The American and British Schools of Archaeology in Greece are making preparations for the accommodation of women students of the respective schools. Two new buildings are to be erected. one by each school, for the housing of the women students. The building for the male students of the American school has only just been completed. There is nothing like it for comfort, cleanliness and modern conveniences in all Greece. Though at present there are almost no students of either school. i. i~ whon tho u'nr ends 11 19 aupcu mai. tutvM ??v both the American and British schools will again be flourishing. The present buildings of the school are situated in a very beautiful wooded park where shade (a rarity in Athens) is plentiful, and excellent tennis courts are at hand. Our Center oi Arej.

Of course, we all know the old any tag that wi: !y admonish s us to eat to live rather than live to eat. But. on the other hand1, that Is no excuse for the man who Invites us to dinner and then gives us a bad one. We are belplesB in his hands, condemned by Jpi t jiiillliiiiiiini to eat t*? : fare us. W mid that in this day and clme we could dare to emulate a certain ancient heathen Chinee. The tory goes that once upon a time in Ch'ang-an there lived a man who loved giving dinners; unfortunately, atrocious dinners. One day a guest dropped 'on his knees before him, ex claiming: "Am I not a friend o! yours?' "You are, indeed." replied the host. "Then I ask a favor of you." laid the guest, "and you must gran* U before I rise from my knees." "What Is it?" sild the host in astonishment "Never iuvite m > to dniner u?aln.' the gstst. Watch Your Step. A prominent country priest, we! itnown for Lis humor, in speaking of z snd accident that befell one of om good ecclesiastical dignitaries tin other evening, humorously remarked "The man who goes along this inun dano sphere keeping both eyes on heaven all the time is liable to trip ai.d land in heaven pretty quick.

The aeuograpn, aunougu imgcij ouperseded by wireless telegraphy, still is used on the frontiers of India and in South Africa, where the air is clear and signals can be seen over long distances. Botha's men are using it, and so are his opponents, though perhaps they seldom think this method of signaling by means of flashing reflections of the sun's rays is more than 2,000 years old, being invented by Tacitus. The shields of soldiers, grouped In a prearranged manner, were used, but, of course, the system was very primitive and transmission slow, only the simplest expressions being possible. Under favorable conditions a heliograph signal can be read for very long distances, 770 miles being not at all uncommon, while 15 years ago Major Home, on the staff of General French, managed to send messages for 92 miles, for long a record. Recently this has been outdone, and the sume officer was able to read quite clearly signals which were flushed from a distance of 130 miles. Captain Sadler of the Carabiniers, using a flinch heliograph from Compass Beg, talked to Major Home on the Cockscombe mountain, near Uitenhage, a record which remains unbeaten. DEFENSE AGAINST U-BOATS High-Power Submarine Sheila Might 3e Fired From Faat Motor Craft. jlj The best answer to the submarine Is the high-speed motor boat. Whatever < * ? I- U fKn inn. development may ue muue iu mc tive power of the submarine, it can never equal the speed of a small surface craft. The surface submarine destroyers could be equipped with types of high explosive shells closely resembling the "mine" fired from the trench mortars in Europe. The detonation of several hundred pounds of high explosive under water in the close vicinity of a submarine will be one of the most effective means of securing its destruction. As further protection for the floating gun platforms (battleships) there will be the torpedo-boat destroyers which have proved so valuable during the present war. For scouting purposes there should be developed a flying boat, with emphasis on the boat. This flying machine should be capuble of operating from, and landing safely on, a rough sea. With their tremendous speed, they would prove far superior to the scouting ship.?John Hays Hammond, Jr., in North American Review. Nitrates From Air. When the thirteenth annual convention of the American Electro-Chemical society is held iu New York city from September 117 to September 30, members will discuss the problem of obtaining nitrates from the atmosphere. Nitrates are not only important us TefrtiHecrw, buf-they are ar basic llf*^ gredfent in the manufacture of explosives. The world has been depending upon Chile for its supply, and the deposits there will probably last 50 years longer, but the United State? Is endeavoring to make itself iudepend ent of any foreign source or supply, and the electro-chemists are endeavoring to find a practicable method of extracting the nitrates from the nitrogen gas which forms SO per cent of the air. The first plant for the manufacture of nitrates was erected at Niagara Fulls. On the Level. At the Players' club in New York they were discussing the English poet, Alfred Noyes. "Poor Noyesy!" said an editor. '"He used to make poetry pay, but the war has created a slump in the poetry market, and to get along today Noyes Is writing advertising Jingles. What a come down, eh?" "A come down?" said a critic, his eyes twinkling humorously behind his pince-nez. "Ilumph. What kind of ads is he writing?" "Sausage ads," said the editor. "Then," said the critic, "it's no come down. Noyes always did write doggerel." Letting Himself Down Easy. It happened in one of the restau rants in the financial district. He was a fat. gonial fellow, just the kind you would expect to stutter, hopelessly stuck at the counter where you give your order, even more fussed by ihe need of quickness und unable to utter a syllable. The helpful bystander came to the rescue. Reading down the bill of fare he waited for a signal from the tongue-tied one as to which was his order. "lie wants a ham sandwich," volunteered the good Samaritan finally. Then without a tremor of hesitation the stammerer said to his friend, "I sometimes get stuck on that word."? Wall Street Journal.
