The Tribuna states that the king
of Italy, who is an excellent soldier,
was present recently at the lombard
ment of an Austrian fort.
Having noticed that the Austrians
were firing from a house, the king
advised the lieutenant in charge of a
gun to fire at the building The lieu
tenant aimed and fired, the house be-
ing shattered. The king congratu-
lated the officer and went away.
Later he related the incident to
a general, who asked the iieutenant's
name, which was told him.
The general paled and said: "The
lieutenant and three soldiers were
killed half an hour ago. II your ma
jesty had stayed later" He was
unable to finish the sentence.

Joffre and NAPOLEON,

A saying of General Joffre's which
has never been given the publicity 1t
deserves comes from correspondent
who vouches for its accuracy. It H.
illustrates charmingly the modesty of
the man who. 1t is claimed. saved
France. The general was explaining
to favored American visitor the po-
sition of the French army intrench-
ments on the plain beneath the hill
where they stood, and he traced the
course of the German lines beyond
IT'S a big job" said the visitor.
But guess even Napoleon. il he had
had all your troops to fight with here,
would have had to dig himself in Just
the same"
"Ah," said Joffre, slowly stroking
his chin. Napoleon! No, think Ma
poleon would have thought of some
thing!"-Manchester Guardian.

CALL AQUEDUCT A WONDER
Engineers Enthusiastic In Praise of
Work Done BY the Italian
Government.

The Italian government has just fin
ished one of the most important engi-
neering works of modern days in the
construction of an immense aqueduct
which carrier the waters of the Sele
INTENTIONALLY flowing west from the
Apennines to the Tyrrhenian sea--to
the city of Bari, on the Adriatic.
The eastern part of southern Italy
sadly lacked water, while the western
part had far more than it needed.
The River Sele was selected as that
which could best be spared. 1t rises
124 miles from Bari, and the whole
range of the lofty Apennines are in
between. 1t was necessary to bore
go miles OF tunnel, mostly through
granite; to build between four and
i've miles of aqueducts and to install
between AZ and 48 miles of metallic
double siphons. The main aqueduct
is 1872 miles long, and from 1t branch
to the villages Of Apulia the 100000
900 gallons of water that are DETECTED
every day from the western to the
eastern shofes of the country
More than $50 reservoirs, most of
them carved out of solid rock, store
up more than five million cubic feet
OF water at intervals along the aque-
duct to provide against accidents that
may make repairs necessary. And
seventeen towns situated at points
higher than the aqueduct receive the
water by means of elevators.
