MEN KNOW AND TRUST HIM
Qualities Of General Foch That Have
Made Him Acclaimed as a
Great Leader.

Major Requin of the French gen.
eral staff draws character portrait
of General Foch in the New Re-
public:
"By the strength and uprightness
of his character, as well as by his
great intelligence and his military
science, Foch is the accomplished
type of chief-a chief modest and
simple, who shows himself only in
the serious bours, when responsible
ties crush others, and who then takes
them with resolution, an energy
and a serenity which astound every
one.
Essentially q definite person,
once in action he retains only posi-
tive facts upon which he will build
his plans. This is the reason for his
requiring great clearness in all re-
ports verbal or written; he never al
lows two ideas to be given him at the
same time. If some one commits
this error a gesture, well known to
his staff, which seems to push aside
any second thought, is invariably ac-
companied by the brief remark, 4
don't follow you any longer or
That is ancient history-go on
when it refers to facts without any
bearing on the decision to be taken.
During the execution, even more
than in the preparation, he admits
neither delay nor carelessness, and
his natural kindness stops as soon
as the country's interests are at
stake"

USE BY.PRoDucT METALS.

Selenium and tellurium are by
products in the electro-refning of
copper.
Tellurium is used as a component
part of certain high resistant alloys,
for coloring glass and porcelain and
in limited amount in medicine.
Sclenium, on account Of its con-
ductivity varying with light, has pc
culiar electrical properties. 1t is 500
times as good a conductor under the
influence of light as in the dark, and
this property has led to extensive ex-
perimenting to develop commercial
uses, such as lighting of gas. buoys at
sea, transmitting pictures by tele-
graph, for wireless telephony along
beam of light.
The principal use at present, how
ever, is in the glass industry and in
Photographic work. Raritan Cop
per works, Perth Amboy, N. j., is
one of the largest producers of these
metals.

DATE TO BE REMEMBERED
John Paul Jones, American Naval
Hero, Was Born In Scotland on
July 6, t747.

John Paul Jones, famous naval
officer in the American Revolution,
was born in Scotland July 6, 1747.
His name was originally John Paul,
the Jones being added subsequently
for an unknown reason. After being
given a number of commands, he
was then transferred to the Ranger,
upon which, it is said, the Stars and
Stripes was hoisted for the first time.
On the evening of September 23,
1779, Jones engaged the Scraps in
battle, and after three hours des-
perate fighting, during which the
Scraps and the Bon Homme Rich
ard were dashed together, the former
surrendered. For this victory, Jones
was presented by Louis XVI with a
gold-mounted sword and presented
with the Order of Military Merit.
Congress voted him gold medal
and passed commendatory resolu-
tons and proposed to create for him
the rank of rear admiral. Jones died
in 1899, and for long time his
burial place was unknown, being
finally discovered in the old St.
Louis cemetery, Paris, the remains
being removed to Annapolis, Nd.

MANY SWEET THINGS IN LIFE.

There are always so many beauti-
full things around us and before us
that we miss. If we would only open
our hearts and minds to them how
different our outlook upon life might
be.
Especially now with the weight Of
the world war pressing more and
more upon us, do we need to look for
all that is beautiful and good, and if
we would do so we would find our
selves less fretful of existence, less
intent upon our own ills and troubles
and we might be able to say with the
gypsy man in Lavengro;
'Iife is sweet, brother. i.
There's day and night, brother, both
sweet things; sun, moon and stars,
all sweet things; there's likewise
wind on the heath. Exchange.

LIGHT ON HISTORIC QUESTION
Testimony Seems to Prove Napoleon
Had Not Planned to March on
St. Petersburg.

Old correspondence has been
found in England which throws
much light on the much-mooted
question as to whether Napoleon
planned a march on st. Petersburg.
The correspondence reads: "When
Comte de Simeon met Napoleon in
Dresden after the emperor's return
from Russia in a sorry, one-horse
sledge-De Simeon was then prime
minister of the kingdom Of West
phalia, and came to inquire after his
own sovereign, King Jerome-Na-
poleon said to him: You probably
think l ought to have added to the
collection Of cudgels Of the Great
Frederick which 1 brought from
Potsdam by getting one of Peter the
Great, which are kept in st. Peters,
burg. But l never had the stomach
to undertake the invasion of that
mud peninsula, most of it morass
and water. Besides | had become
interested in the problems of Rus
sian civil administration; that kept
me in Moscow and kept me too long.
Perhaps if l had pushed on l would
not be here now"

THE NATIONAL HEALTH.

The most effective method of
keeping the community in healthy
condition is to maintain a relent-
less war on dirt and filth. The
germs of tuberculosis and other
scourges lurk in unsanitary spots.
These same germs perish when
brought into contact with sunlight,
fresh air and cleanliness. Anyone
who permits a potential source of
disease to exist, either indoors or
out-of-doors, is striking his city and
country in the back. A high state
of public health it at this time of the
most vital importance.-Cincinnati

German Secret Service Is Prepared
for Any Contingency in Handling
Affairs of War.

In his description of German war
ciphers in Everybody's, Melville
DAVIDSON Post gives an example of
the book cipher's use:
1.-TWO persons having a copy Of
dictionary of the same edition, make
up the message which they send by
the number of the page and the
number of the words counted down
the column of the page; for example,
the word ship might be 30-17.
Thirty being the number of the
page and II the number of the line
on which the word ship appears in
the book used as cipher.
"In the opening of the war, when
the English were treating the cap
tured' German officers as courteous
enemies, one of these devices, it is
said, was made use of for getting
information out of England with re-
spect to English destroyers, their
number and equipment. An officer
pretended to be interested in the
English game of golf. He endeavor-
ed to learn it and appeared to be ex-
ceedingly enthusiastic. The letters
which he was permitted to send out
to his wife in Dresden were filed
with details of the game, which per-
mitted an abundance of figures on
strokes and distance. Important in
formation with respect to the Eng
hsh admiralty was conveyed to the
German staff through the medium of
the apparently harmless letter of
this convert to the English game.
The book used for the ciphers was a
certain English edition of Shakes
peare of which there was a copy in
the Dresden public library"

rnE masNINoNaE.

The maskinonge is a species OF
pike known in works on natural his
tory by the Latin name "Esox estor.'
The fish is found in the Great Lakes
and the st. Lawrence river and in
several lakes and rivers adjacent
thereto. The name is variously
spelled - maskinonge, mascalonge,
muskelung, and abbreviated into
lunge or longe. AS one of the ear
ier forms of this word, masqui-
nongy, and the French-Canadian
masquinonge and maskinonge indi-
cate that the terminal &c" was once
sounded. According to one author
ity, all these various forms of the
word are variations of the Algonquin
word Mashkinonje, derived from
mash. "biG." and kinanin "f4h."

PORCELAIN CANDLES.

Porcelain candles are the latest
development in the problem of cheap

ounces of petroleum and furnished
with a wick, which burns quite like
a candle. They are much used in
