IN BLUE AND ORANGE COLOR
Scientist Remarks on Strangeness Of
Aura of Human Beings Placed
in Darkened Room.

so far as we know" says the
Medical Record, "the great scientists
who have investigated the phenomena
Of spiritualism and have in some
cases become converts to the latter
belief, have not expressed themselves
ex cathedra on the validity of the
finds in question. Recently PROBES.
sor Benedict of Vienna has made stud
les along these lines.
AT a meeting of the Royal and I'M
perial Society of Physicians of Vienna
he stated without comment that when
a normal human being is placed in a
dark room the face appears blue, the
left half of the body blue, and the
right half red or orange. A woman
who claimed to be able to locate OBJ
jects with divining rod seemed
broader in the chamber than was actu-
ally the case. In particular the
thumbs seemed much larger. AN
other Of these women gave off an en-
anation for part of the time only.
Both the women were said to be able
to locate water, COAL oil, and metals,
the second one only when these were
below the ground, while the first was
able to find them when concealed in
a ROOM"
Professor Benedict offered no ex-
plantations and advanced no theories.

THE GERMAN GROWN PRINCE.

THE GERMAN CROWN PRINCE.
little details have all been buried by
the continual rain of millions of shells
and bullets. But some idea Of the in
tensity of the struggle may be had
from the stories told by those who took
part and who have returned to Ger
many and France from the battle front
One Shell Wrecks Fort.
The Berlin >Tageblatt correspondent
gave the following account of the re-
duction of Fort Douaumont:
1.-The giant block of cement and steel
armor plate that was Douaumont lies
in ruins A second fort not far off
blew up. Just as did Fort Loncin at
Liege. as the result of a single large
calibered shell crashing through to the
ammunition magazine
1.-THE organization OF the attack on
the north front of Verdun was a mas
terpiece in itself. Preparations of vast
extent had first to be carried out in
complete cOncealment from the enemy
If the fight against the invincible for
tress was to succeed.
ITO the great distances over which
heavy artillery had to be taken with
out using railways were superadded
the great difficulties resulting from con-
tlnuously bad weather and the conse.
quent condition of roads. Hundreds
OF men had first to build good roads,
"Another of the difficulties was the
proper laying Of the beds on which the
great guns rest and on whose firmness
depends in the first line the accuracy
of our heavy gunfre. How unbeliev-
ably accurate was their fire is now
known
"Prisoners said that the effect Of our
artillery was indescribably frightful
Nobody could hold out long against it."
Battle In the Lake.
Another correspondent at the Ger.
man headquarters says:
1.-THE Meuse valley in many places
had been transformed into a lake by
floods. The woods on the rolling
Meuse heights, everywhere sown with
barbed wire entanglements, are mown
down by artillery. The battle-ground
is distorted by explosions. The cap
tured French trenches, which had I'M
dergone severe bombardment, had
been very extensively developed, but
showed signs of less secure construc-
ton than ours.
Contrary to assertions which have
been made, the heavy snowstorm did
not stop the progress of the battle in
the slightest degree. Our artillery con-
tinued to fire uninterruptedly through
the veil Of SNOW. Toward midday the

To Manufacture Optical Glass.

The manufacture of American op-
tical glass is about to be begun on a
commercial basis, a large factory hav-
ing been erected by an optical firm Of
Rochester, N. Y, which, it is said, will
be equipped to make all kinds Of
lenses, from the tiny glass used in the
microscope to that of the searchlight
measuring several feet in diameter.
The first effort in this direction was
made about twenty-five years ago, and
it was a failure. The latest effort in
the manufacture Of this glass was be-
gun experimentally by the Rochester
firm few years ago, and when the
war broke out they had just demon
stated it's success, so that it's expen-
sion would have come along in the
regular order of things. The neces-
sity for plant of this kind in this
country has been forcibly demonstrate
ed by the war, which has completely
cut off the supply Of optical glass,
which came heretofore from one or
the other of the belligerent countries.

SHOWING HOW LIFE is SAVED
Arrangements for Exhibit to Be Sent
Through the Country on Spe-
cial Train.

What the federal government is do
ing in the saving of life and property
recently was shown in Washington
and is now to be demonstrated to
the country at large.
Secretary of the Interior Lane con-
ceived the idea that the exposition
recently held in Washington should be
shown to the rest of the country, the
Post Of that city states. A special
train is to be equipped as quickly as
possible and sent throughout the coun-
try so that the people may have a
more intimate idea of what their gov
eminent is doing.
Here in Washington the exposition
attracted more than $4,000 persons
during one week. The work of the
public health service in guarding the
| gateways of the republic against cpl
| denies of diseases sent from foreign
shores and the stamping out of these
| diseases on the threshold of the coun-
try was demonstrated at the exposi-
ton. Through this travelling exposi-
| ton the people will get some idea Of
| the work Of the coast guard service
| in saving life at sea, the forest serv-

preserving millions of dollars Of nat

| sion, which have signally reduced the
deaths among trainmen.
The exposition also demonstrates
| the safety work of the army and navy
departments in sanitation and the
stamping out Of typhoid fever and 9TH
er diseases in the army and navy. A
rare opportunity is being presented
for the people who know more about
the humane activities of their own
government. The trip should stimu-
late patriotism and national pride.

BATTLE Of Y[RDUN
As B|OOD|ES|
Great German Offensive Re-
suited In Loss of Thousands
of Lives on Both Sides.

THE German offensive, resulting
in the battle of Verdun, has
been called by competent mill
tary critics the bloodiest battle
in the history of all the world. Wheth-
er this be an exaggeration or not, GER
tainly as many men were employed as
in any other struggle. The methods
of slaughter We're more highly devel-
oped, and the issue at stake was all i'm
portant.
The Germans, after having leveled
the French trenches by hours Of ar
tillery fire in which the great ~ cent?
meter siege guns played an important
part, sent regimenteafter regiment Of
their best troops into the mouths Of
the French seventy-fves. The French,
unable to withstand the force Of the
great Teuton drive, executed under the
supervision Of the German crown
prince. cautiously withdrew several
miles and established new positions
nearer the city of Verdun. which ap-
parently was the objective of this Of
fensive movement.
For days the fighting continued with
unabated fury. The kaiser himself
went to the front for several days. The
full story of this battle will never be
told. After the war perhaps We shall
know the total number Of men lost.
but how they died, what their suffer
ings were, the fate Of their bodies, will
never be known. Those heart touching

Princeton's New Dining Halls.

Princeton's New Dining Halls.
The new dining halls which are be-
ing constructed at Princeton will have
grill and clubrooms along the lines
of a university club. Large smoking
rooms equipped with billiard tables
will be provided for the freshman and
sophomore classes, while there will be
g. reading room for all classes.
Plans for the use of the grillroom
are not completed, but it is likely that
it's main use will be for the entertain
ment of visitors. It is thought that
unionized dining hall, where the
great majority Of the student body,
especially the lower classes, gravitate
three times day, may prove an excel
lent substitute for a common club
house where students social in
stinct may call him only at odd inter-
vals.
