| The Kaiser will doubtless explain
the capture of those 10000 prisoners
! by the French as follows: The cap
ture Of 10000 Of our men by the
French was a strategic move Of the
greatest importance. Foodstuffs are
scarce in France. therefore the feed
| ing of these 10000 German prisoners
will further deplete the French supply
and conserve our own resources.

SHRINE OF THE "HoLY COAT"
Cathedral at Treves Contains One Of
Most jealousy Guarded Relics
Of the Roman Church.

At intervals of many years the old
Prince Bishopric Of Treves, wakens out
of its half-slumbering condition and
becomes the center Of great pilgrim
age. Besides its numerous Roman re-
mains. this quiet old town. claiming to
be 1900 years older than Rome, is the
shrine Of the "Holy Coat" one of the
most jealousy guarded relics ip the
possession Of the Roman church.
The citizens Of Treves are very
proud Of this seamless garment, and
they have given 1t a prominent place
on their coat-of-arns. says the Dundee
Advertiser. 1t was not until 1895 that
the sHoly Coat" was placed over the
high altar, but 1t was not exposed to
the public gaze for some three hundred
years afterward. It was kept tn Sc
cret place Of the cathedral known only
to few, and there were many who
doubted its existence. A guide book
Of 1914 says:
1.-THE existence Of the relic at pres
ent Is rather doubtfuHat least, 1t is
not visible. The attendants Of the
church say It IL walled up AL doubts
were removed in 1874, when Archhish-
pp Arnold announced a centenary
Jubilee, at which it was exhibited to a
million and half of pilgrims from all
parts Of the world. The coat is loose
garment with wide sleeves, very SIM
pie In form, Of coarse material, dark
brown in color, probably as the result
Of age, and entirely without seam or
decoration.

Clock DlaIs for Summer.

Instead Of moving the hands Of the
clock forward and back at the time Of
changing from standard to summer
time, and vice versa, plan recently
proposed in England is to have clocks
provided with an adjustable dial. The
circular disk Of the dial would be put
In place by screws in curved slots, and
the dial would be rotated through one
hour space at the time Of making the
change, leaving the hands untouched.
1t is claimed that this plan Is especial
~ desirable In the case of striking
clocks, the hands Of which cannot be
moved back. The position of the dial
would also indicate whether the clock
was keeping summer or normal time.
The objection to this procedure. Of
course, is that practically everybody
tells time from position Of the hands,
without any attention to the figures on
the dial.

haydn's OK Minue$,

Hadyn one day received visit from
butcher who said that himself and his
daughters were admirers of Haydn's
music, and as the young woman was
soon to be married he made bold to
ask that the composer write q minuet
for her wedding. Kind Papa Haydn"
consented, and In a few days the man
of meat obtained his music. Not long
afterward Haydn was surprised to
hear this same minuet played under
his window. On looking out he saw a
band Of musicians forming q ring
around large OK tastefully decorated
with flowers. Soon the butcher came
up and presented the OK to Haydn, say
ing that for such excellent music he
thought he ought to make the com
poser present Of the best OK in his
possession. Ever after this little com
position was called the 'Ox" minuet.-

an effort is being made to manufacture

Stranaisd the Tree.

A Victoria clergyman had an orange
and pine tree In his garden One
spring it was noticed that the orange
tree was dropping, and on digging
down he found that the roots Of the
pine, which stood at some distance,
had twisted around the taproot Of the
orange tree and were strangling It to
death. The offending roots were IN
twisted and cut away, and the droop-
ing plant revived. The tree eventually
died. Then on digging down at a
greater depth the clergyman found the
pine had attacked the orange root low
er down and accomplished its murder

For Chess PIavers.

The Swedish monarch, Charles XII,

Grothusen. The position beneath had

NapoIeon's Divorce,

Napoleon's divorce, a civil act Of
the empire, was pronounced before
the grand council held In the TMleries
on December Is, 1909, and the next
day the senate confirmed 1t. To re-
move all religious scruples, the court
of the bishop Of Paris met and pro-
nounced the marriage with Josephine
null, this action being taken on Janu-
airy IA, 1910. The civil marriage Of
Bonaparte and Maria Louisa Of Aus
'tria, April /, 1910, was witnessed by
the college Of cardinals, save only two
who were too inf1rm to be brought to
Paris. The attitude of the church was
manifest at the religious marriage.
Not a cardinal was present although
they said that their absence was an
empty form due only to the drcum-
stances that Plus VII had not approved
the divorce.

Fighting In the Air.

Before an aviator Is prepared to en-

know how to loop the loQp, do nose
or vertical dive, execute tall spin, q
tail slide or any other Of the SO called
stunts" said Miss Ruth Law.
Fighting In the air Is fighting for
position. Consequently It Is largely a
business Of lodging. The man who is
the better dodger, who has the most
tricks up his oeve, Is the man who Is
going to win have seen men stop
controlling their machines altogether
and simply fall through space for sew
eral thousand feet.
1.-THE point Of this, Of course, Ia to
give the opposing f1ier the idea that
the plane has been struck. The oppos-
ing aviator, thinking he has put bis
enemy out Of commission, will start
away. Then the plunging air man will
switch on his power, regain control Of
his machine and overtake his enemy
without the latter knowing he is ap-
preaching. Such tactics naturally are
used at great attitudes. York

These figures show at 9 greater dis
