Geneva, May 1O.-An Italian army
100000 strong, fully equipped and
ready for the field. has been concen-
trated at Kcrona, twenty-five miles
from the frontier of Austria Hungary.
London.-A dispatch from Bellin-

"Austrians and Germans are fleeing
from all parts of Italy. All trains in
the direction of the frontier are
packed with Teutonic passengers. in
cluding merchants and officials. Spe-

| Queenstown.-Twen three miles
from this port an irregular smear of
|
of the Cunarder Lusitania, first trans
Atlantic liner sunk by a German sub
marine. One hundred and forty-nine
of 1900 souls who perished with her
lie in improvised morgues in Od
buildings bordering Queenstown har-
Dor. The 645 survivors here are quar-
tered in hotels, residences and hos
tails, some too badly hurt to be moved.
Two groups left town Saturday after
noon and evening, clad in misfit cloth
ing, bound for Dublin by rail and
thence by boat to Holyhead. The In
juries OF some are so serious that ad-
ditional deaths are expected, and
nearly all are too dazed to understand
fully what has happened.
The survivors do not agree as to
whether the submarine fired one or
two torpedoes. A few say they saw
the periscope Many attest to trac-
Ing the wake of foam as projectile
came toward the vessel. The only
points in which all concur is that the
torpedo struck the vessel vital blow
amidships, causing It to list almost
Immediately to the starboard. In this
careening fashion it plowed forward
some distance, smashing the life
boats davits as It did SO, and maxi
ing the launching of boats well-nigh
Impossible until headway had ceased.
How far the Lusitania struggled
forward after being struck and how
long 1t was before it disappeared be-
meath the waves, likewise are points
upon which few of the passengers
agree, estimates of the time 1t re-
mained afloat ranging from to 20
minutes. At any rate the list to star
board so elevated the lifeboats on the
port side as to render them useless,
and it is said only two of them on
that side we're launched. The first OF
these was filled with women and
children. 1t struck the water un-
evenly, capsizing and throwing its
sixty occupants into the sea. The Lu-
sitania even then was making consid-
cradle headway and the women and
little children were swept to death in
spite of the attempts OF two stokers
10 rescue them. These heroic men.
according to the passengers, were
| drowned.

Quite a New Dance.

Like a flying dumpling Uncle Flop
wit projected himself from the moving
bus to the pavement.
But mud was everywhere.
Poor old Uncle Flopwit's feet
touched the paving stones for frac-
tion of a second, but he proceeded for
the next ten yards of his way face
downward-his white waistcoat churn-
ing neat furrow in the slime.
Then a lamppost brought him to
halt. He was still PROSTATE when a
Samaritan's voice exclaimed:
"Oh, dear! Poor old gentleman!
Have you hurt yourself?"
Now, Uncle Flopwit didn't like be-
ing called old, and he considered the
rest of the question ridiculous.
Hurt myself? OF course not! That
sliding business Is the first figure of a
new dance-the walrus glide. Sup
posed to be a walrus sliding OF a

CONSTRUCTING THE BIG GUNS
Enormous Amount of Labor Involved
In the Making of These
Weapons of War.

A fascinating sight is to watch the
first stages in the manufacture of the
big guns, which are proving so devas-
| tating in the war. A solid ingot of
| steel, some fifty feet in length and
weighing about one hundred tons, is
employed in the making of a 13-inch
gun. After being forged and then al
lowed to cool, so that it may be
toughened for the heavy work, this gi-
gantic bar of steel is pressed into cylin-
drical shape by a powerful hydraulic
press, which exerts a pressure of any
thing between 5000 to 10000 tons to
the square inch. Later what is known
as the trepanning operation is carried
out, namely drilling the bore from end
to end Next the bore is rifled.
The most impressive sight, however,
is the hardening process, when the
rough weapon is heated to dazzling
white heat and plunged into a well
full of oil. If the operation takes
place in the night time the sight of
this big, glowing bar of metal being
lowered apparently into the bowels of
the earth issuing leaping tongues of
flames from the burning oil, may be
likened to scene from Dante's Infer
no. The gun is left to cool in the oil
bath, out of which it comes hardened,
toughened and tempered.
Now follows the wire-winding opera
tion to make the weapon stronger and
impart to 1t some measure of elastic
ity. This wire winding is much the
same in principle as the whipping on
the handle of cricket bat. In this
case, however, the whipping takes the
form of strong steel ribbon, which
is wound around the body of the gun.
Every 13-inch gun has about one hun
dred and twenty miles of this steel
ribbon wound about it. Some idea of the
labor involved in the manufacture OF
one of these guns may be gathered
from the fact that from start to finish
the time occupied is II months.

