His most interesting experience,
apart from the bursting of shrapnel
and the vicious splitting of a machine
gun trained on his hiding place, was
the large number of men unattached
to any of the organizations who In the
first days of the fight went to the
Irish Republican commands and said,
"For Gods sake, give me rife and
few rounds" He estimates thou
sands in Dublin felt the thrill when
they saw chance to strike blow for
Ireland and heard English bullets zip
ping, but there were no rifles for them.
Many of the men killed, he states,
were these unframed men who re-
sponded to Padraic Pearse's appeal
for recruits.
The newcomer says if the Irish in
America had acted properly there
would have been 10000 rifles and men
in Dublin instead of twelve hundred.
The fight was lost for lack of rifles.
Questioned as to the attitude Of the
men recently released from Frongoch
internment camp, he states every one
of them is actively reorganizing the
volunteers and counting up the hidden
rifles and supplies for the next fight,
which he thinks is not far off.

that war in itself is simply a

plague, famine or an earthquake,

tribute the present struggles to
human causes, advising them to
study history and philosophy.

HOW TO COOPERATE WITH
THE IRISH STANARD.

We are often asked to do our
readers a little favor, and we are
sure there is no one who can
say that we haven't always CON-
piled with their requests and we
are here to continue to carry out
the wish of our readers, however,
in this instance we are going to
turn the table and ask a little
cooperation by asking our read
ers to glance over the list of
our advertisers throughout the
paper, then make it a point to
do at least part of your trading
at the place advertised in The
Irish Standard, if it is suitable to
your wants. Manage to let the
dealer know in tactful way that
you read his "ad" in The Irish
Standard. He will draw his own
conclusions, and you will do us a
little favor which we will greatly
appreciate, for through your CO.
operation the Irish Standard will
grow to be a better and greater
paper with each issue.

unteered to Take Her to Her Train
and That They Had Her Tiekets-
Would Have Taken Her Out Of the
States.
New York, Feb. 21.-The executive
committee of the Friends of Irish
Freedom last night learned of a das-
tardly attempt on the part of British
agents to kidnap Mrs. Hannah Shelby
Skehington and her 7-year-old son and
take them into Canada. Mrs. Skef-
fington, who, after speaking at Rogers
College, Lowell, Mass, was at her no.
tel and was about to leave for a point
in New Hampshire, when q man and
two women, representing themselves
as a special committee of escort, called
on her with an auto and volunteered
to take her to train, saying they
had her tickets all ready. They wore
green badges like the local committee,
and Mrs. Skeffington presumed they
were her friends. They intended to
put her on nOrthbound night train
which would have landed her in Can
ada in the morning. Just as she was
getting ready to enter the mysterious
auto the local committee members ar
rived at the hotel and the mysterious
strangers disappeared. Mrs. Skefang.
ton was almost Frustrated when she
learned what "clese CALI she had
from being taken into Canada, where
she would have been arrested and no
doubt charged with high treason.
AS a result the Friends of Irish
Freedom have placed special detec-
tive guard in charge of Mrs. Skefdng-
ton on her trip west to Indianapolis
and other points.

A Dissected Plateau.

Standing on hilltop almost any
where in New England on a clear day
and looking around at the horizon ono
notices that the high level surfaces of
one hill after another approach the
plane Of the circular sky line. It re-
quires but little Imagination to recog-
nize in the successive hilltops the re-
mains of the even and continuous sur
face Of what was once a great plain,
from which the valleys Of today have
been carved by the erosive action Of
flowing water. This is most easily
recognized from a considerable eleva-,
ton, especially In the broad upland
high level areas of western Massachu-
sets at Whitcomb hills, on the Mo-
hawk trail This Is termed dissect-
ed plateau.-Geologicai Survey Bulletin.

Accurate Timekoepono.

The most perfect clocks are used in
astronomical observations. One of
these has run for months, with an
average error of only one fifteen-thOu-
sandth of second a day. In order to
run so perfectly clock must not only
be constructed and adjusted with the
greatest care, but must be installed In
a special room, such as an under
ground vault, where the temperature
is practically uniform. It must also be
free from jar or vibration and must,
therefore, be mounted on a heavy ma
sorry pier. Lastly, it should always
be kept under the same barometric
pressure, and this may be effected by
inclosing it In glass or metal case,
from which the air is partially ex-
hausted. In order that the case may
not be opened or disturbed the wind
fhg is done automatically by electricity,
the frequency Of the winding in some
cases being as often as every minute.
Only pendulum clocks can attain the
highest degree Of accuracy. - Wall

Our Naval Chronomatera.

Our Naval Chronom0toro.
With view to providing the exact
time for chronometers used ON war
ships, the navy department has a mas
ter clock in a vault under the Naval
observatory, where the temperature is
never allowed to vary more than the
hundredth part Of degree. This even
ness Of temperature is ensured by
means Of thermostat and a small
electric stove. When the temperature
rises the two-hundredth part of a de-
gree above normal the thermostat auto
matically turns off the stove. When
It falls below normal the stove starts
working again. Sometimes the electric
bulb is switched of and on again over
a dozen times a minute. Before being
dispatched from the observatory all
chronometers are kept under close
scrutiny In a room hung around with
wet cloths. This is done so as to &C.
custom them as far as possible to the
conditions Of moisture which prevail
at sea.

I enlisted in the Canadian army in

am feeling fine now. I don't think /
will have to go back to France for
quite a while yet:
Mother, dear, l have changed quite
a lot since last saw you and think
I am more of man, and I have un-
dertaken mans part In this great

think I was very lucky to get away
so easily. There were so many of my

that I was wounded. You see, we
were going to capture q small bend

The Citv Of Silanco.

Amyclae, an ancient town of Laco-
mia, situated on the eastern bank of
the Eurotas, was a famous city in the
heroic age. It was the abode of Tyn-
darius and his spouse, Leda; of Castor
and Pollux, who are hence called the
"Amyclaean Brothers," 1t was only
shortly before the first Messenian war
(743-74 b. co. that the town was con-
Quered by the Spartan king Teleclus
The Inhabitants had been so often
alarmed by false reports of the ap-
proach Of the Spartans> that, growing
tired Of living in a state of continual
alarm, they decreed that no one should
henceforth mention or even take notice
Of these disagreeable fictions, and &C.
cordingly when the Spartans at last
came no one dared to announce their
approach; hence arose the Greek saying.
"Amyclae persisted through silence"
