JANUARY 27, 1916.-6 PAGES $1.50 Per Annum More Kelowna Boys Go Ioto Training at Vernon Kolowna'ti resources in men for active service seemn to be unlimited. For the past year and a half Kelowna has been pouring out a steady stream oi men for service at home and abroad and some time ago it was thought she had about exhausted her supply. The local contingent, however continues to increase in numbers daily aud besides this sho sent on Tuesday lest five moro of her popular young men into training for the new cavalry rryi- ment which is being form,ed undar tie command of Col. Terry at Vomon. These were Claud Newby, Elisha Bailey, Harnmn Willits, Stanley Wade and August CasorBO, all of whom formerly belonged to the 102nd R.M.R.'s. A good crowd was gathered at the wharf to shake their hands and wish them success and a safe return from the duties they have gone to discharge. The feeling, however, was generally more oheerful than the goodbyes said to former boys departing as it was understood that they were only going as far as Vomon nQd would all probably be soen in Kelowna several timos on leave lieforc departing for servioe abroad. . On Monday night the boys were given a royal farewell by the members of the fire brigade, to which b0dy all five belonged, when all the present and past members in the oity mot at the fire hall and passed a very pleasant evening with songs and music, cards and games of various kinds, followed by speeches ftnd topped off with i, sumptuous i fowl supper. It was well on it the woo sma' 'oors before the gathering dispersed nftor the singing of "God Savo the King." Thrilling Drama to be Shown Id Pictures It ia probably too early in tho hi�� tory ol the moving picture photography. Bays a recent issue of the "Mnil and Empire," to u that any film is the "last word" in photo-play production. It can be safely said, however, thut "Tho Birth of a Nation" (whioh .will bo at thu Kelowna Opera House. February 3rd), represent, tho highest accomplishment that has yet been seen locally on the screen. Mr. 1). W. Griffith's production gives some idea of the many advantages that the pictures have over tho stage for presenting certain types of stories. Where variety, action uftd spectacular bigness are necessary, the stage lms alwsys failed to be quite adequate, but there is no limit to the possibilities that lie within the scope of the pictured drama. For example, the battle scones and tho assassination of Lincoln, as shown in "The Birth of a Nation," might be photographs ol actual occur rences, so realistic are they in every detail. The production, us everyone is awaro, has been based upon Thomas Dixon's novel, "Tho Clansman," and as those who remember the story might expect, it shows a decided sympathy for the gallant and suffering ���outh. The first half treats the story of the Civil War, and the second half deals with the reconstruction period, when tho conquered wero ground down and unjustly treated by the unohivnl- rous viotors. In theso pictures tho Ku Kluit Klun is shown fighting for the rights of tho whites ugainst black domination. Against the historia background two love stories are told, as well as the futo of the Cameron family,'a devoted Southern household. The photo-play is undoubtedly a great achievement. It is thrilling in the talo that it tolls, and there is no pause in the exciting action, maly of tho pictures are remarkably fine, both those treating big scenes and thoso in which the individual players ��� figure prominently. The Rev. A. Dunn is to give a Inn- tern lecture on Monday evening in Knox church on "India." Mr. Dunn was for several years a resident in that land of marvel and mystery and can talk i��� a most interesting way of what ho saw there. The lecture is to be given under tho auspices of the Young People's Sooiety. Tho Geographical ' Survey has est! mated the avnilablo water power of the United States from 36,000,000 to 66,500,000 horsepower, not inoluding the power that could be conserved by reservoirs.

