Soldiers, Chance of Life.

If you, drafted man, believe that
statistics tell the truth, you will feel as
safe in France as you usually do in
the streets of New York. So says Rog-
er w. Babson, the eminent statis-
tician, according to Popular Science
Monthly. Furthermore, he says that
the man who is connected with the
heavy field artillery is no more likely
to be killed than one in the employ of
a railroad. However, he does not hold
out such high hopes for the lieuten-
ants, sergeants and corporals, the
death rate being very much greater
among officers than among privatas.
Also. the mortality is higher among
volunteer corps than among drafted
men. Sixty men per thousand are now
being killed in the war. and about $50
men out of each thousand are
wounded.

Submarine improvements.

Since April 1 German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render it more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boatS, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom; but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only conserves
fuel, but prevents its enemies from
hearing the throb of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscopes give
further assistance to the submarine in
concealing it's position. A mixture of
oxygen and strained gas is now used
In the engines, and the exhaust is
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave
wake. Finally, new listening devices
enable it to hear and judge the size of
ships at a considerable distance.-Ex-

HERMIT SCULPTOR IS FOUND
Spends Time Modelling Little Master
pieces Which He Promptly De-
stroys Upon Completion.

There has been discovered at Cape
Scott, one of the most solitary points
In Vancouver island, by the chief eD-
gineer of the public works department
of British Columbia, a sculptor who
spends his time in modelling little mas
terpieces from Jumps of clay and then
destroying them, relates an exchange.
He is A. F. Whittier, and he calls
himself ''prospector." Living entire
ly alone, he has for the past two years
been carrying out lonely Investigations
of mineral claims in his neighborhood.
His sculptor's tools are of the simplest
kind. and 1t is his habit to work with
the same piece of clay, which weighs
scarcely five pounds, but with that he
has modelled scores of objects.
The government engineer found him
Just as he had completed bust of the
martyred British nurse, Edith Cavell.
Mr.. Whittier was about to destroy the
work in order that he might use the
clay for a miniature statue of his son,
who was recently killed. He was, how
ever, persuaded to part with the bust,
which is to be auctioned in aid of the
Red Cross funds.

WRITES HIMSELF TO DEATH
Anagram Writing From Shakespeare
Works Takes Vitality of Noted
British Author.

The death of Capt. Basil Willett
Charles Hood, the British author, was
brought about by his excessive at
tempts at anagram writing from Shake
speares works, according to testimony
at the inquest in London. He was
fifty-three years old and former Off
Ger of the Prince of Wales West York
shire regiment.
The coroner, according to the Lon
don Times, said it was evident what
caused death. Captain Hood was en-
gagged in a laborious undertaking, con-
structing writing out of the cryptic
grams which he alleged that he found
IN Shakespeare.
"There are reams of writing here"
said the coroner. "Every single let
ter is written most carefully, and it
must take months to file all this stuff
about secret writing, and various mes
sages which he purported to have
found concealed by means of cryptic
grams in Hamlet and other plays. 1t
seems to me that he has been working
very late at night and all day at this
rubbfSh-it cannot be called anything
.lse-and has been exhausting himself
and wearing out his nervous system by
going without proper amount OF
nourishment because he thought his
brain more active on an empty stom-
ach. All the time he was using his
strength in this way he was exhaust
ing his strength"

CATERPlLLARS CAUSE RASH
Several Cases Of Blood Poisoning Re-
ported at Emergency Hospital Of
Salt Lake City.

No less than four cases of blood poi
soning and body rash caused by a
virulent variety of caterpillar have
been reported to the emergency hos
pital, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Mrs.
Dean r. Daynes of 876 South West
Temple street, appealed to the city
officials for advice in regard to a rash
that had broken out ON her baby's
back. Mrs. Daynes said she had found
an ordinary looking yellow caterpillar
in her baby's clothing and discovered
the rash later. She was advised to
call in a physician Immediately.
"Caterpillars are the larvae of
lepidopterous insect, not necessarily a
butterfly, in the first stage of meta
morphosis," according to Webster. The
larvae of such insects as the geom-
etrid moth or the hawk moth are
smooth and are not poisonous. The
large yellow haired ones have pencil
of hairs that look like horns and a
fasicule of hairs that resembles tail.
1t is the sting from these hairs that
poisons, as it is almost impossible for
the insect to bite.
No case of caterpillar sting has
proved fatal SO far as the officials OF
the Salt Lake hospitals know. Mothers
were advised to keep their very young
children off lawns and from beneath
trees, unless some one was in attend
ance to watch them.
George Williams, thirty-eight years
old, of 537 South West Temple, also
of Salt Lake, was bitten on the thigh
by a caterpillar while in bed. Within
an hour the poison had spread through
his entire system and a rash had
broken out on his arms and back. He
was treated at the emergency hos
pital, bringing the caterpillar with
him.

should Keep Time With Feet.

The wrist watch has been made pop
ular by the boys in khaki. 1t is much
more convenient they find to turn up
their sleeve and note the time than 1t
is to dig in their jeans to discover it.
But, according to a facetious member
of the camp at Van Cortlandt Park, 1t
looks as if the cherished fad will be
sent to the discard. "The old man,
meaning, of course, the colonel, he said,
SIS very much up in the air about wrist
watches. What he wants mostly is for
rockies to keep time with their feet"

The Spirit That's Needed.

G.. Bernard Shaw, the Irish play

nobody but an idiot could imagine
that the pacifists and socialists would

peace negotiations which will end the

IF Shaw is right" said labor lead

One Year to Travel Is Miles.

Rudolph Henderson, chief of the
Southern party of Stefensson arctic
expedition, has received letter from
Rev. II. Girling, Emanuel. Saskatoon
who for the last three years has been
irving to reach the sO-called blond
Eskimos. The little boat in which
three missionaries comprising the
party were travelling was blown up
by an explosion last spring, and they
lost the greater part of their supplies.
In a years time the party had sue
ceeded in travelling only 25 miles along
the coast, so great were the difficult
ties experienced.
