Meteor's Trail Photographed.

The most remarkable photograph of
a meteor trail that has yet been taken.
so far as we know. was recently repro
duced in L'Astronomie. The meteor
was seen from many points in South
Africa about p. m. on June 2, 1912
in broad daylight. and the trail that
it left behind remained visible untii
some time after sunset. becoming
more and more conspicuous as the
daylight faded.
The photograph. which shows the
trail as an immense. serpentine ribbon
in the western sky. was taken at
Temple. Orange Free State, about an
hour after the passage OF the meteor
with q court train"

European War News

The Anglo-French evacuation of
Serbia now seems to be a fact. From
both German and Greek sources comes
news that the allied armies are at. If
they have not already crossed, the
Greek frontier, and battle on Greek
soil seems inevitable.
England intends to have an army of
100000 men under arms by April /,
1916. This decision it is said may be
regarded as an answer to Germany's
desire to make peace on terms satis'
factory only to Germany.
Dispatches from both entente and
Teutonic sources reveals crushing de-
feats to the Franco-British forces in
Serbia, with the immediate prospect
that the allies expedition will either
be annihilated or driven over the
Greek border at once. Retreat Of the
French on the vardar and two re-
treats by the British are officially an
nounced at Berlin and London. The
position OF the allies in the Balkans is
more critical than ever before.
Germany win make no peace pro-
posals to the allies, but If the entente
powers offer terms compatible with
Germany's dignity and safety. the
German government is willing to dis
cuss them. Imperial Chancellor Won
Hollweg so announced in
the reichstag at Berlin.

her allies, favors the withdrawal of
the expeditionary forces from the Bal
