JUDGE ROBERT N. DUNN
VISITOR IN CALDWELL
North Idaho Jurist is Candidate for
Justice of Supreme Court.

Judge Robert N. Dunn was in
caldwell Saturday evening of Last
week. Judge Dunn had just come in
from Weiser. He went from Cald-
well to TwiIl/Falls and will then re-
turn to his home in north Idaho.
Judge Dunn is a district Judge in
the First Judicial District of Idaho
which consists of the northern most
counties of the state. He is a candi-
date for Justice of the State Supreme
Court Judge Dunn is one of the best
known and most popular district
Judges in Idaho. He has a great many
friends in this section of Idaho who
hope and believe that he will be one
OF the two nominees.
Well Pleased With Outlook.
Judge Dunn stated that he had
covered a considerable portion of
southern Idaho. He has only two
weeks to make a campaign in and will
be unable to visit all sections.
He states that he has been warmly
welcomed in every section he has
visited-a and is confident that he will be
nominated as one of the two non
partisan candidates for justice. He
was we'll pleased with the reception in
this part of the state as we'll as in the
southeast. Judge Dunn has met a
great many of the leading men of
southern Idaho and a great majority
of them have assured him of his nomi-
nation.
Judge Dunn is very able as we'll as
a very popular man wherever he is
known. 1t is too bad that his duties
as district judge give him SO little
time to get over the state and get ac-
quainted. In spite of this his friends
state that he will be one of the nomi-
nees.
The three candidates, two of whom
will be nominated at the primary
election are Judge Dunn, Mr.. Justice
Sullivan and Mr.. John c. Rice of
Caldwell

Fumed Oak.


A good method Of producing the Pc
culiar dark brown Of old oak is by
fumigation with liquid ammonia. The
wood should be placed in a dark and
alright room, and half pint or so of
ammonia poured into an open dish
placed upon the ground The gas that
comes from the ammonia acts in a
wonderful manner upc- he tannic
acid In the wood, al WINS it so
deeply that a shaving wo may be
taken off without rer, the color.
The depth of shade viii d lend upon
the quantity of ammonia used and the
time allowed for the operation. Other
methods may be used to obtain SIM
liar result. Liquid ammonia may be
laid on the wood with brush or rag,
and the color will deepen Immediately.
Potash bichronate, dissolved in cold
water, will produce a similar effect.
In Germany, the cabinet makers use
very strong coffee for darkening oak.
To make 1t very dark, use iron filings
with a little sulphuric acid and water,
put on with sponge, and allow it to
dry between each application, until the
right hue is reached

Perhaps, in another generation, the

Unstable Moan.

The celebrated observatory at
Greenwich, the place from which we
reckon longitude. was founded by
Charles II in 1875, mainly fer the pur-
pose of investigating the movements
Of the moon in the interests of naviga-
ton. Although in the intervening two
and q half centuries astronomers have
worked at the problem. the moon has
not yet become entirely amenable
to their mathematics. The astrono-
mer-royal of Great Britain, in his re-
port of the work at Greenwich during
the past year, calls attention to the in
creasing deviation between the cal
culated position Of the moon in the
sky and its real position as shown by
the Greenwich observations. The de-
Walton has lately been growing in a
serious manner The error last year
was more than twelve times as large
as the error twenty years ago, and the
average annual increase during the
two decades has amounted to half
second of arc in longitude The rea-
son that astronomers have failed in
getting exact results from calculations
based on dynamical, laws of gravita-
ton is possibly the existence of some
attractive force that they have not
yet discovered, although the result
may also be affected by the true shape
of the earth, which still awaits accu-
rate Observation-Disclosures Compan-
ion.

ROUTINE DAY AT FORT MYER
Strenuous Duties That Are Demanded
of Soldiers From ReveiIle

A soldiers day is from the first note
Of reveille to the last note of retreat.
In the gray light of daybreak the bugle

the day is one of strict routine and
discipline, Mrs George F. Richards
writes in the National Magazine.
A rough outline of routine day at
Fort Myer is: Rise, roll call, break
fast, groom horses. fall in for drill,
which lasts several hours or until time
for the monday dinner. For the after
noon there are various designated du-
ties for officers and men, which may
include attendance at lectures or dem
onstration work, board meetings,
courts-martial, training for extra
drills, attendance at military funerals
and other services, either obligatory
or voluntary. At sunset again comes
roll call, followed by one of the most
impressive ceremonies of the day.
The troops assemble, facing the col.
ors; the band plays the "Star-Spangled
Banner as the colors are slowly low

till they reach the ground. The sun
set gun booms across the field; the
bugle sounds retreat, and the garrison

Bees Get busy on Train.

Returning from the Oregon hills,

mountains hunting, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
win Bender brought, in addition to
considerable game, pasteboard box
with a swarm of bees they captured
in the woods, WiIliamsport (Pa.)
dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer
states.
On account of the cold the bees were
easily handled, but when they were
taken into the steam-heated passen-
ger coach of a Northern Central train
at Trout Run they began to get busy,
and in few minutes emerged from
numerous punctuges that had been
made to give them air.
In less time than it takes to tell, the
passengers had all fed to the next
coach, and the bees held the fort for
some time. Finally the conductor put
on pair Of gloves, made a dash into
the car and, raising the window, tossed
the box Of bees out into the night, but
not before he had been caressed on
the nose by hot-footed one.

Aluminium In War.

Austria and Germany use more
aluminium for war purposes than all
the other warning nations combined
It has been known, in fact, that Ger.
many has for some years been collect
ing and storing the metal for war
uses.
The great majority Of the drinking
mugs, cans and cups of the German
soldier are made of the light metal.
The frames for Zeppelins and the
fuses for shells are made from alu-
minum.
One of the difficulties the Ger
mans have had to face is the short
age of copper necessary for the rings
around shells. Many Of the German
shells are now provided with alumni
UNI rings
Although aluminium does make a
substitute, even in cartridges as well
as shells and fuses, it is not go good
as copper. The French authorities ex-
perimented with it some years ago for
artillery purposes, but rejected it.
The Germans are using it in such
large quantities because they're forced
to do so on account Of the shortage
of copper.

ALL BIRDS FLEE FOREST
Argonne, Where French and Germans
Arc In Conflict, Deserted by Their
Natural Inhabitants.

When the history Of the present Eu-
ropean war is written, the forest of
Argonne will be recorded as the
place where more blood was shed than
in any other spot on the wide fields
Of conflict. The French made stand
there on the first German drive to-
wards Paris, and, later, when the
Germans were forced back, it was the
scene of weeks and months of desper-
ate struggle.
Not bird is left in the forest and
practically every tree, which remains
standing, bears the mark Of battle. It
was swept by artillery fire time after
time. and was the scene of desperate
hand-to-hand fighting.
But it was not the frat time, for in
the campaign preceding the battle Of
Sedan, in the Franco-German war Of
1870, it was the scene of many san
culinary struggles.
The forest covers a number of
wooded heights, 800 or 900 feet high,
in the northeastern part of France in
French Lorraine and Champagne. 1t
is about thirty miles long, and from
one to eight miles wide. 1t is bounded
by the sources of the Aisne, runs along
that river to the Mouse and northward
to Chene-Populeux, separating a
stretch of fertile plains from the bar
rem steppes between Vitry and Sc
zanne.
