In the photograph may be seen detachment of French soldiers work ing hard to move one of the monster guns, mounted on railroad trucks, which destroy German trenches at distances of ten miles and more. These guns are moved by steam, but occa- sionally the motive power fails, and then man power is called upon.
 The map shows part of the power full defenses which confronted the British troops in their offensive on the Sonnme and makes clear why it took them nearly three months to cap- ture Thiepval. which at the outset was only d mile beyond their lines.
 The black lines are trenches, and the barbed wire entanglements show which are defensive and which com munication trenches. Besides the srarl of trenches marking Thiepval, the two knots of trenches north and mark the 4Schwaben'' and Stuff re- doubts, where the British have re- ported heavy fighting in the past few days.
 Complicated as is the tangle of trench lines on the surface, the map does not reveal the immense cata- combs underground, the result of two years labor, which formed an equally important part of the defensive works

Seek Work of ''Slasher" 4 In Horrible Death of Cripple in South End
(continued from page one)

, ls (COnt1uueQ IrOIu p4So OuoJ of going to his room. Norko took the path across the field between a small bill board and one family house which fronts on Railroad avenue. The probability is that he staggered across the field from the path beyond the dwelling house and lay down to sleep. Here the "slasher'' found his victim. Too drunk to resist, or struck a blow in the head with his peg leg, Yorko was stripped of his clothing, which was sfound in pile, with the 'eg thrown on top of the apparel. The theory that he might have undressed himself is contradicted, the police point out, by the fact that a drunken nan would naturally strew his clothe about.
 SThe murderer thinking to blind the authorities as to the motive of his crime took $4 and some change which Yorko had received after paying for his last drink with a $5 bill, and must have lifted his victim onto his shoul- ders, as Yorko minus his peg leg and nearly helpless from drink could not walk, carrying him l20O feet across the field, laying him behind a bill board r--'ich shuts off view of Railroad avenue. To get to this point, the pair had to pass across broad path, where they could be seen from the street, but no one has been found who noted their presence.
 The scene that followed beggars description. The police and medical examiner are of the opinion that the victims throat was first cut. The blood forming a pool about two feet in diamerter. flowing from the neck was quickly absorbed by the long grass and swamp-like earth during the in- terval which elapsed between the killing, and the finding of the remains at 6:3O o'clock yesterday morning.
 The unsuitable thirst for blood, seemingly unappeased, the fiend hack ed the tprso and plunged his knife in to the prostrate mans abdomen. The abdomen up as far as the breast bone was laid open. The fact that Yorko's throat had first been cut, in the opin- ion of the medical examiner account for the lack of blood on the body, al- though pr. Garlick is mystified by the lack of clots of blood always found, under these circumstances of death.
 A small jack knife found near the scene of the crime apparently has no connection with the tease as it could not have caused the mutilation, and so far as is known did not bear traces of blood.
 The dead man had r1o enemies His age and habits have eliminated jeal- ousy over some woman as motive. Every detail of the crime, points un- mistakably to the acr of disordered, degenerate mind.
 Yorko was a heavy drinker, and had lived on and off in this city for 30 years. He frequently went to Penn sylvania, working in the coal mines in that state While employed there he lost his leg in an accident and was ad- mitted to U. s. citizenship in that state in 1889. He was a Hungarian by birth and lived at the Garden street lodging house the last two months.

The Turk and the Crescent.

The crescent was not originally an emblem of the Turk. It was first used by the primitive Christians of Con- stantinople and the eastern provinces of the old Roman empire as an em- blem of the growing influence of Chris tianity. It was not until about the year 1453, after the Turks had over- run Asia Minor and parts of southern Europe and had captured Constanti- nople, that the Turks adopted the cres- cent as their national emblem. The Koran prohibits the use of images and symbols in the religious cere- monies of the strict Turk or the inter- nal decorations of their temples and mosques, the rule being so strict as not to allow the martial or civic deco ration of their greatest generals or pashas, successful commanders or oth- CT distinguished persons. The Nadop- ton of the crescent by the Turk as a national emble n is ah 'oddity which has so far remained unexplained Philadelphia Press.

Tha laroest Islands.

Australia has long been classed as the least of the continents and not as an island The largest islands are grad ed downward in the order of their size, as follows: Greenland, S5O,O00 square miles; New Guinea, 212,000; Berneo. 2S0,OC0; Madagascar, .S0,000. In the absence of exact surveys these areas are rough estimates and must be con sidered only as approximations, but it is not likely that careful measurements will introduce corrections so large as to change the order of the four. Australia is but slightly smaller than the conti- mental United States excluding Alaska. Exchange.

Easily Amused.

When Professor Chumpleigh's hat blew of, he made no effort to retrieve it. Instead he leaned against a lamp post and watched half dozen pedes- trians join in a mad chase.
 "I could nave picked it up myself" he murmured, "but knew from my studies of human nature that every body within sight would endeavor to get it for me-"
 So he remained, chuckling cynically. as the hat dashed this way and that, and the kind people grew hot and frantic in their efforts to capture it.
 At last a boy made fine long jump and held it with both feet. When he returned it to the professor it had eleven holes in it, eight ounces of dirt and was minus the Ibrim.. 5

Iauqh+er and cryinq.

Why do we laugh when a man slips on a banana peel?
 The latest answer to. this ancient question comes from Dr. George w. Grille in "The Origin and Nature of Emotions" It may be summed up briefly in the words of the Journal of Heredity, Laughter and crying are two forms of the same mechanism-a human safety valve to prevent the re- suits of emotion from injuring the body"
 According to Dr. Grille, "the muscu- lar action of laughter clears the sys- tenn of the energizing substances which have been mobilized in various parts of the body for other actions" Your first impulse is to rush'to the aid of the falling man. When he picks himself up unhurt there is no need to help him, so your system relic yes itself in laughter. If he breaks his skull You help him and thus consume the energy without laughter.

.a.sh, of pieeIeti.n.

It is said that when the baths of Diocletian were in operation they must have accommodated not fewer than 5000 bathers at a time. With some of the emperors bathing seems to have been a sort of fad, as they expended vast sums in the erection of bathhouses and bathing apparatus. Diocletian, however, does not depend entirely on the baths for his place in. history. He became emperor in 2s4 A. D. and ab- dicated in SO5. Two years before his abdication he became very active in prosecuting Christians, so much so that in the annals of martyrdom his reign is alluded to as "the Diocletian era" It is said that the Diocletian baths were built by Christians, 40,000 of them being compelled to do the work t f-l

A Ballet Averted . Revolution.

When Bonaparte put the Duke dEn- ghien to death all Paris felt so much horror at the event that the throne of the tyrant trembled under him, Sir John Sinclair wrote. A counter revolu- tion was expected and would most probably have taken place had not Bonaparte ordered a new ballet to be brought out with the utmost splendor at the opera.
 The subject he pitched upon was "Ossian, or the Bards." It is still recollected in Paris as perhaps the grandest spectacle that had ever been exhibited there.
 The consequence was that the mur- der of the Duke d'Enghien was totally forgotten and, nothing but the new ballet was talked of.

FIoaqed For Bathing.

Even in his day, Edward Conybcare tells us in Highways and Byways In Cam bridge" bathing was practice some what frov,ed on by the academic au- thorities. A century or so earlier any student found guilty of 1t was publicly logged in the hall of his college and was again logged on the morrow in the university schools by the proctors. A second offense meant expulsion from the university. Y3
