RELICS FROM FLINT RIDGE
Collection of Arrowpoints and Spear. heads Donated by Ohio Man to
 Gonzaga University,

More than 70 arrowpoints and spear heads, gathered at Flint Ridge, O., have been donated to Gonzaga univer- sity museum of Spokane by Water A. Mikesell of Newark, O., says the Spo. kone Chronicle. They come from the most famous flint quarries worked by prehistoric men in the United States
 It was at Flint Ridge that the war riOrs of the stone age bought their am. munition for the hunt and for war fare,
 "The great quantities of flint imple- ments dug up there even in our own days permit us to form an estimate of the extensive workshops that must have been in operation there during the stone age, in order to supply the actual demand from near and far and to store away such a vast surplus" said A. M. Jung, curator of the mu- scum at GOnzaga.
 The specimens in the Gonzaga cOl- lection show we'll the various colors which made Flint Ridge implements so much sought after in prehistoric times. The characteristic colors are white, gray, yellow, brown, blue, green and black.

SHELLS CUT THROUGH WIRE
New ProjectiIe Has Scissors Attach nent-Another Releases Short
 Chains When 1t Explodes.

There seems no limit to what the new shells can do. One of the latest shells has a sort of scissors attach ment which, when released by the ex- plosiOn, will cut through the strongest wire entanglements. Another re leases a number of short chains when 1t eXplodes. These chains are sure to wreck anything they touch, says Popu- lar Science Monthly.
 The scissors shell has an opening in the casing through which the cutting arms project. They are slightly re- cessed in order to avoid wind resLs- tance, The arms are attached near the nose of the projectile. They are mounted on steel studs in such a man. ner that they can rock and expand in order to throw the free ends outward at the base of the shell.
 The fuse is made in the ordinary way, and behind it Is a chamber for the explosive charge. The projectile is fired just as any shell is fired. The explosion releases the cutting arms and they cut through any object with devastating force.
 The chain shell is considered simi-
 arly, except that the short chains are wound around the gaine and sepa- rated by disks which keep them in place until the projectile is emptied. Sometimes the chains are weighed heavily at the ends. When the ex- plosion takes place the chains fly out with fearful force, and in addition to their high-speed forward movement they rotate rapidly. Needless to say, where they hit something, there is nothing left.

Saw Soldier Cousin In Movies.

At moving picture performance, says the Boston Post, there was shown 'The Battle of Arras" and the retreat of the Germans. One view showed some English soldiers marching through a street in France. In the film the soldiers stopped in front of the camera a few seconds. when sud- denly an American soldier jumped to his feet and yelled at the top of his voice, "Give lem thunder, Johnnie, old top! Give lem thunder!" The audi ence almost went wild in its applause; but the soldier, realizing what he had done, blushed and started for an exit, when a young woman usher told him not to mind, but stay and see the show. He later explained that the man in the picture was Johnnie Clark, his cousin.

the German conditions for peace.
