The Pxamx Hinnopotamus.

One of the animals least known to
the outside world is the pygmy hippo
potamus of West Africa.
This animal is just what its name
implies, a pygmy hippopotamus. 1t is
much smaller than the common hippo
potamus, being no larger than an ordi-
nary or fair sized hog. 1t differs some
what from the common hippo I'm the
character oE its teeth, and instead Of
spending its time in the rivers and
lakes in large herds it wanders about
through the jungles singly or in pairs,
much after the manner of swine in
search of mast.-London Spectator.

Water or any other liquid cannot
flow from a bottle in a steady stream
because until the bottle is empty there
is continuous struggle between the
tendency of the liquid to fall from the
bottle and the rushing of the air to get
in. When a full bottle without a cork
is turned upside down there will be an
alternate realization of two operations,
the liquid to follow the attraction of
gravitation and the air to obey its nat
ural impulse to fill a void.-Exchange

SUNDAYS WAR SUMMARY

Five Americans are prisoners
aboard German submarine, the Ma
Wy Department believes. Four of
these probably are the first prisoners
of the American fighting force taken
by the Germans.
The captain of the American steam
er Campana and four members of the
armed guard were taken from the
steamer when she was sunk by Ger
man submarine August 6, lao miles
west of lie de Re, off the coast of
France.
Unfavorable weather again is ham
pering large scale operations in Flan-
ders, but in Southern Moldavia the
desperate fighting between the Russo
Rumanians and the Teutons contin-
ues with increasing ferocity.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen is US
ing strong forces in an endeavor to
break through the Entente line to-
ward the railroad junction of Tecut-
chui. The Russians and Roumanians
are resisting valiantly the numerical
ly superior enemy, but have been
forced to give up, at least temporar-
lily, their positions along the railroad
line north of Fokshani.
A Russo-Roumanian retirement to
the villages of Marasechti and Funtz-
ent, on the Sereth river, is reported
by Petrograd. In counter attacks,
preceding their retreat, the Russians
and Roumanians took 1,200 German
prisoners. Berlin says Won Macken-
sens troops withstood strong attacks
and captured more than 6,700 prison
ers, as we'll as eighteen cannon and
sixty-one machine guns.
FORCE RUMANIAN RETIREMENT
Around Onca, west of Fokshani and
near the Pennsylvania border, there
has been intense fighting with the
Teutons forcing Roumanian retire
ment to the northward. As counter
move to the Teutonic offensive the
Russians have assumed the initiative
in an attack at the confluence of the
Buzcu and Sereth rivers, southeast of
Fokshani and in the region of Galatz
Part of the Teuton positions were
captured by the Russians, who also
took some prisoners, four cannon and
eight machine guns. Elsewhere or
the eastern front, in Northern Rou-
mania, in Bukowina and on the Russo
Galician frontier, there has been nc
marked activity.
The weather was wet and stormy II
Flanders Saturday night and early
Sunday and there was little infantry
activity, but the artillery firing con-
tinues to be most intense. In an iso-
lated action north of Lens the British
gained possession of German crater
