An Electrical Crew Coach.

Cornell University is trying out a
new invention in its rowing practice
this spring which is said to synchronize
the movement of the eight men upon
the team into one single smooth pull
coming from eight separate oars The
apparatus consists of a series of tiny
electric bulbs. a red one and a white
one in front of each oarsman, with a
set of eight white ones together A
stroke of the crew lights all the white
lights down the row. Red lights in
dicate the recovery. and by watching
the lights in front of him each in
dividual knows how closely he is keep
ing time with the others. The electric
device lessons the work of the human
coach, who is able to give his attention
to the individual members of the eight.
The electric coach is the invention Of a
Cornell graduate.

RAIDS AUSTRIAN U-BOAT BASES
IN LONG-FORGOTTEN PROVINCE
Italian Fleet Captures Secret Supplies on
Rock-Bound, Forbidding Coast Of
Ancient African Cyrenaica.

The reported successful raid of an
Italian feet on the secret submarine
bases established by Austria on the
northern coast of Africa, Just west of
Egypt, brings to the attention of the
world an almost forgotten province.
which was once dotted with magnificent
cities of culture and wealth. Concern
ing this region. known in ancient times
as Cyrenaica. and corresponding very
closely to the modern province of Barca,
between Tripoli and Egypt. the Ma
tional Geographic Society has issued
the following bulletin:
"Cyrenaica. whose dangerous coast
line. devoid of good harbors. is said to
have furnished EXCELLENT places of con-
cealment for stores of food and fuel
needed by Austrian submarines operat-
ing in the southeastern end of the
Mediterranean. was once the seat of
culture of one of the most prosperous
Greek colonies of the south. Today
this territory. with an area equal to
that of Scotland. supports population
of only 250.000,. many of whom are
nomads.
Directed by Delphian Oracle.
'Cyrene. capital of the ancient prov
ince, is reputed to have been settled by
Battus who. seeking to avoid political
strife in the island of Thera, brought a
few colonists to the African shore. He
chose the site in accordance with a
suggestion from the oracle of Delphi,
which commended place between
waters The four springs. which fur
nished an abundance of pure water, on
prominence ten miles from the sea-
shore, was construed to fit this de-
scription. after an earlier choice of a
barren island had proved unhappy.
THE town took it's name from that
of wood nymph who is supposed to
have lived in the vicinity. on the
slopes of verdant hills where today nu-
merous herds of nomads find unsur
passed pasturage.

LAS early as the fourth century. how
ever, historians employed the phrase
deserted towns in writing of Cyrene
and others of the five cities which orig
inally gave the name of Pentapolis to
the region.
Fruits and Flowers Aplenty.
"On these we'll wooded. amply wa

was cultivated variety of barley
much priced by the ancients. while
fruits and flowers still grow here in
great luxuriance. almost on the fringe
of the Lbyan desert. One of the most
famous products of Greek Cyrenalca
was the silphium plant. whose reputed
marvellous medicinal properties made 1t
a most valuable article of export. No
plant grown in this part of the world
today has properties of nature so re-
markable as to identify it as silphium.
Its cultivation, therefore, may be re-
garded one of the lost arts.
Among Cyrene's native sons whose
names add luster to the history of the
ancient city are Callima chus, the poet.
and Aristippus, pupil of Socrates. who
founded the Greek school of philosophy

school: forerunner of Epicureanism;

and doubtless could be secured. Yes,

Never was there such agony over
an election in the history of the
country. Neither democrats or re-
pubhcans know how it is going. 1t
is so close at this writing Ctwo days
after the election was held that it
is hazardous to make safe guess.
All day Wednesday it looked like
Wilson, a vast difference between
the night before when it looked very
much like Hughes, in fact his elec-
tion was almost conceded. The re-
sult from the vote Wednesday show
ed Wilson in the lead and this morn
ing early Hughes was credited with
239 and Wilson 232 in the electoral
college with so votes doubtful. By
Q o'clock the vote had shifted to 252
for Wilson and every hour or so
Thursday until the time this was
written the vote changed, each side
claiming the election. The demo
Gratis have challenged the vote of
New Hampshire which their
manager says went for Wilson while
the republicans claim it By the mar
row margin of 161 -. -
The vote of West Virginia is also
uncertain and a close watch is kept
over it. The other doubtful states
are California, Minnesota. Nebraska
New Mexico, North Dakota and
Washington with Sc votes, although
Nebraska and California are practic-
aIlo conceded to the democrats.
Idaho also leans strongly to PreSi-
dent Wilson, and in Minnesota the
Wilson vote has diminished but he
still has small lead.
President Wilson says he is conf
dent at this hour that he has been
elected.
Never did a more loyal crowd
stick to Wilson like big brothers than
did the democrats here-they were
vitality interested in the outcome
and remained on the streets day
and night trying to get some word
of encouraeement. Of course the
republicans were also interested In
