SAW WARS HORROR
English Lady Writes of Expert
ences in Roumania-
Veritable inferno When oil Fields

I had not thought that we could pcs-

but 1t was born on Boxing day, whem
the first whispers reached us OF the
destruction OF the oil fields. Frankly
we had, each and every one OF us, com
pletely forgotten the oil! A man. a

to tell his story, fortified by a nix

He had been one OF party VITA

help, and he told us wonderful az
counts Of the scenes which he had wit
messed. The first step had been tO
capture every single man and boy vino
knew anything about the petrol plans
and deport them bodily to Moldayia,
so that the Germans should find 60
skilled workmen to utilize to their
own profit. And then few pairs or
hands sufficed to crumble and lay In
ashes what many hundreds Of brains
had worked to build. First they broke
up all the machinery-the how OF the
happening is immaterial; the most
primitive and brutal weapons served
them best. Then they poured benzine
from the roofs Of factories down their
walls and set them allght, they dug
| trenches round the watts and started
blazing channels Of flame toward the
reservoirs. These blew up each In turn
and SCOT and flames made OF what had
been sunlight an eternal night where
the fire king went mad. Town by torn
saw the destroyers come to let hell

before them, turmoil of an enemy

that those few little men have SO ef-

That the whole of the Gilbert group

given over to the care of the American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions was decided at meeting of
the London missionary board, held

board had long been anxious for this
arrangement, which unifies the work
there, and offered to pay $4,000, with
which sum and the contributions of

Three Seasons In Year.

The Egyptian year was divided into
three seasons. These were Shalt, the
season of waters, being the time occu-
pied by the rising spread and recess
sion of the Nile; Pirut. the season of
vegetation; the Shonmu, the season of
harvest. These seasons are supposed
to have been arranged by the god Thot
Each season was divided into four
months and they were known in official
documents by numbers only. Thus we
have the first, second, third and fourth
months of Shalt, the months Of each Of
the other seasons being designated in
the same manner. Each month, how
ever, had a patron god and the people
ordinarily gave to it, in their daily In
tercourse, the name of its god. These
deity names of the months were tran
scribed into Greek, then into Arabic
and are now largely used by the Chris
tian Inhabitants of Egypt In prefer
ence to the Mussulman appellations.

blush Hushln Cruiser.

The idea that Great Britain is Sc
cretly constructing tremendous cruis-
ers, carrying batteries of 15-inch guns
and travelling faster than any ma
val ships now float, has become
almost an obsession with the Ger
man press. whose naval experts
recognize that these ships present
a problem that cannot be met with
submarines. The new British cruisers
are termed "hush hush" cruisers be-
cause Of the supposed secrecy with
which they are being constructed. Cap
tain Won Kuhlwatter, a famous Ger
man naval authority, believes them to
be $50 feet In length and probably
more effective naval units than any
yet constructed. No doubt the prime
cause Of interest in their building Is
the realization that a complete fleet Of
fast cruisers could annihilate whole
squadron Of slow and ponderous Ger
man dreadnaughts If the German fleet
ever again aspires to the open sea.
In the Jutland and other fights such
a unit of fast and heavily armed ships
might have cut off their retreat. That
England is constructing a number of
large battle cruisers of new type is
not denied by the admiralty.

EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long

Poisoning by food is no longer ex-

in an address to the American AssO-
citation for the ADV GnCement of Science,
DR.. e. o. Jordan showed that it is due
either to true bacterial toxins COMPARE
bic to those Of diPhtheria and tetanus
bacilli, or to infection with specific in
lection carried by the FOOT articl" The
best known example Of the form
ing microbes is the bacillus bOtulinus,
which has produced in the United
States % recorded cases OF poisoning
of which II were in California, while
Great Britain has reported no case.

GATUN LAKE, Is BIG AFFAIR
Reservoir, Built by Americans, Far
. outdoes Anything Else That the
World Has Known.

