HORSES BRAVE UNDER FIRE
Animals Displayed Remarkable Cook

Enemy's Heaviest Barraee.

The noble horse is a very calm anS-

of the GOODNESS displayed by horses
amid the din of war was shown at
the front in France, and the soldiers
who had the opportunity to personally
observe the attitude Of the faithful
horse while under shell-fire can realize
what an Indispensable role was played
In the World war bysou good old do

Impressed by the actions of horses
when the shells began to burst and the
deadly gas spread its fatal wings over
the field Of battle. One night near
Chateau-Thierry, heavy barrage be-
gan to fall in our vicinity, and the
horses, which were also open to the
danger, did not scatter OF run. In
stead, three of them following the
example of the soldiers, lay down
promptly and waited until the Smelling
was over. Only one of them was killed,
and that poor fellow had remained
standing.
Another time, while moving along
a road that was under enemy observa-

both sides of our column. But the

pale blue with small black spots-the
eggs Of song thrush, writes q CORE

sitting on the nest. Only the head
was visible, but 1t appeared to me
that the bird was her blackbird and
not a thrush. 1t was some days be-
fore I found the bird off the nest,
the plastered lining OF the nest had
been slightly covered with dried
grasses, and that the nest contained
four blackbird's eggs-bluish green
with notified ends The two thruSh's
eggs had disappeared. They could not
be found at the foot of the wall below
the nest, but there was found on a
green above the wall the broken egg
of song thrush. When | discovered
the nest part Of it's outer wall was
slightly torn, as if a cat had climbed
up the ivy and endeavored to claw out
the bird then sitting. Is 1t possible

REVEAL THEIR ARMY TRAINING
When a Crowd Is Waiting to

Army training still manlfests itself
in civilian life, and former soldiers
automatically fall into line when they

Of young men stormed the locker
rooms each evening. The ex-seryice
men set the example by lining up and
taking their turqs to reach the gate.
AS each elevator disembarked its load
the former soldiers automatically went
to the rear. Younger men who had
not had this training and sought to

pulled out and sent to their station.

James L. Howard. president of the
Farm Bureau federation, said in
Washington the other day:
THE farmer is going to market his
own product hereafter. The farmer
of the past, who let the middleman
collar all the profit of the farm, was
more guileleSs than Cornelius Husk.
Corn Husk, you know, came to
New York to see his uncle. He got
off at the Pennsylvania station and
asked a policeman how long a walk
it was to his uncle's place.

VARYING Strength Of Sunlight

There Is practically no such thing
as overlighting, writes J. H. Kurlan-
der, in describing for the General Sci
ence Quarterly a series Of tests made
by the lighting service department Of
the Edison lamp works. He adds: In
vestigation of places which are said to
be overlighted will usually show that,
if anything they are glar1ngly under
lighted"
These tests showed that sunlight in
an open field measures S,OO0-foot can
die power (Which means that it gives
the illumination that would be given
by 5000 candles foot distanO. Sum
light in a street between buildings
measures 3,0OO-foot candles. Shadow
in a street between buildings measures
800; under q tree in the open, 500. The
light on an office desk next TO a south
window has an intensity of 110-foot
candies; one ten feet in, 20, and one
IS feet in, 30. At inside benches be-
tween two exposures only 20.

Speaking of robes, that worn by
the first judge of the japanese Su-
preme court is a work of art and as
heavy with embroidery as the vest
ments of the padres Of the little San
German church in Porto Rico The
color is black and the texture fine.
Around the neck is a collar, woven
into the gown itself and not worn sep
arately, as is the collar of the chief
justice of England The color of the
embroidery of this collar is royal pur-
pie, and is called the "crest Of the
seven flowers of ponlownia" The
cap, something after the order of the
very smart sport hats worn by the
American women. is also black, with

Land and Water Ship.

The hippopotamus is now rivaled by
an amphibious tank that travels equal
ly well by land and water. 1t is a
tank only in the sense that it origi-
mated in the fighting tanks of the war,
for it is, as matter of fact pas
senger vehicle. When ashore, it trav-
els on endless tread wheels, and looks
like a notorious; when afoat, it is
propelled and acts like a launch. It
is the invention of Frenchman, and
was recently tested, carrying six pas
sengers, in MarSeilIes, the great Medi-
terranean port. The French got
around the difficulty of giving 1t an
appropriate appellation by calling it
a land and water ship.-Popular Me-

Most Italian women II they had their

cording to results Of vote recently
taken by one Of the Roman papers.
The argument advanced for being
Eve was that she, OF all women, had
no competition. Her husband was
never away from home and there was
no other woman on whom he might
cast an alluring glance.
Those who did not choose to be Eve

GOWN WORN BY JOHN WESLEY
English Wesleyan Body Receives Gist
OF Robe That Belonged to Found
er of Methodisn.

The Wesleyan Methodist Connexion
has just received from one of its lead
ing laymen a gown that belonged to
the founder of Methodism, according
to the London Daily News. John WeS-
ley died in 1891, SO that the garment
is more than 100 years old.
Time has, of course, left its marks
upon the gown. Some parts are dis
colored and others are worn and
patched. The material Is heavy, aud
upon 1t, worked In black, are lowers
and praneing horses. A. the great
preacher was q little man. the gown
must have hung about his heels.
1t is claimed that the gown was a
preaching gown, but 1t is very dis
similar to the ecclesiastical garment
that, according to authentic records,
John Wesley wore in the pulpit. This
one possesses an ordinary sleeve. and,
generally speaking, it seems to accord
with the style Of a black study gown.
The donor of the gown has also pre-
sented a pair of slippers belonging to
Wesley. These are in good condition,
and are of the kind that he would
wear in his study.
Wesley, of course. travelled through
out Great Britain and Ireland In all
weathers on his preaching tours. and
it was suggested That he wore this
heavy gown as n protection against
atmospheric conditions.
The Wesley museum contains o
large number Of interesting relics OF
John and Charles Wesley. 1t possesses
the study chair Of John, and presently.
as a gift from the donor Of the gown,
Charles Wesley's study chair will be
placed there.
A large proportion Of the visitors to
the MUSEUM come from the overseas
dominions and the United States,

to the early history of Methodism is
