Romance, Adventure and Action in In no war in the past have the elec- tric signaling systems covered so many square miles or such a great di- versity of requirements., The com-| - manding general wants to know how a certain division is progressing; an artillery captain wants to' ascertain just where his shells are dropping; these and a million other facts must be transmitted every hour of the day along the hundreds of miles of ttlefront, says the Electrical Ex- perimenter. And it is really marvel- ous how the army signal corps have perfected their _fraillocking wires and instruments so that they will work under the most unfavorable con- ditions, Romance, adventure, action --all of these ¢ome to the signal corps man in the pursuit of his duties more than ever before. To-day hé may in- stall a telephone switchboard in a cheerful little town near grand head- 4 quarters, situated a dozen miles back] ¢ of the battlefront. To-morrow he may be stringing wires through a shell- swept forest. One case will serve to show the lottery-like chance these men take. An English military line- man had been busy for several weeks in a district near the Aisne battle- front. He had completed straighten- ing out a perfect jungle of wires and circuits. His captain came along and ' was pleased to learn that all of the = circuits had been tested out without losing a man. The same captain was frieved to hear the next day that this ve lineman, his work done, had been picked out of a pole top by a stray shell. ---- ..

A Way to Discover Whether Middle- man is a Real Necessity. Two dollars and forty cents was the ao [edition of Sir William nuch attention to the 2 Yliropen and its relation to crop [es Rd ag " 4 aad ion of liam Crookes' mono- graph, "The Wheat Problem," which 26 years ago and was evi- dently read understandingly by no_one except the Germans, In this little book Sir William pointed out that the population of the world was steadily increasing while the area suited to the production of wheat was nearly all developed, There- fore it became a mere mathematical calculation to determine just how long it would be before the human race would begin to be hungry for wheat. But since Sir William Crookes' the- sis was first published a second factor has entered into the problem. Millions of men who used to bé engaged in the cultivation of the soil have gone to war and by the use of explosives have been for the past three years liberat- ing at an almost incredible rate the supplies of nitrogen which in a sane and normal order should have gone to enrich the soil, Thus the human race is hurrying itself on toward starvation by two direct methods. It is not cultivating foodstuffs and it is destroying the chief element of which fertilizers are made. The greatest supply of nitrates in the world is found in the Chilean nitrate-of-soda deposits. 'But these are not inexhaustible and the war has been drawing upon them for explo- sives at the rate of nearly 8,000,000 tons per year. Germany long ago foresaw the dane ger and developed facilities for fixing the free nitrogen of which the at- mosphere is partly composed, The method employed requires enormous mechanical power, such as {is repre- sented by swift-running streams or great waterfalls. So, when the war put an end to Germany's commerce, that country was not. wholly depend- ent upon nitrogen imported from for- eign countries, es Righteous Wrath. There are many kinds of hate, as many kinds of fire; And some are fierce and fatal with murderous desire; And some are mean and craven, re- vengeful, selfish, slow, They hurt the man that holds them more than they hurt his foe. And yet there is a hatred that purifies the heart, The anger of the better against the baser part, \ Against the false and wicked, against the tyrant's sword, Against thé enemies of love, and all that haté the Lord. O cleansing indignation, O flame of righteous wrath, Give me a soul to see thee and follow in thy path! Save me from selfish virtue, arm me for fearless fight, And give me strength to carry on, a soldier of the Right! --Dr. Henry Van Dyke. -- i Back Yards and Vacant Lots. price paid for a bag of potatoes by a Kingston lady, according to a recent press report. One of the potatoes had a card attached signed by the farmer who grew them, which said: "I sold at $1; what did you pay?"
