A SNAKE IN MOTION.

Me,nod by Which the Reptile Gets Over
the Ground.
The snakes power OF getting over
the ground is intimately associated
with it's fexibility from side to side.
The hexibility is not as powerful from
top to bottom. and ii is q mistake to
imagine the snake Is unduladng IN
vertical curves similar to the single
span Of the inch worm. The curves
are horizontal. parallel with the ground
or whatever surface the animal Is
raversing.
Locomotion is effected by contrac-
ton OF the ribs on one side OF the body
with corresponding widening out on
the other This forms one curve. An
other contraction takes place at the
end of the expanded side. bending the
body in the opposite direction. Thus
there is series of alternate constric-
tons and spreaGings Of the numerous
ribs throughout the length OF the rep
tile as it lies on the ground.
When the snake is in motion some
part of the body must secure itself

TROLLEY CREW HELD UP.
Take Cash From Sioux City Patrons
But Disdain JeMeIry

Sioux City. Aug 26,-Armed robbers
who boarded a street car about 1880
o'clock last night at Twenty-e eighth
and Court streets ignored gold watches
in the possession of the motorman
and conductor, concerning themselves
only with money. The conductor,
George f. Webster. aS0S Leech avenue,
lost $1,000 of which s24.S0 belonged to
the Sioux City Service Company. The
loot taken from the motorman, James
Westcott. 1921 South Linn street,
amounted TO Is cents.
Police we're notified of the robbery
while cops at the station We're discuss
ing the ease with which bandits could
operate at the end Of car lines or at
the Greeneville barn Capt. George
Overmire and Patrolnan Edward c..
Becker went to the scene in the police
automobile After getting the story Of
the crew they made visit TO all the
street car terminals in the city.
1t was thought that possibly the
bandits might he making night of it,
and as they had nearly fifteen minutes
start the most feasible plan of appre-
hendtng them seemed TO be TO get or
the spot where the next holdup might
occur.
Webster and Wescott had started
their car from the end of the Court
street line toward the city when two
men boarded the rear end Of the car,
one from either side. The conductor
was told to put UP his hands. The mo-
tornnan saw the incident, but thought
it joke until one OF the men came to
his box and told him to stick 'em up
also.
Webster had an automatic pistol In
! his right hip pocket. Considerable
change was in his left side pocket The
bandits permitted him to take down
| one hand while he reached for the sill
yer. He attempted TO get the other
hand near the pocket in which the
weapon reposed. but was told gruffly
ito keep his paws in front"
| The watch of Webster was dangling
from a chain which hung from an up
! per coat pocket The -chhec too!s !:
| out, looked at it, and then gave it
back. The process was repeated with
| the motorman's timepiece.
Before attempting the double rob-
berry. the bandits. described as tall and
slim, told the motorman to stop his car
After completing their business they
told him to start it again. They rode
with the crew for block before they
| jumped off. Both wore masks.

Under the conditions of modern

For thirteen months America has

seen our own men, women and children
murdered on the high seas without ac-

During this time our nation has not
taken the smallest step in the way OF
preparedness to defend our rights. Yet
these thirteen months have made evil
dent the lamentable fact that force is
more dominant now In the affairs OF
the world than ever before; that the
most powerful of modern military ma
tons is utterly brutal and ruthless in
its disregard of international morality,
and that righteousness divorced from
force is utterly futile.

DIR. Walter RittmAn Has Two Inn

Two Discoveries of Mining Bureau
Engineer Announced by Sec
rotary Of tho Interior
Lane

washington. Mar. 1.-Two dis
coveries, both of vast Importance to
American industries. and one re-
garded also as a priceless military
asset, were announced today by
|secretary Lane OF the interior de-
partment. They are chemical pro-
cesses, developed by DR.. Walter F.
Rittman, chemical engineer of the
bureau Of mines.
One is expected to enable oil re-
lfiners to increase their output OF
gasoline by 200 per cent; the other
makes possible the production from
crude petroleum OF toluol and ben
zol, bases for dyes and explosives;
for which in the past the United
States and the rest OF the world has
depended almost exclusively on Ger
many.

Pressure of Allied Forces Causes the

Troops Hurry Through Belgium to

Advance

London, Feb. 27.-The continued
progress which the French are said
to be making in the Champagne dis
trict and the pressure which the
allies, without attempting any great
offensive, are declared to be bring
ing to bear on the German line in
the west have, according to news
received from Holland, induced the
Germans to make another effort for
the west before the allied forces
reach their maximum strength.
By day and by night, Dutch
newspaper says, big motor cars load
ed with German soldiers are hurry
ing through Belgium to the western
front and the troops which had been
sent to Northern Belgium are going
back to the trenches. The fact that
some Of the troops now passing
through Belgium come from the east
ern front, suggests to the military
observers that the Germans have
decided that they are able to hold
the Russians in their present posi-
lions while the Germans are carry
ing out their new offensive in the
west.
