HAD GLIMPSE INTO FUTURE
Man In Seventeenth Century Saw Wondrous Possibilities in ths
 Development of the World.

One hundred and four years ago, at this season, the war of 1872 was prac- tically over. Peace was signed, at Ghent, on the evening of December 24, 181A; and then things moved fast, 0c- Cording to existing standards. On December 2G. one of the American sec retaries left Ghent for London, and on January 2, 1915, he left England for New York, where he arrived some time in February, and his news was i'm meGiateIy delivered to the citizens by printed handbnIs. Other cities. how ever, had to remain in ignorance dur ing the time it would take fast rider to urge his galloping horse over the roads between them and New York. The telegraph was not yet invented, although Joseph GIanviI, a seventeenth century preacher with an interest in the possibilities of invention, had told the Royal society that ito confer, at the distance of the Indies, by sympa- thetic conveyances. may be as usual to future times as to us in literary cor respondence" GlanviI. by the way, also told the Royal society that ito those who come after us, it may be as ordinary to buy q pair of wings to fly into the remotest regions, as now pair of boots to ride a journey"

RANK HIGH IN P0LITENEss
Beigians Unable to Forget CourtesIes Though Death in Appalling
 Form Was Imminent

The Belgians are the most polite people in the world. Yesterday seven correspondents travelled to Audenarde. We were informed that we might cross the Escaut and proceed in the dIrec- ton of Ghent. AS our two motor cars came over the ridge before entering the town they were spotted by an eagle-eyed observer In the German lines, and as we reached the entrance of the town and left from our cars, preparing to enter on foot a shell whizzed over our heads and exploded duly in q rain-s0aked field 50 yards beyond the road. Another followed about the same distance short. Then they came so fast that I lost count Gas shells they were. and we donned our masks and made for the cars.
 The lieutenant in charge of our party bowed to the oldest correspond ent and bade him enter the car. The latter, being Belgian, in turn lowing to his neighbor, mOtioned him into the car. He denurred, and then followed some AIphonse and Gaston moving pie lures until someone motfoned to me to enter the car. I did. Then they all piled in. And as we raced down the road two Thielt shells spitefuIly splut- tered along the muddy road.

Bees Move 15o. .0oo Tona.

The honey crop of the United States for 1918 having been estimated by the department of agriculture at about 25OOOO,OO0 pounds, the American Bo- tanist estimates that as the nectar of flowers does not become honey un- til worked over and partly evaporated the bees must move as much as 150,- 600 tons of material to produce this crop. exclusive of the honey eaten by themselves. Of this product, about one-haIf is from the nectar of white clover, with two other Ieguminous plants-alfalfa and sweet clover-as the next important sources.

NOT ABOVE CARRYING BUNDLE
Spirit Shown by New York Man May Explain Why He Has Become
 a Millionaire.

The following story, which suggests that some millionaires are no more 'stuck up" than the rest of us. is printed in Forbes Magazine: A\Broad- way (New York city) street car con- ductor was about to forbid a man car rying a huge roll of carpet to enter his car-jhe bundle was so huge that the conductor feared it would block the aisle. The bearer of the burden, how ever, smiled al him so amiably and de- posted his long parcel promptly at the far corner of the platform that the con duct0r hadn't the heart to remOn- strate. This was at Thirty-third street, opposite department store At FOrty-sec0nd street the passen ger shouldered his bundle and walked off lie carried it to one of New York's newest skyscrapers and Immediately proceeded to lay it upon the floor of one Of the reception rooms there.
 He was the owner of the skyscrap- er He was Irving T. Bush. million aire creator of the famous Bush ter minal a veritabIe city within the city of Brooklyn, owner of q large shipyard and of other projects.
 To friends who chaffed him, Mir. Bush explained that the rug caught his fancy while in the store, and he par, rularly wished to have 1t laid down before q reception thBs was to he held at the Buyers club Gin the Bush buiIGing) that day. But as the store could not make immediate deliv- cry, why, the only and the natural thing for him to do was to shoulder it himself. The spectacle of million atre Iugging along such burden in 8 street car and in the street did not strike this particular millionaire as in any way funny.

Amethysts for Mourning.

Amethysts will be much worn in this country during the postwar pe- riod as mourning jeweIry. Amethysts and jet are the most widely used mourning stones. The vogue of ame- thysts in the mourning was fixed after the Franco-Prussian war, when the gems became popular in France and Germany.
 An abundance of good amethysts are found in the mountain. region of the western United States. The best anne thysts come from Cambay, in India, from Ceylon, Persia and Siberia. There are also large amethyst mines in Uruguay. The war, which curtailed imports of all gers to the United States, gave American amethysts a wid- CT market than they ever had before.

NAPOLE0N's MAXlMs OF WAR
Rules Laid Down by Great Soldier Were Followed Almost Literally
 by General Foch.

Napoleon was a prolific war maxim maker. His maxims number more than a hundred. Many of them are as true today as when they were made. observes London Answers.
 ''In war;" said Napoleon. there fs never more than one favorable mo- ment. The great art Is to seize it and use 1t we'll"
 Foch seized the favorable moment" and In month not only saved the sit uation, but turned the tables on the enemy, He Concentrated his troops and acted with energy" as Napoleon laid down.
 Commonsense - the application of wisdom to circumstances Foch's maxim, as it was Napoleon's. Napo- leon has written: "PIans may be mod flied ad fnfinftum according to cfrcum- stances, the genius of the general. the character of the troops, and the fea- lures of the country"
 Napoleon insisted upon the study of past campaigns. "The science of strategy" he said, '1s to be acquired by experience and studying the cam paigns of all great captains"
 Foch has been q lifelong student of military history. Tn the spring he was acting mp to Napoleon's dictum-''the measure which is not profoundly meditated In all its details produces no result" When Foch was ready he dared at the right moment" For 20 years past Foch has been "profoundlv meditating" the details of the strategy which has given him such signal sue cess.

Gas Eran Wheat Straw.

One of the scientists of the Univer- sity of Saskatchewan, who has been experimenting for some time with the manufa cture of gas from wheat straw. has been able. by gas bag attach ment of 300 cubic feet capacity, to run his motorcar with perfectly satisfac- tory results. It Is estimated. says the Saskatchewan Herald, that a ton of straw will generate 11,00O to 12,OOO cubic feet of gas and that 300 cubic feet of gas is equal to a gallon of gasoline, so that with this hitherto waste product on his hands the farmer will be able to run his car.

Forest Hospitality.

One morning our company was drill ing, when a Roche plane flew over. We usually go into the woods when they are first sighted, but this time the captain said: "Everybody down and lie still" Then he added: "No use making a break for the woods. He'll see where we go and probably bomb us tonight"