Will Withold Part of Soldiers' Wages Until Return The following order appears in the Militia Gazette: "It has been found neoessary in the interest of discipline and in the interest of the men themselves to withhold a portion of the pay of troops on oversoas servioe until their return *���- Canada. 'From January 1st therefore, 50 pa oent. of tho pay of tho rank and iui will be withheld from those who havo not made any assignment of pay. "As regards those who haw assigned less than 50 per cent, of their pay. the difference only between the portion assigned and 50 per cent, of thebe pay is to be withheld. "The pay so withheld will 'je pa.c1 to tho nuu in Canada at the tormiu* tion of their engagement, but in the case of men invalided home, tho overseas paymaster, London, is author1*-*, to issue it before the soldier mils if the hitter so desires." A despatch to the Paris Tempi from Bucharest dated January 16th, Bays: "Thy German and Austrian grain buy> ers in Koumunia are dismayed to find that tho British government agents have quietly bought up more than half of the stock of wheat available for export. During a Carman attempt to turn the Russian flank in the Drisviaty district the Russians withdrew unpercoiv ed, with the result that the German flanking columns came into collision and inflicted . heavy losses on each other before tho mistake was discovered, Availing themselves of tho confusion, the Russians then attacked successfully and expelled the Germans. Extracts from jecent sermons in Germany just published in London by the "Methodist Times-' have a curiously barbaric tone as quotations from two of them show, Dr. Seeberg, professor of theology in the University of Berlin, said in one of these: "Germany, in killing her enemies and invading their territories, is simply performing a work of charity. Germany loves the other nations and is punishing them for their own good." Pattoi PMlippi of Berlin said: "As tho Al mighty allowed His Son to 1k�� crucified to redeem mankind so Germany is destined to crucify humanity .to secure its salvation. It is because we are pure that we were chosen by tho Almighty to bo His instruments to slay the sinful nation* It. !s the duty of German soldiers to strike without meroy. Half measures would bo wicked. Satan himself, who has come into tho world in th* form of England, must bo crushed." Local Anglicans Hold Annual Vestry Reports for Past Year Show improvement in Finances The unnual general vestry tneo&iug of St. "atibhael and All Angels' Parish was held on Tuesday afternoon, 20th inst.j in the parish room. The attendance was not as large as usual; the prevalence of la grippe being responsible for the absence ol a number of members. Tho rector presided rtnd opened the meeting with prayer. The minutes of the last general mooting were read and adopted. The ice- tor then read his report in which he reviewed tho work of the parish dur'ng the past year. He referred with gratification to the successful issue of the church wardens' management of the finances of the parish. In this they wero ably assisted by the church committee. Well deserved praise was given to the Women's Auxiliary, and the Chancel Guild for their continued ard increased work for tho parish; their untiring labors having made a substantial addition to the funds.

We are very proud ol tho response our parish has made (a the call <>f King and Country. The Church Warden's report was read by Mr. G. A. Fisher. It was encouraging to lie in a position to announce an improvement in the parish funds. Tho bant loan, the mortgage, and the lumber account havo* all been reduced; all arroftrs of city taxes have been paid, and the current accounts met to the end of the year. That the warden's wore able to cope with what was a really difficult situation, was largely owing to tho help given in the various wftys mentioned in the rector's report. The Congregation was cordially thanked for thoir generous response to the Calls made on their purse and hop'1 was expressed that the coming year Would be even better than last The election of officers was then proceeded with. Messrs. F. A. Tnylor. P. DuMoulin and Dr. Boyee wore elected Lay delegates to tho synod, the substitutes being Messrs. L. K. Taylor, CI, A. Fisher and F. M. Carruthers.

The .attendance was not as large as was expected, but this no doubt was on account of the very cold weather. Rutland is to be occupied tonight by tho Allied troops, or at any rate, by that section of them which is training in Kelowna. They aro not likely to meet with much opposition when they march out from town, or to need anything in the way of "artillery preparations." All tlve preparation is being done by Midland and Ellison people, who have accumulated huge stores of "good eats" to give the boys a feast. �� ��� The Ladies' Guild of St. Andrews church hold their annual meeting on Thursday last at the homo of Mrs. A. W. Dalgleish. Tho officers elected for the coming year were: Pres. Mrs. Leithoad; Vice-Pres. Mrs. Storehouse; Secy.-TreuB. Mrs. Johnston.

Mrs. Leit- head in n few well chosen words, voiced the gratitude of the ladies for her pa��t faithful services as secretary'trea- surer and wished her many years of happiness while Mrs. Dalgleish handinl her tho gift. Miss Fitzpatrick in accepting tho gift expressed her hearty thanks to tho ladies. Tea was then served and a pleasant social hour en- oyed. , It has been suggested that the women and girls of Kelowna should do all they can to seo thnt the boys of tho 172nd arc given useful articles which aro not included in usual outfit. There are several boys and men training in town to whom a "Hold all" will be a great boon. As several have no peoplo of thoir own hero it is hoped they will be provided equally .with those who have mother's and sistor's to work for them. The girls are taking up tho idea with th- h?lp of the women nnd hope to have their plans ready in another week, so please watch next week's paper, when full information will bo given as to cost of material, pattern and fittings. The idea is a useful one and it is hoped to have a complete outfit for every man training for overseas in Kelowna Information has reached SwiUe.'umd through travellers that a republican party of considerable power has been formed in Germany. The party will publish shortly a sensational manifesto in Zurich. The. aspirations of these 'republicans' will lake many moons to realize from present appearances. Great Northern trarn No. 25, the Casdado Limited from Spokane was struck by a snowslido near Coreft station on tho west slope of the Cascades, near the summit last Saturday morning. Tho train was standing still when hit. The dining car and the day coach received the full forco of the avalancho and were carried down an embankment 300 feet. All the persons in tho two cars wore killed or injured, British Slid Lead in ihe Air Tho assertion made b>; a section of the British press that the German uer- ial service recently has been perfected to such a point as to surpass that of tho British, is not endorsed by Harold J. Tennaut, parliamentary under-sec- retary for war who was questioned on this subject Friday afternoon in tho House of Commons. Mr. Tennant said the military authorities wore satisfied that British airmen had given a good account of themselves i,, recent fighting. The German method of fighting in tho air�� Mr. Tennnnt continued, is of n defensive nature. Tho new Fokker monoplane which has been described in tho press as superior to that of the Allies, is well adapted for defensive w0rk, the under-secreeary explained bur is incapable of making long flights. If the Germans adopted tho offensive and went bch'nd the British lines, he thought they would meet machines quite equal in efficiency und superior to the Fokker. Nehrly all fights in the air occur on the German side of the line, Mr. len- nunt added, and therefore when '.here aro Casualties, "tho Germans, while concealing thoir own, can .idvorliso ours."

