FORTS HOUSE MACHINE GUNS
How the Greatly Dreaded ''Pht 5Oxes," First Devised by Ger. -..
 mans, Are Managed.

It used to be thought that the Bel gian forts of armOred steel and con crete. almost completely buried in the ground, would hold out against any artillery. But when the Germans brought up their great howitzers and hurled undreamed of quantities of high explosives on these forts, they broke and crumbled to pieces, writes A, RuSSel Bond in St. Nicholas, Then It was predicted that the day Of the fort was over. But the machine gun has developed new type of warfare. Instead of great forts mounting huge guns, we now have little machine-gun forts, and they are far more trouble some than the big fellows. To the Ger mans belong the credit for this type of fort, which consists of a small con crete structure, hidden from view as far as possible, but commanding some important part of the front. Pill boxes" the British call them, because the first ones they ran across were round in shape and something like a pill box in appearance.
 These pill boxes are just large enough to house a few men and couple of machine guns. COncealment is of the utmost importance; their safety depends upon it. Airplanes are particularly feared, because a machine gun emplacemPnt is recognized to be so important that a whole battery of artillery would be, turned upon a sus- pected pill box. It is claimed that some pill boxes are built with turrets that rise out of the ground. Normally. they are completely buried and GOV cred with turf so that no one would expect their existence. During the bOmbardment preceding charge they would remain hidden and only chance shot could put them out of business. When the charge. took place the elevating mechanism would be Op- erated, and out of the ground would rise the miniature fort, ready to halt the advancing soldiers.

TAKES PLACE OF REAL EYE
Invention of French OcuIist Invaluable to Soldiers Who Have Suffered
 Disagreement.

The high velOcities and high explO- siveness of the present-day prOjectiles often result in facial wounds of most horrible appearance, in the repair of which the surgeons meet with extreme difficulties. In particular, soldiers re- turn from the line of fire not merely with an eye shot out, but with the en- tire lid and eye socket destroyed, and the absence of these foundations has often made the insertion of an arti- ficial eye impossible.
 Until the present moment there has never existed any means for conceal ing this disagreement and restoring to the unfortunate victim the appearance of q normal man possessing two eyes. But quite recently a French OculiSt, Henri Einius, has made it possible to do this even when the eyelid Is entire ly missing.
 In it's essential features the apparatus consists of an artificial eye, equipped with a lid of any convenient plastic material-paraffin or mOlding paste. cOlOred to match the subjects cOm- pleXiOn. This eye is furnished also with !ashes. to give to 1t to the fullest extent the appearance of a natural eye. It derives its support from fne metal wires attached to eyeglass or spectacles, so adjusted that when the latter is placed upon the nose, the artificial eye falls accurately into It's cavity. The. eye may easily be sepa- rated from these attachments for cleaning,

BODY MAKES ITS OWN HEAT
Comes as Natural Result of Chemical
 Changes Which Are Constantly .. :.... Taking Place.

The heat of our bodies is the direct result of the chemical changes which take place in all the tissues and or gans of the body. Brubacker's Physi- Ology says that leach contraction of a muscle, each act of secretion, each ex- hibitiOn of nerve force is accompanied by the evolution of heat.
 '"The chemical changes" 1t cOntin- ues, "are for the most part of the na- ture of oxidatiOns, the union of oxygen with the elements, carbon and hydro gen, of the food principles either be- fore or after they have become con- stitnents of the tissues.
 '"The ultimate source Of the body heat is tire latent or, potential energy in the food principles which was ab- sOrbed from the suns energy and stored up during the growth of the vegetable wOrld.' When the food whether this be directly vegetable or vegetable that has been transformed into meat by being eaten by an anil mal-iS digested in our bodies it Is ''redUctd by oxidation to relatively simple bodies, such as urea, carbon diOXide and water, with liberation of a large portion of their contained en- ergy, which manffests itself as heat and mechanical motion"

PROBABLY SET HIM THINKING
Reply of War Department official to SIaeker'6 Request Might Almost
 Be Called Caustic. q

The following letter, addressed to a certain branch of the war department, and dated from town somewhere in the West, arrived in Washington a few days ago.: '5..: i

EneIIsh Hereditary Officer.

Conventional epithets have once more been used in the English news papers about the late Lord LOndeSbor- Ough's hereditary office as vice admi- ral of the Yorkshire coast. In reality there are many similar appointments in force elsewhere. The lord mayor of Bristol is vice admiral of the chan nel as fur down as Holmes and pos SesseS an ancient silver oar, which he Is entitled to have borne before him in virtue of his office. By a fiction of medieval~law all dead persons washed up by the tide were considered to be- long to the parish in which the Mer- chant Venturers stand, and births at sea were registered there. Before the organization of the royal navy had been fully developed 1t was convent ent to intrust the interests of the crown in regard to the duties of the admiralty to local gentlemen, like the DeniSOns of Scarborough, from which the earls of LOnsdale derive, of suffi- cient standing to be immune from sympathy with smuggling, which was the chief difficulty in early times. For handling maritime questions special qualifications were necessary, which the lord lieutenant, If he were seated inland might not possess.

