Euniid,s Lost Books.

'EI was very much amused at the comment of young friend who recent ly went up against the board of exam iners for the naval service,'' said a Philadelphia man. Speaking of the questions in geometry which were pro- pounded to the boys, this youngster said in dry way:
 History tells us that the old dis coverer of the science of geometry, Euclid, who lived 300 years before Christ, wrote something like twenty books, which he called "Elennents,'' and that of this number seven were lost. The examining board. of the marine corps has found those books, for the questions it put to us two weeks ago clearly demonstrated that it dug up some theorems- which had not been seen in the last 2,O0o years Pitts burgh Dispatch.

RepeiIinq Fire With a Drum.

A fire of strange nature appeared in Wales in 1893. According to the most ineligible account concerning it now in existence, it came up from the sea near Harlech. At several places near that place and all over Merioneth- shire it did much damage, burning hay, houses, barns, etc. A person writing of it said: ''The grass over which it moves kills all manner of cattle that feed upon it. But what is most remarkable is that any great noise, such as the beating of a drum or sounding a horn, effectually repels it from any house."

DYNAMITE PLANT FOUND IN BARREL
 AT SCOvILLE co.

Waterbury, Conn.,, March 8.-In the criminal branch of the district court today, Attorney Beardsley of this city, as counsel for Morris Bell, an alleged labor agitator, objected to the appear ance in the case of William E. Tho1ns, as special counsel for the Scoville Manufacturing company, the concern whose employees Bell is charged with having advised to smash machinery and goods. Bell denies that he ad- vised any such thing, but was con victed in the city court.
 MT. Thoms asked for an adjourn ment and in the heat of the argument stated that the practices Bell is a1- legged to have advised have since been carried out by certain of the employees and that in addition to that "a plant of dynamite was discovered in the factory yesterday. It has since devel- oped that the dynamite found con- sisted of one stick and was located in one of the casting shops in a barrel of salt used as hux.
 Judge Reeves, against the objection of the opposing attorney, adjourned the trial to Saturday. MT Thoms claimed he was too busy with other matters to go on with the trial, and that time should be given the state to secure more information concerning the accused young man. Bell is being prosecuted under the breach of peace statute.

FRENCH SOLDIERS, THEIR NERVES
 SHATTERED BY CONSTANT ATTACK,
 BRAVE SLAUGHTER IN WILD CHARGE

Mysterious life filled the night-life which none of us understood, full of strange lights and sounds. My men began to grit their teeth. This enveI- oping mystery tortured their nerves. Some closed their eyes, others gnawed their fists Before us we saw crawl ing forms; They were certainly Ger mans. We waited for them with ma chine guns loaded and pointed but our orders were to let the assailants ap- proach and to shoot them down safely from our shelter. But the men could hold themselves in no longer Those groping shadows, in the darkness, pierced by mysterious flashes, set them mad and they ragged at not being able to understand why they were kept tied down in a, hole
 Suddenly before I could stop them, they leaped from the hole and fell upon the Germans in the dark, yelling like madmen. They should have per ished to a man under the fire of the German machine guns but luck was on the other side and in a minute they were all back in the trench quite caIrned. They had at length pierced, at the peril of their lives the mystery of the lights, that mystery peopIed with pTantOn1s and wi11-o'-the-wisps which causes the bravest to shrink ''

Paris, March 8.-'You are not cool enough to feel fear during a battle,' 2 said a captain of light infontry who in civil life is a professor of philosophy and who fought in the battle of Yer dun, tfbut when the uproar ceases, when the cannon are silent, you have a sensation that something is going to happen, but what you do not know. You expect something. Those are the horrible moments and following is an instance:
 f'The German attack was beginning In a little wood near Vaux we had made for ourselves a hiding place, taking advantage of a hollow in the ground where the search1ights passed over us. All day and evening the Ger man artillery searched out our lines all around our shelter. Great shells tore craters, but our improvised trench remained untouched. Toward 2 o'clock in the morning the guns stopped. For nine hours my men had not moved nor spoken, for fear of re- vea1ing their presence. TheiE nerves were worn to rags. I could feel their powers of resistance failing and I was afraid every instant that someone would bring down a shower of heavy shells upon us.

I. c. c. Struggles With
 Freight Congestion

Washington, March s.-The inter state commerce commission had before it for consideration today a wealth of suggestions designed to solve the problems of freight congestion at the eastern terminals of trunk line rail- roads and of car shortage in the West The proposals were made during a, two days conference of the commis- sion by the carriers, the shippers and others.
 The conference adjourned last night after numerous speakers had discussed the questions of freight congestion and car shortage from every angle, but no decision was reached as to what steps should be taken to meet the situation. It is likely that one result will be the submission by the carriers of definite proposals to the commission for i'm creasing the demurrage and storage at terminals and reducing the time all lowed receivers of freight to unload cars without extra charge. The pro posed changes, it is expected, will be vigorously opposed by the shippers and carriers.

 Slasher To Long Term

Attorney Israel J. Cohn defending George Mallia, 91 Steuben street, when he was arraigned before Judge Wilder in city court today for assault with intent to kill on Rafael Napo- litano, 39 Goodwin street, asked the court to, fix bail at $500, when it was intimated that his client was to be bound over to the Superior court

Atlantic Hotels
 License Restored

With the assurance that the cabaret and its flock of feminine song birds have been eliminated, the liquor H- cense of the Atlantic hotel was order ed restored this morning by the county commissioners. This action was taken after the police board had notified the commissioners that the remonstrance against the hotel had been withdrawn. Thereupon the com missioners allowed a transfer of the license from the present holder, Kop- pei Berger, to the Bridgeport Hotel Go.
 This action gives the hotel manage ment liberty to sell liquor in any part of the hostelry but Manager Gardner told the commissioners that in the fu- ture only a regulation hotel dining room would be operated. The Ioafers who infested the lobby have been elected.
