APE-MAN'S REIGN
OF TERROR ENDS
Maniac Captured After He Had
Terrorized Whole Country for
More Than Two Weeks.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-The 'sape-man" who
has terrorized the countryside between
Greensburg and Homestead for two
weeks was captured In q heavily
wooded thicket in Baldwin township
and lodged in the Hays police station.
His body, nearly nude, a fearsome,
grimy sight, and the matted hair on
his face and head six inches long, the
ape-man so closely resembled his
simian ancestors that the officers who
came on him unawares were in doubt
Tor several minutes whether he was
man or beast.
When captured the ape-man was
sleeping beside a fire. On being
awakened he sprang at Constable

PRUSSIAN GUARDS

Pure-Food Law.
Watching "Rainbow" Sugar

That ar ~or---'os &C Sc called "rain-
how sugar so far examined by the
Prrnan e Chemistry have been
found to be colored by harmless
dyes is the statement of the United
States Department of Agriculture
whose pure-food experts began test
ing samples of this product soon at
ter it appeared on the market. Re
peated inquiries coming to the bu-
reau from many parts of the coun-
try seem to indicate that consider
able quantities of this sugar have
been supplied to grocers.
Z The department states that in ac-
cord with the provisions of the food
and drugs act it will continue to eX-
anime samples of this tinted product
to ascertain whether or not harmful
dyes are used in the future. Only
colors known to be harmless have
been used in the samples tested and
under the food and drugs act their
use can be continued so long as they
do not conceal inferiority. The
sugar so far examined is harmless,
sound, and not inferior, so that the
practice of the refiners does not
conflict with the provisions Of this
law.
The method employed in tinting
the sugar examined is relatively
simple and adds very little to the
cost of the product and nothing to
it's food value. Refiners state that
the shortage of sugar has created an
opportunity to place on the market
considerably reserve stores of this
colored product which ordinarily is
used only for confections. They deny
that they have colored their stocks
of white sugar in order that higher
price might be demanded for it.

He explodes the theory Of the ni.!!
tarv leaders who declared the firing
on Rheims was forced by military
necessity, in view Of the fact thai
the French were said to have used
the towers of the Cathedral for OBJ
servation posts and emplacements
for guns.
Baron Won Hansen, in his reminis-
censes, says than on September j.
1914, he advanced southwark witl
his troops against Rheims at ":le
same time that General Won Buelow
at the head of the second army, also
was approaching the city.
Although fights of September l
and 2 had made it doubtful whether
Rheims could be held or used as a
fortress, General Won Buelow an.
lounced by wireless, according to
Baron Won szHausen, he had ordered
Rheims taken early on September 8.
On the same day General Won Hau-
sen learned by airplane courier that
Rheims had been evacuated. He dis
cusses his operation:
81 decided to take a sally against
the Notifications, and took Forts
Vitry and Nogent L'Abbesse without
opposition and later other forts, to,
gether with many guns and much
ammunition. The population was
satisfied since the presence of Ger.
man troops prevented disorders. Al
noon on September 3 Rheims wa,
firmly held by the Saxcns. A fcw
hours later, however, it was learned
that the city was being bombarded
by the Prussian Guards. 1t was re-
garded as a sensational report,
which nobody believed until shells
actually fell. The Guard had fired
ostensihly because threecouriers had
failed to return.
"On September 4 the Guard bom-
barded Rheims for two hours, dam
aging the Cathedral. After the bonn
bardment, Won Buelow sent word
that he had imposed fine of So
100000 francs, which would be in
creased to 1OO,OOO,OOO if the couri-
crs were not released in two days.
Baron Won Hausen's "reminiscences
said Won Buelow imposed the fine
without knowing whether the courier
had arrived at Rheims, and that the
fact was they did not reach Rheims.
General Won Buclow j. g:;.. ......
ordered the bombardment Of the
city without knowing whether it was
defended.

Proof of Convexity.

The proofs Of the convexity Of the,
earth's surface are numerous and
some of them exceedingly simple. If,
standing on the seashore, in clear
day, we view ship leaving the coast
in any direction, the hull or body Of
the vessel first disappears after
wards the rigging, and lastly the top
of the highest mast vanishes from
sight Navigators have sailed around
the earth. Among the earliest of
these was the famous English sailor,
Sir Francis Drake, who sailed from
Plymouth, England, on December -.
1877. and arrived ut the same place
on September 26, 1880. Many other
early navigators, by sailing ina west
erly direction, arrived at the country
they sailed from. The form of the
earth's shadow, as seen upon the moon
in an eclipse, indicates the globular
figure Of the earth, and the conse-
quent convexity Of it's surface.

the most dangerous carriers of disease
germs are the hands. Food, milk,
water, towels, cloths and handkerchief
can be boiled to kill the germs but the
hands cannot be cleaned SO easily, and
their warmth enables germs to remain
