BLOCKADE HUNGER.

"The allies blockade of Germany is
Tightening up all along the line," said
a financier at New York dinner.
Fewer and fewer things are leaking
into Germany. Hunger, indeed a real
blockade hunger, is now making itself
felt among the Germans.
In a recent copper requisitioning
trip German officer said to a Ger
man housewife:
The kaiser wants all your kettles.
Well, I'm sure he's welcome to
them,' the housewife answered, for
we've had nothing to cook in them
since the Tightening of the blockade .

In a recent fight at Newport News,
Va, which lasted about two hours,
Victor Carlstrom broke all known aero
plane records BY ascending 1900 feet
with one passenger in the machine
beside himself. Owing to the altitude
and the speed with which they trav-
eled, ice formed on the radio terminals
nearly quarter of an inch in thick
ness.
DR.. Eric Doolittle, professor Of as
tronomy at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, condemns the historical paint
ing portraying Columbus on board his
ship the night before the discovery Of
America, now being shown at the Phil
adelphia exhibition Of American paint
ings. He says it is historically mac
curate because in the picture a full
moon is displayed. He finds that there
was no full moon on that night, and
substantiates his statements by ref
erenee to charts of that time. Painters
usually get the moon wrong when they
try to paint It, as they seldom possess
any scientific knowledge
