FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1919. ALL FEARED MOON Soldiers Regarded Orb of Night as Their Enemy. n f < Lighted Roads on Which They Were Moving, and Thus Gave Enemy Gunners a Chance to Deal X Out Death. "Tlio war Is ended; the battlefields are being cleured of their debris; the rusty wire Is being rolled up. The nights can be spent In beds, yet the men of the One Hundred and Nineteenth field artillery even now look at the sky with dread," says L. L. Stevenson In' the Detroit News. "The battlefields are not distant. Nor are the days distant when the moonlight was a menace to the One Hundred and Nineteenth. "We were riding hack from Toul, a little company of Detroit men. who ^ had celebrated a birthday anniversary In that old, walled city. We had been discussing many things, principal of which was the homecoming, plans for the future end those whom we wished were with us. Then the moon swung over those forts on the hill, concealed no longer, and fell a silence over the veterans. "They seemed to draw into themselves. Came a loud report and the artillerymen half rose In their seats. It was only n rear tire, yet the effect on keyed-up nerves was the same as though the blowout had been the detonntlon of that which hud dropped xrona the sky. "Anrl simultaneously nil (lnmned the moon, ns though that Inoffensive orb hnd been the cause. "Then they told me of those nights ?marching along the highways helpless; Jerry sweeping low and spraying lead at them from the machine guns, of bombs that were silent until they spoke In accents of death. They spoke also of the night when Ituck was killed, when Chaplain William A. Atkinson, now quite recovered, lay In a pool of blood; when others with whom I hnd eaten and slept and camped up at (Irnyllng, hnd fathomed the great mystery. "It seemed to be n relief to them, a lifting of the weight, and I said nothing though ull the beauty of the night had departed. Strange scenes danced about my eyes; the gaunt, unfinished military hospital on the left was a gray ghost; those winking lights? gleaming now, but not long ngo hnd they shone they would have been an Invitation to death?were far away flares, the deserted ammunition dump was animated with sweating figures. "It was ns though a weight had been lifted when we entered Mauvnges. Clear and distinct In the bright light stood a sentry, a stalwart fellow, his naturally large build magnified In the silver beams until he wns a giant. The way he carried himself, the (It of his uniform, told that he was a veteran. "And he was shaking his fist at the moon!" MUST BE BORN A SiNGER Certain Formation of Throat and Noatrilc Imperative for Utteranoe of Sweet Sound*. According to recent scientific discoveries, singing birds, like human singers, must have a certain type of throut and nostrils. A full throat, large thorax, open nostrils and slightly protruding lips with good length from the point of the nose to the point of the chin end full cheeks are, say the scientists, positive signs In a human being of the power to give forth 'one. If the ears are round and well set to the head It !s a sign not only of the power to sing, but to appreciate, and the combination means the great artist. With feathered songsters much the same rules hold good. The round, somewhat pointed beak of the canary . i opens wide and his thorax and throat are exceedingly big for so tiny a bird, / ^ according to tbe Philadelphia North American. He cnn hear and appreciate the smallest sound and his trills and the beauty of his tone are due to his throat, to the roundness of his head and the shape of his bill. The duck, on the other hand, having a flat bill and a small throat can only quack. Even If l.e longed to sing he could not acquire any pleasant notes, / and It Is the snrae way with some poo pie. The most careful training cannot \glve the sound box which nature provides for those to whom she gives the * great gift of vocal powers. > Invention of Much Worth. The special oxyacetylene blowpipe applied by French engineers to cutting ateel under water Is claimed to have greatly simplified the salvage of torpedoed vessels. A blowpipe Is mounted In a small diving hell, from which the water Is expelled hy I compressed air, and the blowpipe pressures of air and acetylene, grenter thnn under ordinary conditions, are regulated according to the depth at which the work Is being done. In trials made, ship's plates have h?en * cut under 27 feet of water. Resides the use of the apparatus on sunken vessels, It can he employed In repairing locks, and probably In other underwater work. We are proud of the confidence doctors, druggists and the public have in ??? (.'hill and Fever Tonic. ?Adv.
