CARE FOR GRAVES OF FALLEN.
French Children Honor German as Well
as Their Own Heroes.

as Their Own Heroes.
When, after the battle of the Marine,
the fields and forests were filed with
dead heroes, thousands Of willing
hands, young and old. dug graves on
which girls and women planted little
wooden crosses with the names of the
fallen soldiers in ink or pencil.
As there was danger that agricultural
labor would destroy these graves and
the weather efface the inscriptions, the
municipal and village authorities ev-
erywhere have issued instructions that
all these graves are to be left intact
and suitable measures taken to pre-
serve the Inscriptions.
School children regularly visit the
graves and cover them with flowers,
and, be it said in honor of themselves
and their teachers, the German graves
have as good care as the French.

Of three operators. two engineers. a

No women are permitted to land on

ed TO sign a contract whereby they
agree to remain at least eighteen
months or waive their right to free re-
turn transportation. Those remaining

to their homes by way of one OF the
Central American ports and are grant

Cactuses of Arizona.

Arizona has more than a hundred
kinds of cactnses. and Tucson is the
center Of the great cactus region Of
the southwest. These odd plants range
in size from the noble sahuara, or giant
cactus, forty or fifty feet high. to small
pincushion cactuses an inch or two in
diameter. Sahuaras grow In great
abundance in the foothills between
Tucson and Yuma and are always OBJ
jects of wonder. 1t is believed large
plant is at least 200 years old. The
fruit begins TO ripen in June and is
gathered in great quantities by In.
dians, who make fine jam and also a
pressed sweetmeat of it.

MAxlM'S MACHINE GUN.
A Terrible Engine Of Death Which
Works Automatically,

~ ~
Early in life Hiram Maxim showed
himself a marvellous genius as an In.
ventor. An incident of his boyhood, in
which the recoil Of a rifle attracted his
attention to an apparent loss Of pow
er, led him in 1872 to utilize the force
Of the recoil to good account in gun
which loads itself automatically and
fires at the rate of no shots minute
by the power Of the previously wasted
force.
The Maxim machine gun is an en-
gine of terrible destruction. This gun
has only Il single barrel, which, when
the shot is fired. recoils the distance Of
three-quarters of an inch on the other
parts of the gun. This recoll sets mov-
ing the machinery which automatical.
ly Keeps up continuous fire at the ex.
traordlnary rate of twelve rounds Il

Each recoil Of the barrel has there.
fore to perform the necessary functions
of extracting and ejecting the empty
cartridge, Of bringing up the next full
one and placing it in its proper posi-.
tion in the barrel, of cooking the ham
mer and pulling the trigger.
AS long as the firing continues these
functions are repeated round after
round in rapid succession. The barrel
is provided with water jacket to pre-
vent excessive heating.-Philadelphia

oDEssA's RAPID RISE.
In Commerce and Intellect II 10 the
Capital Of New Russia.


Odessa is one of the most important
seaports of Russia. ranking, by reason
of its population and its foreign trade,
after Petrograd, Moscow and Warsaw.
Since it was founded in 1904 near the
ruins of Turkish fort that fell into
Russian hands in 1880 it has rapidly
become the intellectual and CONNER
cia capital of what is called New Rus
sia. 1t is the principal export town
for the extensive grain growing dis
trlcts of south Russia, the see of an
archbishop of the Greek Orthodox
church. the center of fine university
and the headquarters Of the Seventh
army corps
The port lies on the shore Of the
Black sea, about midway between the
estuaries of the Dniester and Dnieper,
9G7 miles from Moscow and 3Sl from
Kiev. The city is built facing the sea-
on low cliffs, scanned with deep ra-
vines and followed out by galleries in
the soft rock. in which thousands OF
the poorest inhabitants live But above
this are fine broad tree lined streets
and squares bordered with handsome
public buildings and mansions in the
Italian style and good shops. Besides
the cathedral there are dozens of other
churches. fine opera house and the
Paais Royal which is favorite place

GOING ROUND THE WORLD.
The Gain or Loss of One Whole Day In
Making the Trip.

The Gain or Loss of One Whole Day In
Making the Trip.
In sailing around the world eastward
the days are each a little less than
twenty-four hours, according to the
speed of the ship. as the sun Is met a
little earlier every morning. These lit.
tie differences added together will
amount to twenty-four hours. This
gives the sailors an extra day-not in
imagination, but as an actual fact
They will have done an extra days
work. eaten an extra days ration Of
food and enjoyed an extra nights
sleep.
On the other hand. in sailing west
ward the sun Is oyertaken q little each
day, and so each day is rather longer
than twenty.four hours, and clocks and
watches are found to be TOO fast. This
also will amount in sailing around the
world to the point of departure to one
whole day by which the reckoning has
fallen in arrears. The eastern bound
ship, then, has gained day, and the
western bound ship has last one.
This straugr fact. clearly worked out,
leads Ia the apparent paradox that the
first named ship has gain of two
whole days over the latter, If We sup.
pose them to have departed from port
and returned together. - Westminster
Gazette.

Uses Newspaper
For Exploitation

Tom Richardson, the father and
founder of the Oregon Development
League, is doing a similar work for
Texas, as secretary of the South
and East Texas Development
League" There are few men in the
United States who can equal Mr..
Richardson as an organizer of COM
mercial bodies and creator of popu-
lar interest and activity in civic af-
fairs. He did a spelndid work for
Oregon, and was for many years a
factor in the states progress and de-
velopment.
Mr.. Richardson is firm believer
in the value of newspaper advertis-
ing for community exploitation, as
well as commercial publicity. He
sent thousands of marked copies of
the annual trade number of the
Houston Post all over the United
states in order TO tell effectively the
story of the development going on in
that part of the country. The issue
Of the Post of October 10 contains a
solid page of letters, received from
prominent men in every part of the
United States, expressing favorable
opinions of Mr. Richardson's work
and Of the paper itself. The results
of this publicity effort show clearly
the value of the press in every de-
partment OF advertising. 1t shows,
also, the value to a community of a
first class newspaper, and how it may
be made real factor in its progress
and prosperity.
