WONDERFUL ENGINES OF WAR
Marvellous Are the Devices That Are
Being Employed by the Op-
posing Armies.

The Germans have adopted several

war, such as armored car destroyers,
qufck-hring guns on motorcycles,
canal gunboats, and other similar in
ventions A wonderful stereo-telescope
produced by the famous firm of Beiss
deserves inclusion. Every battery of
German artillery is provided with one.
1t is a remarkable instrument, which
can be used behind cover out of
sight of the enemy. The outstanding
features are two long slender arms
rather like the antennae of an insect.
Though absolutely invisible at very
short distance, the antennae can give
the hidden operator very extensive
view. To insure the accurate drop
ping OF bombs from aeroplanes, the
Germans have an air-gun appliance
which pushes the bomb out from the
back of the aeroplane with the same
velocity as that at which the aero
plane is flying, thus doing away with
the curve with which the bomb would

Iona Retain Evil Qualities.

The exceedingly minute organism
that causes infantile paralysis, identi-
Ned by DR. Simon Flexner OF the Rock
efeiler institute, has survived and re-
tanned its poisonous qualities for more
than year In cultures kept by Doctor
Fiexner, Doctor Noguchi. and DIR. Har-
old l.. Amoss. The Journal of Expert
mental Medicine says that NEGOTIATIONS
OF cultures into monkeys which fail To
produce paralysis may fail also to In
duce resistance or immunity, The vi
rus contained in infected nervous It's
sues also fails to produce immunity
The experiments prove more strongly
that the organism In monkeys is the
same as that which produces poll
omyelitls In children.

GREAT PREACHER'S LAST DAY
Closing Hours Of George Whlteheids
Mortal Life Passed Amid Beautiful
Surroundings.

Two hundred years ago the great
evangelist, George Whitefield, was
born in Gloucester, England Four
years after graduating from Oxford
university. in 1876, he came to New
England On the 29th day of Septem-
Der, l71O. the immortal Whitefeld WIS.,
tied Exeter. N. H.. and preached his
last sermon. the eighteen thousandth.
and partook OF his last dinner at the
nome OF Colonel Gilman on up
per FroEt street-built i'll 1880. The
out-of-docr religious service must have
been sublime beyond the power of lam
guage. 1t was the threshold of fall;
the fields were still fragrant with clo-
yer, and glorified with the splendid
eoldenrod The foliage on the in
comparable elms had begun to assume
Madeira wine tinge and the earth
was rich in the glory that none could
pass by. The day was brilliant with
clear air and sunshine. 1t is said
that the lightning flashes of White
fields eloquence were never written,
and could never be repeated. GIFTED
with a daring fancy, full of pathos, he
moved his hearers at will with every
emotion of which human nature is
susceptible. A multitude OF people
had collected from all the neighboring
towns. Among the citizens Of Exeter
stood John Phillips, i'll ruffied shirt.
knee-breeches with silver buckles, and
cooked hat in hand The waiting throng
stood speilbound under the monument
al trees on beautiful Front street, and
over all was the infinite peace of
cloudless sky. With the sunset of that
rare day the curtain of time was about
to ring down for George Whitefieid.
After sermon lasting two hours he
rode to Newburyport, where at the
hour of midnight the veil OF immortal
ity was lifted and the great soul passed
out to a further life

"Appetizer" for Vegetables.

Not fertilizer but an appetizer for
vegetables is supplied by the radioac
tive earth taken from the refuse of the
carnotite mines of Colorado and
sowed at the rate of fifty to one hun
dred pounds per acre in order to in
crease crops from l9 to 1915 per cent
over plots treated in precisely the
same way, except for the addition of
the radium earth. DR.. H. II. Rusby,
Dean of the Columbia College of Phar-
macy has published his report in the
journal Of the New York Botanical
garden. This carnotite earth must
emit rays OF a different kind from
those of ordinary earth, which is 20
times as radioactive. 1t would be well
worth the time of scientists skilled in
separating the alpha. beta, and gamma
rays of radioactive substances to find
out which kind best stimulates plant
growth.

Dressings for Soldiers Wounds.

The demand for dressing materials
that is, materials for dressing wounds
is reported as immense in Europe,
and krecke, a German military sur
geon, is quoted by the Medical Record
as prophesying that in this war the
incapacitated will reach 50 per cent
Of the actual combatants. Economies
are being practiced in dressing the
wounds of soldiers, small wounds be-
ing fixed up with little null and a
patch OF adhesive plaster instead OF
a wad Of cotton and long strips of
bandage. Padding material is being
used by the surgeons generally only
for fractures Roller bandages are
being used as seldom and as sparingly
as possible. Plaster OF paris dressings
for gunshot fractures are being used
as one OF the economies in the military
hospitals.

TURPINITE is LITTLE USED
AsphyxIating Shells Have Been Found
to Have Small Effect in the
Open Field.

At the beginning of the war a great
deal was said about the newly-discov.
cred turpinite shells, which, it was
asserted would kill by asphyXiation
all living creatures within a certain
radius. Since then surprise has often
been expressed why little or no use OF
this wonderful explosive has been
made by the French artillery. There
are reasons to explain its nonemploy-
ment
In the first place, turpinite shells
have little effect in the open field
They can only be usefully fired
against inclosed spaces, forts or
dwellings. And so long as the enemy
is on French or Belgian soil the risk
to French or Belgian civilians would
be too great to justify the use of tur-
pinite in the bombardment of towns
and villages. Moreover the new ex-
plosive can only be used with special
ly constructed guns of most delicate
machinery Used with the ordinary
seventy -tives" its dangers would be
almost as great to the French gunners
as to the enemy.
The speculation now will be
whether turpinite will come into its
own if Germany is invaded and its
fortresses are bombarded.

HARD TIMES IN THE SOS

The mother who had five little chill
dren to look after during the hard
times that followed the Civil war, was
talking about the high prices which
the European conflict is causing,

We women wore calico dresses a
