Plnloned. Saved by Penknlfe.

Caught beneath a falling tree.
Thomas j. Todd, farmer, near Fed
eralsburg, Md, had narrow escape
from being crushed to death. He was
passing through woods on his farm
when large tree suddenly fell, knock
ing him down and pinioning him be-
meath it.
Realizing his perilous position, with
no help near, he reached in his pocket
and managed to get his knife. Lying
on his back, undergoing severe pain,
he cut down two saplings and with the
prongs of these, after an hours work,
succeeded In prying the tree off his
lower limbs far enough to let him
squeeze out.
He was brought to physician in
fredericksburg and his wounds dressed.

Looking Ahead.

A somewhat impecunious young fel-
low in Philadelphia rashly engaged
himself to a charming young thing,
who, shortly after the excitement had
subsidized, began to evince doubts. Said
she:
"How long, dearie, do you think
we shall have to be engaged?'
"Well, sweatheart,' said the young
man cheerily, Il have enough money
to last for six months, think"

TO DECEIVE THE MUSCLES
Batsman's Regular Act Has a Signtl-
canoe That Perhaps All Have Not
Fully Realized.

The act of batsman in netting two
bats together around few times be-
fore he takes his place at the plate
to hit at a ball with single bat is
now considered an event of deep psy-
Geological significance. AS all the
world knows, the reason the batter
does this is to make the single heavy
bat feel lighter and to fool his arm
into believing that it can make the
single bat gambol through the at
mosrhere with great speed, having
been freed of the incubus of the other
bat.
Psychology has found out that it
Is actually possible to fool the mus
cles as if they were people-almost.
This is demonstrated in the labora-
tory by making the arm, say, go
through certain rhythmic movements
for a short while, and then running in
a variation on it.
For instance, person is told to
lift and put down in succession a COM
Iaratively heavy weight, then a light
weight, etc. He goes through these
1aotions several times, and then the
light weight is changed for one some
what heavier. OF course it is the same
size as all the others, so that the per-
sons mind will not be prejudiced be-
forehand When the hand goes to
lift this one it rises as spontaneously
us with the very light weight used
before.
Ordinarily it is shown in the labora-
tory that weights are lifted by the sub
ject at different rates Of speed, the
heavier the slower This takes place
unconsciousy.

Combating Gas Fumes.

The armies of the allies are using
sponges or gauze soaked with some
solution to absorb the chlorine and
bromine gases employed by the Ger
mans in trench warfare. Ordinary
"hypo," or sodium thiosulphate, ia
widely used for this purpose and it
gives generally good results except
that the reaction between the hypo
and the chlorine or bromine liberates
some hydrochloric and sulphuric acid
