matter on the inside to set it off.
Two daggers or bayonets in use by
Bulgarian and Russian armies have been
contributed to the collection. The Rus
sian blade is a sort of grooved skewer
about eighteen inches long. 1t is thin,
almost flexible and sharp-pointed The
four grooves, so placed as to give ii a
square form, are SO placed to let the
blood from the victims wound run Off

The Bulgarian blade resembles the
appearance Of an ordinary dagger. 1t
is of ordinary size. so may be easily
attached to gun and carried about.
When used apart it serves the pur-
pose of an ordinary dagger.
Gas masks of several styles have
been sent in from many positions along
the western front. They comprise a
fairly complete assortment of this part

fashioned hood affairs. beneath which.
it seems. a soldier might very much
more easily be smothered to death than
"gassed." they range to light trans
parent face coverings made of a flexible
material that resembles isinglass.
Large tin cans, evidently for the pur-
pose of carrying the liquid with which
the mouth and nose pads of the mask
are constantly kept moist to counterfeit
the poisonous effect of the gas. and also
for the holding of the masks them
selves, complete this part of the ex-
hibit.

This is no figure of speech and no ex-
aggeration, but actual fact
One hundred tons of stable manure to

of Seabrook farms, on the intensively Gull

At $3.50 ton, spread. which is the cost
of the manure, this figures $3.50 an acre

Nearly a dozen French helmets of the
type worn today have been received at
the museum, as we'll as n couple of the
British type. y French military cap of
faded blue cloth, with a detachable
metal lining, was received from an Of
ficer in the sanitary corps at Nal-de-
Grace. 1t shows two perforations. both
of which were made by heavy bullets,
and either of which would have killed
The poilu who fought wearing it. This
particular cap is especially Interesting
because it is the style of protective
headgear used at the beginning of the
war, before the helmet was brought
into vogue. 1t seems that the change
was effected because the French SOL
diers objected to them very seriously
on account of their slight protective
power.
A very complete collection of mis-
siles and other projectiles. for the great
part extracted from wounds by operat-
ing surgeons at the field hospitals, show

Saved the Passengers.

An account received too late
for publication Sunday morning
Ct the recent wreck on the line
Of the Southern Pacific de Mex
leo, at Puerto station last week,
gives credit to the engineer of
the passenger train, Pedro Lin,
for his nerve, daring and
promptness of action.
When the approaching trains
deserted each other, Lin realized
the inevitable collision, but in
stead of seeking safety by leav-
ing his engine, as have others
before, Lin elected to stay with
his engine and save the lives Of
the passengers. He reversed
his engine Immediately, stood
with one hand on the throttle,
the other on the reverse lever,
waiting for the train to stop.
When asked by the reporter
why he remained with the en-
CINE, Lin said, with tears in his
eyes 'to save the lives of the
passengers" :
The passengers of the train
united in raising a liberal con-
tribution to present the heroic
engineer for his bravery.
The wreck embraced two To-
comotives, two coaches, two
cars of oranges, five cars of
coal and a carload of merchan-
disc. It is reported that the to-
tai loss to the company will foot
up about $75, 900.
The Judge of the first in
stance at Magdalena, has insti-
tuted an investigation to fix
and determine, if possible, the
responsibility for the accident.
The ten injured passengers
and one of the engineers are In
the municipal hospital in Noga-
les, Sonora, and the other en-
gineer is in his home.

Representative Dick Morgan,
of Oklahoma, recites this one:
Shortly after a certain Oklaho-
ma Indian reached camp he
passed second lieutenant with
a trifle more training than the
Indian-and far more regard
for saluting. In passing the In
dian did not raise his hand,
whereupon the second lieuten--
ant stopped him with the in
quiry: "Where did you come
from 2" 81 came from Oklaho-
ma. Where did you come
from?" the Indian replied.
'How long have you been
here" inquired the officer. 81
have been here about two
weeks. When did you come
DOWN." the Indian answered.
"Say, can't you see that I am an
officer?" the second lieutenant
inquired, showing temper. "Oh,
yes, anybody can see that by
the way you act" The Indian
looked directly at the officers
shoulders as he spoke. well,

shouted the lieutenant, "don't
you know that you are required
to salute every time you meet
me?" NO." meekly replied the
Indian. 81 didn't know every

Bits of Humor From Field and
Camp.

= A Nogales boy at one Of the
training camps writes that one
of the rules there is that the
student or candidate must sa-
lutte an officer even though that
dignitary has his back turned.
The young men therefore have
got in the habit of saluting
every pair of leather leggings
they see even though the leg
gings be laying under a bunk.
During the recent American
advance out Of !Chateau-Thierry
a Red Cross captain was look
ing about for suitable hospital
sites when he met an American
negro soldier marching along
toward Chateau-Thierry, follow
ing close behind a German ma
jor. The negro had transferred
his pack from his own back to
the back of the German officer,
and had also transferred the
German majors monocle to his
own eye. Thus equipped, the
black warrior was parading tri-
umphantly down the road. AS
he passed the Red Cross captain
he called out:
