SAVED TWO FAMOUS PICTURES
Old Masters Taken by British Officer
From the Ruins of Ypres
Cathedral.

The king Of the Belgians will shortly
have returned to him two famous pic
lures which were rescued, four years
ago, from Ypres cathedral. 1t ap-
pears that during the bombardment of
Ypres in 1915 a young British artil-
lery officer noticed inside the cathe-
dra1, which was being heavily shelled,
that the only things not shattered by
German fire were two large Flemish
masters, dated 1000, hanging some 20
feet high On the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-
scented itself. The officer called two
private soldiers to help him, and with
the aid of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks, the pictures
were lowered to the ground. The Of
ficer, Lieutenant Daniels, r. A.. then
cut the pictures out of their frames
and put them in a large sack, which he
used for time as a bed. In the end
he took them to London, where, with
the approval Of the Belgian minister,
they have been placed on exhibition
prior to being returned to King Albert
at Brussels. s...{z.- 4.*. -

Sustained Nervous Energy
Always Demands an Outlet

1t has been discovered that cases
Of people who have been exposed to
the fear of being torpedOed are suf-
fering from symptoms suggestive, of
shell shock. Doctor Clunet, in a COM
munication to the Neurological society
of Paris, has described the mental
effects observed when on board a ship
which was torpedoed. After the first
excitement following the attack it was
observed that several passengers dis
charged guns into the air or into the
sea. In other words, the sustained
nervous energy found relief in letting
loose the immense energy concentrated
In explosives. Similarly, it was we'll
known at the front that a long day of
waiting in the trenches was productive
of more cases of shell shock than a
day of active engagement with the en-
envy. Next there were few cases of
suicide among the passengers. These
passengers were on the whole calm

Some Curious Experiments
With Both Flame and Air

"One of the many curious expert
ments made with the purpose of secur-
ing long-range and reducing air re-
sistance resulted in a flaming shell"
writes. J. Ell. Van Deventer in Every
body's. 1.-THE forepart of the shell con-
tains mixture of phosphorus and cop
per oxid, which is ignfted as the shell
leaves the gun not, strange to say, for
the purpose of setting fire to the enc
my's works or trains, but simply to
increase the range. Experiments have
shown increased ranges of almost 20
per cent for these flaming shells. The
explanation seems to be that the gases
given off coat the shell with a sort of
frictionless gas film. 'Wtnd-tunnel ex-
periments show that air resistance is
cut down almost rs per cent by these
gas films" 3 ~

Mexican Hunter Made the
First Known Discovery of
Oil in the California Field

The first known discovery of petro-
leum in California was made in 1865,
by a Mexican hunter, who had fol.
lowed deer trail to the head of Pico
canyon in Los Angeles county. near
the present town of Newhall. He
came on a seepage of sticky fluid that
was unknown to him. Prompted by
curiosity he collected a small guam
tity of it and took it to the Mission
Settlement at San Fernando There
man who had formerly resided In
Pennsylvania identified it as petro-
leum and at once formed a company
and staked out claims. IN 1870 shall

spread upon a cloth to be yet more
dried in the sun, until it is ready for
use. The dough, or ''pone," as the ma
tves call 1t, is then put in a kind of
pan standing on three legs, and about
six inches high. This pan is about
20 inches in diameter and slightly
followed in the middle. It is half an
inch thick at the edge, but thicker to-
ward the middle. When the pan is
getting hot, the dough is spread out
on it and the natives keep pushing 1t

make it stick together, it being nearly
dry. They then turn it round and
round with a kind of battledore until
it is done.

Where to View at a Glance
SCot!anRs River System

If there be one place north of the
Tweed where, at a single glance, one
may view and comprehend the chief
river system of Scotland, Stirling is
that place. From this point one notes
the main streams, the aff1uents, and
the gathering of the waters which
make the Clyde, the Forth and the
Tay. He can then realize how great
and important in the political and eco
nomic history of Scotland has been
that great central valley, which
stretches from the North sea to the
waters of the. Atlantic ocean.
