THE CELESTIAL ARMY

I stood by the open easement
 And looked upon the night, And saw the westward going stars
 Pass slowly out of sight, Slowly the bright procession
 Went down the gleaming arch, And my soul discerned the music
 Of their long triumphal march. Till the great celestial army,
 Stretching far beyond the poles, Became the eternal symbol
 Of the mighty march of souls. Onward, forever onward,
 Red Mars led down his clan; And the moon, like a mailed maiden,
 Was riding in the van. And some were bright in beauty,
 And some were faint and small, But these might be in their great height The noblest of them all Downward, forever downward
 Behind Earth's dusky shore They passed into the unknown night
 They passed and were no more. No morei Oh, say not sol
 And downward is not just; For the sight is weak and the sense Is din
 That looks through heated dust. The stars and the mailed moon,
 Though they seem to fall and dies Still sweep with their embattled lines yqn endless reach of sky. And though the hills of Death
 May hide the bright array, The marshaled brotherhood ot souls seStin keeps its upward way. Upward, forever upward,
 see their march sublime. And hear the glorious music
 Of the conQuerors of Time. And long let me remember,
 That the palest. faintest one May to the diviner vision be
 A bright and blazing sun.

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 pie lures which were rescued, four years ago, from Ypres cathedral 1t ap- pears that during the bombardment of Ypres in 1915 young British artil- lery officer noticed inside the cathe- 1ral, which was being heavily Shelled, that the only things not shattered by German fire were two large Flemish masters, dated 1900, hanging some 20 feet high on the walls. How to get them and save them for Belgium was the question which immediately pre- sented 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 large sack, which he used for a 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 10 beilg returned to King Albert at Brussels.

NOT AN UNNATURAL ERROR

 Beyond Recall.

Concerning the cheese that made Limburg famous. bulletin of the Ma tional Geographic society quotes a communication from William Wisner Chapin as follows:
 "Limburg is sometimes called the garden of Holland. Of the celebrated relish known as Limburger cheese if has long been a query how an article of food made from delicious material and considered such a delicacy can possess so obnoxious an odor and still retain it's self-respect- This peculiarity has made Limburger cheese responsi- ble for many amusing incidents.
 "A Dutch-American rural citizen once went to town to make some purchases, among which was some of this odorif- erOus commodity. For convenience he placed it in long box in the wagon behind the seat. Happening to stop on the road, an inquisitive acquaint- ance approached and asked what the box contained.
 ''In answer he raised the lid and re- piled, have my grandmother
 "'Well,' rejoined the inquirer, as he caught a whiff of the contents, she's not in a trance.'"

Sustained Nervous Energy Always Demands an Outlet

It 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 ship which was torpedoed. After the first excitement following the attack 1t 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 well known at the front that long day of waiting in the trenches was productive of more cases of shell shock than a day of active engagement with the en- emy. Next there were a few cases of suicide among the passengers. These passengers were on the whole calm enough, even on the life rafts. It was only when they were on the rescuing ship that psychoneural phenomena be gan to develop, including mutism, spas modic weeping, laughter, tremors, spas modic movements of the limbs, etc.

Static Disturbances Might Be Far-Off BrotherIy Hands
 Knocking at Our Very Door

In Bunyan's 'Pflgrim's Progress there is man who ran with his fingers in his ears, shouting at the top of his voice, that he might not hear. In developing the possibilities of ter restrial communication it is of con summate importance that we shall find a way to put our fingers in our ears and shut out the extraneous noises of the "statics," Buckner Speed writes in Harper's.
 It is a cheap fancy and unprof1table science to muse about Thigh and far off things' before we are ready for them. We go on doing the thing next to us, doing it well, conquering the obstacles that it is profitable to con quer, and we do well in doing so; but little by little in doing so we are un- questionably reaching and feeling our way toward the ability on our own part to be cognizant of voices em- anating from spheres other than our own; and if there are beings of like or greater intelligence than ours else where, we shall in time certainly be in communication with them. It may be even now that some of these static disturbances which we try so hard to shut out are far-off brotherly hands knocking at the door that we now hold fast closed.

Some Curious Experiments
 With Both Flame and Air

"One of the many curious experi- ments made with the purpose of secur- ing long-range and reducing air re sistance resulted in a flaming shell" !" writes J. H. Van Deventer in Every body's. '@The forepart of the shell con tains a mixture of phosphorus and cop per oxid, which is ignited 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 sort of frictionless gas film. Wind-tunnel ex- periments show that air resistance is cut down almost 75 per cent by these gas flms."

IF THIN AND NERVOUS,

When one stops to consider the host of thin people who searching continually for some method by which they may in crease their flesh to normal proportions by the filling out of ugly hollows, the rounding DIT of protruding angles with the attend ant bloom of health and attractiveness it Is wonder that many and varied sug- gestions along this line appear from time to time in public print.
 While excessive thinness might be at- different individuals it is we1-known fact that the lack of sufficient phosphoreus in the human system is very largely respon- Bible for this condition. Experiments on humans and animals by many scientist have demonstrated beyond question of becomes nervous, sickly and thin. A noted author and professor in his book Chem lstry and Food Nutrition" published In 1913, says: "s that the amount of phos- phorous required for the normal nutrition of man Is seriously underestimated In many Of our standard text books
 It seems to be well established that tnie deficiency in phosphorous may now be met by the use of an organic phosphate known throughout English speaking countries as of this phosphate by the nerve tissue the phosphoric content when absorbed in the amount normally required by nature soon produces a welcome change in our body and mind Nerve tension disappears. vigor and strength replace weakness and lack of ener- hollows and abrupt angles, becoming envel- oped in glow of perfect health and beauty and the will and strength to be up and doing.

Poison Root, the Wheat of
 Barbados, Is Turned Into a
 Wholesome, Nourishing Flour

The caSSora root, or manioc, is the wheat of Barbados. Before it comes to be eaten, it suffers a strange con- version; for. being an absolute poison when 1t is gathered, the natives sub init it to a process by which it is trans-substantiated into wholesome and nourishing four. The outside of the root is washed clean and it Is then held against a wheel, turned around with the foot, the broad sur face of which is made rough like a large grate. The grated root falls down in large trough, appointed as receiver for the purpose.
 The thus obtained powder, or pulp, is a rank poison, but it is now put into a strong piece of canvas and pressed hard until all juice is squeezed out. This dried poultice is then spread upon a cloth to be yet more dried in the sun, until it is ready for use. The dough, or "pone," as the na- tives call it, is then put in kind of pan standing on three legs, and about six inches high. This pan is about 20 inches in diameter and slightly ho1lowed 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 it down with their hands. This is to make it stick together, it being nearly dry. They then turn it round and round with a kind of battledore until it is done. The cakes thus produced are about as thick as pancakes.
