is polished with emery, and is then
photographed through blue grass

tons must be reproduced exactly in

The density of the resulting negative

for silver is 0 and that of copper is

splendidly the pounding of the Prus-

from La Lune. The French guns re-
piled with spirit after which Keller

ing, headed charge. This was nearly

then that Kellerman, recovering pos
session Of his faculties, reorganized
his infantry, refused to mount horse,
placed himself on foot at the head of
his line, raised his chapeau high on
the point of his sword, and calling
upon his men to use the bayonet,
raised the cry Of:
'yive la nationl"
The troops caught the spirit. So
great was the clamor they raised, and
so resolute their appearance that the
Prussians, hesitating at charge up
hill against so formidable foe, halt
ed in the valley and then slowly re-
treated. The young king Of Prussia
was beside himself with rage. Be
rating his soldiers with bitterness he
formed the flower Of his regiments in
person and headed them for the French
line. The French artillery was again
firing with spirit and by now the re-
endorsements sent by Dumouriez were
beginning to come into play. The
Prussian kings staff was moved down
by his side, but still the boyish mon
arch, his sword waving above his head,
besought his men to go forward For
a time the issue hung In the balance,
the French artillerists working like
fiends while the infantry, now afire
with enthusiasm, held nobly to the
task and the veteran Prussian corps
yainly endeavored to close the great
gaps which the cannon balls we're maxi

their king back in the flood of disas-

lRIsHMEN IN COMMON BOND
Writer Sees Peculiar Opportunity for
Commonwealth in That Country,
for Many Reasons.

Ireland is. perhaps, the only country
In Europe in which a cooperative COM
monwealth has notable chance of be-
ing realized. Few great Industrial in
terests have been established there
The bulk of the people are small farm
ers whose economic status makes CO.
operative combinations more and more
necessity. The people have always
worked well in combination from the
time of the Celtic clans who so ably
and for so long resisted great mill
tary aggression to our own time when
their combinations for boycott de-
stroyed feudal system that had the
might of an empire behind 1t.
Such commonwealth. democratic
for production. aristocratic in leader
ship would move more and more to-
ward brotherhood. The literary
movement of today may be prophecy
Of or perhaps a preparation for that
brotherhood. The theme of the new
Irish poetry. as have said, is spir-
itual democracy.
The ideal of the cooperative com
monwealth is apt to gain the alleg-
iance of every vital force in the coun-
try. To those who would have Ire
land an Independent state it shows the
way to economic independence to
those who would have Ireland a resur-
gent Gaelic nationality it shows the
way Of return to Gaelic form Of So
cial organization; to those who react
from the dreadful economic conditions
In many parts of the country 1t shows
the way to economic betterment.-

Rife Range Industry Brisk.

The rifle range industry has taken
on q wonderful impetus all over New
York. Not only the men In uniform,
but citizens of all ages and even wom-
en- are printing their weather eye for
emergency service against the kaiser.
The little street ranges, with their
equipment Of stationary clay pipes,
moving clay ducks and silver balls
balanced on water spouts, have mush-
ro0med their way into all the thor
oughfares in which people promenade
in the evenings, and every unoccupied
store and booth has been converted
into spot for the testing of ones
prowess with the rifle. Civilians are
in majority among those who nightly
try their skill at these ranges, but very
frequently group Of men in uniform
will saunter up to have little COM
petition among themselves. The civil
ian marksmen on these occasions
usually retire for the time being.

PROTECTS EYES OF SOLDIERS
Chain Visor Attached to Helmet is
New Device Used by British
Troops In Trenches.

A new chain visor helmet attach
ment to protect the soldiers eyes is
being tried by the British In France.
The visor is the invention of Capt. II.
r. Cruise. an ophthalmic surgeon with
General Haig's forces. Around the
front of the regular steel helmet Doc
tor Cruise has placed slender rod,
to which is attached strip Of steel
chain mail, about three inches deep.
This slides on the rod as easily as a
curtain, and 1t can be drawn, like a
veil, fairly close by an ingenious con-
trivance and fastening, The eyes of
the wearer are thus protected against
any flying fragment of shell, or--what
is almost equally dangerous--any
stone or piece of earth thrown up by
the explosion of a shell. The steel
mail obscures the vision to certain
extent, but not to such degree that
the soldier Is unable to use his rifle.
But If he wishes greater clearness of
sight half the mail can be looped back
and one eye will still be protected.

