Method of Locating Guns.

Science has discovered that gun.
fire affects the earth's surface much
as an earthquake, so 1t is not surpris-
ing to learn that guns are being To-
Gated by the seismograph-the deli
cate little instrument which records
terrestrial tremOrs. An Austrian au.
thority on the subject of earthquake
disturbances announces that the seis-
mograph can record the position of
hostile artillery as well as the caliber
Of the guns.
In a fairly recent engagement be-
tween italian and Austrian troops on
the Isonzo, the tremors induced by the
heavy %cannonade ere only registered
by the apparatus, and the operator
was able to detect, by e of dia-
grams of artificial movements Of the
ground, the difference between the
shocks produced by the fall of projec.
tiles and those caused by the recoil Of
the guns. Moreover, the form Of the
tracings revealed to the practiced eye
the number as well as the caliber OF
the latter.-Popular Science Monthly.

NINE SOLDIERS CAPTURE 1ls
Frenchmen Trick the Defenders of ,
German Field Fort on
the Somme.

One Of the most striking episodes
Of the great Somme offensive was the
recent taking Of the. field fort at BIZ
anches and it's garrison of 113 men
by nine French soldiers.
All attempts to storm the position
had been checked by murderous ma
chine-gun fire until a French officer
discovered q vulnerable point. Select
ing a second lieutenant, two %sergeants,
a corporal and four men, he led them
On hands and knees through the long
grass to the spot where he knew there
was a breach in the defenses. Then
three Of the French officers abruptly
leaped into the work, shouting in
stentorian tones: Forward with the
bayonet!" and throwing bombs which
exploded in the dugOut.
The Germans, believing n large force
was with the Frenchmen, had no time
to get their weapons and surrendered.
But now the three French captors be-
gan to feel nervous, as they saw no
reason why the Germans should not
fall upon them and exterminate them.
They were saved by the six comrades,
Who came rushing in just at this mo-
ment. Again fooled, the entire Ger
nan garrison was marched to the
French rear, escorted by the nine
"poilus," who had not lost a man.

The Danish West Indies.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The acquisition of the Danish West In
dies has long been a. object Of American
diplomacy, mainly because the fine harbor
at st. Thomas will make a valuable naval
base and coaling station. The islands
lie on the route from Europe to the
Panama canal, which this country may
have to defend, and they might also prove
valuable in the defense of Porto Rico,
from which they are distant about SO
miles to the eastward.
Otherwise they will be of little value.
Taken together, they have a smaller area
than is found in an ordinary county, n
the density of population is almost exactly
equal to that of the state OF New York,
which is about 100 to the square mile. 1t
is not likely, therefore, that there will be
any influx Of Americans to the islands ir
the present negotiations for their pur-
chase should terminate in a bargain.
The prosperity which the islands once
enjoyed is largely gone. and the harbors
that were formerly busy are deserted.
This, no doubt, is the reason why many
Of the people of the islands favor a trans
fer to the United States. A free market
in his sugar and banana eating land
would be welcome to them.

American Gold Holdings.

From Wagner's Letter to Grain Dealers.
We are getting so much the better of the
bargain with Europe in the exchange Of
foodstuffs, war supplies, etc, for our very
best securities that we should not taks
any other h a the most optimistic view OF
the situation. Remember, we are selling
our commodities at high prices, securing
unusual profits and taking our own stocks
and bonds back at comparatively low
prices. We are certainly not losing in these
transactions now and in the long run We
shall unquestionably be very materially
the gamer. The interest and dividend dis
bursements to European investors alone Is
a very considerable item.
A veritable tidal wave OF gold has been
swept into the United States in the last
Is months. Total gold reports now APP
proximate $685., 81, 900 which is three times
the extent Of the Bank of England's gold
holdings when the war began. Our total
holdings on July l were 81. 439, 92l, 1872. This
constitutes a record.

SLAVERY IN EARLY DAYS
Iy Tolerated by the British
Government.

Slavery existed in nearly all Of the
English colonies from an early pc,
:iod until shortly before or soon af,
:er the Revolutionary war, and the
African slave trade was openly toll,
Grated by the British government. In
1856 there were $4,000 African slaves
n the colonies, scattered from New
England to Georgia. 1t was not pro.
libited in Massachusetts until 1880,
nor in Vermont until 1777. The Unit.
ID States census of 1910 showed 310
laves in Connecticut, 1851 in New
Jersey, 15,017 in New York, 795 in
Pennsylvania, and 10S in Rhode Is
and. Slavery was gradually abolished
n the northern states, but in 1920
here were still 81 slaves in COnnec-
lieut., 1857 in New Jersey, 10.0SS in
New York, 211 in Pennsylvania, and
IS in Rhode Island. The census of
1850 showed the disappearance Of sla-
1ery in all the northern states except
New Jersey, which still had a surviv-
ng remnant of 236.

Remedies for "Chiauers.n

If a bath in hot water. or in water
containing salt or strong soap, is
taken within a few hours after ex-
posture in shrubbery and woods infest-
ed with "chiggers,' or red bugs" no
i'll effects will be experienced. After
n long exposure, however, a bath has
practically no effect, end direct RENE
dies are necessary.
After irritation has set in, and small
red spots appear. the application of Q
moderately strong solution Of ammo
MIA to the affected parts is recommends
ed by the department of agriculture's
entOmOlOgiSts. A Supersaturated SO
luton Of b~icarbOnate of soda. or com.
mon cooking soda or s%aleratus, will af.
ford relief. Liberal applications should
be made until the irritation subsidies.
If the suffering is severe a dilute tine
ture Of iodine or cOllOdion should be
lightly applied.

HOW MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED
Earth crumpIes Up and Makes Great
Hills Where Plains Once
Lay.

In the region now occupied by the
Wasatch mountains a number Of par
allel faults were developed close to.
gether and the broken pieces Of the
earth's crust between them were
pushed up, the rocks on one side of
each crack riding up over those on
the other side until a great mountain
range was formed where once lay a
plain. During the long period of slow
earth movement which made these
MOUNTAINS, flat-lying parallel beds of
rock were locally turned on edge,
crumpled up and folded in a wonder
fully intricate manner These up
turned and crumpled rocks are well ex-
posed in Ogden canyon. The west face
of the Wasatch range is believed to
mark a plain Of a norman fault at a
nearly vertical crack In the earth's
crust. the rocks on the east side of
which went down. The forces which
have raised these mountains are still
active, for movement along this fault
has disturbed the surface recently
