lNVENTS ANTl-WIRE GLOVES
Engishman Devises Method of Han
ding EntangIements Without
Danger.

London.-Among the inventions now
being tested by the war Office officials
is one credited to George Lynch, a
well-known traveller. of a method of
destroying wire entanglements.
The Westminster Gazette, describ-
ing the invention says the method
consists of the use of pair of gaunt-
lets made of ordinary khaki cloth
lightly padded with cotton wool treat
ed with peculiar powder. rendering
the material practically impervious to
the sharpest metal points. Thus, a
soldier is enabled to grasp or pull the
most formidable type of German
barbed wire without the slightest fear
of the spikes pentrating the material
and scratching his hands.
The fabric is waterproof, and the
gloves can be insulated for the pur-
pose Of gripping electrically-char
wires The claim is even made that
when made into vests or eggings the
material is strong enough to turn
shrapnel splinters.
A company has been formed to de-
velop the invention. The war Office al
ready has ordered some supplies and
the substance has been successfully
tested in the Russian army.

DlAz TO START REVOLUTION.
Hopes to Organize and Lead the
Troops of His Native State.

Washington.-Felix Diaz who has
been watched for several months by
department of justice agents because
of suspected activities in violation of
American neutrality, apparently has
left the United Sta es for Mexico with
the intention of launching a new rev.
olution against the CarranZa de facto
government. Information reaching
officials here indicates that he hopes
to organize and lead the troops of his
native state, OaXaca, and such other
forces in southern Mexico as he can
gather about him.
General Diaz a nephew of the for
mer Mexican president of that name,
has been absent from Mexico since
Huerta, whom he helped establish in
power, sent him abroad on a diplo-
matte mission. Most of this time he
has spent in the United States, and
although he was suspected of being
connected with the revolutionary plot
for which Huerta and several 0 hers
were ind cted no direct evidence
against him ever developed.

currants through their apple orchards.
This is an ideal plan.
In the average orchard two rows
can be planted between each two rows
OF apple trees. Keep the rows about
five feet apart and the plants about
four feet apart in the rows, and keep
the surface soil well cultivated, using
well rotted stable manure or other fer
tilizer.
Currants always bring good prices
on the markets and there are never
half enough to supply the demand
People have overlooked planting
them. Here are the best varieties:
London Market and Red Cross for red
sorts; Lees Black is the best black,
while White Imperial is the best of
all the white kinds.
During this entire season black cur
rants have been in strong demand on
the big markets. They have brought
much higher prices than either the
red or white kinds We urge the
planting of more black currants; good
prices for them are sure.

HEAD STOPS SHELL
Private in Yorkshire Regiment
Keeps on Smiling.
Recovery Amaxes Surgeons Who Re-
move Large Piece of Metal From
Forehead and Another From
Behind Left Cheek.

London.-During the present wal
medical men have reported many re
markable cases OF the recovery Of
wounded men-cases where a fatal ter
mination seemed inevitable-but it Ia
doubtful if there has been any az
astonishing as the case of Private G.
A. Dawson OF the Tenth Yorkshire
regiment, who is now in the King
George Military hospital, Stamford
street, s. r.
Private Dawson has caused SO much
interest among members of the medi-
cal profession that he has been seen
by scores of leading surgeons.
Enough shell has been removed
from Private Dawson's head to Kill
many men. AS Kipling said OF the
late Lord Roberts:
If you stood i'm on is cad
You could spill quart o. lead"
But with it all this Tommy" is able
to sit up in his bed, and he is one
OF the brightest and cheeriest souls in
the ward
Private Dawson, who is the son OF
q news agent of Bishop Auckland, Dur
ham, went to France with his regi.
ment last year, and after serving five
months in the trenches he was wound
ed ON December IL.
He was in village behind the lines
which was being shelled, and before
he could get to his dug out" a shell
knocked him out.
Unconscious. he was taken to the
base hospital and there, from a great
hole in the center of his forehead di-
rectly above his nose, there were re-
moved large piece of shell, a piece
OF wood and part of his cap. For 20
days Dawson lowered between life and
death. His face became swollen and
black and nothing the surgeons could
do seemed to reduce the swelling.
On December 81 Dawson was re-
moved to a hospital at Boulogne, and
there he was put under the X-rays i'm
mediately on his arrival In the pri-
Yates left cheek was found large
piece Of shell, which must have en-
tered through the hole In the forehead
and passed down the side of the nose.
On New Years day Private Dawson
was operated upon again, and this
piece of shell, which weighed two and
three-quarters ounces, was removed
by the way 1t had entered, so that
there should not be scar of any sort
en- the private's cheek.
The piece Of shell-about a quarter
OF an inch thick, with torn and Jagged
edges-is a relic priced greatly by Pri-
vate Dawson. Another remarkable
feature about the case Is that by
further operation recently at the King
George hospital the sight of his left
eye was saved.
To use his own expression, the piece
OF SHE'LL when passing into his cheek,
turned the lens of my left eye over
A celebrated ophthalmic surgeon has
righted the lens of the eye, and in a
few days Private Dawson will be able
to see again with his left eye.

Movement to Raise Fund for
Battleship.

New York.-Marjorie Sterrett. a

started a movement among school

PROPER SOIL FOR CURRANTS
Fruit Needs Rich Land and One That
10 Good Retainer Of Moisture
Keep Well Cultivated.

Currants require rich soil and one
that is a good retainer of moisture.
The plants should be set three to four
feet apart in the row and rows from
five to six feet
The patch should be we'll cultivated
and hoed, all weeds being kept down,
as they are very injurious to currants.
Keep we'll trimmed after they have
come into full bearing, as too much OF
the young and old wood will hinder
the growth.
1t is not we'll to allow any Of the
wood to get very old, as the finest
fruit is usually grown on the two and
three year old growths.
