island of Tenedos.
lone ship of the Agamemnon
type and two other armored ves-
sells were damaged by the fire
from forts on the Asiatic side of
the straits
1t was announced from London last
night that all the forts at the entrance
of the Dardanelles had been reduced
by the combined fleets of Great Bri-
tain and France, a naval force which
had been estimated at something over
80 vessels.
The English announcement made
no mention of losses, either to vessels
or in men. 1t described the operations
as successful and said they were con-
tinuinE.
Key to Constantinoplc
The Dardanelles are the key to Con-
stant.nople. and the effort to force
them has been going on since the mid
die of December. In possession of
this waterway which is a strait about
40 miles long and from one to three
miles wide between the sea of Mar
mora and the Mediterranean the war
ships of the allies would not encoun>
ter any serious difficulty in making
ing their great guns on the Turkish
capital
Turkey always has relied upon the
strength of the Dardanelles fortifica-
tions for protection from attack by
sea; their defenses in the sea of Mar
mora and around Constantinople have
been described as relatively unimpor-
tant.
Would Let Wheat Out
1t has been declared that with Con-
stantinople in possession of the allies,
a vast amount of Russian wheat would
come out from the Black Sea and be
distributed to ports in France and
England. The possession of Constan-
tinople also would have the effect of
driving Turkish naval power and par
ticularly the former German cruisers
Goeben and Breslau into the Black
Sea where they would be without any
port of refuge.
danelles have been going on for over
sixty days. the immediate operation
which, according to British official an
nouncement, has now resulted success
fully began about n week ago. Aero
planes are said to have rendered ma
terial assistance.
The Dardanelles were forced in
1907 by an English admiral who made
his way through the sea of Marmora
to Constantinople, but then encoun-
tered much more difficulty in getting
back through the narrow waterway
than he had in going in

river crested at Towanda at II y feet
late yesterday afternoon. This morn

the river still rising at these points,
the prediction for these two points
having been 25 and 20 feet. respect

quehanna river was about 17.3 feet
this morning. a stage of 1876 feet be-
ing predicted for the maximum. The
stage at Harrisburg this morning was
loo feet and the river will recedc
tonight.
on this particular freshet, or high
water stage, the Susquehanna river at
Harrisburg will crest before the maxi
mum stage of the North branch
reaches Wilkes Barre. owing to the
fact that the West branch and the
Juniata flood waters were considerably
ahead of the North branch flow.
At a stage above / 3 feet the open
hearth furnaces at one of the steel
companies in the vicinity of Harris
burg are flooded and it is of vital i'm
portance to them to know what the
maximum stage at this city is to be
and how long the water is to remain
above the 15-foot stage. The commits
sion was able 10 give the company
definite Information and to save shut
ting down of the furnaces. which
would have occasioned considerable
financial loss.

Harrisburg Magnates Are
All Peace Loving and
Law Abiding Citizens

Harrisburg folks. having a regular
income, are awake to the necessity for
filing their papers not later than Mon
day, March /. Deputy Revenue Col
lector William S. Bricker, whose off,
ces are the Federal building. stated
to-day that there has been a big rush
for income blanks during the last
week.
There is a penalty of so per cent.
OF the tax for persons who fail to
send in the required information by
Monday. A fixed penalty varying from
$50 to $1,000 is also mentioned in the
income tax law. The local collector
cannot state positively how many local
people come under the income tax.
He has given out several thousand
blanks, and many persons in this dis
trict have also received blanks from
the main office at Lancaster. Accord
ing to Mr.. Bricker they were a little
slow in getting after blanks, but it is
the belief that there will not be many
fines imposed on Harrisburg people.

New Improved
Eye Glass Mounting

1t is said, There is nothing
new under the sum-" but there
has been q new eyeglass
mounting patented recently
which is going to be a great
saving in broken lenses and
annoyance TO the wearer.
Heretofore all eyeglasses of
the frameless kind had to
have a hole drilled for a
screw to fasten them in the
mounting. The screw was
constantly working loose and
the least jar or fall from this
weakened point, we had a
broken lense. This new
mounting obviates all this
annoyance and expense as
there are no holes to weaken
the lense nor screw to work
loose, making a nicer looking
mounting and a saving of
dollars to the wearer.
If you are interested and

of Contractor NJ. f. Saul, the pipe line
contractor who put down the South
Front street section Of the new big
water main from Mulberry street sub
way to Paxton street during the cX-

largely influenced in his plan of oper-

ers busy as long as possible during
the extreme cold weather. The dis
advantage of working in cold weather,
however, has just been proved.
The cold contracted the pipes and

TEETH PROJECTIONS
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Many Animals Fail to Make Good
Gains Owing to Bad Condi-
tion of Grinders.

The horse most commonly grown
upon the farm and the one which is
so often neglected. when it comes to
preparing him for market, is the draft
horse.
Pounds of flesh are an important
factor In determining his market value.
This being the case, il is very neces-
sary to have him make heavy gains.
One of the first points to be considered
in fattening a horse is to attend to his
teeth. Many horses fail to make good
gains, due to the fact that their teeth
are not in proper condition.
The preparation of the teeth is
known as the floating of the teeth.
II is best to get a veterinarian to do
this, as he has the proper instruments,
and where there are many to do, 1t
can be done more rapidly. Floating
the teeth is a point which a great
many people overlook, and is in many
instances the cause OF horse being
out OF condition.
When a horse has a number of sharp
projections on his teeth, the gums be-
come sore and raw, so that he does not
masticate his food properly; conse-
quently indigestion often results and
the horse runs down in his condition.
In examining a lot of horses recent
ly, it was found that a large number
OF them had sharp projections on the
under edge of the grinders. Their
mouths were in such a condition that
a person would wonder how they could
eat at all.
But after their teeth had been float.
ed down, quite marked change was
noticed.

Psychology Of Practice.

The question OF short versus long
periods Of practice in training the hui
man muscles for any particular kind
of work is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. K s. Lashley
OF Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
ton Of skill in archery was selected
as the subject OF observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third, forty shots. The re-
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only five times a day
improved in accuracy with less ex-
penditure of time in practice than was
required by either of the other groups
for the same amount of Improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
"The relatively greater efficiency OF
short periods OF practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results of the study of animals
and of speech habits in man, and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, in both animals and man, the
length of practice periods required is
usually too great for maximum ef-
ficiency. American.

A Queens Sympathy.

A kindly little act that shows some
thing of the quick wit and ready sym.
pathy of Queen Helena of Italy is re-
corded by Touche Tout. Some years
ago the coral fishers of Tore del
Greco, near Naples, were in hard
straits. The value of coral had fallen
so low that they we're no longer able
to find purchasers for their harvest.
At last in their despair they besought
the queen to come TO their aid.
At the first great court ball that was
held that year at the Quirinal. the
queen, to the surprise of all beholders,
wore about her neck collar composed
Of six rows of coral instead of her
superb collar of pearls, and her black
hair was crowned with a diadem Of
coral and brilliants. From that eve
ming the mode changed. Old coral or
naments that had been hidden away
for years and years were again dis
played at the jewelers.. and were
snapped up by eager purchasers
Queen Helena's object was attained
and that court ball marked the begin
ming of more prosperous days for the
coral fishers of Tore del Greco.
