States from his birthplace. Teinltz, AUS
tria. when he was eight years old.
When President Lincoln called for
volunteers Joseph Greenhut then a
young man. was the second volunteer to

He was discharged from the service
on account of the injury and only the
most careful nursing saved his arm
After II had sufficiently healed he again
enlisted with Company K. Eighty-second
Illinois Infantry. and II was with this
command that no distinguished himself
at Gettysburg. He also fought at
at Fredericksburg. Charlottesville and
in other important engagements. He
proved himself such capable soldier
that promotion TO Captain followed. He
served throughout the war.
After the war he was appointed
National Park Commissioner. 1t was
his information that resulted in the cor
rect placing of monuments to the fallen
dead Of the Grand Army OF the Republic
at Gettysburg. And he did not forget
his former comrades when he had
achieved success In the mercantile
world. He had lived In his early youth
In Peoria. H.. and knew many of his
fellow soldiers when they were BOYS.
Many OF them had been incapacitated by
the war.

Early History of Gas.

Gas for street lighting was first
used In Pail Mall, London, more than
a century ago. A few experimental
gas lights previously had been used in
Golden Lane, but it was not until
few years later that the new form Of
illumination was generally adopted in
London streets. The first attempt to
introduce the use Of gas in America
was in Baltimore in 1916. The project
was unsuccessful. In 1892 it was in
troduced in Boston, and in the follow
ing wear New York streets were light
ed by gas. The system did not prove
successful, however, until 1927. The
use of gas spread rapidly to other cities
in the United States and Canada
Rosin and oil were used for producing
gas in America in the early days of
the industry. Until half century ago
the price thousand feet ranged up to
81. the average being about $3.50.

Quaint Social Features Among Birds


Interesting stories have been told Of
the quaint social features of bird life.
The social intercourse of birds is a
subject which bird lovers study with
especial consideration. Man was not
the first, it appears, to devise tri-
bunal for the trial Of some one accused
of crime. If the OrnithOlOgiSts are cor
rect, he was at one time in medieval
history far behind the feathery tribes
in the system Of melting out justice
to wrongdOerS.
Rocks hold court when one of their
number is caught In theft or other
misdemeanOr The culprit sits within
Il circle of rocks who cry out against
him. He proclaims his innocence or
guilt as the case may be, by shrieking
loudly. If he is considered guilty by
the bird assembly, at signal the flock
pounces upon him and tears him to
pieces.
Justice is not done halfway by the
birds.
The rock court has been actually OBJ
served many times by bird students.

FORCED RIVER BELOW GROUND
Clever Piece of Work Which Must Be
Placed to the Credit Of English
Engineers.

A novel piece of engineering has
been completed in connection with the
building of an aviation field in Eng
land. The site selected was a pleas
ant piece Of countryside, consisting OF
a wooded park, bisected by little
stream about 30 feet wide and 2 feet
deep. This waterway is largely arti-
fetal in character. 1t was constructed
mainly along a branch of the River
Colne in 1858 and 1889, between Long
ford and Hampton Court palace, with
the object of supplying the palace with
ornamental fish and water ponds, and
it was used for this purpose up to the
present time. It is II miles long.
The decision to convert the park into
an aerOdrome made it necessary to Oil
vert this river, which, being raised
above the level of the ground where 1T
crosses the park, presented an Obsta-
Gle as we'll as a danger. Had the river
been running in natural bed below
the level of the ground. instead of in
an artificial channel above the ground
level, it could have been merely COW
cred over The need for putting 1t at
a lower level led to the decision to
carry it underground through the aero
drOme by means of q REINFORCED con-
crete inverted syphon, and this plan
having been approved of, detailed
scheme was got Out.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

TO ASCERTAIN OCEANS DEPTH
Scientist Has Suggested That Method
of Sound May Be Employed With
Good Results.

Three-Quarters of the earth'S sur
face is submerged and has not yet been
explored to any great degree, Alexan-
der Graham Bell writes in the Youths
Companion. The only way we have OF
reaching the mountains and valleys at
the bottom of the sea is by sending
down q sounding line and bringing up
a specimen of the bottom attached to
the sinker 1t is not easy, however, to
reach the bed of the sea through
mile or two miles Of water and 1t re-
quires several hours to take single
sounding. 1t is therefore expensive
both in time and in labor to ascertain
the depth of the ocean.
Why not send down sound instead
and listen to the echo from the bot
tom? Knowing the velocity of SOUND
in water Give times it's velocity in air.
and the time taken for the echo to
reach the ear, we should be able to as
certain the depth of the deepest part
of the ocean in few seconds.
Here is an idea that would certainly
appear to be worth trying. l have sug-
gested it several times, but | do not
know that it has ever been acted upon.
The experiment might reveal not only
the depth of the ocean, but something
of the nature of the bottom. A Hat
bottom should give q single sharp re-
turn, whereas an undulating bottom
should give multiple echo, such as
ME 9 among
hills. Many important conclusions
might be drawn from the facts so OBJ
tanned.

Cure for Dysentery

"While I was in Ashland, Kansas, a
gentleman overheard me speaking of
Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy" writes William Whitelaw OF
Des Moines, Iowa. ''He told me in de-
tail of what it had done for his family,
but more especially his daughter who
was lying at the point of death with a
violent attack of dysentery, and had
been given up by the family physician.
Some of his neighbors advised him to
give Chamberlain Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy, which he did, and fully be-
lieves that by doing so saved the life of
his child He stated that he had also
used this remedy himself with equally
gratifying results"

SmokeIess Powder.

