IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
Trenches Only Little Way From
Being lmpregnabIe.

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Edward
Morlae describes very clever I'M
provement the Germans have made In
their barbed-wire defenses. The
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, of course, but the Germans have
found better support for them He
writes:
AFTER we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work to remodel
1t, shifting the parapet TO the other
side. building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
Job WAS done In wonderfully short
time. thanks to German thoroughness.
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire Is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, three-quarters of an inch
thick, twisted five times In the shape
of a great eorkscrew. This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like cork
puller into a cork. The straight part
of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six or seven small loops in
height of about five feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
solidiy secured with short lengths of
tying WIRE
First cutting the tying wire. we lift
ed the barbed wire out of the eyes.
showed small stick through one, and,
turning the rod with the leverage of
the stick. usncrewed 1t out of the
ground, and then. reversing the proc.
ess, screwed 1t in again. The advan-
tage of this rod is obvious. When n
shell falls In the midst of this wire
protection, the rods are bent and twist
ed, but unless broken Off short they
always support the wire, and even
after severe bombardment present q
serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown to
smithereens by the shells, and when
broken off they let the wire fall Hat
to the ground"

HERMIT'S FARE COSTS LITTLE
Reputed "Holy Man" Of Japan Sub.
sists on Laurel Leaves and a Few
Raw Potatoes Daily.

A hermit who has set up his private
shrine by the wayside calls himself
the incarnation Of Fudosama, the god
Of fire. This mysterious man makes
his abode in a little coop near the
botanical gardens, paying monthly
rental of S2.25. On the plaster Just
below the paper window Is written:
"The worshiplng place Of the wood
eating hermit"
Day and night one can see the flare
Of fire on the paper window and a low
voice can be heard, says the East and
West News. Every passer feels a
queer sensation as he goes by The
visitor knocked at the dismal-looking
entrance. The one who came to an
swer was the mysterious man. He
looked to be about fifty-five and in his
brawny and reflective features he
showed magnetic smile.
1t seems he began his piOus life by
scorching his body with lighted
candle to save the life of his sick
child. He tasted p days and prac-
ticed water meditation. The child re-
covered. His faith grew stronger. For
30 years past he has touched no rice
or other cereal. Before the visitor he
chewed some laurel leaves. Fifty of
these, five raw potatoes, little salt
and water, were his daily fare. He Is
said to effect miraculous cures.

KENYON MADE THEM HUNGRY

Senator Kenyon stirred the SEN

day. He was talking about child la
Dor. In the course Of his talk he
drew picture of a farmers boy sit
ting down to an old-fashioned coun-
try dinner.
The senator was contrasting the
life Of the factory boy and the farm
boy. He said that while the farm boy
worked in the fields, rested at noon by
turning the grindstone, MIXED the
cows and so on, still he went SWIM
ming and fishing. saw the circus, and
had pretty good time.

JUDGE CLAYTON KNEW

Sometimes 1t comes In handy for
a United States Judge to have been a
member Of congress. Judge Henry D..
Clayton. who Is ON the circuit bench Of
Alabama, not long ago was trying a
case In which the question of a mans
handwriting was involved. Under the
Alabama law it was always necessary
to prove persons handwriting, and
the admission Of ones writing by COM
parlson could not be taken In evil
dence to prove the authenticity Of a
document introduced In evidence. The
defendant sought to gain point in
his case by introducing a letter in the
handwriting Of one Of the parties in
volved. Judge Clayton ruled that the
writing was admissible.
Immediately the lawyer on the
other side rose and suggested to fhe
court that his long service In con-
gress had probably made him rusty
In the law; that handwriting could not
be proved by comparison with writing
