Mr.. Sonneck had this to say regard

1.-THE main objection raised against
America has been the union of the
words with that foreign air of cosmo-

Yet there Is this difference, which
should never be overlooked: II the
Danes or the Prussians use God Save
the King they have deliberately bor-
rowed 1t from the British. Not so with
US. God Save the King was, before
1776, as much our national anthem as
that of the motherland. Being Brit

Colonel Drake discovered that oil

depth Of 405 feet an enormous vein of
water was struck, with such a gas
pressure that the volume was thrown

erting every possible effort that
small flood was averted. The flow was
finally checked, however, and the wa

Of the world, maintains that he has

Many persons cannot attend motion

tereffects on the eyes. Some suffer
from eyestIain and others are subject
to severe headaches. The relief, In
most cases, consists in perfectly
glasses, according to the Popular Sci.
ence Monthly. The picture may not
be quite so sharp. but this is more than
compensated for by the increased COM
fort. For persons with very sensitive
eyes, . colored glass, either amber,

ford immediate relief. It is also ad-
visable for those who are liable to suf-
fer after viewing the pictures to avoid
sitting in place where 1t is necessary
