 BY CONGRESSMEN
Many Declare Address to Be Greatest Paper Prepar-
 ed by President.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Approval of President Wilson's declaration of war | on Austria Hungary was voiced by practically every member of congress, l'whO commented upon it. Many of those who approved it regretted only that it did not recommend also de- clarations of war on Turkey and Bur garia. Many pronounced the address the greatest state paper ever pre- pared by the president, and declared it sounded the keynote for the win ming of the war.
 "lt was the greatest the president has ever delivered" declared Chair man Chamberlain, Democrat of the senate military affairs committee. Representative Cannon, former Re. public speaker, declared it great message and thought the president might have some diplomatic reason for not including Turkey and Bull garia.
 Chairman Stone of the senate fore ign relations committee did not hear the address being at the war depart ment on business, but announced his approval
 Speaker Clark and Democrats Lead CT Kitchin said they would not dis cuss the message until they had time to read it carefully. Senator Lafolette declined to com ment. Any comment of mine will be given on the floor of the senate. :" he said.
 Word reached some of the Demo- l'cratic leaders today that when the war resolution comes u-> in the sen. ate an effort will made to amend it to include Turkey and Bulgaria.
 Vice President Marshall this com ment:

humorlno People Isn't Pleasant.

"Humoring man" sounds like a pleasant and comfortable thing, but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the money, it does not seem very fiattering 10 the humorer or the humoree, says writer in the Woman's Home Companion. And what lamentable sight is that of the humoree, what deep inequality 1t implies and what an absence of any real respect O" understanding between two people in. whose lives humoring is 9 part of the daily routine! When the one to be humored is a woman 1t may mean that man has been forced :nto the craven part of doing anything Cor the sake of peace. There are few concessions some men will not make 70 avoid domestic storm. Some un fortunate men there are who even give uD vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation, and even their own individualities in this unworthy cause.
 Three Notable Physlcal Features.
 The surface of North America pre- sents three great physical features- the great Pacific highlands, the central plains and the eastern highlands. The great Pacific highlands extend through the western part of North America, al- most from the arctic shores to the 1sthmus of Panama, and are traversed by the Rocky mountains and other high mountain chains. The central plains. which descend gradually from the crests of the Rocky mountains, include the Mississippi, Missouri and the Great Lakes regions. The Atlantic highlands. In the eastern part, extending from the northern coast of Labrador, nearly to the Gulf of Mexico. include the low plateau of Labrador to the north and the Appalachian or Allegheny noun. tains on the south, the principal sec. tions of the latter bearing the names of the White mountains in New Hamp- shire, the Green mountains in Vermont the Adirondacks in the state of New York, the Alleghenies in Pennsylvania. and the Black mountains in North Carolina.

NEW SEARCHLIGHT INVENTED
"Scotoscopia" Devised by an Italian,
Emits Invisible Rays IIIuminat-
ing Object Only.

Rome.-Signor Giulio Ulivi, the in
ventOr of Trays, was badly injured in
n laboratory experiment some time
ago, and only recovered after many
months spent in military hospital at
Milan. Signor Ulivi announces now
that he has succeeded in applying the
invisible mira red waves beyond the
red band of the spectrum to detect
objects in darkness by determining
their length.
The new invention Is known as $500
toscopia," meaning vision in darkness,
and consists of searchlight emitting
invisible rays which illuminate distant
objects and render them visible only to
the observer. Thus by means of SEQ
toscopic searchIights warships are en-
abled to see without being seen.
Photographs or rather Scotographs
of objects in darkness can be taken
and enlarged so that enemy coasts can
be mapped. The invention can be
used on land and sea as we'll as in the
air, so that it will be found most use
full In waging war against submarines
and in the defence against aerial raids.
Signals can be exchanged invisibly be-
tween ships equipped with Scotoscop-
tic apparatuses and other practical APP
plications of this wonderful invention
can be easily obtained.
