GERMAN REPORT ON
 RAID ON ENGLAND
Incendiary Bombs Dropped By Zep- peIinS on Docks, HarbOrS and Fac
 tories-Much Damage Done.

Berlin, Feb. 2.-The German ad- miraltys report on the Zeppelin raid of England says that incendiary bombs were dropped on and near Liverpool, Birkenhead Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Great Yarmouth. Violent fires occurred. All the airships re- turned in safety. The text of the off, cial statement reads:
 "A German squadron during the night of January 31-February 1 dropped a large number of incendiary bombs on and near the Liverpool and Birkenhead docks, harbor and factor ies, also on the Manchester Iron Works and Blackblast Furnaces and on the Nottingham and Sheffield fac tories and blast furnaces and, finally, on a large number of industrial es- tablishments on the Humber and near Great Yarmouth (Norfolk). At all these places heavy explosions and most serious fires. On the Humber one battery was silenced.
 "The airships were heavily fired upon from all points, but were not hit. All the airships, in spite of the enemy's efforts, returned to safety.

According to superstitious folk, the tctal eclipse of the sun on February 3 is an omen of evil or good in the war. The astronomers reported that the eclipse would be visible as a par tial eclipse in the United States, be- ginning in the Pacific Ocean, moving eastward, crossing the north portion Of Colombia, South America, north of Caracas, Venezuela, passing over the island of Gaudeloupe, in the West IT dies, and ending at sunset in the Atlantic Ocean, south of Ireland. Some folks believe that as the, eclipse

Before astrono- rners succeeded in working out solar and lunar eclipses on a basis or exact mathematics, so that they could oe predicted years in advance, they were generally looked upon all over the world as being supernatural Vlslta- tons which portended great evil or great good. Some folks still think so, but they do not agree in their opinion of this months eclipse. Some hold it means a long term of war.

"Jewels," like the one in the photo- graph, pictured in exact size, made the Tower of Jewels at the Panama Pacific exposition in San Francisco a wonder of glory by day and by night. Through tiny mirrors at the backs of the 100000 "jewels'' sunlight and searchlight beams were reflected with prismatic scintillations that aroused the ecstatic admiration of millions of beholders. Now that the exposition is closed and the Tower of Jewels is no more, the "jewels'' have been dis trlbuted throughout the country as souvenirs. Each bears a, little brass medal attesting it's genuineness.
