The economic Importance Of paleon.

no coal. The fossils in the New York

The term "pure water" is not a
satisfactory one because pure water
does not exist in nature.
Because Of It's great dissolving pow.
or foreign substances are always pres.

Because Of these various substances
a good drinking water may be bad for
the laundry or 1t may corrode pipes.
On the other hand a good water for

The first characteristic OF q water

dom from germs of disease
Bitter experience has shown that
water may cause typhoid fever by
transporting the living typhoid fever
from some person sick with the dis.
ease to some well person.
In this case the water plays no 9th.
er part than that Of floating the germs
along, unless II be that It keeps them
from drying UP. The typhoid germs
do not multiply in water, but, on the
contrary, die out little by little and
SO gradually lose their power to do
harm.

Amsterdam, Feb. 17.-Germany is in
creasing her air fleet at the rate of

high-powered Fokker machines are
now being used almost exclusively on

other type aircraft being sent to the
eastern front. to Turkey, to the Bal

Upon the occasion of his recent visit
to Nish, the German Emperor made a

manned by Germans, but training
school has been established at Sofia to
teach Bulgarian aviators the workings
of the German machines.
Aeroplanes are now being turned
out by the Krupp factory at Essen. as

great manufacturing plant, which built
Pullman cars for the state railways be-
fore the war, is now specializing on
aircraft and is turning out nothing but

Paris, Feb. IA cold light for locat-
ing Zeppelins at any height or behind
thick banks of cloud is expected to be
utilized shortly by France.
French war office experts are now ex-
perimenting with a new type of search
light proposed by the French professor,
Dussaud, inventor OF the cold light,
which will throw a binding beam to un-
heard of attitudes and betray the Zeppe-
lins to the French batteries and aero
planes.
Prof Dussaud's cold light is generated
by utilizing nearly one hundred per cent
of the electric current for Illuminating
instead of losing nearly 50 or 90 per cent
of the power in generating useless heat,
as in the ordinary electric lighting sys-
tenn.
The war office hopes the system will
produce a searchlight five times stronger
than the old types. with over 10000 can
die power.
The new lights will absolutely blind
everything in their path and bore a lumin-

Hinted That Wilson Is Assum-
ing Bold Front Against Teu-
tons to Aid Candidacy.
SEEKS GREAT VICTORY
Granting of Requested Assur-
ances Would Mean Diplo-
matte Laurels.

The suggestion was made last night
in diplomatic circles that the present
attitude OF the United States on the
Lusitania controversy and the whole
question OF submarine warfare is based
on political expediency. There are three
reasons influencing the administration
in its changed course, according 20 this
diplomatic opinion. These are:
l. II Germany can be Induced to
consent to embody in her reply to the
Lusitania note the assurances for the
future conduct of submarine warfare
he demands, President Wilson may
claim a diplomatic victory.
2. II Germany insists on confining
the Lusitania controversy strictly to
the facts of that issue alone. negotia-
tions can be drawn out until after the
election next November
3. The speech by Elihu Root at the
Republican State convention in New
Influenced the President to put on a
bold front against the central empires.
Meantime negotiations looking to a
settlement of the case have come TO an
abrupt halt. For the first time in the
nine months that have elapsed since
the dispatch. May 1S. 1915, of the first
Lusitanis note officials of the German
Embassy have felt justified in assum-
ing a frankly dilatory attitude One
OF these officials expressed the en-
bassy's point of view as follows:
Until today Germany has supposed
that the United States was sincerely
anxious to settle the Lusitania case
with the least possible delay. Now.
however. it is apparent that this is not
the situation. The United States has
taken the view that an immediate set
tlement would be a favor to Germany.
Quite Reverse Is True.
Quite the reverse is true. Indefinite
postponement would put Germany in
the tenth heaven of delight The United
States, now that it has made its posi-
tion clear, can count on all the delay
ina ginable. so far as Germany is con-
cerned."
Confirming this sentiment came the
announcement last night by Count Won
Bernstorf that he had not only not
transmitted to his government the
new demands of the United States, but
that he could not say definitely when
he would do so. 1t is probable the
German ambassador will delay cabling
Berlin the new revisions demanded by
the State Department until tomorrow,
and perhaps until Monday.
