t Women Archaeologists.
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.

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.

Bad Dinner*.
Of course, we all know the old any

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*? :

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."

HELIOGRAPH USED IN AFRICA
Wireless Telegraphy Has Not Entirely
Supplanted Sunlight Signaling.
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."?

Lucky to the Finish.
Rook?Taylor was always a fortunate
man, but doesn't it seem wonderful
that his luck should stay with him
to the very last?
Raleigh?How was that?
Rook?Why, he was operated on for
the removal of a pearl which he had
accidentally swallowed while eating
oysters, and when the pearl was examined
it was found to be valuable
enough to pay for both the operation
itnu uie lunerm.