ORCHID ICE CREAM COMMON
Ii Does Not Bear That Aristocratic
Title But Goes by the Very PIE
heian Name of Vanilla.

Very few Of us would ever think of
ordering orchid Ice cream without a
little tremor Of the pocketbook, for
everyone knows that the orchid is the
most expensive Of flowers. But there
are thousands of persons who eat or
child ice cream daily. Although they
probably have not been aware Of the
distinction, 1t Is none the less a fact.
OF course the ice cream is not ordered
by the aristocratic name of orchid.
On The contrary, 1t bears the very pie
beian name of vanilla.
There are said to be no less than
$4,000 varieties Of orchid scattered
over the earth. All of them have the
peculiar artificial beauty and the
haunting odor that seem inseparable
from this flower, which looks almost
as though 1t were product Of an I'M
healthy condition In nature. OF all
these $4,000 varieties, only one has, any
practical value, and that is the one
from which vanilla comes. The plant
grows abundantly In South and Cen
trail America, and has been transplant
ed to other tropical countries, where

There was story in the American

been able to get along on his salary
installed his wife as temporary re-
ceiver. 1t worked wonders with him.
Here is part of the story:

Saving Causes Coin Shortage.

Shortage Of small coins, complained
of by Minneapolis banlr, may be due
partly to the practice of saving buffa-
10 nickels and the new dimes, bankers
believe.
Many persons have formed the habit
of putting away the buffalo coins or
the new ten-cent pieces on the we'll
established theory that the saver can
accumulate considerable sums in this
way and yet do it so gradually that
The never misses it."
Bankers said the penny famine prob
ably was due to recently instilled thrift
among children. Pennies given them
by parents, coins that formerly went
beck into circulation as quickly as lit
tie feet could fiutter to the corner
candy store, now find their way into
the toy Minneapolis Journal.

prixina Away Disease.

Well-known walkers have proved
that the short cut to health is walking.
Many of them say that through this
exercise they have cured rheumatism,
the exertion removing uric acid from
the system. Another well-known pc
destrian cured himself of Brighf's dis
ease by persisting in walking after be-
ing told that his cure was hopeless. I
have known persons to cure persistent
colds by vigorous walking. The exer-
else had the same result as Turkish
bath. Needless to say that one should
not linger in the damp clothes when
the walk Is finished. They should be
removed and hot bath taken, followed
by cold shower.-Exchange.

Diseases Spread by insects.

DIR. L. 0. Howard, chief of the fed

recently that no fewer than 226 dis
eases are spread directly or indirectly
through the agency Of insects, and
that 2S2 species of insects are guilty
Of some form of the deadly work. This
bears out the scientific contention that
Insects are the only dangerous rivals
of man for mastery of the earth. The
present has been called the age Of
man and insects; and the battle for
supremacy has not yet been fought to
d finish. Man is increasing from cen
tiIry to century, but the insects are,

DON'T FORGET THE HORSE!
There Was Another Hero in Wild
Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,
Reminds Writer.

Paul Revere's name was made inn
mortal when he rode from Boston to
Lexington and Concord, warning the
patriots along the way of the British
approach, and his fame has been Sc
curely enshrned in the hearts of all
Americans.
Historians have honored themselves
In honoring him. Poets have found in
spiration in praising him. He is an
idol of childhood, an example in the
prime of manhood and solacing mem
DRY of old age.
How few characters loom up like
great peaks above the mountain ranges
of time!
And Paul Revere was one of these.
He was one of the precious few great
enough to grasp an opportunity to do
IN incalculable good to mankind
But while we give deserved glory to
Paul Revere, let us no longer forget
that there was another hero in that
wild midnight ride, says writer in
the Christian Herald.
There was the horse.
HAny other horse might have done as
WELL" you think7 Well, SO might any
other man have done as well, perhaps.
So might we fiippantly disparage any
hero.
But the fact remains that 1t was Paul
Rever's horse that did it. And the
harder work fell on the horse. But for
the true horses faithfulness, Paul Re-
we're would have been failure.
