PREDICTS HEIGHT OF TIDES
I
One of the many duties undertaken
by the I’aued States coast and gee
dene survey, which thrushes official
safortnation about our sea coast and
harbors tor the use ot mariners ply ms
these waters, is that ot predicting the
tides at any given station at any time
in the future To gam this tnforma
tion a new machine of a very oomph
rated nature has us; twc« ooiistmcted
by the bureau and placed in operation
m the headquarters at Washington
The tide levels tor a year can tie ob
tained in front tots m fifteen hours tor
any station To the lay man the nut
chine appears to !>* a mass of little
wheels, knobs, crank > chains and
glittering brass indicators, but the
new superintendent of the bureau, l>r.
K la»ster Jones explains the functions
of each part and finally arrives at the
mil of paper on one end on w hich tw ■>
fountain pens are drawing lines. One
of tiiese draws a line about the middle
of the roll which represents the mean
sea level while the the other draws a
varying line which represents the
tide From this graphic record,
which is 370 feet long and about six
inches wide, representing the tides for
a year, the tide level at any time in
that period can be readily ascertained

According to the laws of war, any
civilian who is found with arms in
his possession is liable to be shot
without mercy. Although this seems
a very severe rule, it is absolutely nec
essary for the safeguarding of the
whole civil population.
The rules of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants un
less they wear a distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized. If it
were not for this, any number of men
could at any time band themselves
together, and say they were belliger
ents. If this were allowed, therefore,
invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing
every man in villages through which
they marched.
This particular rule is so stringent
that even a noncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wife against
some drunken soldier would be liable
to be shot.

C-1ted Stales Electricians Consider

The practice." says the Scientific
American, "of rlacing the two con- i
ductors of circuits within a metallic
tube or conduit was necessarily fol
lowed by a rule of the National Elec
tric Code requiring that this conduit
be continuous from outlet to outlet,
and permanently grounded, lest the
insulation become abraded and there
be a leakage from the conductors to
the conduit. But in central stations
with a grounded neutral wire, there is
practically no difference of potential
between that wire and the grounded
conduit. Hence the insulation about
this neutral wire may be dispensed
with or put on the potential wire to
increase the margin of safety. Hav
ing arrived at this point, there is no
reason why the bare grounded wire
within the conduit should not be dis
pensed with and the conduit itself be
used in its place. Thus we arrive at
the concentric wiring.”

Jot Stecker.
Cutler has wrestled all the big men
of the wrestling game, and has han
dled them all in the same manner that
Joe Stecker has handled his oppo
nents. Chas. Cutler, besides being
one of the greatest living athletes, is
a refined, high-class, well educated,
well-read gentleman.
Mr. Cutler's manager. \Ym. Ro
chelle. a very prominent and wealthy
business man of Chicago, takes pr de
in the fact that lie is handling Mr.
Culler s affairs, and it is said that h<“ j
takes no remuneration for his serv
| ices. Mr Rochelle thinks that there
is no living at: lete capable of taking
Chas Cutler's laurels away from him.
The sentiment in Nebraska for Joe
Stecker is so well known and so
strong that it will be hard to impress
Charley Cutler.
i anyone that there is a man living
| who can heat Joe Stocker, and the
| same sentiment prevails in Chicago
] regarding t'has. Culler. It is plainly
j seen that each of the contestants have
numerous admirers and followers, and
i the attendance at this match wil with
j out doubt be the largest of any cham- ;
i pionshlp bout in this country.
The purse of $15,060 offered is the '
| largest purse ever offered in the west-1
i ern country for an athletic contest,
and considering this large purse and
the well-known ability of the contest
ants. the good, clean reputations of
the referee and the promoter, will
without doubt make it the most pop
ular championship contest ever staged
in the west.

Bavarian Best Soldier.
St Quentin. France.—For genera
tions the Bavarian soldier has sus
tained the reputation of being one of
the best fighting units in the world.
He has always been, in the eyes of
his opponents, a very terrible' man to
be pitted against. His name has been
synonymous with military efficiency,
and. especially during the present war.
his enemies have whispered more than
that about him. Many do not know
or will not believe that the Bavarian
has any other side than to w in at any
price.

What Interested Him.
I'ncie Ben Bamstraw’s city nephew
took him into a fire station one night
just in time to see the fire laddies
shinning like squirrels down a pole
from their quarters overhead. “Come
on. uncle, we'll go to the fire,” the
nephew suggested. “I don't want to
go.” replied the uncle “I want to
stay here until they come back, so I
can see them scoot back up the pole
again."—Judge.
The Proudest Moment.
“Oh no! A fellow's proudest mo
ment was not the time he came out
on top in his first scrap with “the kid

he “saw" Mary Jane home from the
party. Nor. again, was it when she
“named the day.”
It wasn't when he made his biggest
business deal; got his largest raise;
became a partner in the concern and
was paying an income tax
And white this, too* was a proud mo- j
meat the proudest of all was not
when the first-born came, nor was it

U was sunset. Along the line there
seemed to come a lull. Heavy guns
paused as though in reverence. Field
pieces observed silence as if for a
moment's devotion on this new day of
Pentecost.
Strangely the strange. almost weird
silence was broken. Spontaneously
the troopers began "La Marseillaise,"
at first singing softly and then break
ing into a roaring refrain as the words
ran along the battle front in the great
est chorus the world has ever heard.
"Allons enfants de la patrie," they
thundered. "Le jour de globe est ar
rive!”
The roaring song startled the be
lated field larks long since grown used
to belching cannon. They rose and
soared wildly above the trenches.
Instinctively the Germans in the op
posite trenches knew what this thun
derous choru^ meant. They did not
need to read the placards piinted by
the French in the night and posted
on top of the trenches for German
persual at dawn. They shouted back:
"Gott Strafe Italien.”
Then from the German trenches
came the strains of "Die Wacht Am
Rhein" and shortly afterward the rat
tle of bullets. The Germans were rid
dling the French placards.

sent as among the delights of the im
mortals the felicity of feasting and
drinking to drunkenness from the
skulls of^.he foes they had vanquished
on earth. Mandeville goes further, and
represents the Guebres as exposing
the dead bodies of their parents to the
fowls of the air until nothing but the
skeletons remained, and preserving
the skulis to be used as drinking cups.
