Prisoners Of Duty.

The Turkish government is shortly
to effect an exchange of 1000 British
prisoners, but there will be still many
left over there, and naturally they will
need doctors. Under the Berne agree

that one British doctor and five OF
the medical personnel of the ranks

camps under the Berne agreement has

that conditions there may necessitatt

cycIIst In Spectacular Feat.

An army motorcyclist at one Of the
training camps recently averted the
death of young lieutenant by most
extraordinary feat of heroism, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Racing
at high speed across rough ground, he
drove his machine into runaway
parachute that was dragging the Off
Ger to his death. The latter had made
a practice parachute jump Of 1900
feet from an observation balloon. A
high wind had carried him consider
able distance, and In landing he be-
came hopelessly entangled In the cord
age. The parachute was caught by a
strong air current and blown at terrific
speed across the field, pulling its help
less prisoner with it. At the same In
slant the cyclist, passing along near
by motor road, saw the officers plight.
He swerved his machine into the field
and raced at top speed squarely into
the middle Of the bellied parachute.
The ropes fouled the machine and the
weight of the latter anchored the dere.
lict against further movement.

ThA kInc'a Why.

It was characteristic of the late kine
Edward VII. that he never showed toe
much or too little courtesy. but just
enough to maintain his reputation OF
being the most gracious gentleman Of
Europe. Some years ago, according te
the author Of THE Peoples King" his
majesty visited Aberdeen and knighted
the lord provost. At the luncheon
which followed the king sat next tc
Mrs. Lyon. the wife of the lord pro
vost, and noticed on the table the card
denoting her place.
II must alter this" the. king said
smiling on the lady.
With his pencil he effaced the word
Mn. and in its place substituted Lad,
and graciously handed the card to heI
newly made ladyship.

Young lovers try to excuse all the
faults of the loved one because they
are not in love with the individual, but
with love. Hence they may not choose
the partner with whom they Will End

man and woman is glad by middle age

War Gas Causes Appendicitis.

The various poison gases so much
in use at present at the European
battle zone are not only breathed, but
are swallowed. This might seem
strange at first, but the likelihood OF
swallowing some amount of gas Inn
ORIGINATING the atmosphere may readily
be seen. This might take place Incl.
dental to the intake of food and both
to normal and 'convulsive actions Of
the throat. Such swallowing Of toxic
vapors causes a variety Of digestional
disturbances, according to the amount
Of gas ingested.
According to an article In the Jour
nal de Medicine ct de Chirurgie
Pratque, appendicitis has been found
caused by swallowed gas, especially
when the gas contains chlorine. The
progress Of the malady was rapid, but
rather mild. and treatment was effec-

Boring Pole Holes.

The tiresome and time consuming
work Of digging holes for telegraph
and electric service poles is now at an
end, says Scientific American. At least,
there. has been evolved gasoline
driven earth-boring machine which
makes an average boring time per hole
of one and one-half to two minutes.
The equipment Is mounted on a horse
drawn truck and is operated by two
men. In ordinary soil 1t maintains an
average Of 100 holes per day, each
measuring five feet deep by "a inches
in diameter. The equipment consists
Of truck, which carries gasoline en-
CINE, driving mechanism and huge
auger which is slowly rotated and fed
downward. The augers are furnished
In sizes from to "a inches.

TURNING From Gold to Silver

The Yukon is turning from gold to
silver mining. While the value of the
former, or its purchasing power, has
decreased, that Of silver has been
doubled. There is great activity in two
silver bearing areas tributary to Daw-
son, the Mayo district on the upper
Stewart river and along. the Twelve.
mile creek. These fields are $50 miles
apart. Silver was discovered in these
areas years ago, but no work was eves
done.

pIsdaIn Western FInery.

In reply to an inquiry from an
American firm as to the demand here
for lace goods and embroideries, 1t
can be stated, reports the American
consul at Yokohama, that as the Japa-
nese women cling very tenaciously to
their style of dress and as no use is
made Of lace or embroideries either In
their dress or home furnishings, it is
improbable that any considerable mar
ket can be developed in Japan for
American-made lace goods or embroid-
cries. The demand would be limited
to the foreign residents here, who now
number about 5000, exclusive Of Chi
nese, and to such goods as are not be-
ing manufactured in Japan.
