Never in our history have we been so severely taxed to supply the demands for equip ment in this section of the country. We cannot run all the specials ordered be- cause of lack of equipment.

VANISHING GOLD.

What becomes Of goldf It is one Of
the oldest metals In human use there
are gold beads dating back to the
stone age. It is an object of almost
universal desire. It is proof against
almost all the influences which destroy
other metals, and it has been mined
lin enormous quantities. Yet today
more than two-thirds of the gold In
use has been dug since 184S. What
becomes of the rest? Where is the
gold that set Jason wandering into
the Black sea, that filed the treasures
of Croesus, that paid the terrific trib.-
ute which Persian kings assessed
against the Punjab? What has hap.
pened to the yellow dust and "elec-
truman alloy of gold and silver
which negro traders brought down
the Nile to Egypt for four or five thou
sand years? Ancient gold, like that
of modern times, was used for money
and for ornaments, but both have dis.
appeared. Where? The most endur.
ing of metals, and yet the most
evanescent; perpetual1y sought and
yet constantly escaping the hands OF
even the successful seeker-that is
gold, What is the reason for its curl
Gus elusiveness?

| A great deal has been said of late'
regarding poison ivy, and the radical

the plant be wholly exterminated In

oily nature Of the poison, he says, ex,

when once it gets on the skin, and
why washes and salves have so little

thinks applications of this sort worse
than useless, for, he says, they merely
dissolve and dilute the poison and
make it spread further over the skin

The British war Office has probably
had its fill of warlike inventions sub
mitted to it since August last, but one
doubts If it has seen anything quite
so wonderful as the machine of a
Scotch shoemaker in 1854. Details of
the instrument are sadly lacking in
the newspapers of the period which
described it, but it was announced as
enabling six men to do as much as a
whole regiment. Forty-four thousand
shots in two minutes was its modest
rate Of fire, and by simply touching
a spring one could make it present a
harvest of bayonets" to the enemy.
Further, it could be driven to pieces
in a moment if likely to be captured,
and put together in minute and a
half when the danger was past.

0omitio & Ruppert
PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO SERVE

Weak hearts and stiff legs will no
longer be valid reasons for being ex-
cused from military work at The Ohio
oeaUe University, if the Guard Pom
creme bill for military education in
oolleges passes Congress. The bill
provides for a hospital corps, a bat
terry of artillery, signal corps and an
engineering corps, to be installed in
land-grant colleges and universities.
All men physically unable to take
part in the required drill will be as
signed to one of these departments.
Extensive changes will probably be
effected in this department next fall,
according to Captain George L. Con-
verse, commandant of cadets. Among
the proposed inovations is the estab-
nshment Of a course in Red Cross
training for girls.
''lt is amazing" said Captain Con-
verse, show few people, and women
especially. know how to take care of
the simplest wounds. l would suggest
that Red Cross training would be
compulsory, as it would not only be of
value in ease of war, but ought to, be
a part of woman's general knowl-
edge"

While everybody is familiar with the
damage done by lightning to trees,
little attention has heretofore been
paid to the effects of lightning stroke
on herbaceous plants. A recent paper
by L. R. Jones and w. w. Gilbert re-
veals the fact that lightning injury
is rather common in certain crops, es-
pecially cotton and potatoes. Grass,
small grains and maize seem less IL
able to such damage. The lightning
damage to cotton and potatoes fire.
quently extends over roundish spots,
one to three rods in diameter, or
groups of small spots. Although
there may be no disturbance of the
sou or visible rupture of the plant
tissues, the plants near the center OF
the spot wilt, blacken and die prompt
ly, while those near the margin may
live days or weeks.

spent in the musical talent and as en-
tertainers they are in class by them
selves. Several choruses, solos and
duets. but the hit of the evening was
the singing of two picked male quar-
tets.
The first to respond was composed
of Messrs. Gray, Scott, Dalrymple
and Karschner, the second of Messrs.
Furney, Guilford, Funkhouser and
Sullinger. The married ladies chorus
was certainly fine and much enjoyed
by all. The entertainment lasted un-
til about nine-thirty when the entire
party sang "God Be With Us Till We
