FLED FROM CHEESE BARRAGE
Commander of Brazilian Warship
Thought Some New Kind Of
Bomb Was Being Used.

Probably the strangest and most
curious use to which cheese was ever
put occurred in naval battle between
Brazil and Uruguay in the mid-Nine-
teenth century, records the Intelli-
gencer.
The Uruguay ship, commanded by
Captain Coe, in the midst of the bat
tie became exhausted of shot. A lieu
tenant reported the facts to COe.
"Powder all gomez" asked Coe.
mo, sir; lots Of that yet"
I'VE had darned hard cheese-a
round Dutch one-for desert at dinner
today; do you remember it?' said Coe
II ought to; broke the carving
knife in trying to cut 1t, sir"
Are there any more abOardW
about two dozen. We took them
from a drawer"
Evil they go in the 1S-pounders?"
"By thunder, commodore, but that's
the idea! I'll try EN-"
And in few minutes the lombard
ing from Goes ship reopened, and the
enemy found more shot flying over
their heads. At last one shot struck
the mainmast, scattering the bits Of
cheese far and wide. Then another
came. Then four or five more slapped
against the sails. The enemy COM
mander, unable to decide what was
happening, and thinking that new
kind of bomb was being used on him,
became terrOrized and ordered his boat
to back away. Little did he know that
he was retreating from barrage of
Dutch cheese.

Movies Used In Teaching Of
 Mathematics

Boston, April 5-Movie aids to in- strnction in mathematics are being utilized at Huntington School here. Geometry, a dull subject in other days, is said to have become almost thing of joy. Text books are used. but only after an appetite for solids, surfaces and space has been created and stimulated by lines that move and by animated angles.
 Charles H. Sampson. the instructor says he uses two reels of 1000 feet each. The purpose he says, lis not 10 teach geometry but rather to gain valuable aid in the teaching of it.
 The subject is introduced on the film by Japanese juEgler. He ap- pears with a basket filled with geo metrica1 figures of all kinds which he juggles with skill. Thus the stu dents are early interested in the gen eral subject Because too few stu dents appreciate the value of the bis torical background there is next in troduced a series of short life sketches of a few of the great nlathematicianS.
 Animation is the feature of these ss-ometr1caI films which makes them interesting. It is much more interest ing for instance, to see a point repre- scented by the intersection of two straight Ines which appear as mov- ing things on the screen until they inersect than to attempt to become interested in the definition by merely reading it from the text
 Complementary angles taken to- gether form a right angle When students see one acute angle start from one side of the screen and an
 er acute angle begin to move

but nothing could be proved. So cleverly was the Colonel concealed that, evenwhen the Moriarty gang was broken up, we could not incrin1i- nate him. You remember at that date, when 1 called upon you in your rooms, how I put up the shutters for fear of air-guns? No doubt you thought me fancifu1. I knew exactly what was doing, for I knew of the existence of this remarkable gun, and I knew also that one of the best shots in the world would be behind it. When we were in Switzerland he fol- lowed us with Moriarty, and it was undoubtedly he who gave me that evil five minutes the Reichanbach ledge.
 You may think that I read the papers with some attention during my sojourn in France, on the lookout for any chance of laying him by the heels So long as he was free in Lon- don, my life would really not have been worth living Night and day the shadow would have been over me and sooner or later his chance must have come.

the sense of poetry transferable into movement The measured beats in a fine piece of poetry are tuned to whether it is a lyric or an elegy, and there isaa corresponding rhythm in the dar which helps to translate its mean4g. One must be able to catch this rhythm, and to dance in time with it.
 This sense is closely allied to the dramatic instinct, the sensitiveness of the actress which helps the dancer to realize the significance of every move rnent of the dance, and to emphasize the important moments It means put ting ones heart into the dance, and the lack of this feeling results in a dancer proficient only in technique as in music it gives us the pianist who IS merely brilliant

 Most of the crimes committed to- day apparently are by novices and boys. The showing of pictures of criminal actions promotes criminality and such pictures should be suppress ed
 Miss Weiman considers it shocking that returned soldiers are being all lowed to go without work, food and clothing, while esumabIe citizens bo- Eher their heads with the motion pie lures responsibility for the increase of crime.
 "The moving picture is no more dangerous in its influence than the stories of Horatio Alger," she de- clared, in defence of pictures ''The boy who will be influenced to hold up and sand-baS and rob and mur- der through the movies would prob ably have been equally influenced by Nick Carter.' He would manage to read these books on the sly if they were denied him, as Chicago's chief of police is about to deny him the dangers of the screen.

 'Chicago'S distress over the crime wave might better concern itself with actual conditions than with imaginary ones.