Armories Leading in Hockey League The present week has seen no games played in tho Kelowna City Hockey League owing to the fact that so many of the players have been under the weather with the common ailment "la grippe." Two games, however were played last week-end resulting in the Barrack8 winning from the Fire Brigade on Ihursday and the Armories defeating tho Barracks on Friday. The Armories team now have a comfortable lead and with only one more game to play look like easy winner. A valuable trophy has recently been put up for tho winners of the league by the Oak Hall Clothing Co., consisting of a splendid pair of kid gloves for each player of the winning club. The gloves are now on exhibition in the window of the local clothing firm and are surely-worth playing for, especially with the temperatures of tho present winter. Following are brief reports of the two games played last week: THURSDAY'S GAME Last Thursday afternoon the Barracks and the Fire Brigade played' off their postponed game, the former winning by a score of -1 to I. At times the game was very fast, and some brilliant individual rushes and stick handling threatened the Barracks and the Fire Brigade boys pressed them hard in tho second period and took numerous shots at the Barracks goal, most of which went wide, and to this fact the Firo Brigade boys owe their defent. The Barracks, however played good hookey and kept up a pace too fast for the Fire Brigade to follow. During tho third period the Firemen wore pretty well tited out but the Barracks still kept up their dizzy pace, thus winning easily. Albert Raymer was the real "star of the game and secured most of tho goals for the Barracks club. FRIDAY'S GAME On Friday evening the Barracks appeared against the Armories and this timo were defeated by tho score of 8 to 3. With both teams made up from the ranks of the 172nd, all well-trained and hardened men a good game was expected, and non> were disappointed. A largo crowd were on hand when the game was finally started with Mr. D. A. McDonald in eliarge. At the sound of the whistle both clubs settled down for a hard gamo as both realized that condition would not play as'prominent a part in this game as against either of the other clubs and the play was very fast, with the forwards working hard and the puck travelling rapidly from one end to the other. The defence also Came in for their share of the hard work, and many critical situations were over come by their fine work. The forward line of the Armories, however got together and started in on the splendid combination play which had been1.' the feature of tho previous week's games and finally found tho net for the first the period closed. In the second period the Barracks succeeded in securing tw0 goals while tho Armories added one moro, leaving tho score at the end 8 t0 2 in favor of tho Armories. Shortly after the start of the third period the Armories scored again, but immediately after the face off the Barracks again found tho net and wore working hard to even the score when the Armories forward combination again got busv and for a time shots foil like hail stones on the opposition goal tender, who, however made numerous splendid saves, but the shooting continued so rapid "and from aU angles that ho was powerless and for a time the goal umpire's hand was raised and lowered as though he were do^ng some strenuous physical exercise. During this oxoiting period the Armories had secured no less than five goals nnd the Barracks found themselves unable to ovorcome the tremendous lead settled down to a defensive game and in tho fow remaining minutes of play no more goals wero scored. The final score wan Armories 8, Barracks 3.

In mineral production Canada h:is mad.' numerous advances, Copper and zinc refining plants have been established at Trail, B.C., und are treating native ores. Improvements have l>een made in certain steels to enable them to bo used for shell purposes. Improvements have also been made in the. concentration ot molybdenum ^rj-'S, the molybdenum being used in the manufacture 0f big gun linings and high speed lathe tools. The recovery of benzol from by-product coko ovens has been developed. Benzol is used in the manufacture of explosives. In western Canada the discovery of phosphate of lime in Rocky Mountains park should prove of great value to the agricultural interests. Canada's fisheries havo received especial attention, not only in the production but in the marketing. Both ou the Atlantic und Pacific coast advances hav0 been made. Due to conditions brought about by tho war, Canada last year placed her fish upon tho British market, and it is hoped th^t Home species may be permanently established there. The past year has been an era of awakening in C'anuda and earnest endeavor has been made to eliminate waste, not only in manufacturing but in mining and in the development of all our natural resources.

