PLAIN AT VERDUN
 A FIELD OF DEATH
Germans Attack Like Ants, Wither
 Before Defenders Guns

Middletown, May 19.-A vivid de-
 scription of an attack by the Ger
 mans at Verdun is contained in a letter received by Dr. E. F<ilbourne Tullidge of the state hospital here from Captain V. s. Morley of a Dor
 chester regiment, one of those de- lending the gateway to Paris" pr. Tullidge came to Middletown a few
 months ago from France, where he
 served as a surgeon in the army. The letter follows:
 "The thing opened with a bonn bardment, a flaming inferno in which nothing human could hope to live. Explosion followed explosion with awful regularity. Hills were plotted out as though shipped off with great shears; valleys sprang into being where, before there was level ground; the bruised and torn earth shook With cataleptic spasms. When the tumult was at it's height and the orgy of destruction had attained it's utmost violence, those damned saul sage eaters, thousands and thousands of them sprang from their trenches cheering hoarsely that king murderer of theirs, and covered that field al- ready swept by the terrible hurricane Of our fire, swarming like so many ants towards us. We were fighting then as no man ever knew how to fight, hanging on to what we knew was the beginning or the end Of the scrap.
 Give the Frenchies credit; they certainly have got the stuff in them when it comes to a show down. They stuck, and stuck like men; no not like men, but demons, beasts with their back to the wall. The shells hurled on the landscape while those monetonous grey devils ever swarmed forward as though impelled onward by some mysterious hypnotic inf1u- ence. But they didn't get far before they knew just what we had in store for them. Dead? They fell like f1eas. Hundreds, thousands of them, alone and in pairs. Torn to atoms by the shells, thanks to your Ameri- can factories. They sure put the powder in the right place. This lasted all day and far into the night.
 '"The moon rose on a scene that the human mind in all it's imagina- tive transports could not have con- ceived. Snow lay thick over the landscape which was constantly as- suming new shapes under the blows Of those enormous projectiles Gun gun, shell for shell was the motto. Where the ground showed no v2 hite there they struck, splitting the earth asunder and moving down those dark masses like SO many wheat stalks in a hail storm. Lead was poured like water as fast as the 1 guns could work.
 'Good-by, old man. Best luck and | hope that your United States will not get a taste of the same bottle that has poisoned Europe. Y You know how letters are appreciated out here, so I will not urge you to write. Perhaps it will be unnecessary, for every m oment may bring a shell or bullet that will send your letter back un- opened"

USE UP MUCH BRASS LEAF
Natives Of Southern India Employ II
for Peculiar Form Of
DecorstIcn.

One Of the most interesting uses
to which brass leaf is applied in
southern India is for gliding LINES,
the decorated fruit, according to a
local custom, being exchanged by ma
tives on festival occasions in token of
esteem. The origin of this practice
Is apparently unknown, but it dates
from a distant period and is a recog-
nized feature of Indian life. The ex-
change of lines takes place on New
Years days, of which there are sew
eral in this country. Besides the
English anniversary observed by the
natives, the Mohammedans and the
Tamil and Telugu branches of the
Hlndus have special New Years
days. A native calling on New
Years day on a person to whom he
or she desires to show esteem pre-
sents the host with a lime. In the
case of the well-to-do the lime is al
ways ornamented with brass leaf or,
in few cases, with gold leaf. The
poorer classes, as rule, give undec-
GRATED lines. The custom sometimes
extends also to the ordinary 'tam-
ash" or social reunion. Thus a good
deal of brass leaf is used for gilded
lines and the bazaar trade in this
line throughout southern India is
really considerable. The leaf is also
used to some extent in the manufac-
ture Of gilded caps or "topi," worn
generally by Mohammedans in south
ern India on their holidays and for
decorations on the dresses of Mo-
hammedan women.

WHEEL MAKES LITTLE NOISE
Recent Invention Practically EIImI-
mates Racket That Has Long
Been Complained OF.

A silent car wheel has been de
signed by Edwin c. Madden, former
ly assistant postmaster general,
which is asserted to have a number
of important advantages over the
old-fashioned wheel. IL is said to
consist of two wheels, one within the
other, and separated from each other
by means of a rubber filling, and the
combination is said to take up all
vibration and shock, so that the noise
is reduced to almost nothing. Some
of these wheels have been in use on a
trolley line at Portland, Me-, for
nearly year, and the degree of sue
cess which has attended their use
has resulted in declaring the inyen-
ton a success, and a factory is now
being reared where their manufac-
ture on a large scale will be engaged
in. Not only is the noise eliminated,
but the riding qualities of the car are
greatly improved and the life of the
rolling stock prolonged. The tires
and cushions are renewed easily and
economically, and the life of the
wheel itself is far longer than that of
the ordinary cast wheel.
