TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The barometer is the invention of Evangelista Torricelli, a FIorentine, who was born BIO years ago today. He was educated by his uncle, a monk. who afterward sent him to Rome to benefit by the scientific teachings of Benedetto Casteli. The perusal of Gallileo's works inspired him with many original ideas, The discovery which perpetuated his fame was made in 1643. Gallileo had been unable to understand why water re- fuses to rise above 33 feet in a closed tube. Torrice1li decided to try the experiment in a more compendious form. AS a result of his experiments he constructed a ''siphon-barometer." :" The mercuria1 barometer was long known as the "Torricellian tube" and the vacuum 1t includes is still known to scientists as the '"Torricellian vacuum" The inventor of the ba- rometer died in Florence at the age of 39, while he was engaged in ex- periments which might have resulted in other momentous discoveries.

SERBIAN MASONS
 SEND APPEAL TO AMERICAN MASON

The Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons for Serbia has just sent an unusual document to all the Ma sonic councils and lodges in this coun- ty. Its publication is called forth by the fact that pacifsm has long been a part of the Masonic creed and Masons may be disposed to consider seriously the peace proposals which will be forthcoming from the Central Powers. In view of the German ag- gression which brought on the World War, the Serbian Masons want it clearly understood that they are not pacifists. At least, they make plain their conviction that an immediate and premature peace cannot meet in any way the earnest desire of true Masonry.
 Following this statement is sum- mary in outline of the piratic interna- tional policies sanctioned by Germany Austria Hungary, Turkey, and Bull garia before and since the opening of the war. The Supreme Council ar gues that nothing but complete cessation of these practices will make the world safe to live in. A peace which makes possible a continuation of such depredatory dealings is nc peace at all, but slavery.
 The letter concludes with strong appeal to Masons i'll every country | to do their utmost to stif1e pacifs propaganda which seeks an immediate peace rather than a just one ana leaves the way open for further mil itarism and attempts at world dom | ination.

POLISH STUDENTS
 UNDER SUSPICION
 OF HUN INVADERS

Students in the Polish universities have been so open and fearless in their anti-German demonstrations that it has been necessary to place them under surveillance. Although these boys are nearly all under 21 years of age, they have been among the most active elements in their agi- tation for a free Poland.
 While some of their performances savor of the traditional pranks of the college Freshman, the patriotic mo- tive behind them has caused the Ger mans to regard them with deep gray ity. Their first outburst took place on January 23, 1917, immediately fol- lowing President Wilson's declaration in faor of free Polish state. On ed all night through the streets of Warsaw.
 After the Brest-Litovsk treaty they hung streamers of crape from their dormitory windows. They also held burlesque representation of the signing of thes treaty which was con sidered so seditious that the German soldiers broke it up, shooting and wounding two of the participants. Af- ter the Versailles meeting of June g. g. jollification meeting was held.
 A letter of Governor General vor Beseler to the rector of the Uniers- ity of Warsaw comments bitterly upon the boys behaior, and declares that the German authorities cannot yield to the wishes and demoAs tra- two displays of politically unripe youths" Evidently on BeseIer's re- | monstrance had little effect for the order placing the uniersities under military surveillance soon followed.

AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN IN
 FIGHTING TRIM
They Keep To The Top
 Notch of Health.

The spirit of the times demands perfect health and nerves, and keep ing them up to the highest degree of ef1ciepcy.
 Wise men and women have learned that ti does not pay to allow health or nerves to run down and are quick to take advantage of Natures greatest red blood and nerve tonic, Phosphated Iron, the minute they feel they are slowing up.
 Whatever your work may be there is no reason why it should continue to tire you; work should only use the right amount of your energy. It is trying to work on your nerves and forcing yourself that wastes your
 strength, runs you down, gives you
 those restless nights, loss of appetite
 and indigestion, when you get up in
 the morning. as tired as when you went to bed.
 There is no sense in anyone being 8 victim of i'll health, poor blood, over work, nerves or the blues when Phosphated Iron will afford such prompt and permanent relief. All over the country men and
 women in every walk of life lay their
 good health, strength and nerves of iron to the use of Phosphated Iron,
 the red blood and nerve builder, and | it will also put you on your feet, make 1 you feel like live one. It produces results that last, that's what counts, no 'ifs' about it.
 To insure physicians and their pa l tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put in capsules only. Do not take pills or tablets. Insist on capsules.

