Tho under secretary cited tho case of

and generous manner in which the Gus

German interests during the war. as
an example of the care with which
American property WAS safeguarded.
DR.. Hanicl Won Haimhauscn said the
German government was opposed TO
the seizure of private enemy property
at tho beginning OF the war. but that
"England's procedure had forced her
to adopt such measuree" When the
United states entered the war and
proceeded against German property
there. Germany advised Washington
she would apply the same measures to
the same degree adopted by United
States officials. The under secretary
declared he had successfully opposed
demands from tho German military
command that American property in
Germany be subjected to the same
treatment as was given that of other
bClliccrents.
American patents and licenses were
neither sold nor transferred, he said

ARE LEARNING ABOUT STARS
Men Of Science Beginning to Believe
They Know Something Con-
corning the Subject.

The first successful attempt TO
measure stellar distances was made
in 1888 by Bessel. who determined the
parallax. of 81 Cygni, a little star of
the sixth magnitude which had at
tracted attention by its great proper
motion of five seconds of are "A year.
AT the beginning of the present cen
fury 40 or 80 parallaxes had become
known and in recent years progress
in measurement has become very
rapid. Greenwich observatory reports
the determination of the parallaxes OF
80 stars a year, while some American
observatories are doing even more.
American astronomers have in prepa-
ration a catalogue giving the parai-
lakes of 1900 stars and it is expected
that within very few years the dis
tances OF all stars visible to the naked
eye in the northern hemisphere will
have been made known, as well as
those of many fainter stars. The
parallaxes are determined by both
trigonometric and spectroscopic meth
DDS. while third method can be APP.
piled to many double stars.

WORK OF ANCIENT BUILDERS
Methods Of Thousands Of Years Ago

Were Effective.

Of Pennsylvania has recently spent six
years at the head OF archaeological ex-
petitions 10 Egypt. and among his dis
coyeries were some which help 10
make the methods of the ancient build
ers less mysterious. Three thousand
years before Christ they were work
ing an alabaster quarry at FL Amar-
ma, IL miles from the Nile and 200
miles above Memphis. From this quar-
RS they transported blocks of alabas-
ter. each many tons in weight, TO Mem
phis in the following manner: They
built road, much as we should build
IL now. from the. quarry TO the river
bank, with a smooth surface OF
pounded stone.
The blocks were Quarried by means
Of wooden wedges driven in at in
tervals along the cleavage line. When
soaked with water. the wedges ex-
banded aud split off the stone. which
was then shaped and dressed with
chiseis and drills of very hard bronze.
The blocks were mounted ON sieds
and dragged by gangs of slaves the
IL miles to the river. the road being
watered, possibly oiled. 10 make IL
slippery under the sled runners (they
had no wheels. Down the river the
blocks were fioated on RATS, to be
dragged finally TO the building sites.

Society Gives Up Smoking.

Smoking has become such hour
geOis habit that many women of the
London aristocracy who have been u.s.
ing tobacco are now stunning il, at
least in public. Medical men here
have warned women frequently since
the war about the evil effects of over
indulgence in cigarettes. but it WAS
not unit. smoking became bourgeois
habit that any difference was noticed
in the smoking habits of women Of
the so-called upper ten"
At the. moment the use Of tobacco
by women has become abnormal; be-
sides, many tobacconists are manufac-
turing small briar pipes for feminine
use. This has made the habit too COM
mon to please certain figures in so
ciety. and, in consequence, they have
given up the weed. At some aristo-
cratic garden parties recently few If
any women of the elect ventured to
smoke openly. SO what medical men
have been unable to do by their warn
ing is being rapidly accomplished by
Gloss nride-St Louis Post-Dispatch.
