The finding of $20 gold piece in the cleanup of a Nome beach miner recently was given publicity, and brings to light the fact that a native there has picked up several $5 and $10 pieces during the past summer, and an Eskimo found 8 $20 gold piece. It is said that some of the natives make a regular practice of searching the beach there for lost coins.

THE BUSY STREET

/ love a busy, hustling town!
One day they put the paving down,
All nice and smooth and sweet; and
then
Next day they tear it up again.
From one end of the street back to
It's other end, that's what they do;
And then they get it smooth and fiat,
And give it its last loving pat,
And then there is a shrek of fear
Comes from the city engineer
He has mislaid his monkey wrench!
And instantly they start a trench
And toss the pavement all around
Until the monkey wrench is found!
And then they lamp the dirt in tight.
And get it levelled off all right,
And surface it with hard concrete,
And make a street as is a street
BY putting sand and brick on that,
And the steam roller makes it fiat,
Then they pierce that pavement clear
through and through
To lay line a pipe or two!
Then they repair that and it lies
Smoothly beneath the summer skies
For, it may be, a day or two;
Then there's a sewer to run through

American Military Attache Makes
Disastrous Experiment With
Germany'S Poison Gas

line Of gas masks, with gaping eye

The large bottles contained the
various forms of liquid gas, direct
from the front, and in varying de-
grees OF strength. Most Of them
showed q volatile yellowish liquid
which on being exposed to the air
gave OF the deadly gases which have
wrought such havoc. There were
three distinct groups Of these gases:
first, those bursting into fame and
commonly known as liquid fame:
second, the tear4producing gases,
which do not kill or permanently
main, but which so blind a column
of on-rushing troops that they be-
come helpless and are brought to
halt; and. third, the actual poison
gas which suffocates and kills with
ten times the horror of bullet or
shell. This last, It is the belief of
military experts, is a barbarism Of
warfare which must be ultimately
banned by the universal sentiment
Of civilization. But they are equally
of the belief that the lesser forms of
gas-which do not kill but merely
interrupt the forward progress of an
attack-are a permanent element of
defensive military strategy which
must be taken into consideration in
future warfare.

Paris, July 17.-Colonel Spencer
Cosby, United States military attache
at Paris, has been speaking in a
hoarse whisper of late. His friends
have noted it and have expressed
their regrets at his very bad cold.
Colonel Cosby's voice has not per-
mitted him to reply, and he has let
II go at that-a cold. But 1t was not
q cold. -.
The use which the German army
has made of poison gas in the pres
emit war has brought a new and ter
rible element Of destruction into
military science. Just what this ter
rible new agency is. what part 1t
plays in the offensive and defensive
tactics, and to what extent il any 1t
must be reckoned with as a perma-
nent element in future warfare
these are problems which the mill
tary experts throughout the world
are trying to determine. Here in
France where the poison gas has
been used with most deadly effect in
Champagne, Argonne, and all along
the fighting line, it's ravages have
been particularly apparent, and the
military attaches of many countries
have been active in securing data for
their governments on this new
agency. 1&E
Colonel Cosby shared the keen in
terest of his brother military investi-
gator and in one respect he went far
beyond them There was ample data,
from the battlefelds and the hospi-
tails, where CHASTITY patients were a
living witness OF the effects of the
new element. But Colonel Cosby de-
termined on direct personal inves-
tigation of the element itself-the
poison gas in all its forn1s-just as a
medical scientist has at times put
some new serum to the supreme test
on himself.
"But you should be warned of the
extreme risk" said the chief chem
ist. "It is very dangerous mat
ter of life and DEATH"
Yet against the warning was the
feeling that mysterious agency OF
warfare needed to be explored to itf
very end. And SO the word was Civ
en- to go ahead and the official
wheels turned swiftly in bringing
together all sorts of gas, fresh and
powerful, from the nearby fightinl
fronts.I
The facilities for such test of thu
gases were not easily obtained. Blu
these were at last secured, and 'th'