LITTLE TERRIER IN TRENCH
This Canine Warrior Was Not a "SIacker," but Didn't Care to
 Go Over Top.

In those long lines of trenches in France and Flanders, where Britisher faces German, it is not all discomfort and misery. During quiet hours we play and joke. And we like nothing better than some little pet-a dog or a cat, perhaps-tO care for and look after.
 Cats are not uncommon in trench land, many of them having been born and bred there, says Boys Life. the boy scouts magazine. Unless kitten or cat is actually taken from the trenches, 1t makes that sector its home, and is fed and. cared for by the troops which come in to hold the line at that part. But a dog will follow his unit about and soon becomes the friend of all, and quite an important being in the regiment.
 Our little smOOth-haired fox terrier had taken up his quarters in a strong redOubt near the front. The little dog would quake with fear on hearing a German shell in the air, but after the explosion would run about as before, realizing that the danger was past. Poor little Warrior stayed in the trenches always. He would not follow the men out, but would settle down with the incoming unit. Many were the jokes made at his expense. "War- riOr, old boy" man would say, eff I was you I would get a transfer to some nOnfghting mob wOt never comes up, and keep out of 1t well behind" But Warrior wouldn't desert. Every time the battalion came up to hold the line there was the little terrier.

PntriotIe Mother cannN.

When. a few months ago, one of our troop ships was tOrpedOed there were, of course, many worried mothers. One of them received a cable message tell ing her of her sons rescue, and was naturally much relieved. But this cable was followed almost immediately by another asking for money by cable.
 The mother of this lad was rather puzzled by the message, as she could not tell if 1t was genuine or not. She did not wish to risk sending a com paratively large amount of money to an impOster, so she hit on the plan of sending a return message asking the sender of the first cable to cable the name of the family's two dogs names which would only be known to 6 member of the family.
 The answer with the right names came at once, and the son received the money. He has been bOasting of his mothers cleverness ever since.

English and American Men of LetterO Faithfully "Dolng Their Bit" to

 '"Rudysrd Kipling is doing his bit as director of propaganda in England. Phyllis BOttOme, author of The Dark Tower and other novels, Is now Mrs. Forbes Dennis, wife of an officer In the British army. A One-stOry adobe shack in Austin, Tex, the home of O.

 "Ill explain about her." beamed Edna.

TOOK TIME TO GREET BABY
President Wilson Not Too Busy to Welcome Youthful Caller at the
 White House.

President Wilson laid: aside grave war problems for brief half hour the other day to shake hands and chat with the youngest visitor ever received by him at the White house, says the Washington Times.

 'What fine little fellow" said the president as he reached for the tiny hand and shook 1t heartily.
 Baby GraysOn, although only ten weeks old, seemed to realize the honor of being the youngest visitor of Presi- dent Wilson. He didn't cry once. IJust smiled and cOOed, which Is considered very good form for baby on first visit. The baby had no official busi- ness with the president, just wanted to let him see. how cute he looked in his new dress, and how much he had grown. ,~'''' E,L

A Greencastle young woman teacher in the Peru (Ind.) high school few days ago had a vision of her job leav- ing because of violent protest lodged against her by patron. The teachers were at a meeting when the protest came up. The patron accused the teach CT of calling her boy "a scurvy ele- phant." The teacher was dumfounded when she heard the charge, and could not recall making any such remark. The corps of teachers went to work to attempt to unravel the mystery. Final ly 1t was solved.

German eeeteaIsts In the War.

Tn his residential address to the Vesey club, Dr. A Strahan, F. R. S., , stated that. the Germans began three years ago to make geOlOgists a part of their army organization, says the Sci entific American. A geological staff was created under the direction of professor of the University of Griefs- wald, and put to work on the western front, where It's advice was utilized in connection with the laying of field rail
 ways. the water supply of the army,
 the examination of marsh lands the
 finding of road metal, and protection
 against landslides due: to gunfire. It Is said. that much more extensive use
 was made of geological maps than has : thus far been disclosed, and that the Germans, with an eye to possible flu
 ture wars, have been making very
 thorough geological study of the occu- pied territory in neighbOring countries.

Wood: WIthntands ouaken..

The ability of wood construction to resist severe shocks and strains again was demonstrated in the earthquake that destroyed Hemet and San JacintO, Cal, a few days ago. Photographic re- ports from Hemet say that "the VOs7 burg hotel, a frame structure, with stood the shock, while its brick neigh bors fell fiat"
 Lumbermen point out that there is nothing peculiar in this. On account of the tOughness- of It's fiber and its resiliency, wood can stand many a twist and jar before it breaks or loses Its shape. A wooden building will "glve" without injury to itself and then resume Its original shape: At the worst, in case of an unusually severe earthquake shock, 1t might be twisted out. of shape a. little but would mot crumble or collapse. Brick buildings; on the other hand, have no elasticity. The brick and mortar of which they are constructed are brittle, when com pared with wood. ,'' :. ..sr>s~ ."
 The reports from California, the Ium- bermen declare. merely go to empha- size the advisability of building of wood in districts subject to earthquake shock.
