences. A writer on
the subject of hens and more light has
said:
False daylight in lighthouses to pro-
mote better laying among hens is by no
means a new idea, and il has been
proved on several occasions that fowls
kept in electrically lighted coops. thus
deceiving innocent hens. who imagine
the days are growing longer, produce
far more eggs than those housed under
ordinary conditions. 1t has remained,
however, for G. c. Newell of Chicago.
brother of Richard Newell. ex-chair-
well known Welsh agriculturist. to
conduct some of the most successful
experiments in this direction.
In the matter of the lighting schedule
it is said that at in the morning the
lights are switched on and the fowls
get up, thinking II Is daylight. At or
$3.50. when it is full daylight, the lights
are turned. off, and at o'clock tho
lights are turned on again and are kept
on until 9 o'clock. when all the lights
are turned off, but two-candle power
lamp installed in each henhouse, which
gives sufficient light to cause the APP
pearance of dusk and then the fowls
begin to go to roost.
The man who practices this decep-
ton on the hens. or who at least makes
life jollier for the hens during winter
afternoons and evenings. 10 quoted as
saying: II found that my fowls were
not laying much in winter. They would
go to roost earlier in the winter
months and get up later. / decided
that they did not have sufficient day
light in which to eat the necessary
amount Of food and to get the required
amount of exercise for good laying. I
estimated that they got about sixteen
hours of daylight in midsummer and
only about seven In midwinter.

admire the Russians for their great
strength and endurance and the captives
frequently profess their admiration for
the aptitude and dizziness of the Aus
TRANS with whom they contest.
The treatment of the captured English
in Germany is governed entirely by the
behavior of the prisoners AS a general
rule, the British soldier Is hard to take
and. while being held. is a most disagree
able prisoner. Perhaps 1t is to his credit
that the Englishman fights hardest and
fiercest when he is surrounded and cut
off from his comrades. Time and time
again English soldiers have been outgen-
eraled by the Germans. only to fight back
to position against great odds. An Illus
.ratve incident is cited at Neuve Cha
pelle:
One company of Scots was ordered to
charge an isolated. shell-punctured
cabin held by small force of Ger
mans. With their customary enthu-
siasm and reckless abandon, the Scot
fish soldiers charged the cabin and
drove out the enemy at the point of
bayonets. A half hour passed. in which
they kept up a continuous fire against
encroaching Germans.
Every minute they expected assist
ance from the main line, but no relief
came, and presently they discovered
that German troops in their onward
drive had completely surrounded their
little fort and were closing in ire
sistibly.
The natural action in these dire
