Volcanoes Again in Action.

Some Of the volcanoes in the Sangir

TON STREET MUSICIAN.
Story From the Capital Concerning
French and German Ambassadors
10 a-Good One, Though Il 10
Not Official.

It was before the war came in grim
earnest, of course, but here is the
form in which a perfectly respectable
old story used to he told over the Gig
arettes in Washington. When the gov
ernments Of France and Germany
were merely barking at each other
across the conference table, it hap
pened one day that an Italian organ
grinder, strolling along the streets Of
Washington, planted his instrument
Of torture on the curb in front of the
German legation and began grinding
out the Marseillaise.
The strains Of Frances great ma
tional air fell upon the ears of the
German ambassador, Count Bernstorff,
as he sat within, deep in the diplo-
matte puzzles of his Office, and a frown
overspread his brow; for the Germans,
though music-loving people, love not
the tune Of the Marseillaise How
ever, he passed the incident, as
momentary annoyance, and buried
himself deeper in his work.
When the musician. having reached
the end of the Marseillaise, proceeded
to adjust his machine and play il
over again, the ambassador grew rest.
less. And when the third round be-
gan, Count Bernstorff's patience broke
under the strain. Hammering upon his
call-bell, he summoned an attendant.
GO out and drive that fellow from
the block!" he commanded, and was
turning again to his work when a
bright idea flashed upon him. Here,
wait a moment" he called, and, draw.
ing coin from his pocket, gave the
valet some instructions along with the
money.
The valet, swiftly making his way to
the street, addressed the organ
grinder.
"Can you play Die Wacht am
Rhein?'" he asked.
Eyes, sure, Mike, I play him." re.

When DR.. Anna Howard Shaw was
speaking The other day she touched on
the subject Of the war, and man In
the crowd called out, what does a
woman know about war anyhow"
Take the newspaper out OF your
pocket and hold it up" answered DR..
Shaw. Five hundred and fifty thou
sand men already sacrificed to the war!
You ask what a woman knows about
war-550O00 men dead! No woman
can understand the horror OF the death
of $4,000 men. Nobody understands
this. But If you were to tell me that
one man lay dead might be able to
understand something of It's meaning.
/ might be able to go back over the
years and remember that a woman
whose heart throbbed with love and
sympathy and hope Of coming moth
erhood walked day by day with her
face toward an open grave, with a
courage SO sublime that no man ever
surpassed 1t.
'And then after her child was born
that woman in her young womanhood
laid aside what every human being of
us has-her ambitions for herself that
che might give her life to the life which
she had given. And year after year
her child grew until he became a man,
and the mother looking into the face
of that boy knew herself built into
him, her life wrought into his life.
Then in an hour that wonderful thing,
that beautiful spirit, was called out,
and he lay dead. And while that moth
er is looking into his dead face some
one asks, What does a woman know
about war;"

MIDSUMMER CLOTHES.
Autumn Presses Closely Upon the Heels
of Summer.

Midsummer is usually the signal for
changes and notifications in the sum
mer fashions. Spring clothes begin to
show wear, and to demand renewal,
and our tickle minds begin to look for
something different.
Does it not seem strange that Amer
lean men should not have adopted long
since a more suitable August attire
than blue serge and tan shoes? How
ever If men persist in conservatism in
this respect, women make up for it, for
no woman in the world INDUCES In
summer clothes to the same extent as
the American woman
The women of other nations from
reasons connected with climate or tenn
permanent or an Unborn sense Of econ
omy, may wear silks or thin wool, but
we insist upon our ephemeral materi-
ais, and every year produces new ones
for US. This, Of course, is a taffeta
season, and we are all wearing it ac-
cordingly. In order to cater to both
parties we combine it with net, lawn,
muslin and organdie in the form Of col
ored basques, coates and the sleeve
less jackets, which it is now possible
to buy separately in the department
stores. What<a called porch frocks''
are sold in great variety.
It is good thing for one of the prin-
cipal products of our own country that
we SO generally adopt the cotton fab
RIGS for summer wear. But regard we
this, as the French say. Some months
ago an active cotton crusade to help
the south was inaugurated with great
blowing of trumpets. 1t was demon
strated to us how many varied articles
were made of cotton, and endless were
the surprises Of finding, for example,
that ones white London ivory comb
was really made of southern cotton.
We were urged to give up linen bed
coverings and take to the less frigid
cotton ones; even the superior light
ness and washableness of cotton blan-
kets were pointed out to US. Ardent
crusaders implored us to relineuish the
silk petticoats, which widened skirts
had just caused us to adopt, and take
to cotton substitutes. Everybody talk
ed cotton Cor few weeks, and then
the whole subject died natural death
until the Partisan designers, who know
nothing about the south and care less,
suddenly revived 1t with the decree of
two washable petticoats under the sum-
mer's fiounced gowns.

A Water TELESCOPES,

Norwegian fishermen use water tel
escope to ascertain the position of the
herring shoals. This is the way to
make the water telescopes:
Procure tube made of tin and fun
mel shaped about three and half feet
long and ten inches in diameter at the
largest end. 1t should be wide enough
at the top to take in the observers
eyes, and the inside should be painted
black. At the bottom, or wide end, a
clear, thick piece of glass must be in
serted, with little lead in the form of
ring to weight the tube, When the
instrument is immersed in clear water
It is astonishing how many fathoms
down the observer can see.

A Gloomy African Pool,

There Is large, deep and mysteri
Gus pool in the valley of the upper
Kafue river, northwestern Rhodesia.
This wonderful pool lies in fat coun.
try, and one comes to it quite sudden
", its banks being concealed by dense
forest. There is a small native village
near the pool, and the inhabitants have
superstitious dread of it. They re-
fuse to drink the water or use it for
any purpose whatever. To sit beside
this still. pellucid pool of unknown
depth, surrounded by precipitous walls
in the heart Of the tropical forest,
would induce a feeling of awe in the
breast of even the most civilized man.
