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.
