For the first time since the days Of
Herod. jerusalem has . good supply Of
pure water. the British having provid-
ed II 10 the nrst year Of their occupa.
ton. The city has relied for It's supply
on rain water which flowed into under.
ground cisterns at almost every house.
These were found In bad repair and
most of them needed cleaning. The
water from near Solou0n's Pool was
led by the Romans through an aque-
duct, but this was not nearly enough.
and under the Turks It was divided to
the Mosque Of Omar and the city OF
Bethlehem. The British found some
springs and have raised the water
from them to the top Of a hill, whence
flows BY gravity through a new pipe
line into the city. Standpipes were
or the streets, and the ~cisterns
are filled on condition that they are
frst cleaned and repaired. Water con-
sumption has increased tenfold. chol-
era has been exterminated and the
health of the city Is pronounced won
derfully good.

German Chemists at Work.

The activity Of German chemists Is
shown in technical journals received
through neutral countries. One Of the
new products Is a safety detonator,
which is stated to be a cheap and eff.
fective substitute for illuminate of
mercury. The latter, besides being
costly, is very dangerous to handle and
in the caps is unstable, a little damp
ness causing it to attack the copper or
brass, forming a copper salt far more
explosive than the illuminate itself.
The new filling is a mixture Of potas-
SUM chlorate and anthony sulphide
neither explosive. Held against this
by a thin strip OF tin Is a varnish OF
gum lacquer containing ground red
phosphorus and a little disphemyla-
mine, and as the hammer strikes the
cap, ignition is produced by friction OF
tha PHOSPHORUS against the charge.

with our entry into the war, but had
its inception In 1914, when the WON.

formed. At first the association bus
led itself to obtain positions for women
In farm and garden work. After we
got into the al and the dangers Of q
food shortage threatened, the associ-
alton began work along the lines of the
department Of agriculture in England,
which encouraged the tilllng of small

out allotments to those who will till
them. The boy scouts and other bod

A new story of the Red Cross bag comes from Harvey D. Gibson, former Red Cross commissioner for Europe and president of the Liberty National bank of New York. He got the story from one of the workers in a hospital hut in Dijon, Everybody who has even seen a wounded soldier knows the bag of gaudy cretonne with the little Red Cross in the corner, in which each boy keeps the bit of snrapnel the doctor dug out of his knee,. the last letter from home, the picture of his girl. his toothbrush and all his most cherished possessions. One of the boys in the Dijon hospital had just been presented with his bag, pink-and-white one. He accepted it gracefully, then he began to laugh. Say" he declared, If some one had told me two years ago that I'd be a-goin' to war with wrist watch on one wrist and a bracelet'-he held out his identification disk-"on the other and a cretonre bag in my hand Say, I'd have pasted him one!"
