The scene is eloquent of a thousand

Improved OiI-Burner.

A new 0il-burner for the kitchen
stove, announced from Cairo, Egypt, Is
attachable by a special flange to the
crate door, and it neither requires
alteration of the solid fuel stove nor
prevents the.use of solid fuel. The
nozzle projects about an inch into the
crate, the oil tank being mounted on
a suitable rack outside the stove. A
small fire heats the fuel Gil to about
$50 degrees Fahrenheit, and as the oil
passes from the nozzle, a Jet of com
pressed air or steam converts it into a
spray that burns with Il continuous
smokeless and 0dOrless flame. In Cal

piled in pipes to houses.

WROTE OF LIFE AT HARVARD
Author Now Forgotten Conceded to
Have Been the First to Depict s..
Undergraduate Days.

Harvard graduates, the world over.
have long believed that the earliest
pictorial record of undergraduate life
at the Oldest college in the United
States was made when L. G. Atwood
drew his pictures Of college life for
the first volume Of the Harvard Lam
poon. The Lampoon was the fore
runner of humorous journalism to
America Atwood became famous
humOrist :; and his Manners & Gus
toms of We Harvard Studente" was es-
tablished as classic The discovery
of a time-stained book in anew Eng
land farmhouse reveals an earlier
craftsman, whose college Scenes
antedate "Ye Harvard Studente" by
about a quarter Of century, but were
soon generally forgotten. OF n. Hay
ward, the artist, no record remains
but the bare fact that he was then in
college The discoverer, however, had
a rare afternoon when he found the
volume in dusty chest, where it had
been packed away with lot of con-
temporary textbooks and an old Har-
ward Christian Science Mon
itor.

COMBAT WITH THEIR HEADS
Giraffes Have Distinctly Peculiar
Method of Settling Differences That
Arise Among Themselves.

While the giraffe can hardly be
classed among the fierce duelists OF
the animal world, yet animals of this
species are known to have their COM
bats like their more ferocious fellows.
The long-necked beast has an original
and curious method Of fighting. 1t has
neither claws nor beak nor sharp teeth
with which to defend or attack, so
when 1t Is out of temper with one Of
its kind it does not fly In the face Of
Providence by trying to dsembowel its
adversary, as rhinoceros might, or
tear it, as tiger would. On the con-
trary, the giraffe, knowing that 1t has
been provided by nature with long
and pliable neck, terminating in very
solid head, uses the upper part of
itself like a fail, and, swinging it's
neck around and around in q way that
does immense credit to its OrganiZa-
ton, brings Its head down at each
swing with thump on its antagonist.
The other combatant uses precisely
the same tactics, and the two animals,
planting themselves as firmly as pos
sible by stretching out on all four legs
to the utmost, stand opposite to each
other hammering away with their
heads until one or the other has had
enough.
The head of the giraffe Is furnished
with two stumpy. hOrnlike processes,
so that the animals when at this ham,
mer-and-tongs mode of warfare, re-
mind the spectator somewhat of two
ancient warriors humping each other
with the spiked balls they used to
carry for that purpose at the end Of
a chain.-New York Herald.

natural French cruelty exerted in de-
mands not justified by the terms OF

General Won Winterfeldts resigna-
ton from the Armistice Commission

many persons who do not realize the
possible cons/luences. Until late
this evening the Foreign Office har
received no news as to whether van
Wniterfelda had consented to with
draw his resignation as Chairman OF
tho German commission. Erzberger
begged him to remain, and the Govern
ment has also asked him TO do so, II
being asserted that his tactful and
energetic work has been greatly
valued.

view, deplores that Germany shows
too little backbone in the Spa negoti
