Quite a number of things have hap peied (1during or iIn conseq(Ieice of the war which never happened before. No British king ha ever passed inder Napoleon's Are de Triomphe until King George's recent visit to Paris. No British army had before helped to defend ["rance agailist an invader. British and 1russian troops had never previously tried conclusions. Never before the war had armies from India, America. Canada, Australia, New Zen land or South Africa landed in Europe. Until Mr. Wilson. no "reigning" president of the United States had crossed the Atlantic during his term of oflice, though ex-presidents have done so. Jerusaleth, Damascus and Bagdad had never before been cnptured by modern Europenn armies, nor had BriI 1tish soldiers ever previously marched theough Mesopotaminli. The British flag is the first standard of a Christian nation to float over Con stantinople as that of a conqueror since the taking of the city by the Turks over four centuries ago. No king of Prussia had ever lost his throne or been driven into exile he fore; and no war had ever brought misfortune on so many rulers or led to so many new states being set up. GOODBY TO FATHER WINTER No Doubt That Spring Is Here, With All the Joyousness That the Season Should Bring. The harbingers of spring are numer ous, though often obscure. It does not take many warmish days at this time of the year to make the heart of ani mate Nature. including man, to throb with hope. We have been filled with forebodings. All of our mild December we said that the autumn was lingering long this year. In equally mild Jan unry we prognosticated that we would "get it" in February. We are still a little fearful that old Father Winter may have some ice and snow for us in his storehouse and so we try not to be too forward looking. But a complete plan of the garden drawn to a scale, with every radish and bean and cabbage located is not rushing the season, and it is a mighty pleasant thing to make out these (lays. Stewart Edward White says he always gets out his book of flies in February, furbishes lip the old ones and replaces the missing favorites, and dreams, the while, of pools and rapids.

LUXURY IN EARLY TRAVEL "Safety Barges" Instituted for Those Who Feared Hazard of Voyage on Hudson River. The frequency with which hollers blew up on the early Hludson river boats led to the use of what were known as "safety barges," and these, in their day, were considered the utmost luxury in travel, comparable to the private cars of the nianates of today. The h rges were boats with main fiil( tipper (1(ckst and were al most as large as the steamers which towed them. The rabble rode (in the steamers, ithaled tile smells of the kitchen and Zhe freight hohls., endured the noise of the engines. find took the chances of expllosions, while on the barges behind the elite traveled in lixurious state. Food was brought from the beat kitchen to the barge saloon over a swaying bridge be tween the Yessels and was served with great aplomb under the direction of the barge captain, who was a noble figure in the setting. The upper decks of the barges were canopied and decked with flowers, with promenades and easy chairs from which to view the scenery. At night the interiors were transformed into sleeping accommodations much the same as a modern Pullman, except that they were more commodious. Not the least attractive feature of these barges, according to a chronicler of their ex cellence, was "an elegant bar, most sumptuously supplied with all that can be desired by the most fastidious ind thirsty." Recent news dispatches which tell of plans to establish floating cafes on the ocean just outside the three-mile territorial limit when the nation goes dry, Indicate that luxurious floating establishments somewhat similar to these "safety barges" may again come into use. SCIENTIST TELLS OF TRIUMPH Professor Claims to Have Perfected System for Underground and Sub marine Messages. Speaking recently of his work for the navy, Prof. James R. Rogers, the in ventor of a wireless system for under ground and submarine transmission, stated: "Six or seven years ago, I began experiments with the transmis sion of electric impulses by the ground. They were renewed during the war with the audion bulb, which renders the receiving apparatus more sensitive. I first established contact with near by points and before long received with perfect distinctness impulses sent from Europe. I placed my antennae in trenches radiating from a center and pointing by the compass toward the distant station from which I wished to receive. I denonstrated to the navy depnrt ment that eight operators may receive at once from eight separate wires. My system was instalied at New (1ri(ans. the Grent I;nkes station, and It'imar, N, Y.. and is now used at the principal wireless stations in the United Stat es. I have found tle best results with mmy wirea hurled six feet below the surface in damp ground. Somei of may experiments were conduct ed in witer 25 to 50 feet deep."-Sclen tifie A merican.
