THE FINAL
 PARTITION OF POLAND

It was just 123 years ago today that the last king of Poland, Stanislas H., resigned his sovereignty, and on the same day, Nov. 25, 1795, a treaty was signed by which Polands independ- ence was wiped out and the remainder of the country was divided between Russia, Austria and Prussia.
 The division as made then-which followed two previous partitions effected a distribution of Polish terri tory as it existed up to the beginning of the war which has just ended.
 The last monarch of Poland which ia about to realize its dream of inde- pendence of over a century, was Count Augustus Poniatowski, who was elected to the throne in 1764 and assumed the name of StaniIas II. Un- der this unfortunate sovereign the | country became the theatre of a long and devastating war. In TYP Em- press Catherine of Russia, Joseph II. l of Austria and Frederick of Prussia 1 joined in the first partition df Poland. l In 1793 there was a second division | of Polish spells, and in 1795 the last vestige of free Poland was wiped out | IOT IIl6 dIClGElI Clly OL NIdCOM with a few miles of adjacent territory which was left as a monument to the i once great and warlike nation. In 1915 Cracow was formed into an in. dependent republic, and so remained until 1S46, when the Austrian ruler seized it and incorporated it in hi: empire.
 It is a curious fact that the three nations involved in the partition O Poland are the only ones which hav' been disrupted by the present war Their rulers are in exile, have abdi cated or have met violent death. Or the other hand Poland, which was no a united nation when the war brok

 Their arrest caused much resent ment among the ultra Radicals. They held a meeting, which was addressed by pr. Liebnecht and organized for the rescue. A squad reached head quarters on Thursday night and sue ceeded in obtaining the release of the men implicated on the pretext that they were held as political prisoners.

There need be no legless soldiers to

has devised a new type Of artificial

This remarkable triumph Of Ameri-
can inventive genius was described at
the New York Academy of Medicine
by Maj. P. B. Magnuson, medical re-
serve corps. member Of the surgeon
generals staff.
The artificial leg described by the
surgeon Is the invention Of Mai. Da-

in Pittsburgh.

jungle camoufiaae.

In the jungle huge python lies hid
den from its prey, waiting. 1t resem-
bles some twisted, fallen branch, and
Is unnOticed by the small furred crea-
lures which pass near. Suddenly the
python strikes, the captured creature
is crushed and disappears into the
throat of the hunter. Another in
stance is the tree toad. which clings
like some green bough to a tree, and
seems to be a knot or lump in the
wood. Through the entire day it will
hang there. while flies and butterflies
hover near without fear, only to be
snapped up by long, forked tongue,
the prey of the willy hunter.

Little Fat Makes Them Swell.

out In Germany. according to articles
In German medical weeklies, summar-
lied In the Journal Of the American
Medical Association. The physicians
call 1t war edema. It manifests itself
by swelling Of the lower extremities.
less often Of the upper. the face, and
the Serious cavities. Unless permanent
relief Is obtained 1t may last for
months.
Apparently all the German writer's
attribute 1t to the poor diet that now
prevails; excess OF carbohydrates and
deficiency Of fats. together with large
quantities of water. as the food is
taken mostly In the form Of soup.
The cure is rest in bed and the ad-
dition Of at least 100 grams of fat to
the daily ration.

Better Than a Fish Story.

This narrative comes from Nairobi,
In British East Africa. A hunter met
most magnificent lion almost face to
face. With terrible roar the beast
sI4ang at the man but missed his
aim by jumping two feet too high.
Disappointed, it dashed away into the
woods. The next day party set out
to track the beast down. At length
they came upon 1t In an open space in
the jungle. The beast was practicing
low jumps.

Burn Locomotive cinders.

There has recently been completed
at Frankfort-on-the-M Main, Germany,
what is said to be the first large rail-
road power station to be operated en-
tirely on locomotive cinders. Three
boilers are fired by automatic under
feed stokers and burn cinders, alone or
mixed with coal-dust. The cinders are
brought on a travelling electric crane
directly into the boiler room. Steam
produced with this fuel is employed to
drive two turbines that generate cur
rent for the light and power syetems
in the station.-Popular Mechanics

Growth Of Tower Of London.

A royal palace, consisting Of what
is now known as the white tower
appears to have been the beginning of
the Tower of London. It was COM
menced by Williams son, William Ru-
fus, who, in 1898. surrounded it with
walls and broad ditch. Several sue
ceeding kings made additions to 1t, and
King Edward III erected the church.
In 1925 the old white tower was rebuilt,
and in the reign of Charles II great
number of additions were made to it
The new buildings in the tower were
completed in 1850.

Taller Trees Attract Lightning.

Foresters say that the tall cotton

that in a great forest the taller trees
are much more liable than the lower
trees. Superstition is held to be re.
sponsible for the belief that tall trees
near house protect it from lightning,
for such thing as a lightning-proof
tree is said to exist only in old tales

LIFTING AUTO OUT OF RUT
When Machine MIred and Serious
Trouble Seemed Certain.

Every one, at some time or other,
tunate spectacle of a big autotruck
stuck In a rut-perhaps holding up
traffic. The next time you encounter
such a catastrophe recall the expert
ence described by Edwin L. Purkess In
Popular Mechanics Magazine, and you
will be able to offer valuable sugges-
tons at a moment when such sugges-
tons count for their full value. Mr..
Purkess writes:
"A heavy auto truck became mired
In deep rut on a country road, and
the driver, without assistance and
with only the auto jack available, was
forced to devise some means of again
getting his machine under way. The
method employed was so simple and
effective that 1t may be Of interest to
most motorists. Two saplings were set
across slabs of wood, laid on either
side of the truck wheel. Then the tail
board chain was rugged between the
saplings just inside of the wheel. A
tourniquet of rope was made with a
small stick. and fastened to the free
ends OF the saplings. The jack was set
under the Nm Of the wheel, and as the
latter was lifted the tourniquet and the
tailboard chains were drawn up to
bring the saplings close against the
wheel. BY this means the wheel was
gradually lifted out of the rut. and
extra slabs placed under 1t so that the
truck was then easily driven to solid
ground. Slabs were also piled under
the axle as precaution. In case the
wheel should slip back into the rut."
