LOCATING BULLETS.

One of the most notable develop
ments in surgery in the war hospi-
tails has been the improvement of
means for locating the bullet in
wound. Three electrical methods
have been developed, each Of them
far superior to anything previously
in use. One of these devices is mag
netic in character; a second, prob
ably the. best known, is telephone
device. The last to be perfected,
said to be the best of all, makes use
of the galvanometer principle,
wherein the bullet makes its pres
ence known by its effect on an cleo
tric current. This device is said to
indicate not only the location of the
lall, but also the depth to which It
has penetrated.

FIRST PATROL CRUISER.

In the list of naval vessels, OF YES
sells of every description in the naval
service, there are hundreds Of motor
boats of all sorts and descriptions.
The first government-built patrol
craft to go into the service was origi-
,nally ordered for the coast guard
service. She is 50 feet long, with
beam Of IA feet, and draws 3 feet
z inches. She was designed by A.
Loring Swasey, but is quite unlike
most vessels from his board. She
was built by Robert Jacobs Of City
Island, and is equipped with an
eight-cylinder motor, which gave her
a speed Of 1887 miles per hour on
her trial trip. She is quite heavily
built and has ample accommodations
for officers and men. A powerful
wireless outfit and searchhght were
installed on her.

VALUE OF CHEESE AS A FOOD
Experts Seek to Overcome Prejudice
Caused by Comic Paper Jokes
About Welsh Rarehit.

Some long-cherished notions about
food, food values and food effects
have been upset within the last few
months, and the American house
wife, in recent weeks. has learned
more about food than she ever knew
before, says an exchange.
Not long ago most of us were con-
WINGED that cornmeal dishes were ont
of place in summer. We believed
they were "heating.' The experts
have declared to the contrary. Now
they want US to eat more cheese, and
they assure us that we can partake
of this nourishing food in generous
quantities without any disarrange-
ment of the digestive tract.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a
pound of fowl or Of round steak, and
almost twice as much protein as the
same amount of fowl or ham. 1t if
accordingly cheaper food than
meats, and it is palatable and whole
some. We shall be the gamers if we
forget some Of the comic paper jokes
about Welsh rarebit and begin to par
take Of the cheese as a real food and
not merely as an appetizer.

GENERAL KNOWN AS DANCER
Man Who Is Leading italian Drive
upstairs to Vienna" FaVorite
Member Of Royal Circle.

When the world on this side of the
water reads of General Cadorna's
thrilling onward smashing drive
toward upstairs to Vienna" as the
Italians express it, no one thinks OF
this foremost Italian diplomatist
and soldier as Queen Elena's favO-
rite member Of the royal dancing
circle-the man to whom her maj
esty most frequently accords her in
frequent honor of extending her
hand for his kiss. General Cadorna
is accounted the best sixty-seven-
year-old dancer in his country, and
it is whispered that he not infre-
quently even at this time, with all
of his martial cares heavy upon him,
INDUCES in waltz or a polka as a
half hours recreation from his
steady strides toward that upstairs
to Vienna" upon which he is bent.
The Countess Cadorna, still love-
ly, was known until far past her fif-
tieth year as famous beauty, and
to this adds the rare gift of tactful-
ness, a fine attribute in its way for
the wife of any man, even though,
as in the present case, he is the idol
of his men for what they account
his greatest charm, 'pOliteness of the
heart"

FINDS WAY TO KILL WEEDS
Hawaiian Sugar Grower Has Reduced
Labor Of Maturing Cane by More
Than One Half.

The new weed-destroying method
developed by Charles F. Eckert in
the sugar-cane fields Of the island
of Hawaii is stated in a commerce
report to have reduced the labor of
maturing the cane more than one
half, while the crop has been in
creased by an average of ten tons
per acre.
Shortly after the harvest the cane
stubble is freed from trash and fer
iilized in the center of the rows, and
is then covered with strips of tar or
asphalt felt. The paper is held in
place along the rows by stones, with
the trash heaped over the edges of
the strips. The young shoots of cane
are spearlik6 and rigid, and are thus
able to penetrate the paper, while
the weeds which cannot get through
are soon smothered and dried up by
the heat concentrated beneath the
covering. The shoots are aided some
what by laborers who five or six
weeks after the paper has been ap-
Piled, pass along the rows, cutting
Sits where the pressure has raised
tentlike elevations. The shoots are
much blanched as they emerge, but
quickly turn green and take on
vigorous growth.
The best of many papers tried is
black sheathing felt weighing not
more than nine pounds per hundred
square feet. Not only are the weeds
destroyed, but the plants profit by
the mulching action, with the great
amount of heat absorbed and impart-
ed to the soil.

A means of making use Of the cleo

vised in Japan, and it promises to be
of great assistance in locating sunken
vessels, to recover which salvage OPP
eratims on a big scale are expected
after the war. Tests on this magnet
have recently resulted in bringing
up thousands of japanese shells, fired
in practice at sea, and it isVob un-
derstood that it will be used in ex-
tracing she'll scraps from European
battlefelds. The value of the iron
at present is huge.
