Chile Protects Saltpetre

SANTIAGO. Chile, Nov. 13.-The
Chilean government is looking into a
project for the Capitalization of the
purchase of saltpetre for the Entente
governments. 1t is studying especially
what course to take toward the pro-
6ucers Of saltpetre.
Regarding the question of saltpetre
prices, the Minister Of Finance has tele-

of sacks and combustibles are increas-
ing day by day, he urges, 1t is impos-
sible 10 name a st figure az which salt

Land. The she'll fire from both sides

but few walls are standing. The best
preserved house in the village was once
a cafe.
The patrols at night sometimes take
shelter behind the walls and try to
find cheer in the room where only
few broken bottles remain. The French
maintain that on dark nights the
oh osts of cognac, of burgundy and even
of champagne fit about, in and out
of the broken windows, and that
lucky poilu may sometimes detect a
ghost. or an inner warmth and tingle
from some drink that is gone.
Sometimes it is a German patrol
which spends the night in No Mans
Town. 1t is more or less a custom to
allow whichever side reaches the VII
lage first to hold it for the night, since
il is a strong defensive position IN the
dark.
An American patrol, penetrating into
the village recently, found that the
Germans who had been last in pos
session had nailed above the shattered
door Of the cafe sign which read
"Hindenburg Rathskeller." Silently but
swiftly the doughboys tore the sign
away and in the darkness fashioned
another Of their OWE. If the Germans

Sues for 100000 Bill
Deutsche Bank Refused to Re-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-"Die Zeit"
Of Vienna, Of September 10 last, dis
closes that a German peace effort az
fecting Serbia in 1915 and 1915 failed,
and the expenses incurred by the
diplomatist, amounting 20 $4,000, are
the subject Of a lawsuit against the
Deutsche Bank.
"Die Zeit," according to a transla-
ton given out by the Serbian Legation
to-day. says:
"Some light is being thrown on a
Lawsuit which has some very curious
antecedents and which began before the
civil session Of the High Court OF Buda-
pest. A so-called diplomatist, Count
Janos Dada, is suing the Deutsche Bank
for 100000 crowns, expenses which he
incurred az Bucharest in 1915 and 1916
before the Intervention Of Rumania in
the present war;, with view 20 bring
ing about separate peace between
Serbia and the Central Powers, and in
this way 20 open up the Danube for

a veritable nightmare. He sets sail on
each new cruise with the conviction
that it will be his last. In the language
of the, English soldier, he is perpetu-
ally going over the top and his period
of strain is much more lengthy and
nerve racking than that of the land
fighter.
"The effect on his mind is easily to
be understood, He begins to east about
him for some means Of escape from
this branch of the service, but he
quickly realizes that his only chance Of
escape IS that of capture and intern
ment, either by an enemy or neutral
power. 1t is this longing for capture
which sends him to sea helpless and
unarmcd. while his officers bristle with
the means of enforcing obedience and
discipline"

properly Italian at all. but imported.

among the rich and sappy foliage,
breathe of the Levant and the dark
skinned Saracenic invaders from the
east. The cactus, with Its prickly pear
fruit, called the "1ndian fg," and the
aloe came straight from Mexico ON the
heels Of the Spanish adventurings into
the unknown in the sixteenth century.

Flight Of a Swarm of M.t.or,.

A swarm Of meteors that appeared
on Feb. 8. 1913, was regarded at the
time as very remarkable ON account of
the great distance 1t was traced In the
earth's atmosphere. 1t was first seen
in Saskatchewan, western Canada and
seemed to be travelling southeasterly,
as it was also reported from Bermuda.
From the additional records supplied
by seamen w. Il. Denning. the English
authority on meteors, has concluded
that 1t continued in view during at
leas. $500 miles of Its flight. AS the
visible stream could at no time have
been more than about 100 miles high,
it aust have followed the earth's
curvature, and the curious idea has
been advanced by Garvin ]. Burns that
1t was really captured by the earth as
d group of infinitestimal satellites. The
meteors may thus have passed around
the globe several times before reach
ing the surface. 1t is supposed that
the orbit of the stream nearly coincid-
ed with that of the earth and that con-
sequently the velocity of fall through
our atmosphere was small.

Book. on a.. Shalt.

Books are frequently ruined through
carelessness. This is less in the ham
ding often than upon the shelves.
Books should not be packed tightly on
shelf. 1t ruins the back and causes
them to tear loose with the strain Of
getting in and out. Often it forces the
leaves to sag to the shelf when pushed
unduly. 1t is just as bad for books to
be too loose on shelf. as they warp,
and the spreading lenves encourage
dust. A bookcase with the contents
at every angle is not a pleasant
sight. There are some housekeepers
who think yearly busting of the
books at housekeeping time sufficient.
This Is bad enough when they are
kept under glass. When on open
shelves 1t means ruin to valuable
books. 1t takes little longer to dust
the backs and tops of books on each
shelf every day. Use soft cheese
cloth or silk duster and shake it fire.

So you see we beat them on
weight but they brag they can get
away from the Stone Pileites by
being fast on their feet. They tell
me that is the reason that the Mid

being killed-they could beat the

off Thanksgiving day. Tickets $1.O0.
Grandstand $3.50. The proceeds will
go to the Young Mems Christian AS

had better turn out and show your
patriotism.

Mans Eyes and Animals.

Aside from the monkey, man is the
only animal having what we call binoc.
ular single vision-that is, he can tell
not only the direction of an object, but
he can estimate fairly accurately its
distance. This is because both of his
eyes point ut the same object at the
same time. like two range finders. 9th.
er animals do not concentrate their
gaze in this way. Their eyes are set
more nearly at the sides of the head,
so that they see not only forward, but
backward for short distance. Man
on the contrary, sees clearly only the
object at which he locks directly
