out of question as to the humanity

IL had the honor TO represent the
French navy at the conference" said
Admiral Lecsze, "and remember the
dramatic sitting during which Baron
Marshall Won Bieberstein, Germany's
chief delegate, regarding as an insult
something one French delegate said
concerning humane sentiments of Ger
man officers, bounded from his chair as
II outraged, and stood before us pro-
testing in the angriest terms against
any such reflection.

fore the representatives of forty-four
countries" continued the Admiral, "and

Bieberstein TO be dead before suffering
the pain Of seeing men whom he had
placed so high in public opinion COM
hitting a most sbominable act, an act
premeditated, cold-blooded, against

now concerned, refer to Won Bieber-
stems words at the Hague confer
ence."

UNEARTHS oLD-TIME GUN

EUREKA, Dec. 16.-An interest ing relic of pioneer days has been uneartded by Morris Carpenter, a rancher residing on the shores of Sophie Lake. Apparently it is a remodeled gun, the barrel being the old Enfield pattern, had-made and muzzle-loading, which at about
 the year of 1886 was the United States government rifle. The breech works are of the Marlin Ballard patent of 1851, and pro- bably were put on at later date, when it was converted from a mug z'e-loader to breech loader with ste trigger attachment.
 In connection with tho finding of this relic it is reported that something over year ago Horace Brown, while hunting in the same vicinity in which the gun was found stumbled across part of human skull, which is now in the pos session of Sanm McCarty, business man of Fortine. That there is some relationship between the find ing of these two objects in the same vicinity is highly probable.

REMARKABLE ALLOY CALLED
 "TNVAR"

The city of Philadelphia, acting on the recommendation of the Frank lin Institute of that city, has a. warded the John Scott legacy medal and premium to Dr. Charles Edward Guillaume of Sevres France for his alloy metal, invar. This alloy, which is approximately 36 per cent. nickel steel, has been found to be remarkable for it's small rate of change of size with alienation of temperature.
 Some specimens have been pre- pared with temperature co-ef- ficient sensibly zero, while others have very small co-efficients which may be either positive or negative. By using this alloy in clock making it has been possible to give atten- tion to small corrections which had previously been wamped by the out lying Irregularities left incorrect in the older methods of temperature compensation. In the measurment of base lines for triangulation work in surveying, invar tapes are large ly employed, and this has led to increased accuracy, notably les sening the time required in cary ing out such work.
 lnvar standards are also employed in accurate laboratory work, and the alloy has been used to some extent in eletric lighting in connec- tion with the seals of lamps.
