Immense Clock Wheel.

four-ton clock wheel about twenty
feet in diameter was recently con-
veyed on an auto truck to the summit
of Mount Wilson California; for use
in the Carnegie observatory. The
wheel, which is for driving the 100
inch telescope, will be attached to
solid steel shaft nearly two feet in
diameter. which will revolve with the
exact speed OF the earth, but in the
opposite direction. The wheel was
carried up the mountain in two pieces
over road nine miles long, with an
average grade OF 10 per cent and
maximum grade OF 10 per cent.

CAVALRY OF LESS MOMENT
Its use as in Former Wars Has Been
Greatly curtailed In Pres
ent Conflict.

1t is perhaps too much to say that
the cavalry has ceased to be the eyes
OF the army, but 1t is certainly true
that its role In this respect has great
ly diminished. OF its role in battle
1t appears that on one occasion bri-
gade or division OF English cavalry
was effectively used at critical point
during the retreat through Belgium
and northern France in the first weeks
of the war; but SO far as the public
accounts inform us the part played by
uhlans, Cossacks. chasseurs, lancers.
hussars and dragons is almost insig-
nifcant in comparison with previous
wars.
II does not appear that the practice
Of using cavalry as mounted infantry,
lighting on foot. or for the purpose OF
making raids around the enemy's
rear, both OF which were carried to
such degree of perfection during the
Civil war, has at any time been made
lse of during the present war.
It would seem, therefore, as II the
cavalry arm was much less necessary
to an army now than hitherto. II is
another case of the animal giving
place to a machine. which is so char
acteristic of the present age, in war

RICHES AND GREED
The Spectacle Of Americans Thriving
on Europe's Woe.

on Europe's Woe.
comparison between Canada and
the United States at this TIME makes
one almost wish that this country,
for the sake OF the soul Of it, might
have come closer to the cleansing fire
that has chastened and purified its
neighbor; it almost iustihes the hope
that before this war is ended the
United States may become sufficiently
involved to sober its thought and
bring itsfpeeple TO a realizing sense of
the need and value of self.sacriiice and
sober self-searching, accompanied by
national regeneration.
During the first year of the war,
the United States was appalled, and
awed by the disaster. 1t donned its
sackcloth and wore its ashes, walking
humbly, in full consciousness that its
margin of safety was very narrow,
and that any day its own people might
be overtaken by the same demon that
had fastened upon Europe and was
rending it to pieces. Then deep sym
patty with the suffering of their fell
low-beings abroad manifested itself
among Americans in deeds of splendid
charity and isolated examples of volun
tary self.sacrifce.
Time, however, passed. and the rod
did not descend. While others were
fighting desperately in behalf of their
countries, Americans lived at peace
Confidence grew, and with it came,
not only the assurance of prosperity,
but the reward OF great and increasing
wealth, mainly resultant from the mis-
fortunes of other nations.
The great fountain of charity that
at first gushed forth generously in be-
halt of the stricken peoples abroad
seems practically to have dried up;
Americans need their money for their
own selfish enjoyments, and the more
they make out of the war, the less in
clined they seem to be to give to those
who are in dire suffering from it,
Never before in the history of the
United States have New York and
other cities where Americans go for
their designations and pleasures been
so filled with luxury-seekers bent upon
spending money resklessly, wastefully
and without return further than the
momentary qualification of the baser
appetites. In all the winter pleasure
resorts of the country, West, East and
South, the display of extravaganza has
been unlimited and unparalleled. The
nauseating exhibition of the newly
rich at these places has been far more
pretentious and disgusting than ever
before.
Speculation has thrived; crime has
rather increased than abated; the
standard of the cost of living has enor
mously advanced; Injuries have be-
come necessities, and the scale of ex-
pense has rapidly gone upward Mean
time, if one is to judge by the pro-
ceedings of Congress, the measure of
the political mind has descended to a
low level indeed, in which towards in
