i LITTLE PLEASURE IN TRAVEL
German Trains Creep Along in Dark
ness for Fear of Bombs of
Allied Aviators.
j Special precautions against air |
raids are now being taken on the Ger1
man railways in those districts espeI
cially liable to aeriu! bombardments
l by the allies, Railway Age states.
| The Palatinate railways, in particular,
are adopting precautionary measures,
j and a writer in the Lokal Anzeiger w tio
. acvcuuj ua^ciru uu uiia^Meui i.ui
scribes the darkening methods adopt;
ed at night.
| "For hours," he writes, "the train
! traveled as though In a dark cave,
j without lights, without conductors,
I without any station names being called
j out when the train stopped. When
every lamp is extinguished throughout
| the countryside, and the towns and vil[
lages, as though constrained by agonj',
i have closed their shops, the journey oppresses
one's mind and Is nowise reas*
suring. One goes on in uncertainty,
facing danger.
"Everywhere placards indicating 'how
! to behave during air raids,' show that
; one is In the aviator's territory. Slowly,
very slowly, the train proceeds on
, its journey; in a river alongside the
1 line one still sees the locomotive which,
] togther with its train, plunged Into the
j water on the occasion of a recent ncciI
dent. A train with broken windows?
> not a pane has remained intact?passes
| near us; another train passes all blacti
ened and half consumed by fire. And
I on arriving at the end of this dismal
journey the first question heard by the
traveler is, 'Will they come tonight?'"
r,ni n mining hit ry war
I Many Properties That Were Profitable
Have Been Foreed to Close Down
Temporarily.
Gold Is one of the war victims. The
! was has forced down, in market value,
measured by human labor, many kinfls
, of property and most of the staple
commodities, until some gold mines
which yielded a fair profit before the
war have become temporarily useless
to their owners. It costs so much to
: operate them that they cannot be
| worked without a loss.
There has been change in the value
of gold itself, in the money of great nations
which have maintained their
monetary systems on the specie basis,
while almost everything else has gone
up. The result is that any given number
of ounces of gold mined will buy
much less material used in mining,
such as explosives, drills, pumps and
j other machinery, and will pay for fewer
days' work. This change is still
i going on and the position of the goldI
mining nnmnnnlpfi firrnws less and lean
secure and sound.
Benefits of War.
That the benefits of war overshadow
its damages is the firm conviction of
Uncle John of Excelsior Springs
Standard, who writes:
"It shows the world, fer instance,
how to loosen up its band an' to deal
a sort of Jestlce that the brute can
understand. It reminds the unwashed
heathen, which they mighty nigh forgot,
that there's hell Inside a Yankee
when his blood Is billn' hot!
"Then?we know the Joys of savin',
which we maybe hadn't saw till the
roarin' beast of Berlin got toq handy
with his paw; so, we've somehow,
hitched our waggln to an everlasttn'
star, that will keep right on a-shlnin'
when we've clean fergot the war."
No Better Security on Earth.
The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that In
1000, two years after the Spanish war,
2 per cent bonds were offered at pnr
and oversubscribed. This Is a flnan
cial performance no other nation has j
ever equaled. United States 4 per j
cent bonds In 1888 sold as high as 180, i
mtwI In lOAl Krnnorht 1 QO1L An thft Qtrtrlf !
market. The United States has never
defaulted on any of its bonds. Not |
one of its bondholders has ever lost a j
cent of principal or interest, except
those who voluntarily have taken
losses by selling their bonds in a period
of temporary price depression.?

Away With the Ax.
The day of the woodsman with the ;
big ax may soon be over, if a new tree- j
felling machine comes into general use. j
The new machine is run by a small
motor. It will cut through a trunk SO
Inches in diameter in a few minutes.
Its saw is a chain affair with links of
six teeth each, which are readily exchanged.
Yt runs in a frame over four
rollerj ..1th ball bearings. It has a
hollow handle designed as a reservoir
for oil.
Effect of Poison Gases on Troops.
Certain gases have for their more
Immediate object, the Irritation of the
eyes (the lachrymatory gases, one part
In a million of air being effective), temporarily
blinding the victim; others
are designed for the Irritation of the
nose (the "sneeze-gases"), making It
almost impossible for the fighter to
overcome the tendency to throw off
his mask; and others again, for the
production of burns when In contact
with the flesh, which are of a most
distressing character, and, even if
they do not cause death, incapacitate
the victim for sen-ice for a period of
i months. The last-named gases are
likewise toxic and lachrymatory to a
high degree. The so-called "mustard
gas," a compound somewhat similar
In character to mustard oil, but far
more of an irritant, has proved particularly
destructive, and doubtless accounts
for many of the casualties in
recent attacks.?ITenry P. Talbot, Id

