Method of Locating Guns.

Science has discovered that gun
fire affects the earth's surface much
as an earthquake. so it is not surpris-
ing to learn that guns are G2tng To-
Gated by the seiSmograph-the deli
cate little instrument which records
terrestrial tremors. An Austrian au.
thority on the subject of earthquake
disturbances announces that the seis-
mograph can record the position of
hostile artillery as we'll as the calibeG
Of the guns.
In a fairly recent engagement be-
tween Italian and Austrian troops on
the Isonzo, the tremors induced by the
heavy cannonade were only registered
by the apparatus, and the operator
was able 70 detect, by means of dia-
grams Of artificial movements Of the
ground, the difference between the
shocks produced by the fall of projec'
tiles and those caused by the recoil OF

NINE SOLDIERS CAPTURE 113
Frenchmen Trick the Defenders of {
German Field Fort on
the Somme.

One of the most striking episodes
Of the great Somme offensive was the
recent taking of the field fort at BIZ
nnches and its garrison of 113 men
by nine French soldiers.
All attempts to storm the position
mad been checked by murderous ma
%chine-gun fire until n French officer
discovered a vulnerable point. Select
ing a second lieutenant, two ~serseants.
a corporal and four men, he led them
on hands and knees through the long
grass to the spot where he knew there
was a breach in the defenSes. Then
three of the French officers abruptly
leaped into the work. shouting in
s%tentorian tones: "Forward With the
bayonet," and throwing bombs which
exploded in the dugout.
The Germans, believing 4 large force
was with the Frcnchmen. had no time
to get their weapons and surrendered
But now the three French captors be

The acquisition of the Danish West In

lie on the route from Europe to the
Panama canal, which this country may
have to defend, and they might also prove
valuable in the defense of Porto Rico,
from which they are distant about so
miles to the eastward.
otherwise they will be Of little value.
Taken together, they ave a smaller area
than is found in an ordinary county, and
the density Of population is almost exactly
equal to that of the state OF New York,
which is about 100 to the square mile. II
is not likely, therefore, that there will be
any influx Of Americans to the islands il
the present negotiations for their pur-
chase should terminate in a bargain.
The prosperity which the islands once

American Gold Holdinos.

From Wagner's Letter to Grain Dealers
We are getting so much the better of the
bargain with Europe in the exchange of
foodstuffs, war supplies, etc, for our very
best securities that we should not take
any other than the most optimistic view Of
the situation. Remember, we are selling
our commodities at high prices, securing
unusual profits and taking our own stocks
and bonds back at comparatively low
prices. We are certainly not losing in these
transactions now and in the long run We
shall unquestionably be very materially
the gamer. The interest and dividend dis
bursements to European investors alone Is
a very considerable item.

swept into the United States in the last
