Storm Detectinu Device.

New York, April Ga remarkable
machine has been installed upon the
roof of the New York Edison COM
pany's water side stations for the pur-
pose of detecting the approach of
storms. This ingenious Instrument;
which is said to surpass even the Unit
ed States weather bureau in the gen.
eral accuracy of it's forecasts, is new
device, which has such delicate percep-
.tions that it can feel the coming of a
storm while the disturbance is still
from two to seven hours off,
The action Of the device is interest
ing to watch. Experience shows that a
storm few hours distant causes the
bell to tap every five to fifteen minutes.
On coming nearer, say two hours be-
fore breaking, the storm records itself
in minute or half minute taps For a
full hour before the climax the bell
rings continually and is short circuited
when the storm breaks.

"War Children" Healthier.

Paris, April 4.--Professor Binard of
the Academy of Medicine contributes
an article to the Matin showing that
"war children are stronger and health
Ter than their predecessors and that
France is rapidly repairing her battle
losses.
An analysis of the Paris statistics for
the last six months reveals diminu-
ton of the death rate among mothers
and children and decrease i'll the
number of children born dead.
DR.. Binard further asserts that an ex-
tensive comparison Of living children
with those born earlier shows that the
average weight of "war babies is con-
siderably higher than it used to be.
This he considers due to the giving Of
natural instead Of artificial nourish-
ment by the mothers in consequence Of
the more serious attitude they take to
their duty to the state.
This, says the professor, is one more
instance of the spirit Of regeneration
animating France.

Paris. April 4.-"What slaughter
Europe is to see in May"
Frederick Palmer, who will accom-
pany the allied armies as correspond
ent when they begin their drive against
the Germans, made the above remark.
He had just talked things over with
several of the chiefs of the general
staff and knew what the plans are.
His opinion later was echoed in an
other way by General Foch. who said:
"Great events are coming. Then
will come peace. but we will put senti-
ment aside and make peace on our own
terms
And from neutrals who have been in
Germany it is learned that the same
thing is being said there. Both sides
are holding their own during the win
ter months and preparing. preparing,

rope. therefore. are to meet in the
spring. and each will be on the often

Germans Use 100000 Shots Daily.

Germans Use 100000 Shots Daily.
London, April 4.-Twenty-six million
shots are being fired daily by the Ger

credited to lone of the worlds fore
most authorities Oh "copper" whose
discussion Of the Importance of this
metal is published in the Times, with
his name withhold
His estimate of 26,0OO,O0O German
shots every twenty four hours is based
on the belief that the German firing
line extends in all about $50 miles and
the conservative guess that 100000
Germans are taking part in the en-
gagement daily to the extent at least
Of twenty, shots each. This would be
a low average, he believes, as during
real engagements hundreds Of shots
are fired by each man.
Since rifle cartridge unloaded

Of brass in this form would amount to
6S7,57S pounds, or roundly 305 tons,
per day. These figures make no allow
ance for the machine guns, which spit
out bullets every second.
Owing to the mud and water in which
so many of the battles have been
fought the writer believed it was