The government fisheries bureau Is
planting Gatun lake with fishes. The
first shipment for the purpose, made
by steamer the other day, consisted of
catfish, sunfish, carp and black bass,
all of lingering" size. The bass were
planted in the Chagres river, the prin-
cipal tributary of the lake.
A Pharaoh of the twelfth dynasty
constructed a reservoir (known today
as Lake Moeris) which covered 60
square miles. 1t was an artificial lake,
regarded in its day as one Of the
wonders of the world. and was de-
signed to regulate the flow of the Nile.
In its way it was the most remark
able engineering achievement of an
tiquity. But Gatun lake, on the line
of the Panama canal. beats 1t, being
is similar-namely, to take care Of
the food waters of the Chagres river
and prevent them from doing mis-
chief.
Gatun lake is the largest artificial
body Of water ever known in the
world. 1t is, in fact, the most impor-
tant feature of the transisthmian
canal, extending two-thirds of the dis
lance from the Caribbean sea to the
Pacific ocean.
1t occupies a basin that was dry
land before the canal was built; and
because the area covered by 1t is very
billy and geographically irregular,
1t stretches in a multiple of arms far
up into its marshy shores.
One reason why its shores are
marshy is that in its shadows there
develops with astonishing luxuriance
kind of grass which sends out run
ners in all directions. On this account
its banks are not easily accessible
even to small craft.
AS for fishes, 1t Is hoped that they
will multiply and furnish a worth
while food supply.

ARE ALMOST HUMAN
Monkeys in Their Native Wilds
Show Keen Wit.
Clever Manner In Which One of Them
Got the Best of Crocodile ls
Proof of Their Possession
Of intelligence.

The nature and character OF the
monkey are not changed by any train
ing that he may receive. All the little
tricks that may be taught him In cap
tivity will add little to what he is
accustomed TO practice in his wild
state. The chief difference to him is
that he has a different set of victims
to torment. Those who have had
chance to watch the rascals in their
native wilds and native wildness find
them up to the same mischievous
pranks they play in captivity.
Every little while our expedition
passed under trees occupied by troops
of monkeys, some Of them Of the large
kind that had given the explorers
much trouble on a former occasion.
One large tree in which they had es-
tablished their quarters stretched Its
branches over a stream twenty yards
or more.
While the leader Of the expedition
was watching the antics of the mon
keys, two crocodiles showed their
heads just underneath and remained
stationary with their ugly shouts
sticking up in the air. In various
countries this is a common dodge of
the crocodiles to entice the monkeys
within their reach, and 1t was ex-
pected by the witnesses Of this Incl
dent that one or more of the noisy
animals would fail victims to the
goggle-eyed monsters below, and II
| was with considerable curiosity that
the result was awaited.
AS soon as the blnck-loolling heads
popped up the monkeys became silent.
Presently one big fellow, evidently OF
authority in the monkey republic,
came down to reconnoiter. He re-
turned, and in few minutes came
back with a long, thin stick In his
hand and accompanied by about a
hundred OF his friends. They began
to chatter and to pelt their foes, but
the crocodiles took no notice. The
onlookers thought they seemed to give
q wink of satisfaction at seeing their
silly victims coming within their
reach.
Nearer and nearer they came. until
some of them were barely six feet
above the crocodiles, and the mer
watching were expecting every instant
to see one of them dragged under the
water. All of sudden the monkey
with the stick leaned over and drove
1t into the eye of the crocodile nearest
him. The wounded reptile sank like
lead and was quickly followed by It's
comrade.
There was no mistaking the howl Of
delight that greeted this stratagen
and its success. 1t was perfectly hu
man In its tone and was taken mp IN
vengeful glee by all the monkeys II
the neighborhood. The gravity of de
meanor with which the old fellow
committed this assault was laughablt
In the extreme. He went to worl
with all the caution of an old lawyer
and when he had inflicted the poke hi
hauled himself up with an alacrity
that showed he could form a very
good estimation of the danger tina
he ran.
