READ UP ON CIVIL WAR

One of the peculiar facts concern ing the entrance of America into the war was the stimulus given to read ing and discussion of the American Civil War. The perusal of Civil War histories in England has become al- most mania and more books treating of the great conflict have been sold in England in one year than in Amer ica during the last ten years.
 The reason is simple: England and the allies generally "want a line" on the American as a fighting man. The Spanish-American war failed as an adequate criterion because we had Spain so hopelessly outclassed from the beginning. But some of the great est battles in the history of the world were fought in the Civil War. The percentage of death losses in actual battle were higher than that of any other war ever fought. The verdict seems to be that Americans know good deal about the sanguinary busi- ness of lcilling.-Chicago Herald.

EYES FOR NAVY"
 FROM THE PUBLIC

Over 6OOO glasses have been receiv- ed by the navy in response to its call through the newspapers for binocu- lars, spyglasses, telescopes, sextants, and chronometers. There is urgent need for many more.
 Heretofore the United States has been obliged to rely on foreign coun- tries for most of its supply of such articles. These channels of supply be- ing closed, it has been necessary to ap- peal to the patriotism of private own CTS for "eyes for the navy"
 All articles should be tagged with name and address of the donor and sent to Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, care of Naval Observatory, Washington, D.. .C. Those not suitable will be return ed to senders. Careful records will be kept of accepted glasses so they may, if possible, be returned at the termination of the war.
 As the government under the law cannot accept services or material without payment, S1 will be paid for each article accepted.

227-POUNDER CRIES
 BECAUSE FEET HURT

It might seem unusual to see a per- son weighing 227 pounds walking along the main thoroughfare crying Justify because his shoes hurt his feet and because his papa could not carry him. But then if that more than plump person happened to be only 2 years old, onlookers probably would not think it strange that he cried.
 We'll, anyway. Raleigh Fox, fat and good-natured, and only years old, de- spite his 227 pounds, didn't care a snap who saw him shedding tears or heard him wailing as he walked up Washington avenue the other after noon just after Frisco passenger train No. 103 arrived here. His shoes hurt his feet and he was tired and he was too large for his father to carry him, so he just boo-hooed to his hearts con- tent until he could reach the hotel and pull his shoes off. And then he laugh ed and was in the best humor imag- nable.-New York Tribune.

WITHHOLDING EYES

All fishes which sleep do SO with their eyes open, as they are not pro vided with eyelids and cannot, there fore, close their eyes. From experi- ments made it was discovered that some fishes have no preference for the night time, but sleep equally well dur ing the day.
 They may be observed. resting quite mOtionless for periods, apparently in sleep, except that, having no eyeids, they are unable to close their eyes to exclude all influence from without.
 The hare also sleeps with its eyes open, for the simple reason that it's eyes are unprovided with eyelids. In- stead of these there is a thin mem brane which covers the eye when asleep. This membrane, as in the case of certain birds, folds like a curtain in the corner of the eye, and, by an instantaneous action, flies back when sight is required, leaving the eye im- mediately and fully open for the ex- ercise of sight.-Chicago Daily News.

HAND THAT IS GONE
 OPENS AND CLOSES

A soldier writes: Most people, think, know that when a person has lost a limb, that person still retains the "sense," or feeling, of the missing limb. As a case in point, l might mention that a friend of mine who had lost leg in the war, in an un- thinking moment took a step, on the missing leg and came to grief.
 I myself had the misfortune to lose my left hand on the Messines Ridge last June, and all the pain I have sui fered from the wound has been in the hand which I no longer possess. Now, the peculiar part of it all is tha5 on alternate days the fingers of the miss ing hand open and close; that is to say, yesterday they were closed; today they are open. Tomorrow they will be closed again. Can this be explain ed? This change takes place during sleep, and once or twice, on restless nights, I have actually felt the change taking place.
 I was left-handed, and during the attack l carried my revolver Tn the missing hand. When the fingers are closed they are exactly in the same position as if they were still grasping the revolver. That can understand, but why should they open on alternate days?
 The only explanation I can offer is that what remained of the hand after I was wounded was amputated exact ly "A hours later. Also, I was wound ed somewhere about o'clock in the and was operated on about the same time the following morning, and the opening and closing of the fin gers takes place about this time.- Manchester Guardian.

A copy of broadside forbidden in Germany has reached the committee on public information. It is a single sheet of foolscap size, printed on both sides, and bears a coarsely executed woodcut representing a soldier in arms, a workman in a blouse, and a woman showing rock off precipice, beneath which is seen the head and bust of the emperor, crowned and sceptered and mustached, looking up in terror at the fate impending. The last paragraph of the text is as fol- lows:
 Man of toll, awake from slumber, Recognize thy growing might. All the wheels will lose their motion Without thy strong arms devotion, Down with the war! Down with the
 government!
 Peace! Freedom! Breadl

The two documents below form 2 striking contrast. One is the officia proclamation of General Allenby, the British commander-in-chief in Pales. tine, upon the occasion of the British entry into Jerusalem; the other is the official proclamation issued by the headquarters of the German military government at Udine to the inhabi- tants remaining in the conquered Ital- ian territory.
 If fresh proof is needed of the diff ferent manner in which Great Britain and Germany wage war, it can be found in a perusal of the official proc lamation issued by the headquarters.
 Proclamation of General Allenby read to the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the steps of the citadel, in Arab ic, Hebrew, English, French, Italian, Greek and Russian:
 To the Inhabitants of Jerusalemn the

 The defeat inflicted upon the Turks by the troops under my command has resulted in the occupation of your city by my forces. I, therefore, here and now, proclaim it to bS under martial law, under which form of administra- tion it will remain so long as military considerations make it necessary. However, lest any of you should be by reason of your expert ence at the hands of the enemy who has retired, I hereby inform you that it is my desire that every person should pursue his lawful business without fear of interruption.
 Furthermore, since your city is re- garded with affection by three of the great religions of mankind, and it's soil has been consecrated by the prayers and pilgrimages of devout people of these three religions for many cen turies, therefore do I make it known unto you that every sacred building,

DEPT. OF INTERIOR ENCOUR-
 AGES POTASH PRODUCTION

Under a recently enacted law, Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the in terior, is issuing permits for the ex- ploration of lands containing potash. The permits are issued on tracts not to exceed 2560 acres. They run for two years. If potash of a commercial quality and quantity is found, the prospector is given patent on one fourth of the land covered by the per nit. The balance may be leased by the government.

The third attempt to rob the Buck eye bank in thd southern part of the state was made Wednesday night but the robbers after wrecking the build ing with dynamite, were chased away by citizens. One man named Keeling was wounded in the leg. Telephone lines were cut. The robbers left an auto and the car was found next morning by Sheriff Wilkey two miles west of Phoenix, where it has been deserted. There is no clue to the iden- tity of the robbers.

Two brothers were being entertain ed by a rich friend. As ill luck would have it, the talk drifted away from or dinary subjects.
 ''Do you like Omar Khayyam ?' thoughtlessly asked the host, trying to make conversation. The elder brother plunged heroically into the breach.
 Pretty well," he said, "but prefer Chianti."
 Nothing more was said on the sub ject until the brothers were on their way home.
