HOW BIG GUN WAS FOUND
French Artillery Officers Made Care

Of the Matter Was Easy.

Careful measurements Of two holes

through two awnings, In q Paris fac.
tory enabled French artillery officers
to locate the great German long-range
gun by a feat Of mathematics. The
two awnings were several feet apart
and the relation Of one to the other
gave perfect data on the course which
the shell had taken as It approached
the earth. After the aperturesJ had
been measured to the onesthousandth
part Of an inch and theadirection Of
the shells fall exactly established. the
earlier career Of the shell became Q

able to follow back the course Of the
shell to the mouth of the cannon In
the forest Of St. Gobain, after which
It was speedily demolished by French
artillery.

BUY WATCHES TO GET GOLD
ingenious Scheme Of Central Empires
TO Increase Their Supply Of the
Precious Metal.

II Is an oddly of the world war that
the jewelry trade is flourishing. A Sc
cret article in the Revue Suisse d'Ex.
portation Of Geneva gives an interest
Ing view of this situation and also sug.
gests a method by which the central
empires undoubtedly have increased
their gold supply-namely, the impor-
tation Of gold jewelry to be melted in
to bullion.
In the course of the crisis provoked
by the European war we pass from one
surprise to another, says the Revue.
The belligerent countries, one after an
other, have imposed measures forbid
ding the Importation of luxuries and
watches. In spite of all these difficult
ties the orders, particularly for gold
watches Of medium price, are received
In increasing numbers by our watch
makers, while those for watches Of
high and low prices are few.
The jewelry trade has passed
through a prosperous period, which is
not yet over. In fact, 1t is at its
height. Everything went well 80 long
as there were no abuses, but the time
came when jewelry, especially heavy
gold chains without much workman
ship, began to be exported to the ORR
ent. High prices were paid for these
articles. Gold (fine) in Switzerland is
valued at about $720 a kilo (2.2
pounds) and in the Orient, or at
Vienna, 1t is quoted at $2.4OO per kilo.
There Is, therefore, q considerable
margin which allows a large profit to
our manufacturers and their agents,
also to foreign merchants. These ar
ticles, however, are not all destined
for Turkey. A great many Of them
find their way into the central en-
pires.
When steps were taken to check this
trade numerous orders for watches
with cheap movements in heavy gold
cases came flowing into the watch
making centers. These orders were
destined for Constantinople. The
scheme was perfectly apparent, and
government authorities took prompt
measures to put stop to the proceed
ing. IA

PRETTY Indoor Plant,

Perhaps nothing gives such bright
ness and good cheer to q room-neXt
to sunny windOw-as a pot of wan
dering jew hanging in the window.
The trailing stems with their tiny, al
most transparent leaves, are exquisite
ly lovely against a sunny background,
and wandering jew costs almost moth
ing, demands almost no care at all, and
will grow anywhere, If 1t has little
sunlight.
1t will grow in water as well as in
dirt, and astonishing is the speed 1t
makes in growing; long, trailing stems
will begin to droOp over the side of the
pot In no time, and before you know
1t there is fairly an umbrella Of green
falling from your hanging recepta-
Gle
1t may be grown in glass bowl Of
water hung from a hook, high in the
window; or the bowl may be set on a
bracket where the sunlight will fall
across it; or the plant may be grown
in soil, in an ordinary flower pot on
the window ledge or on a small plant
stand set in the sunshine.
Every home should have a pot Of
wandering jew growing luxuriantly
during the months Of autumn, win
ter and spring.