The advantages of smokeless pow
der, besides it's virtue of high explo-
siveness, are twofold. 1t does not Gre
ate a smoke cloud that betrays the
location of the gun or gunners, and at
the same time the man behind the
gun is not confused for a second by
a pail of smoke that obscures the
range of vision in the direction Of the
enemy.

To Protect Birds From Cats.

The pole supporting martin house
ar any other bird house, and also the
trunk of a tree in which bird house
is placed. should be protected by cat
guard. writes George GLADDEN., in an
article on bird-house construction in
the Peoples Home Journal. Barbed
wire wound around the trunk of the
tree. but held away from it by cleats
about two inches thick, forms the best
e-uard. Another simple guard may be
made by tying around the support or
tree trunks number of stalks of rose
bushes or any other ranches with nat
ural thorns. -

A Bilious Attack

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform it's functions.
You become constipated. The food you
eat ferments in your stomach instead
of digesting. This inf1ames the stom-
ach and causes nausea, vomiting and a
terrible headache. Take three of
Chamberlain Tablets. This will tone
up your liver, clean out your stomach
and you will soon be as we'll as ever.
They only cost quarter.

Remnue Smell of Paint.

Place a pan full of lighted charcoal
in middle Of room and throw over it
two handfuls of juniper berries, shut
the windows and doors for day and
the smell will disappear.
The advantage Of this is that you
will not have to remove tapestry or
furniture, as the smoke of the juniper
berries is not injurious to them.

CALL FOR MEN TO MAN SHIPS

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 21.-Lads from
Tampa AID from south Florida towns
are going to sea, singly and in groups.
With knowledge that the nation needs
men for every branch of work aboard
ship, they are answering the call-not
only here, but throughout the country.
M. NJ. Taylor has enrolled more than
100 applicants, and sent almost half
that many away to training ships.
After two, three and even more en-
roll at the same time, indicating that
after talking it over the youths have
come to the opinion that the merchant
marine offers opportunity not only for
service end adventure, but to learn a
trade th2t will stand them in good
stead afterwards. For admittedly,
when peace comes, the army and the
navy will turn back its men by the
thousand, while on the other hand
the merchant marine will hold forth
golden opportunities for years to
c0me-particu'arlv to those Ameri-
cans who, gaining the requisite ex-
perience at sea, qualify themselves
through the government schools of
navigation for places as mate, master
or engineer of merchant ships.

history between two theories of life,
comparable to the present death Crap
pie in Europe.
At Marathon and Salamis the
strength, beauty and intelligence of
Greece rose superior to the Persian
civilization, which had become deca-
dent.
At Cannae, Rome, from whom we
inherited the laws and forms of our
modern government, put an end to
the dreams of Carthaginians.
At Tours the Mohammedan tide,
which threatened to wipe out Euro
pean civilization, was damned.
At Waterloo it was decided that the
future of the world was to be along
lines of true liberalism, not mercenary

MUSTARD CHS WORST
Most Horrible Invention Huns
Use in War.
1t Brings Tears and Causes Painful
Skin Diseases Among
Soldiers.

WaShingtOn.-The most dangerous
kind of poison gas used by the Ger
mans is mustard gas or dichloro-
diethysulphide.
Mustard gas has a distinctive but
not altogether unpleasant smell, more
like garlic than mustard. 1t is heavy
and oily as liquid. 1t boils at PIT de-
grees centigrade and thus has proper
ties whereby it can be distributed in
the form of spray on the impact of a
shell.
Mustard gas is powerful producer
of tears. After several hours the eyes
begin to swell and blister, causing in
tense pain. The nose discharges freely,
and severe coughing and vomiting en-
sue.
Direct contact with the spray causes
blistering of the skin, and the vapor
penetrateS through the clothing. Gas
masks. of course, do not protect
against this. The symptoms are similar
to pneumonia - high fever, heavy
breathing and often Stupor.
The damage done by mustard gas is
slow and insidious development. The
breaking down of the affected tissues
is slow, the height being reached from
five to ten days after the burn is re-
ceived. The painlessness is also
marked characteristic. Healing is
slow.
Mustard gas besides being used in
direct attack is also used for "neurra-
lization." For instance, where supplies
and ammunition are being brought up,
a few mustard gas shells will result
in dangerous confusion and delay. A
part of the infantry is ''neutraliZed'
by having food and ammunition cut
down If the shell hurts as well as
neutraliZes, so much the better.
The American mask to fight mustard
gas is of the box respirator type. The
hood is of rubber. Breathing Is
through the mouth, pincers shutting
off the nostrils. The gas-charged air
enters through the bottom Of the can
listers, where by means of neutralizing
chemicals, it is purified. From the top
of the canister the air is drawn into
the lungs.
There is a one-way shutter valve in
the hood through which the air comes
out This mask is designed to last ten
hours. For artillerymen the war de-
partment has made an oil suit which
encloses the soldier bodily.

IA STATES BAR GERMAN
Sixteen Others Likely to Stop Teach
ing the Language in Schools.

Fourteen states have abolished the
teaching of the German language in
schools, and the campaign to abolish
German is under good Roadway in six
teen other states, according to a re-
port made public yesterday by the
American defense society.
"Many cities in the sixteen states, y
the report says, have already throw
German out of their schools, but the
state itself has not taken decisive ac-
ton. The honor roll of states which
have abolished German entirely reads:
Alabama, California, Connecticut. Del
aware, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi,
Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and
West Virginia"
The cities which have thrown Ger
man out of the schools include New
York, Philadelphi Washington, Seat
tie, Louisville, Portland (Ore.), Jersey
City, Grand Rapids, Des Moines, Ia
coma, Wheeling, and many smaller
cities.
The states which now have under
consideration the abolishing of the
teaching of German are Arizona, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indi-
ana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island,
Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
