sides taking up much Of the time OF
the soldiers and costing very much
labor and money for transporting the
necessary timber.
1t was then decided to utilize the
older classes Of the reserve Of the
territorial army who had been called
to the colors and who. despite their
previous military training. had been
found unable to bear the strain OF
campaigning. Several companies oi
them were formed. and they were
first given the task Of constructing
shelters in the Somme district and
around verdun. Their Officers were
chosen from the engineer corps and
from men who In civil life were en-
gagged in similar undertakings. such
as builders and miners. Most OF the
men were peasants. used to digging
in the fields, and their work was very
satisfactory. but this kind Of exca'
waiting work was different. and they
suffered considerably from the un'
usual motion Of having to throw the
earth upward. or wheeling It in bar
rows up steep inclines.
One OF the oficers overcome thii
trying dificulty by inventing an ap'
paratus for carrying loosened eartf
or rock to the surface by use Of elec
trio power. BY this arrangement two
men can do the work formerly done
by ten. When the earth has reached
the surface It falls into barrows aut
is wheeled away along the level and
distributed about In such . manner
40 not to attract the attention Of the
enemy's airmen always flying abou'
the lines to observe what is going OF
in the opposing position.
Special army sawmills have beer
started to provide the props and th'
planking for the shelters. and every
thing 10 done at minimum cost.
The veterans 20 employed have sus
tained losses when working In ex
posed positions. but no danger ap
pears to daunt them. and they con
tinue their job as tho they wer'
working in the fields at home. The,
have adapted themselves to the US

ter Monson, and Alfred and Martin
Lundberg were at Minneapolis the
first of the week, where they went on
business resulting from their former
dealings with the Sterling Securities
Corporation. We understand that
some time ago these parties obtained
judgment against the above named
corporation for the amount of their
stock subscriptions, which totalled
something like $4,000. Then two of
the Minneapolis parties connected
with the corporation offered to make
compromise settlement, or purchase
the judgment. These parties were
Messrs. Tremain and Eberhardt. An
agreement was reached whereby the
local parties above named, received
81, 200 in cash and took a note fol
$4,000, agreeing to assign their judg
ment to the two parties above named
Later 1t became necessary to start
suit on the note above mentioned and
the trial Of the case was to have taken
place at Minneapolis this week. Set
Element, however, was effected outside
Of court, for the sum Of $4,000. Thus

Whao Time HUM Heavy.

Today, when there is such a premium
On time, one finds it hard to realize
the. condition portrayed by William
Wistar Comfort in the Bookman:
In its day and for two or three cen
turtles later The Romance Of the Rose
was the most popular work composed
IN medieval Europe. 1t consists Of
about $4,000 eight-syllable verses in the
old French original. That forms a
very considerable poem. A poem In
two volumes would be sufficient in our
day to rebuff most readers. But think
Of copying out in longhand such a
poem!
''Time was something to be killed by
our ancestors, and hands were found
to copy this endless poem almost 200
times. That is to say, We have near
~ 200 French manuscripts of the
Roman de la Rose and that does not
account for all those that must have
been lost in the course Of 600 years
However. the figures give us some idea
of what medieval literary popularity

The Scale on q Map.

Distance on a map is measured by
its "scale." By laying rule ON a gov
eminent map and ascertaining the
number Of inches between two points
the number of miles between them can
readily be calculated. Nearly all maps
are drawn to a scale representing one.
two, three or more miles to the inch,
as the inch is the common unit Of meas
urement in the United States by which
the eye is accustomed to Judge dis.
tances on paper. - r.. III '<~'
A scale of 1:62,500, used in the well
known United States geological survey
typographical maps, denotes that one
inch on the map represents 62tN
inches on the ground, which Is the ap

Pantheon and Parthenon.

The Parthenon, or what Is left OF It,
stands upon the Acropolis of Athens.
The most famous building on earth
was erected under the administration
Of Pericles about B. C. 442. Its present
ruinous condition was caused by the
explosion of a bomb during the war
between the Venetians and Turks In
1857.
The Pantheon at Rome was built by
Agrippa in B. c. ~ and, unlike the
more beautiful temple at Athens, Is
still in a fair state Of preservation.
The Pantheon is, Of course, well worth
seeing both for its own sake and on
account of its historic interest, but
it does not hold the fame belonging
to the Incompatible building on the
AcrOD0liS.

tn. Hummino Bird Flower

The Humming Bird Flower.
Alletedo avasisis, the wonderful so
called RUNNING bird flower Of the
plains of eastern Turkey, stands unique
and alone among the many specimens
Of floral mimicry that have been classi-
fed by modern botanists. It is beau
tiful blossom of variegated hues, the
total length Of the entire flower being
about one and three-quarter inches. AS
one might imagine from its name, it is
an exact image Of miniature hum
ming bird. The breast IS green, the
wings deep rose color, the throat yell
low and the head and beak almost pure
black. The only particular in which it
is not a perfect bird is that the stem
gives it the appearance Of having but
single leg and foot.
