sUccUMB TO ARCTIC TENSION
Few Explorers in High Latitudes Sue
cessfuIIy Resist Peculiar Psyche
logical Effects.

In a paper dealing with the Univer
sfty of Oxford expedition to Siberia, of
which he was a member, III. U. Hall Of
the University of Pennsylvania refer
red to the striking psychological eff
fects of long daylight and long dark
ness in high ATTITUDES, the Scientific
American states.
AS to the former, apart from the
tendency to shorten sleeping hours in
order to make the greatest possible
use of the long day, there seems to be
kind of stimulation of the nervous
system, urging people to a feverish
and purposeless activity. This Is
especially noticed in newcomers, but
the natives are not exempt from 1t.
On the other hand, the coming Of the
long winter night is followed by kind
of reaction, though no. general depres-
sion Of vitality is apparent.
With the cessation Of work the
period of sociability begins, and the
circumstances favor a lapse Of self
control. This is the time when "Arctic
hysteria" is likely to show itself. Such,
for instance, is form of hysterical
seizure for which the fungus have
special name, in which the patient
sings improvisations Of his own which
are likely to contain absurd exagger-
ations or laughable glorificatieas or
himself.

RED MANS GOOD QUALITIES
As a Race, and individually, the
American Indian Has Proved
Capable of Many Things.

It Is very worth while to give the
indian square deal. He has proved
himself capable of great things. Two
presidents of Peru have been Indians.
One of Mexico's greatest presidents
was an Indian, and Bolivia has had
at least one great Indian president.
One expects them to excel In warfare.
The Araucanian Lantare was the great
est military chieftain South America
has produced except San Martin, and
we have had Gen. John A. Logan and
Gen. Eli s. Parker. Numbers of our
senators and congressman have been
proud of their Indian blood, and
Thomas G. Moffett, who knows the red
man well, says that "in the profession
leaders in business affairs, the
Indian, educated and Christianized, Is
taking his place; clever Indian law
yers are looking out for the interests
of their tribes; capable Indian physi-
clans are ministering to the needs of
their own people; earnest Indian
preachers and teachers are spreading
among the reservations the seed Of
the gospel message; aggressive Indian
agricultural experts are teaching the
younger generation how to improve
land and crops; the new Indian is
helping the forward movement activ-
tiles Of his country"
The white mans diseases and
vices have burdened the Indian, but
his schools. medicine, Christian NOR
ais and faith can, If he so wills 1t, lift
that burden and make his red brother
once again a free man.-Evengeline
Cole, in Worlds Outlook.

PUT MOON BACK IN THE SKY
AT Least, Turkish Official Thought He
Did, Which Amounted to the
Same Thing.

One of the stories given by Mrs. Hes
ter Donaldson Jenkins In Behind
Turkish Lattices," as typical of the
narratives by which women In Moham-
medan lands entertain themselves of
an evening, seems amusingly sugges-
tive Of certain complacent persons
in all Iands-who take an exalted view
of the significance of their own dis
cOveries and doings.
Once upon a day, once upon time,
Nasr Eddin Hodja called to his wife:
"Hanum Hanumi Come and see |;
the moon has fallen into the well !"
She ran, and, looking into the well,
sure enough, she saw the moon float
ing on the water.
"What shall we do" he asked. ito
get 1t out?"
1t was sad thing to lose the moon
down the well. She rubbed her head to
think better, and finally said:
II will bring you hook and rope,
and you can pull it out"
This she did; and the nodja let the
rope down into the water and pulled.
The hook, catching on stone, would
not come up easily, and so he pulled,
pulled, pulled.
Suddenly the stone gave way and
the hodja fell backward to the ground.
AS he looked UP to the sky, he saw the
moon in the heavens.
"Hanum Hanum u he cried. II have
put 1t back into it's place"
She, looking up agreed with him,
and they went peacefully into the
house.-Youth's Companion.

Frost as a Finish.

Frost gets lot of blame when It
Kills off certain fruits and withers GER
tain plants. Blackberries lose their
lusciousness, and mushrooms fear to
bloom, yet the housewife has much to
be thankful for to Father Frost.
He it is who causes the celery to
have that delightful crispness. No
epicure would eat celery before 1t has
been .sfrosted." And what dame with
any knowledge would think of cutting
a red cabbage for picking before 1t
had been touched with the cold nip Of
winter?
Many people refuse to eat Savoy
cabbages before they have been given
the sweetness of the frost, and pars-
nips have no flavor until they have
been similarly treated.

PENNSY FIELD SETS
NEW COAL RECORDS
Output for Week Ending August
"a, 1,306,O75 Tons.

