Africa Second Largest.

Africa is the second largest of the
continental divisions of the earth, con-
tanning 1852 900 square miles. Eu-
rope contains 3,671, 004; Asia, 17,470.-
$50; North America, 7,116O00; South
America. $4,000. At the outbreak
of the present war, August, 1914, Eu-
ropean states had established protec-
torates over It. By agreement, Great
Britain controlled about 100000
square miles; France, 4,422, 600; Ger
many, 931 900: Belgium, 909, 900; Por-
tugal, 100000; Spain, $4,000, with ma
tive ownership ignored everywhere
These areas of control have undergone
material changes since the war began
and no doubt will be further changed
at Its conclusion. The different areas
have been held and governed as col
onies, the only politics being contest
among the nations to obtain and hold
as much as possible. 1t has been what
might be called in common phrase "a
grab game" on a large scale, with a
continent as the spoils-

Reference at a social session was
made to lingual deIterity when Con-
gresham John NJ. Evans of Montana,
said he was reminded Of little Incl
dent along that line.
Down at the cigar store one night
the regulars were talking about the
war and remarking how it gave one
something worse than face ache TO pro-
nounce the Russian names that appear
In the news.
Those Russian names are nothing"
remarked a man named johnson, with
an expansive smile. You Just ought
to hear what l stack up against In my
own home every day OF my life"
whats thatr' demanded one of the
regulars, amazedly. do you mean
that you have somebody In your family
who can put a kink In those Russian
syllable twistsr
"Well, should say that have" re-
Joined johnson. You should come
around some time and hear the baby
and the parrot when they get to talk
ing together"

EaYors EARLY Motherhood.

Doctor Bell writes in the Journal Of
Heredity, Washington, D. C., with the
statistical proof that young women I'M
questionably make better mothers than
those who have postponed the respon-
sibility of maternity until after thirty
years of age. He favors early mar
riages and youthful motherhood on the
ground that, contrary to popular opin-
ion, the offspring Of young mothers
have a finer vitality and are the peers
IL not the superiors Intellectually OF
children born of older parents,

Back of the torpedo is its sh.shaped body con-

space and buoyancy chamber. The tiny engine
is driven by compressed air. which is compressed
10 n high degree. and 1t rotates the propeers
whereby the projectile is carried through the
water The immersion or balance chamber pro-
yides the means of maintaining the depth at which
the torpedo shall travel through the water after
being launched. In the engine chamber there Is
also the device for keeping the projectile to Its
designated path during Its travel This Is
achieved by means of Il gyroscOpe. The buoyancy

TELL OF ENEMY'S APPROACH
Certain Birds and Animals Make the
Best Kind Of Sentinels That an
Army Can Employ.

A wounded soldier, asked what had
surprised him most In the battle zone,
told Of finding a robins nest In an
empty shell case.
AS rule birds are the finest sem
tinels In the animal kingdom. They
become aware Of approaching aircraft
long before man hears anything. Early
In the war parrots were kept Mt the
Eiffel tower as sentinels, but they
grew accustomed to the sound Of en-!
envy planes and were no longer of use.
Pheasants always grow restless and
chatter noisily If Zeppelins are APP
preaching, even when they are far
away. SO far that man can hear no
sound.
What IS perhaps stranger is the fact
that such ordinary creatures as pigs
should sight balloon when II Is COM
Ing over. The "blister'' makes no
sound, yet, should one appear against
the sky. miles from a farmyard. the
farmer will be made aware Of the fact
by the curious antics Of his pigs and
the clucking Of his hens.

the presence Of danger, and many n
pet shows uneaslness before raid.
Cats, too, show fear Of gunfire and
seem to know when danger threatens.
Dogs, birds and horses are very sem
sitive to sound. Watch the birds dur
ing daylight raid. listen to the dogs,
and visit the stable where the horse
restively stamps up and down. But
that all animals can accustom them
selves to sounds that cause fear is
proved by our cavalry horses. dogs
that accompany their masters into the
firing line, and the robins nest In the
empty shell case.

BOY

Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUT ENVOY TO PERsHING

The Boy Scouts of America have a
special envoy In France. On the
Fourth of July he took to General
Pershing and the American expedi-
tionary forces message from the
AZ. 900 scouts and scout officials In our
country.
This messenger Is DR.. Charles Mac
farland. The message from the Boy
Scouts Of America to Gen. John J.. Per-
shing and the Americal expeditionary
forces says in part:
"While we are compelled to remain
ut home. each one of us is definitely
engaged In one or more war work nc
tivities under the leadership of the
national government. Indeed we take
pride in being part Of Uncle Sans
team In these stirring times and are
anxious for the opportunity to make
any sacrifice In order that our cause
may prevail.
with you there are over 100000
who have, as scouts or scout officials,
discovered the practical value of scout
ing. They know how to take care Of
themselves and how to be helpful to
others when In need.
"Good cheer and hearty greetings is
the sincere wish of the scout brother
hood of America"

VICTIM OF GERMAN "KULTURr
twin 8. Cobb Writes Of Work Of Beast
Of Berlin, as He Saw II In
London Hospital.

In . London hospital I saw a little
girl who had been most terribly
MANNED In an air raid. am not going
to dwell on the state of this child.
When ] think Of her have not the
words to express the feelings that I
have. But one Of her hands was gone
at the wrist and the other hand was
badly shattered; SO she was just a
wan little brutaIIy abbreviated frag-
ment Of humanity. a living fraction,
most grievously afflicted.
Her wounds had ceased to pain her,
the head nurse told me before we en-
tered. and for the rest of the time she
was a good patient, one Of the best In
the ward.
She was lying. when saw her, with
her head proppcd upon n pillow that
was no winter than her face was, and
there was pitifuI wrath Of smile
on her poor little pinched common
place face. and to her breast, with the
bandaged stump of one arm and with
her remaining hand that was swathed
in clump of wrapping, she cuddled
up painted china doll which some
body had brought to her. and she was
singing to 1t.
The sight, I take IT,. would have been
very gracious in the eyes of his impe-
rial majesty of Prussia-except, Of
course, that the little girl still lived !;
that naturally would be q drawback to
his complete enjoyment Of the spec

SCOUTS LIBERTY LOAN WORK.

Each day the Importance of the work
that was done by the Boy Scouts of
America In the third Liberty loan cam
paign is augmented by the receipt of
final scoutmasters' reports.
The total number Of subscriptions
now reported is 5S0,540, amounting to
the sum Of SGT ,131, $50.
This is most gratifying showing
because while the amount In money
Is not so large as 1t was in the second
campaign. the number Of subscriptions
secured is largely in excess of those
secured for the second campaign.
This spells real service of the highest
degree because in the third campaign
as cleaners after the reapers," all
blanket corporation subscriptions were
eliminated and the boys confined them
selves to soliciting individuals, and the
number of 500 and 500 bonds sold is
a wonderful achievement.