FRENCH TANKS
 WIN LAURELS IN EVERY FIGHT

With the American Armies, Oct 15 -(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Greater laurels daily are be- ing won by the French light tanks which are cooperating with the Amer ican forces in pushing the Germans back toward the Rhine.
 Among the many individual feats of the tanks and their drivers which have come to light, one of the most interesting, perhaps, is that of Brtga- dier Collier, who has been decorated with the cross of the Legion of Hon. or for his work in l1gnt tank which enabled fifteen American soldiers to capture 700 Germans.
 Several hundred of these tanks led the counter-offensive from the Will lers-G -Gotteretes forest in July, which marked what appears to have been the turning point of the war.
 They broke through the enemy. lines, destroying his machine gun sec. tions, overcoming strong centers o1 resistance and spreading panic ana demoralization in the German ranks
 Wherever the infantry was preced ed by the "chars d'assaut," as the French call them, the advance wa! three miles day.
 It was these same French ligh tanks" which preceded the Ameri cans in their advance upon Juvign! and Terny on the Soissons plateau One of them, manned by lieutenant killed more than 200 Germans on tn, plateau.
 Documents that have come into tn, hands of the French staff show tha the Germans are greatly worried b. the light tanks and are studiousl, | coaching their men in methods of de fense against them.
 The light cars have the advantag of greater speed and of being nor easily handled than the heavier tanks l They require a crew of only two men Q driver and 8 gunner and carry one and one-half inch gun and a ma chine gun.

CURKHAS MAKE
 GREAT FIGHT
 AGAINST TURKS
Indian Hillmen Valuable Aid to British in Mesopo-
 tamia Campaign.

With the British Forces in Pales- tine, Sept. 25-(Correspondent of The Associated Press)-Silent death in the blackness of night, the fate of un- numbered, Turkish sentries surprised at their posts by patrols of Indian troops with the British army, has im- posed upon the Ottoman soldiers a wholesome respect for these dark skinned fighters who have replaced many white contingents sent to other fronts.
 The cleverness of the Gurkhas at stalking has had a terrifying effect upon the minds of the Turks, who are constantly finding their men dead at advanced stations, with nothing to be- tray the coming and going of the foe. The result has been a case of nerves" among the enemy, prompting constant alarms.
 In action the Indian troops are as keen as in anticipation of 1t. Their approach, even after the warning of a | barrage, is so swift as to take the Turks completely off their guard. Re- gently in broad daylight Gurkhas reached unobserved a point within | close range of the enemy trench. They rushed 1t and without firing a shot. killed l 5 Turks and brought back as many prisoners. Only one of the at tackers was wounded.
 i A subaltern in charge of a party | of the Indians had an extraordinary experience in this raid. He had stuck his bayonet into a Turk, but was una ble to disengage 1t, owing to the nar- rowness of the trench. Another Turk nearby began jabbing the but end of rife into the officers ribs I Suddenly the Englishman saw his as ] sailant's head leap from his shoulders Gurkha having dexterously decap. itated him with his kookhri, an in valuable weapon in close quarters.

ON GENTLE WAYS OF THE HUN.

The Hun has bombed hospitals, off
and on, during the war. Hitherto
he has covered it up by complaining
that the houses of mercy were placed
too close to the front, near military
centers which are perfectly fair game
and that any strafing of the helpless
was quite incidental and, therefore,
in a sense, regrettable. But his re-
cent attack in force with more than
20 airplanes upon a plainly marked
group of hospital buildings far be-
hind that objective-far surpasses all
his previous performances of fright
fulness.
The Hun no longer apologies. He
no longer pleads military necessity
as excuse for the slaughter OF the
helpless He glories in his guilt.
Fatuous people who still believe,