The biggest coal production this
year, and consequently a coal produc-
ton record. has been made by the
Central Pennsylvania coal fields. the
Fuel Administration announced yes
terday afternoon.
The output for the. week ending
August ~ was l.3O6O75 tons. which
was 7.o07 tons more than the highest
previous week in the present coal
year.
The ClearfieId Bituminous Coal Cor
poration shows the progress being
made by the miners in that field by
the following figures: in May. the
percentage Of abSentees was zoos, in
June IT was 125 and in July 1t was
9-3; compared to this. the tonnage a
man a day rose from as in May to
Sc in June and Sc in July.
The district OF Norton. Va. also
made a fine showing for the week. the
district output being 202.0S5 tons net.
which Is 100 net tons more than in
any previous week OF the coal year.
The mines worked to 95.6 per cent
capacity.

WILL FOLLOW
HUNS ACROSS
MEUSE RIVER
German Retreat Outlined
as All-American Army
Is Collecting.

Ultimately the Americans and their
European allies are to follow the Ger
mans home via the valleys of the
MoselIe and the Meuse.
The seemingly Irresistible thrust Of
the Americans and French eastward
Of Chavigny-Juvigny front Is to be
continued on the high ground they
have won and will probably be the
first operation to turn the left Of the
German army. In this major opera
ton the Americans have the predom-
mating power in men. guns and mu-
nitions.
Germans ConJIrue Running.
The German army Is not able to
concentrate at any point on the 80
mile front on which they are inces-
sanity attacked so that II Is the
whole German array that IS being
driven back followed closely by sew
eral field armies which are urged on
by the impetus and spirit of un-
checked successes
These are the salient points of view
of the continuous battle which Is rag
ing from the north OF the Hinden-
burg line to the German troops which
are fighting today rear-guard actions
against the advance OF the Ameri-
cans ITOul CudNlSny anu JuNlSnN.
The deliberate Judgment OF staff Of
hcers yesterday was that nothing can
now prevent the rolling up Of the
German wing. The point T. made bv
these authorities who talk from the
daily record of positions and pur-
poses Of the enemy that neither the
crown prince nor Prince Rupprecht
has now the ability to throw any
great mass Of troops at any point
against the general advance towards
the Hindenburg line.
American situation BETTER.
According to the experts the
pOvement attracting most attention
is that OF the Americans east of
Chavigny and Juvigny. The con-
ditions of a forward thrust have
been radically changed here in
favor of the Americans.
with the French storming away
at the German center near the
Noyon center of action and the
British doggedly pushing on over
the E,ndenburg line and now de-
flectinE their main body southeast

tant gain by the Americans now

German center. That center IT is
pointed out has become a thin line
fighting rear guard actions intended
for delay while the armies that are
left to the German stan dig in
somewhere on the Meuse or back
of the Hindenburg line.
According to General March. who
had conference yesterday with Sem
ators at the Capitol. the time is
near at hand when all of the Amer
loan forces will be consolidated.
The brigades and other units which
have been operating for training
with the British are being with
drawn to fill up the all-American
corps which are to form the future
field armies and groups of armies"
to be eventually under the imme-
diate but not independent command
of General Pershing. General Foch.
II seems. will be the leader and
commander until peace.

WINTER INJURY OF APPLE TREES


usually detect certain signs of winter
injury some time before this. The bark
when cut into appears discolored ana

cambium zone, or the line which sep
arates the bark from the wood. SHOWS
more or less discoloration. Frequently
this appears as a fairly distinct brown
line, quite different from normal condi-
tons. In bad cases the wood itself may
show some discoloration this early In
the season. Bark injury may appear
only on one side of the limb or twlg.

Of healthy limbs and those affected by
winter injury, he can soon become 50
by cutting into a number of different
limbs and twies with pocket knife, 70,
every orchardiSt is familiar with the
appearance of normal bark and wood.
Where winter injury has occurred Il
is difficult at this time TO make an ac-
curate estimate of its seriousness an |
extent and there is little that can ha
done except to keep close watch on
the trees in order to remove the dead
and badly injured portions as soon as
they can be detected with certainty.
Trees which show undoubted effects ot
winter injury it would probably be best
not to prune at all inst now, or prune
them with considerable caution 10 re-
move only those portions which are
most seriously injured. This sugges-
ton is made to prevent the premature
removal of healthy wood which may Oe
needed for reshaping the tree later. On
the other hand it is of the greatest i'm
portance that all badly diseased or
dead wood be removed just as early in
the growing season as possible. This
can be detected much more readily AMI
the extent of the injury determined
with greater certainty during June anil
the latter part of May. than at present.

summer various wood rotting fungi viii
gain foothold therein and start de

portions of the trees, eventually de
stroying many which otherwise might
be saved.

the mob which wreaked vengeance on
the alleged alien enemy was not IN

the products of the Milwaukee and

Illinois went on to say that in al
most every instance where violence 's