TYPIFIES SPIRIT OF FRANCE
rave Thirteen-Year-Old Girl, With
Two Small Brothers, Doing All
the Work on Farm.
When the work in yotir war garden
seems tedious and you straighten
your aching back and look longingly
toward the inviting shade of the trees
or toward the arm chair on the awningcovered
porch; when you mutter to 1
yourself that It will not matter much j
whether the weeds do choke the beet ,
patch?it may help you to finish your (
task if you call to mind a story told 1
in "My War Diary" by Mrs. Mary King ]
Waddington. .
In a village near ours, says the author,
a girl of thirteen is running the ?
farm. At the beginning of the war it '
was a thriving farm with a man and ]
his wife, six sons and one daughter. (
Then the blow fell, and all the men ]
in France were mobilized; the father ]
and his two eldest boys went off at
nn/>o_fnnr hniirs nffpr Ihp flpprpp ftf '
mobilization was received in the village.
The farmer had no time to put ]
his house In order, but left the farm j
In the hands of his wife and the two ,
big boys, aged fifteen and sixteen. The 1
man and his two eldest sons are now
dead, the two next are in the army, :
and the poor mother, a wreck phys- i
icnlly and mentally, cries all day. The
girl and the two little boys do the
whole work of the farm. The young- <
est, who Is only ten years old,
cannot accomplish much, but he does
manage to watch the cows and to
carry cans of milk or baskets of but- '
ter.
I see the girl slmetimes ;she is per- ,
fectly well, never complains and never ,
asks for anything?except occasionally
for a warm petticoat, or a hood to <
keep her head and neck warm and dry !
when she Is working In the fields.
There are hundreds of girls doing that
work all over France.?Youth's Com- j
panion. ;

Made Clock Has Completely Gone
to the Bad.
My old alarm clock has gone to ,
smash. That may not be a news Item
nor it may not interest you, but up at
our home the fact th^t the alarm clock
wouldn't go any more was an event of 1
Interest. It was ticking away on the '
8heJ( at a Quarter to 11 the night of
July 17. I took it up to wind it. One ;
twist, and?rattletebank, slss boom ah. j
Something went all to pieces in the '
works.
More twists, shaking, putting the ;
clock to ear and final determination that
it was done for. I thought to ,
look It over before depositing it in the ]
ash can. On the back was scratched '
the month and day of the purchase In j
1912. I was looking on the face for ,
the last time and studying it closely.
Then down at the bottom I saw In <
small letters: "Made in Germany." (
There It had been ticking away on the
shelf year after year, sounding its !
alarm regularly, and yet never before <
had I noticed that detested Inscription.
Probably if I had it would have gone
ir.to the ash can long before.
Titat lltra n lnt nf nther "Made in
Germany" things that we didn't know ,
were around until we found them out ?
But the old German clock Is busted, the
works have gone to smash, It has '
sounded its last alarm, and as I raedi
tated on it I thought how true of j
everything else "Made In Germany," ,
Including the Juggernaut war machine, ]
40 years In the building, with which
the kaiser was to ride untrnmmeled <
over all the rest of the world. The !
works "Is busted."?E. E. K., In Syracuse
Post-Standard.
Mustard Gas Invented Here.
The report that an American Inventor
laid before an agent of the bureau
of mines 15 months aeo a form
ulu for mustard gas, which the Germans
are now supposed to be using, Is
to be taken up by the American In- j
ventors' association. The allegation <
brought to the attention of the asso- <
elation at Its meeting the other day i
was to the effect that Benjamin P. '
Brooks, chief chemist of the Commer- 1
clal Research company of Flushing, L. (
L, gave a formula to the government j
bureau and heard nothing more from .
It A few months ago It was found
Germany had hit upon the gas, according
to F. J. Hemen, president of the i
association.?Washington Star. j
.?- <
Fewer Japanese Silks. t
Just as we had learned to value Jap- 1
anese silks and crepes and so on, es- (
peeially as substitutes in these times *
of shortage of .so innny materials, we ^
hear that certain ships engaged In the (
Eastern trade, and that brought us |
these serviceable and charming ma- <
tenuis, nave Deen loaned to tne nn- <
perlal government, anil that has created
a scarcity In transportation facilities.
So georgettes, crepe de .
chines, and so on, ore added to the list .
of growing scarcities and advancing
prices. Added to this, little silk is
coming from the French und Italian
markets.
Her Record Still Still. J
A certuln family lias a colored serv
ant who, while very attentive to her (
duties, has never been known to give <
anybody a civil answer. Purely as an <
experiment, the lady of the house l
brought her a new calico dress, and 1
gave it to her, saying: ' J
"I am glad to have the pleasure,
Matildy, or giving you uus areas."
"Yor uiout hah had <lat pleasure
long st of yer had any regard fo' ray
feolinsr:." was the gracious reply.?
