Shovelind Out Gas.

Weighing considerably more than
the atmosphere, the poisonous gases
employed in modern warfare always
seek lower levels. Thus the gas clouds
penetrate trenches and deep dugouts,
and in most cases 1t is a matter Of
many hours before they become suffi-
GENTLY diluted with the atmosphere to
permit of safe breathing. So the mat
ter resolves itself into a problem of
driving the poisonous fumes out Of
the trenches and underground shelters,
or at least thinning them out until
the air is again made safe.
For this reason American soldiers
now in France literally "shovel" poi
sonous fumes out of their trenches.
Attached to a shovel is a sort of can
vas scoop or "fapper" which permits
the men to heave the heavy gases over
the parapets and beat the fumes and
dissipate them in the surrounding
air.-Scientific American.

National PRAYER DAYS.

The first time the people Of the Unit
ed States were called upon to observe
a day of national prayer was May 8,
1898, by proclamation Of President
John Adams. A controversy had aris-
en- between this country and France
and all Americans were called upon
to pray for a continuation of peace.
In 1915, when the United States was
about to make war on Algiers, Pres
ident Madison proclaimed a day Of
prayer. During the Civil war. three
presidential proclamations were issued
appointing days of prayer for peace.
In 1855 the authorities called upon the
people to pray for Lincoln, and in 1881
President Arthur proclaimed day Of
prayer to mark the burial of President
Garfield. In the autumn of 1914 Pres
ident Wilson issued his proclamation
for prayers on "Peace Sundays"
