Charged in Early Dawn
All this battle happened in kind of

light of dawn over the trenches and

fair visibility for 800 yards ahead. as
tested by Australian staff officers. In
this half light fogged over certain lines
by smoke wreaths the Australians made
their way, shouting for the enemy to
surrender
In nose cases the Germans gave no
trouble, but held their hands up meekly,
came out of their trenches and dugouts,
huddling together without their weapons
and showing no sign of fight. They had
been utterly surprised and caught so
quickly that the Australians were

the heads of the infantry and swooped
low to drop bombs on the German po-

GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYS
Experiments Have Shown These Pro-
duce the Same Effect as the
Light of the Sun.

It is well known that glass exposed
for long to sunlight acquires a violet
tint. In very old houses the windows
facing south are often distinctly vio-
let. Experiments recently made in the
laboratories Of the General Electric
company at Schenectady with X-rays
prove that these can be used to dye
glass in many colors, principally an
amethystine violet and an amber yell
low, but also green and bright yellow.
These colors, according to Mr.. Ro-
senthal, who conducted the expert
ments, are due to notifications of the
physical structure Of the glass and not
to chemical alterations. The color can
be made to penetrate to any desired
depth, from a mere surface tint to
complete coloration of the entire sub
stance. And the same method can be
applied to tinting porcelain, enamel
and precious stones.
An interesting and important fact
about this glass that has been colored
by long exposure to X-rays is that 1t
becomes impervious to the radiations
that have transformed 1t. Thus it can
be used as a protection against the
glare of the sun or the snow and
against the X-rays themselves.

was necessary to throw out the entire

Increased annoyance the ink spread all

struck him that it might be possible to
use the paper for absorbing ink in

After some successful experimenting
he was able to dispose Of his entire

From that time on blotting paper
came into general use. At first 1t was
always pink in color, red rags being
used. Red was q fast color and diff

useless in manufacturing writing pa

ness, red or pink was as good color
as any other, and thus provided a
means of utilizing otherwise wasted

Men can stand at attention without
