HAS TRADE SCHOOL FOR MEN
Jobs Which Require Skilled
Labor.

London.-One of the most interest
ing employment experiments in Eng
land is a trade training school for
men, enabling them to shift from a
trade temporarily stagnant owing to
the war, into one where skilled labor
is urgently needed. he experiment
is being carried out by the Prince of
Wales Relief fund, and if successful
may be indefinitely extended.
Furniture trade was one of those
adversely affected by the war, and a
large number of skilled furniture
workers have since become skilled
leather workers, on military equip
ment.
The school was opened December z,
last. In the first five weeks of it's
existence it enrolled 139 men, "a OF
whom already fave graduated" and
obtained employment as leather stitch
ers.
More than half of the men placed
have been more than forty years OLD,
and the report of the first five weeks
work in the school says men more
than forty, land indeed over fifty" are
as quick and adaptable as the younger
men.

Endurance, Not Snowy Battles,
Will Decide This War.
Case of One of Cars Troopers Cited
to Show Endurance of Russians
Perforated, Anxious to
Return to Front.

Warsaw.-There can be no doubt
now that this war is going to be de-
cided, not by a series of brilliant,
snowy victories in grand battles, but
by trial Of stamina and power Of en-
durance between the allies and their
Teutonic enemies.
Nowhere do the conditions of war
demand of the allies so much patient
endurance and indifference to great
eufferings as on the eastern front,
where the Russian army is laboring
Under most cruel disadvantages owing
20 scarcity of railways and almost to-
:al absence of good roads, while the
Germans have in their rear the most
perfect system of strategic railways
In the world, built entirely for the pur-
poses of an aggressive war against
Russia.
For this trial of endurance and
stamina the Russian army is emf
nently suited, both collectively and in
dividually. There is no other soldier
in the world who can stand so much
physical pain and privation as the
Russian.
In this connection one may recall a
characteristic scene described in the
Russkoye Slovo of Moscow, by its cor
respondent at the front.
The scene took place at a field hos
pital. In front of a large tent crowd
of wounded soldiers, straight from
the trenches, were waiting medical
aid. A kindly Russian priest was
handing round mugs of tea, which he
poured from a large samovar. The
soldiers drank their tea with frank
expressions of enjoyment on their
saces-all except one. He first silent
lily brushed aside the proffered hand of
the priest, and when the latter pressed
upon him a mug of tea mumbled
iully:
Cant. The tooth aches. Please,
can / see the doctor?"
The priest could not refrain from re-
preaching the big fellow for troubling
the doctor with a toothache.
"Why," he said, fancy strong,
healthy fellow like you coming here
with toothache, just after the battle,
when the doctors are so busy with
really important cases. Couldn't you
waltz" 6
ct aches something awful" num-
bled the soldier.
"Then, why didn't you come earlier,
before the battle?"
cit didn't ache then. 1t started
aching only when the bullet got in my
mouth. 1t stuck there"
The soldier touched his cheek with
his finger.
Only then did the priest realize how
unjust he was in reproaching the SOL
der with malingering. He hurried for
a surgeon, who hastily examined the

Classic Toothache.

Toothaehe was not an incident Of
campaigning with which ancient
armies had to reckon The silence of
the classics certainly seems to indi-
cate that the Greeks and Romans suf-
fered very little from their teeth.
Words for toothache and for teeth
extracting instruments can, indeed, be
found in the Greek and Latin diction-
aries, but the authors quoted for them
are generally late and always unin-
teresting. We can hardly believe
that, If toothache had been common
in Athens, Aristophanes would have
made no jokes about it. But CLASH
cal scholar may pretty safely be defied
to cite single Greek or Latin pas
sage about it. Even Lucretius, when
he gets on to the subject of teeth in
a passage where a reference to tooth
ache might be expected, merely re-
fers to the jar given to the teeth by
very cold water or by biting stone
in ones bread.

ice-cold mud is carefully washed
away and the specimens carried to the
laboratory.
1t is like opening Christmas pack
age for a naturalist to watch the
dredge come to the surface bringing
unknown treasures from the hidden
depths. Strange fish are found which
carry incandescent lamps far in front
of them to light their way in the inky
blackness miles below the surface;
others with phosphorescents spots along
their sides which must glow like the
portfolios of a steamer at night; still
others with their eyes upon long
stalks or with no eyes at all. And,
poor things, when released from the
terrible pressure to which they have
become accustomed, their eyes often
pop from their heads and their
stomachs turn inside out.

This happened five years ago. Since
that time John Leinster has become
one of the most prominent men in the

DREDGES USED BY FISHERMEN
Apparatus Used to Bring Unknown
Treasures of the Depths to
the Naturalist.

There are two styles of dredges by
means of which the animals and fish of
the great depths are captured-the
nets which are dragged over the bot
tom and those trawled just below the
surface, says Popular Mechanics. The
bottom dredge consists of pair of
heavy iron running frames connected
by one or two cross-bars, II feet in
length. Fastened to this frame is a
.cone-shaped bag 80 feet long, made of
heavy web. the end Of which Is closed
by a lashing. The dredge is hung
over the starboard side of the ship on
long boom and by means of a steel
cable is slowly lowered to the ocean
bottom. A dial indicates the number
of feet of wire out, and pointer on
a scale shows the strain, which often
amounts to five or six tons, upon the
cable. When the dredge has reached
the bottom the ship steams ahead at
about two-thirds of mile an hour,
dragging the net over the ocean floor.
1t remains down for an hour or so, and
is then slowly lifted to the surface.
The deepest haul which the Albatross
has ever made was five and a half
miles, and it was II hours from the
time the dredge was first lowered until
it again appeared. The net is towed
beside the ship for few minutes,

"HICCOUGHS OF THE SEA"
Scientists Explain Frequent Reports
of Cannonading Heard In the
North Sea.

Paris.-The frequent reports, which
subsequently were not confirmed, that
heavy cannonading had been heard In
the North sea, have led to an investi-
cation by scientists. 1t was thus dis
closed that the reports Of detonations
were authentic, although no firing took
place.
Scientists who were on the lookout
for a repetition of this phenomenon
were rewarded by hearing loud detona-
tions off the coast on a day when 1T
was known that no naval action what
ever was in progress. This phenome-
non was noted along the French coast,
off the Department of Pas-de-Calais.
Able Moreux of the observatory at
Bourges came to the conclusion that
these loud reports were simply what
the Belgians call "mistpoeffers, or ex-
plosions of fog. They are called "hic-
coughs of the sea" in Holland, and
sometimes are referred to as marine
bombs. The same phenomenon has
great lakes and on the great plains of
the Delta of the Gauges.
After the theory that these detona-
tions were produced by artillery had
been discarded, it was thought possible
that they were the result of electrical
discharges. Finally Able Moreux no.
ticed that the appearance of this phe-
nomenon was generally simultaneous
with reports of explosions of firedamp
in mines.
The electrical action of the sun upon
the surface of the earth, the able says,
provokes movements favorable to the
expansion of imprisoned gases where
ever there are assures in the crust.
These gases, liberated from their
prisons, explode and cause at the same
time explosions of firedamp and earth
quakes. The able pointed out that
earthquakes are always preceded by
noises resembling distant detonations
Of artillery. Vibrating shocks original
ing in the interior of the crust of the
earth may produce sonorous waves
which are quite perceptible if the at
mosphere is in repose.
Able Moreux says that meteoro-
logical conditions do not, as has been
supposed, cause the phenomenon, al
though they may favor its production.
