Atmospheric Pressure.

"When high altitude, say 1900
feet, has been reached" says L. J.
Wilson, airplane expert. writing IN
Southern newspaper. ''there is an
atmospheric pressure equal to about
Onenalf that at sea level. The effect
OF this lessening of pressure 10 mo-
uceable to one who for the first time
experiences 1t. At about 14.O00 feet
there were physical sensations 1t
once experienced by the writer, that
OF increased blood pressure and the
exertien following exercise being the
most apparent. The altitude. whether
attained in mountain climbing or b.
aiiplane, to certain extent produces
the same effect upon the organism.
the amount differing with various In
dividuals."

SHOWN TO CROWDS
How Germans Turn Their Cap
tives to Account.
Idea Is to DeIude the People Into
Thinking That Military Victories
Are Constantly Being Won BY
the kaiser's Soldiers.

Ivan s. Rossiter, Canadian soldier.
has lust been in to see me. For a
year he was German prisoner. When
the Germans caught him he was badly
wounded in the right hand. They
took him to hospital, where, without
the use of an anesthetic, they cut OF
one of his fingers and removed i've
pieces of bone from his mangled wrist.
They said that they had no anesthet-
les to spare for use on "schwein-
humid" and added that they were saw
ing their anesthetics for their own
wounded soldiers. ROssiter showed
me what is left Of his hand. 1t isn't
much. and what is left is OF no use,
except as q reminder Of that German
surgeon who operated without giving
an anesthetic.
While Rossiter was in Germany he
was moved about from one prison
camp to another until he and other
prisoners were exchanged for German
prisoners held by the allies. This
moving-about process was the most
interesting thing he described. He
was never allowed to stay In one place
more than few weeks. ! In the year
that he was there he was in nine DIFF.
ferent prison camps, located in vari-
GUS parts Of Germany. On each trip
the train that was transferring these
wandering prisoners stopped at every
station. German officers got out ev-
cry time the train stopped and told
people that the prisoners were all new
ones-just taken! .Rossiter says that
one excursion Of this kind began at
four o'clock in the morning and lnsted
until late at night. And always Mt ev-
cry station were q crowd Of people to
jeer at these new" prisoners, many of
whom were French and Belgians who
had been in captivity for two years.
1t got to be like a theatrical troupe
more boresome, for the prisoners were
never allowed to leave the trains or to
communicate with the crowds that
came to see them. Rossiter says that
one company Of British artillery
''takes the palm" for touring Germany
In the guise Of new" prisoners. They
were captured in the fall Of 1914 and
they are still playing to packed
houses.
In other words-to fool the people
is Germany's policy. Bismarck be-
lieved In that idea. He once said that
1t Is impossible to overestimate the
stupidity Of the human race. No
doubt the kaiser feels just as con-
temptuous about us. In his mind, men
are nothing but so many tons Of flesh
and bone to be used to push back
boundary lines.
This war is for the purpose Of pre-
venting human beings from becoming
as boneheaded as the German emper-
or would like them to be. It is a war
against the thick skull. On one side
are those great nations whose policy
Is to teach the people to think for
themselves. On the other IL the Ger
man autocracy, which says: Believe
what l tell you" Imagine trying In
this country to palm of trainload Of
veteran prisoners as new ones.-John
M. Siddall, editor Of the American
Magazine.

TYPIFIES SPIRIT OF FRANCE
Brave Thlrteen-Year-OId Girl, With
TWO Small Brothers, Doing All
the Work on Farm.

When the work in your war gar
den seems tedious and you straighten
your aching back and look longingly
toward the inviting shade of the trees
or toward the arm chair on the awning
covered porch; when you mutter to
yourself that 1t will not matter much
whether the weeds do choke the beet
patch-it may help you to finish your
task If you call to mind a story told
In my War Diary" by Mrs. Mary King
Waddington.
In village near ours, says the au-
thor, girl of thirteen Is running the
farm. At the beginning of the war it
was a thriving farm with man and
his wife, six sons and one daughter.
Then the blow fell, and all the men
In France were mobihzed; the father
and his two eldest boys went off at
Once-four hours after the decree of
mobilization was received in the viii
lage. The farmer had no time to put
his house in order, but left the farm
In the hands of his wife and the two
big boys. aged fifteen and sixteen. The
man and his two eldest sons are now
dead, the two next are in the army,
and the poor mother, wreck phys
ically and mentally, cries all day. The
girl and the two little boys do the
whole work Of the farm. The young
est, who Is only ten years old,
cannot accomplish much, but he does
manage to watch the cows and to
carry cans of milk or baskets of but
ter.
see the girl simetimes; she is per-
fectly well, never complains and never
asks for anything-except occasional
ly for warm petticoat, or hood to
keep her head and neck warm and dry
when she is working in the fields.
There are hundreds Of girls doing that
work all over France.-YOnth's Com
panion.

SHE WAS GRATEFUL, ANYWAY
And the Young lady's Error Was
Quite Natural, Under the
Circumstances.

Edward Barrett, state geologist, who
lives at Thirty-sixth and Meridian
streets, was on a Meridian Heights
car on his way home recently. At
Massachusetts avenue young couple
got on the car. They appeared to be
very attentive and devoted to each
other. There were only two vacant
seats on the car, one at the side of Mr..
Barrett, and the other on the opposite
side of the car. The young woman sat
down In one of the vacant seats and
the young man in the other, but too
far away to talk to the young woman.
The couple looked at each other with
longing eyes, as if they wished to sit
together. The car was rafting along
at noisy rate, which made 1t impos-
sible for one person to talk to another
any distance away. Mr.. Barrett mo-
toned with his fingers to the young
man, and pointed to the seat he was
occupying, and also to the seat the
young man was occupying, indicating
change of seats.
The young man gladly accepted the
proffered change of seats, and soon
the two were seated together and en-
joying each others talk. The car
stopped at the next crossing and Mr..
Barrett was surprised and amused to
hear the young woman murmur to the
young man, as both looked at Mr.. Bar.
rett with thanks in their eyes:
a -
dumb man to give you his seat"
And the car jostled on.-Indianapo.
