Germans Seize vindeggen's Copper
Cargo Before Sinking Her.
New York.-Two Norwegian steam.
ships, the Vindeggen and the Henrik
Lund, were sunk by a German sub
marine boat when about 200 miles east
of Cape Charles, Virginia. This brings
the total of vessels sunk by U-boats
since, they began their campaign in
these waters to 10. Their crews, to-
falling Sc men, were brought here by q
Danish steamship, which picked them
up at sea, after they had been sent
adrift in their small boats. Eighty
tons of copper ingots, part Of the cargo
of the Vindeggen, we're taken aboard
the U-boat before the steamship was
sunk by means of bombs. The vessel
was stopped by the submarine on June
and the crew was obliged to unload
the copper into the ships small boats
and transfer it to the U-boat. Then
the small boats were taken in tow
until the Henrik Lund was sighted, on
June 10.
The Henrik Lund was from Norfolk
for New York. Stopped by the sub.
marine, the crew of this ship was like
wise ordered into small boats and the
chip sent to the bottom by bombs.
Then the two crews were taken in
tow, and when the Danish vessel was
sighted, according to their story, the
submarine cut them adrift and sub
merged.
The destruction of these two ships
makes four flying the Norwegian flag
which have been victims of German
submarines in American waters.

A Paper Controller.

Great Britain now has its Paper
Controller, concerning whose identity
there has been q flutter of excitement
in the publishing and newspaper
worlds. There is, however, very much
less talk and less fuss about the ad-
vent Of this new official than there was
over the subject of the introduction
of food rationing, although the inno-
walton is capable of having much
greater effects on the life of the coun-
try than the mere reduction Of the
consumption Of certain food supplies.

X.Ray Rehectors.

Mica has been found an excellent
material for concentrating mirrors for
X-rays. Glass will not do, because,
smooth as it is, it is too rough for tho
extremely minute X-rays, which are
much smaller than light waves. Glass
diffuses the X-rays, much as a rough
surface diffuses light waves, but it was
found that the surface of mineral crys.
tails were of the requisite smoothness
for rejecting X-rays and of them mica
is the most adaptable, being readily
split into sheets.