ness of the Chihuahua sands and a
dark-eyed boy were calling him. For
years he had succeeded in nearly for
getting them; but as time passed, and
no heir came to bless him and Elisa
beth, thought of the boy returned with
increasing persistency 1t would seem
SO good to have young life in the house,
TO nave his boy there always, and a
whole string OF other boys sometimes,
and be young with them all again.
During the interminably long, empty
days he revolved the thing over and
over in his mind, until, one day, the
restlessness overcame him entirely
Telling his wife that he had been
called away on some urgent business
that would require his attention for
month or so, he boarded a west-bound
train, and in the course of a few days
landed on the Chihuahua sands again
Once at the station he hired rig
and drove across the plains to his
former home. Inquiring cautiously at
a neighbor's as to who lived on the
old Leeks place, he found that
strangers owned his former home;
that his wife was buried beside the
mound that was supposed to be his;
and that his boy, who was described
as a very promising lad, was in some
college in the States.
For week he stayed, going over
the once familiar scenes. But the
place seemed strange to him, the men
rough and the women simple. The
soul had gone out of things. and, try
as he might, he could not put life in
them.
Again he rode swiftly down to the
dry arroyo, across the low mesquite
to where the trail led into the noun
tains, and crossed the American line.
Once over, he pulled up and looked
back at the forbidding black sills that
shut in his dreams
~.
1t was commencement day. Chad
Leeks was valedictorian. At the close
of the exercises, the elder Chad went
up and introduced himself to the
younger man as a friend of his IA
ther.
I'm glad you knew him." the boy
replied heartily. MY mother could
not die in peace until promised to
graduate at the same college that he
attended. She thought it might help
me to become the man he was"
With a sigh the elder man turned
away. He would rather die than al
low the boy to be disillusioned.
"She-wanted-him to become-the
an-his-father-w he mused bit
terly as he boarded home-bound
train.

Saturday night with disastrous conse-

Jake Jacobson was the unfortunate
owner. The car was standing near
Baugh's corner when 1t went of with
a bang that resounded throughout the
town. Popcorn and peanuts fairly
rained all around the locality. The
owner was standing right near the
machine but was not hurt much. But
the machine itself was a sorry sight to
see. The man as he bore it away de-
scribed accurately. 1.-TWO hundred
dollars gone to-well, that is what it
cost me, and now 1t is not worth a
whoop," he said as he passed down
the street wiser If still sadder man.

COST OF INSECT RAvAGES IN
DAMAGE TO CROPS

Scientific investigation is RESPONSE
BILE for the assertion that were it not
for birds, insects would render the en-
tire American Continent uninhabitable
within few years. Says the February
Popular Mechanics Magazine. AS it is
the annual dammage done to trees and
growing crops by the ravages of insects
represents loss which has been estim-
ated at more than $500. 900, 900, and this
mainly because the normal balance be-
tween bird life and insect life has been
upset by the destruction of song birds
Nearly 80 per cent of the birds of this
country, it is estimated, have been ex-
terminated through the various influ-
ences of commercialism, sport, igno-
rance, and cats. Since the preservation
of the remainder is necessary from the
standpoint of dollars and cente the gov
ernment has undertaken to protect the
intoxicating birds and assist in their
natural increase.

Association which was held in Boise
from January 11th TO the 18th. laid
emphasis upon the need of advertis

neglected the most essential thing in
failing to advertise their wares and
that they should be continually agi-
tating to get apples consumed in
place Of bananas. grape fruit and or
anges.
President Yost. in his opening re-
marks. stated that success will de-
pend entirely upon proper growing
cooperation in marketing and then
energetic advertising in developing the
markets. In the central states, only
two per cent of the apples consumed
are boxed. Yost stated that it was
up to the growers to unite in cam
paign to educate the other 98 per
cent, not only in the central states,
but elsewhere as well.
The convention was well attended
during the entire session.
