Purpose In Her Song.

Betty was spending the summer at Aunt Kate's, whe.e Mary, the eldest daughter, was her special fayorite. When Mary announced one day that she was going away for visit Betty was quite inconsolable, and as the time drew near for her departure she went about looking sad and dOleful. How ever, Just as the car drove up to the door to take Mary to the station Betty began to sing at the top of her voice. Mary turned laughingly to her ana said, q don't believe you feel so very bad after all, that am going away If you can sing like that" Said Betty.

U. s. SERGEANT's HAUL

Many capital stories continue to tind the light in connection with the American counter-attsck on the first day of the German offens- i've It now appears that when the Germans crossed the river the Americans refuseG to leave their positions, and soon the enemy was in great distress, the American ma chine-gunners and riflemen firing into the Germans backs and quickly compelling them to retire to the north of the bank. At several places the Germans were unable to cross, so terrible was the American artillery and machine-gun fire. A Grenadier regiment was shattered; ana one of its battalions had very few men left. All round lay German dead iR heaps, both banks Of the Marne being covered with bodies. As the Germans retired individual Americans went out to hunt them down. Many stories are tol& Of acts of bravery and initiative which are amazing. The story of Sergt. .J. F. Brown is g good specimen. He was wandering round looking for Germans, and with his officer at lacked 8 nest Of four mschine-guns and capture two. The officer was killed. Then, armed with an auto mat'c rifle, he seized a. third ma ehine-gun and, with corporal, s help. attacked the fourth. He shot 3 German private dead, and when the German officer there reached for his knife he killed him also. The fourth machine-gun thus fell in- to his hands. He then brought in some prisoners, maps, and souVen- (irs handed them over to 8 military policeman, and asked, as he says in (Ais report, for a receipt. He went (ac' again and, with a number Of 'o1Snions, hunted again. Soon In a4 found just over 100 Germans in -.l trench. in which there were many

NOT INVENTOR OF CAMERA
Honor That Has Been Given by Many to Distinguished Italian Seems to
 Be Undeserved.

Because in the year 1569 Glambat- tista de la Porta, in his book on natural magic" gives description of the camera obscura the invention of that instrument is ascribed generally to him. It Is claimed for him that he not only used a lens but an inclined mirror as well, thus anticipating by hundreds of years cameras Of reflex order. It Is not, however, to be imag- ined that his instrument was of the portable kind. Rather was It dark chamber In which an image of the out door-scene was thrown upon a whit ened wall, through the medium of a small hole on the opposite side.
 It is not at all unlikely that Porta was simply the recorder of phenom- enon known to others than himself, but not by them reduced to writing. There was one distinguished individual, at all events. who had observed the same optical effect, thus anticipating Porta by some years. It was about the beginning of the sixteenth century that Leonardo da Vinci said, "If you will place yourself in an dramatically closed room facing building, land- scape, or any other object directly lighted by the sun, and then cut hole In the shutter, an image of the object outside will be thrown upon any sur face facing the hole, and 1t will be re- versed Qnverted)."

LIIy's Rapid Growth.

The great water lily of the botanic gardens in London usually has a long season. In the spring 1t disappears beneath the water of It's tank. How the lily vanishes and Is re- produced is explained by Mir. North, the curator. The thick root stock gradually rots away and the fruits, which are about the size of baseball, remain at the bottom of the tank, They are fished up in. the spring and the seeds are extracted. A single seed, though no larger than pea,. will in four months produce q plant that will cover an area of 1000 feet. In Its na- tive district, the Amazon, the Victoria Regia is largely used by the natives as food. It grows on the lagoons and IS perennial.

CITY OF FILTH AND MISERY
Raudad Has Fallen Far From Proud Position She Is Said to Have oc-
 cupied in the Past.

Bagdad Is glorious only by reflection from the past. The houses of the pres ent town are crude constructions or brick, mostly from ancient ruins and adobe; living is primitive; sanitation Is non-exlstent; the streets or rather lanes, so narrow at times that one beast of burden fills the whole space
 from blank wall to blank wall, are sewers and rubbish heaps, and the res eryoir for water supply Is the Tigris river, which divides the city into two parts, just where all the filth of the city's lanes pours into it. In the bus mess sections, the ba2aars, the streets are roofed over with rude screens of palm logs covered with mats and reeds as a protection against the burning heat of the summer sun.
 The houses are provided with ser
 dabs, a sort of cellar, for household re-
 sort during daytime in the long sum-
 mer months, and when there Is no ser
 dab, with mats of thorny shrubs to hang before the windows and keep
 drenched with water. At that season
 the whole town sleeps and eats on the
 roof, and the main middle floor of tie house, Is practically unused. The heat of summer Is intense, and everything
 Is constructed to alleviate its discom- fort, consequently one suffers mlser- abiy during the brief rainy period from l the cold and damp at home and abroad. The death rate is enormOus.-Dr. John

 Just at that innocent General p t3iu's message arrived at the Fol de Vaux. It told the starved an exhausted poilus that. must not b b-ateu. France depended on thel and they must hold
 At that moment the assault va launched oy the Boches, a Frenc lieutenant leaped to the parapet i sUu view Of the remnant of tn re-imert and shouted the word which have won many hard fight since then:
