Associated Press Summary

Success has apparently crowned the offensive of the Italians in the mountains north of the Venetian plains. Launched Saturday, attacks on the Austrian lines have gained rug ged heights where the enemy was strongly entrenched. The fighting is still going on.
 Vienna admits 2 retirement to "pre- tared positions" which is the ex- pression used in official statements to mean that an enemy blow has gain- ed important ground. After three days ot struggling in the mountains the Italians are still hammering hard at the most powerful and threatening po- 'sitions of the enemy
 They have not only gained ground but have held it against desperate counter attacks by the Austro-Hun- garians, who were mown down by ar- tillery fire and completely checked by the Italian infantry.

Shall 1t Be "Lansleys?"

AS a tribute to the memory OF the
man who was first to discover, and
partly to apply. the rule In aero
states, to which the world is in
debted for the modern advance in avn
alton, it is proposed that the United
States government shall designate the
airplanes which it is to send to Eu-
ropean battlefields "Langleys." Great
er recognition than his work has re-
ce,ved should certainly be given to the
modest professor, who, theoretically,
at least, proved it possible to navigate
the air with heavier-than-air machines.
But, then, there are the WHghts. No
injustice should be done the men who
put Professor Langley's theory into
practice. Would not "Langwrights" be
better name?-Christian Science

IDEAL METAL FOR MOTORS
eeeret Of Material Which Has Made
German AirpIanes Superior to 9th
ers Has Been Discovered.

The United States government has
learned that the success of the Ger
man airplanes Is largely attributable
to what is known as kaiser zinn metal.
which Is used for the motors. A
piece of this metal was picked up by
British soldier who brought down a
German taube. Il interested him so
much that he subjected it to scien-
tiflc test and discovered that 1t con-
sisted of the following: Copper, 1.58
parts; tin, 92.98 parts, and anthony,
5.44 parts.
This alloy, which is somewhat akin
to Britannia metal, was discovered by
the Germans about so years ago. They
first used it as a substitute for silver
in the making Of all kinds of articles
for the dining table, never dreaming
that some day it would prove so serv-
iceable in military affairs. 1t is as
light as aluminium, has great tensile
strength and unusual resisting power.
A prominent American manufactures
of motors has succeeded In duplicating
this alloy perfectly, and in a short
time several thousand motors made of
1t will be ready for use. 1t is claimed
that 1t can be turned out at small ex'
pense.

MAY Have Solved Old Problem.

A German scientist claims to have
solved the problem of transmitting
photographs under the ocean by cable.
His process, If successful, represents
the solution of an old problem. Photo
graphs have long been transmissible
by telegraph by the use of selenium, a
metal whose electrical resistance va
ries with the intensity of the light
striking it. But a similar process for
cable work has never been perfected
hitherto, because of the extreme feeble
ness of the electric current that must
pass through thousands of miles of
wire without relay. The new process
is said to make use Of the selenium
principle and an elaborate system of
relays at each end.

RYE SEEDED AS COVER CROP
Planted In cornfelds Il Frequently
Can Be Utilized as Late Fall or
Spring Pasture.

Rye seeded as a cover crop In corn
fields can frequently be utilized for
late fall and early spring pasture, or
can be allowed to mature and be
hogged down with satisfactory results.
At the last cultivation Of corn, rye
can be seeded at the rate Of six to
eight pecks per acre. 1t will furnish
nutritious pasturage by fall in favor
able seasons. In the spring the crop
may be used for pasture or blowing
under, or hogs may be turned into the
field after the grain is ripe.
Six pigs averaging A pounds in
weight were fed on a quarter of an
acre Of rye for 40 days at the Ohio
experiment station. During this time
they made an average daily gain of
half pound. While hogging down the
rye the pigs were fed a fifth Of a
pound of tankage apiece daily.
Rye as general rule cannot COM
pete with corn for hogging down, &C.
cording to specialists at the expert
ment station. 1t may be substituted
economically for corn when 1t is diff
cult to harvest and thresh and when
Its price per pound is about the same
as that Of corn.
