FLASH LIGHTS IN UNISON
Fireflies Seem to Have an Understand
Ing az to When to Begin
an Illumination.

Various observers testify to the fact
that myriads Of glow worms very oc-
casionally indulge in synchronous fash
ing with very beautiful effect. It is
thought by some that this phenom-
enon is accidental, although in this
light some cases would seem incred-
ible.
John v. Purcell Of Washingtons
D. c., records that in the town Of Co
tabato, island of Mindanao, P. l., few
years ago there were two trees about
the size of apple trees and perhaps a
hundred yards apart, and every eve
ming these were filled with fireflies
which flashed in unison, first one tree
lighting up and then the other. There
must have been several thousand in
sects in each tree. yet the synchronism
was so perfect that rarely or never
did single freely flash at the wrong
time.
ITO the best Of my recollection the
illumination period lasted about two
or three seconds and the dark periods
perhaps twice that long. I can posi=
lively vouch for the accuracy of the
foregoing, for 1t seemed so strange and
produced SO beautiful an effect that
thought 1t one of the most remarkable
things in the Philippines, and it made
a deep impression on me-"

War Brings Peace to New York.

war Brings PedCe 10 New YORK.
All Is peace in New York's toughest
district since the war. A year or so
ago any person who wandered through
the "Gas House" district, on First ave-
nue. from Seventeenth to Twenty-sec-
ond street, at night usually came away
minus his watch and roll and with a
battered countenance. Many were the
actual and alleged breaches of the
peace laid to the young manhood Of
this section Of the city. 1t ran the
gamut Of everything from riot to muir
der. Today all this is changed. Since
the "Gas House" gang has donned the
khaki there Is an air Of refinement and
culture In the district. Men neigh
bors meet on friendly terms and
clothes-line fights and feuds between
the women are only memories. Gone
is the old order Of things material.
Fights have given way to celebrations
in honor Of the lads from the district
now fighting In France. There are
III Of them from this section and

theirs, lifted their voices in pean Of

FIGHT ON HISTORIC GROUND
American Troops Operating In Country
for Many Centuries the Scene
Of Wars and Revolutions.

American soldiers during their brief
leisure moments are wandering
through ruins and over fields made ia
miliar to students of history by CEN
turtles of wars and revolutions. Some
Of them have already fought on the
scene of some Of Napoleon's operations
In the region Of the Marine.
Some are training over ground where
the Normans fought the French and
where the French fought the Span
iards. Later they will perhaps be
marching in line of battle over the
ountry where the French and the Ger
mans have fought again and again and
where they will help the French and
the British end the last of the wars to
devastate the valleys Of France for
centuries to come.
Nearly the entire history Of France
is pictured all over the areas occupied
by the Americans in ancient churches.
which, along with object lessons in his
tory, will give the attentive soldier an
enlarged appreciation of art and archi-
lecture.
Asked to what extent the men were
profiting from these opportunities, an
officer Of the American forces said that,
after getting located, the soldier takes
the first opportunity to explore the
neighborhood. To use one Of the Brit.
ish terms that are taking root among
the overseas men, they push OFF, into
all the hooks and corners. II their con,
ceptions of what they see are often
vague at first they soon get the habit
of observation which develops into
taste and, in goodly number Of cases,
becomes study.

TRUTH STRANGERS FICTION
Novel by William De Morgan Has
Counterpart in Real Life-Story
OF Enqlishman.

A little more than ten years ago az
Englishman, deep in the sixties, VOL
great renown by going to a hospital.
His illness, though severe, was Ordi-
nary enough. The use he made of his
convalescence distinguished him.
Propped up in bed, William De Nor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other, which was destined to carry or
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story Of an engl
neer returned to London after many
adventures. There mishap in til,
tube caused him to lose his memory
In the dazed state he lived a new life,
BY chance he met his former wife, fell
in love with her and married her again,
Strange as was De Morgan's tale
critics said only he could make 1t con.
vincing-London itself has duplicated
It from life.
John Arthur Lewis, returned sol.
der, was lately hailed into court for
absconding with money he had col.
lected for his employers.
His innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by a van and injured. Bereft of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was In
troduced by his mother to q young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept his past until
one night the German airmen dropped
bombs, and the shock Of the explosion
restored his memory. Then all came
back, even the uncompleted days
work of last August.
History here modiiies the ancient OBJ
servation as to truth and fiction. Truth
is not stranger than good writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead of the facts and later reality
corroborates him. Who knows not at
least one Enoch Arden? Tennyson
guessed them all.

Twice Cited for Bravery.

To have been cited by the French
for bravery twice since his arrival in
France in January is the record of
Professor Stephen 81. Bush Of the

part Of Professor Bush, who is work

Just What to Do.

