GERMANS SATISFIED
 OVER NAVAL FIGHT
Continued from Page one)

day fight have not been ascertained. It is assumed the ranges of the day engage ment were not extreme, possibly about eight miles, as the weather was hazy.
 The German torpedo boats and de- stroyers were more effective than the British, accounting to a considerable extent for the successes of the Ger mans against an overwhelmingly su- perior force. It Is understood the Queen Mary and the Indefatigable were both sunk in the day battle. It has not been learned when the Warspite and the other British warships went down.
 (The loss of the Warspite is denied officially by the British.)
 All the German warships except those mentioned in the official report reached Wilhelmshafen safely. Thus far nothing has been reported as to the extent to which any of these ves- sels were damaged. A fuller report from Admiral Scheer is expected soon.
 It is stated at the admiralty that at
 least 34 British capital ships were en-
 gagged and that the British torpedo flotillas were severely handled. The
 battleship Westphalen alone sank. Six torpedo boats during the night at tackled the vessel.
 Both sides of the naval engagement
 stood the test but the German fleet is especially small in comparison with that of the British. the losses being less. The Pommern, which was sunk, was commanded by Captain Boelken. BERLIN IS DECORATED Berlin is bedecked with flags and the achievement of the German fleet has aroused the greatest enthusiasm There was a remarkable demonstration in the Reichstag when Rear Admiral Hebbinghaus. former naval attache to the German embassy at Washington annnounced the result of the battle. "Supplementing the official report of the admiralty" says the Overseas News agency, it is stated by a competent au- I thority that in the North sea battle the
 British had in action the high sea fleet ! with dreadnaughts and older battleships battle cruisers and also light sea forces including torpedo boat and submarine | flotillas. The Germans faced the greater part of the modern British navy.

One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. ]. w. LentZ, OF Orders, Breth-

his family got instruction from a distant

and his life was saved.
William Mionicf, in Pendleton county
tried to cut a bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
of bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, at
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-
tions over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 76 years old.

THE MONTH OF METEORS

November is the month of meteorS
1t is estimated by astronomers that
every cubic million miles Of space
contains body, that the earth in its
swing around the sun constantly
meets these smaller bodies and they
are drawn into the earth's atmos-
phere. AS soon as the air is reached
great heat is generated and there is
a. shooting star in the sky. Some Of
them travelling in the opposite direc-
ton to the earth meet our atmosphere
with velocity of Al miles per second
and are raised to temperature OF
three or four million degrees, accord
ing to Newcomb Meteors burn be-
cause friction results as soon as they
strike the air; and friction means
heat-the same as when two objects
are rubbed together. They constant
" add material to the earth in the
form of dust or unburned portions,
this amounting to 10000 tons a year.
Arrhenus believes. So many fall into
the sun that much heat and light are
produced on that body, and thousands
are constantly burning in the higher
regions of the earth's air. It is now
believed they are constantly being
made and then become part Of other
bodies. November is the time when
the earth passes through fiocks OF
these dark objects wandering through
| infinite space, and the month of shoot
/ ing stars results.
