Another Belgian "TraaedY.n

A London wine house has received a considerable stock of wine from Bell gfum under what are described as ex- tpaordinary circumstances. Tn the first two years of the war, the chronicler says, the Germans did not requisition much of the Belgian wine except at certain points, but they made inven- tory of all there was in sight or of which they learned, and as time wore on they grabbed it. One family near Biege had large quantity of fine vint- age Burgundy and the owner decided to take a desperate chance. It some times is wise to do openly what would be perilous to do secretly, SO he cased up his wine, loaded 1t on trucks and carted it through the streets in broad daylight to an ice factory. He expect ed every moment he would be halted and called to military headquarters, but he was not. He got his treasure to the ice house and hid 1t away 90 well that 1t remained undiscovered un- til after the close of the war. Then, when he was impoverished otherwise, he dug 1t up and sold 1t at a glorious price, and now Londoners are smack ing their lips and blessing him for his cleverness.-Commer and Finance

OLD BATTLE LINES |LEFT A BIC FAMILY
First American Newspaper a
 Prolific Parent.
From "PubIick Occurrences" Published in 1890, Are Descended All Pres
 ent-Day American Organs of Public Opinion.

The first newspaper to be printed on this continent made its appearance on Sept. 25, 1890. It was Benjamin Har- ris Publick Occurrences, published from the London Coffee house In Bos- ton. E
 An account of its first issue is out lined by George Henry Payne, in his History of American Journalism.
 The author is a young man of long newspaper experience, having until re- gently served the New York Evening Telegram in the capacity of dramatic editor. MT. Payne is now a New York tax commissioner. --...
 The publisher of our first newspaper, in his opening statement, announced that he would take pains to trace down the disseminators of any false or malicious reports.
 Then followed the news or occur ences," which-considering that this was seventy years after the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth rock and two hundred years after the invention of printing-shows that our pioneer journalist was not lacking in what is now called news sense. We are inform ed that the christianized Indians in Plymouth had appointed a day of thanksgiving and their example is commended to other non-Indian neigh bors in line that seems sarcastic.
 There is a brief mention of the fact that two children had been stolen by Indians from the settlement of Chelms- ford, the correspondent and not the ed- ftor being responsible for the fact that the names are not given.
 From Watertown there is communi- cated the news that an old man (again the correspondent neglects to give the name), having lost his wife, fell into fit of melancholy, during which the devil took possession of him, with the result that o1e morning early in the month he was found hanging in the cowbarn." It Is noted that the small pox Is abating In Boston, but that an- other disease-seeming to be more or less of a malignant fever, not unlike the influenza with which this genera ton is acquainted-is growing into dllu lIc ISpOIl that 320 people had died by the last visitation of smallpox.
 Two fires are reported, and with much feeling 1t is noted that in one e them a PRINTING PRESS (the cap- itals are Harris) had been destroyed
 It was in his account of the battle with the French and Indians that Ear ris printed news which was to be his undoing. Read even today his report Of the expedition against the French and the use of the friendly Maquas by Gov. Winthrop is not bad reporting when one considers that reporting had yet to be developed or even inaug- urated. It was a report, however, that contained matters that the authorities were not desirous of having printed, for 1t told how the Indian allies of the colonists had treated the French prisoners with great, barbarity.

Kidney disease often advances so rapidly that many a person is firmly in it's grasp before aware of it's pro- gress. Prompt attention should be given the slightest symptom of kid ney disorder. If there is a dull pain in the back, headaches, dizzy spells or a tired, worn-out feeling, or if the kidney secretions are offensive, irregular and attended by pain, pro- cure a good kidney remedy at once.

s Avoiding Lily Embargo.

C.. because of the embargo pta this year by the United States debafsment of agriculture on all Jap aaess nursery stock packed in Jap 'ahese soil. This decree was intended to stop the importation from the is- land of Formosa of lily bulbs, ordi- naf7ly brought into this country at the crate of s25,OOO,OO0 worth a year. But the trade will not be suspended, nurserymen of Vancouver declare
 The bulb traffic will be defiected north ward to this seaport, just above the boundary; and here the bulbs will be removed from the soil in which they crossed the Pacific. They will then be repacked in Canadian loam, and so, tree from Japanese soil," will be qualified for entrance into the United States!-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Machine tn Sack Potatoes

Now that machines for digging po- tatoes are in common use, the next step is to provide automatic means for loading them into sacks. An Ohio inventor has just developed such a mechanism, in the shape of a three wheeled trailer which attaches to the back of the digger, according to Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. The front wheel has a caster mounting, en- abling 1t to follow the digger in turn ing at the end of a row. An elevated inclined screen receives the potatoes from the conveyor of the digger. The sacks are hung on four hooks at the rear, their bottoms supported by a small platform.

Planet Polar Caps,

A contributor to the English Me chanic states that polar caps were plainly visible on Venus in June, 1919, through his three-inch refracting tel escope, which has magnifying power of 160. The caps appeared to be of an intense whiteness that resembled one of the large craters on the moon. The Scientific American announces that a similar observation ts reported from Nj. FlammarioB's observatory at Juvisy, France.

Oxygen Device Tested.

Because of the possible disastrous failure of an airman's oxygen supply apparatus at great attitudes, the United States bureau of standards has devised a reliable method of testing the equipment in the laboratory. All the Conditions of high-altitude flights are accurately reproduced, says Pop uiar Mechanics Magazine in an illus trated article appearing in its July is- sue. Decreased pressure is obtained by inclosing the equipment in bell jar connected to an air pump.

WORK OF SPONGE CATERERS
Divers Go to Great Depths to Collect
Them From the Rocks to Which
They Are Fixed.

SpOnges are of many qualities, but
the most highly priced is that of Syria,
with a euplike shape and q yellowish
pale color, which is found In number
of varieties.
The large sponge fisheries are sit
uated along the seasEores Of Greece,
Syria and of certain parts Of the Adri-
attic, as well as along the Tripol and
Tunisian seashores. The fishing of
sponges is effected by divers who are
let down from beat to depths Of 10,
20 and sometimes % meters, and pull
the sponges from the rocks TO which
they are fixed. Some sponge fishermen
use q long trident, but this system is
fortunately falling into disuse, since 1t
spoils the sponges. In better-equipped
fishing grounds the gathering of
sponges is effected by divers provided
with diving bells or dressed in cork
jackets.
Upon being gathered the sponges are
squeezed, beaten and washed in order
to rid them of their black coating and
soft substance which gives them a
very Characteristic chlorine odor.
When they begin TO wfiten they are
subjected TO frequently renewed
solution Of sulphuric acid.