Commander Capsicum, who looked
after the submarine defenses at little
Winkleville, had spent the morning
instructing the mine-sweeper's crew in
their duties.
"Now, you see," he said, lingering
his models, "you ram sub like this.
Do you want to ask me any ques-
tiOnsT
"Please, sir" piped some son Of a
sea cook, "what shall I do If I see a
submarine2'
The instructor gazed at the man
with sparks coming out Of his eyes,
and the rest of the class thought out
all the horrible stories Of the punish
ments Nero inflicted on those who
crossed him.

found his voice, "do, man, do! Why

TWO Ex-PREMlERs IN CABINET
Situation In British Politics That Has
Never Before Occurred 10 Among
the Possibilities.

Herbert FL. Asquith. former premier.
Is often mentioned as possible addi'
ton to the present cabinet. The Man
chester Guardian points out that If this
happens Lloyd George will have two
former prime ministers among his SUBJ
ordinates. There is no former instance
of this state of things In modern his
tory, and it is long time now since an
English government contained In a
secondary place even one former pre-
mier.
The classical case occurred about the
middle Of last century, and is furnish
ed by the game of see-saw which was
played by Lord John Russell and Lord
Palmerston. In the government OF
1862 Lord John Russell was prime
minister and Lord Palmerston foreign
secretary, and in the government OF
1S59-65 their two positions were ex-
actly reversed.
It was Lord John Russell's excep-
tional fate to be prime minister from
the age Of fifty.four till that Of sixty,
to be in and out Of subordinate Office,
under Lord Aberdeen and then under
Lord Palmerston, from sixty to seven
ty-three, and at that age to be prime
minister again.
II Lloyd George gets Mr.. Asquith as
well as Mr.. Balfour he will have all the
living former premiers except one, the
exception being Lord Rosebery, whose
period of office-15 mOnths-was so
short as to compare with the mete-
ORIG premiership Of the age of Can
ming.

HOW SOME CANADIANS
BUILT A CITY
Continued from page four)

he turned the worst looking quarter
of a block into one of the incest
groves and lawns in the town. He
gave the town pure drinking water
in place of the contaminated Uphold
stuff they had been drinking, but he
could not develop the system as fast
as the demands of the times called
for.
Each winter, during the social sea-
son the newspaper would publish
/ lot of polite stuff about the elab0r-
ate entertainments and pink teas CIV
en- in the homes ofIthe leading peO-
pile, and in the spying 60 thru the
streets and alleys and observe that
these same pec/le had the worst old
back yards and rottenest old toilets
in the town. The newspaper was
considered spineless, and leading
people had no fear that it would pub
lish pictures of the awful mess in
the rear of their popular abodes.
Women's clubs and aid societies and
the w. c. T. U. did great deal Of
work that was called "uplift," and
to "ameliorate" conditions, whatev-
er that means, but it never tackled
the rotten stuff in the rear of the
homes.
When the sewer system was built
1t served all the older parts of the
town and where it was settled up
thickest, but people farther out help
ed pay for it and have waited from
year to year for the system to grow
out to them. 1t is now proposed to
buy the water system and expend
$4,000 extending it so il will reach
as many homes as possible on the
outskirts.

Efficiency Can Be overdone.


It may be that the new and much
Wanted religion Of efficiency can be
carried too far. A little less Of 1t, at
times, might work no great harm. Not
that we would decry efficiency, mind
you. Doubtless 1t is fine thing. But
look what 1t has done to the Ger
mans.
The idea we are trying to get at Is
that If man follow always and eter-
nally the cast iron rules Of efficiency,
1t is apt to make him stale as any
other steady diet would do, or to
weary him as 1t would weary him to
be always prim and sedate and al
ways to wear stiff collars and tight
shoes.-Los Angeles Times.

A visit 70 headquarters on Bridge

She was making one of those de-

sweater yarn to all callers who ex-
pressed a desire to knit.
:. nile it is true that we may be
smissed from further activity in
Red Cross work it is also true we
must finish the duties that await
us in the work room now.
With worl dso torn and bleed
ing, it is difficult to restore to living
conditions those who have suffered
until reason seems at times to have
been deprived of. Our boys over
seas are not quite thru with their
work, neither have we reached the
point where We may quit with an
honorable discharge. Suppose we
try to clean the workroom by Xmas.
Late information says we have
until November 30 to make ready
those little blessings, officially
known as Christmas boxes for the
soldier boys, all completely out Of
job at present and in a hurry to sit
by the fire Dad built and tell stor-
lies of France, French and trench.
Now, listen please. There are a
number of good people somewhere
who are not working officially for
Uncle Sam. They may be with some
! of the Y. M. C. A. or X. C. or some
thing of the sort. These are not
provided for through the same chan
mel as the soldier boys. but there is
a provision made and a bulletin is
sued on the subject that may be
found at the post upon inquiry.
This method will be the surest way