The public will welcome tho new is' aue for l'J16 of "5,000 FuctB About Canada," the popular and valuable cyclopedia of Canadian dates, compiled by Frank Yoigh of Toronto, the well-known writer and lecturer of the Dominion. No up-to-date and inteUi- ircnt Canadian can afford to be without this "hardy annual," which is a revelation in concrete form of the wonderful growth of our country in H single year, despite war conditions; indeed, it circulates all' over the world, and SB such is a splendid advertisement. The chapter of "War Facts" is, by the way, both timely and illuminating. Fifty other chapters arc devoted alphabetically to every phase of our national liTc, from agriculture to the Yukon, while several sketch maps are of high vnlue.

'Ihe use of aeroplanes for forest fire fight'n/ in the province is one of tho matters taken up in the annual report of the Quebec department of lands and forests. W. C. J. Hall, superintendent of the forest protection department, in his report states that ho made a study of aeroplanes (mm (he point of view of Mb department, and had come to the conclusion that they would be of great bin."it to locate fires and enable them to be localized. However, he found that tho colt would be ot prwnt prohibitive, but later wten the cost of the machines dropped they could be used servioeably by the government for forest protection. "Our Monarch's hindmost year but ono, Had five and twenty days begun, 'Twas then a blast o' Janwat win; Blew hansel in on Kobin." "Stands Scotland where it did?" Tho 25th of January has come and _gone. In and around Kelowna are a large number of Scots, yet, they have let the immortal memory of Hums pass unnoticed, none Poor eoough evidently, to do him roverencc. That tho son of an obscure peasant, bom in poverty, and whose life throughout spelled misfortune and disappointment, should have captivated the affections 0f not only his own countrymen, but practically those of the whole world, demonstrates etTec lively the magic of Hum's genius. Although a Scotsmnn by birth and writing largely in the Scottish dinlect Scotland can no more claim htm tjr her own than can England lay e-elusive claim to Shakespeare. The fruit of their genius is a gift and the common property of the world. Nothing was too common or *oo humble for Burns lo see beauty and goodness in it.

He seemed to find sermons in stones, books in the 11 u- n'ng brooks and good in everything, Hut nothing appeared to move liii.i so much a8 the contemplation d the beauties, the graces and the virtues of the mir, the "sweet winsomeness of women" as the writer once heard it put: The poet gives expression to this somewhat humorously but neatly withal in the following verse: "Auld nature swears the lonely dears Her noblest Work she classes, 0;. Her 'prentice ban1 she tried on man An' then she made tils lasses, 0" 1 trust my brother Scots in this district will not let another Hums anniversary pass without in some suitable way paj/n? a tribute to tho memory of the great but humble liolibic Burns. How splendidly women arc acquitting themselves in connection with tho war, is, from its frequent utterance, becoming a commonplace thing to say notwithstanding, 1 am Constrained to say it, and I am prompted to do so, by my admiration of local effort in this direction. The Kelowna Susies who arc sewing shirts and knitting socks, etc., for the soldiers aro a "usy bunch. Report has it that not only arc their hands and heads busy, but that their tongues arc not idle either. This may or may not be so, but ol my own positive knowledge I "in sii\- that the outcome of their labors will be a great increase in the comforts, of our brave lads at the front. # .

Soils that are nabumllv poor frequently yield larger crops thall Superior soils if they (ire -ivtn better tillage. All soils may be greatly improved by tillage. U is claimed by many agricultural lei tiers that the annual yield ot farm pro* ducts in this country could be mote than, doubled *n ten years by a more intensive system of culture. Plowing is the foundation of tillage As a rule, we are plowing too shallow to obtain the best results, but tho deepening ot the soil should be gradual, for turning up too Urge quantities of sub-soil nnd turning the organic matter under so deep that the air. heat and water cannot act favorably upon it ha8 ruined many ;teils* for yoars to eome. Farm crops as a rule are givatly benefitted by deep seed beds. At no time tdiould hard pan. be allowed 1|o form at plow depth. Where shallow plowing is desired a subsoil plow can sometimes be used to advantage hi:I its use requires the evercise of mdg mont as the process may prove ��� ery injurious if done out of season, As a ���general rulo'ij is best to use the ;"ib soil p'o.v in tin* full,* w'heu the m:��soil is fairly dry tlnd may in a measure be rccompacted by th:* winter ram. The spring subsoiling is seldom advisable in humid regions, owing to the danger ot puddling tho subsoil or to the possibility nf its remaining too 'ooso for beat root development if the work is done when the subsoil is dry enough not to puddle. On (l well drained field deep plowing is beneficial during both wet and dry seasons, f'n wet soils shallow plowing is preferable. A deep soil has greater crop producing rapacity than u shallow one, since it furnishes ideal conditions for plant icots to go down after food and moisture. Tn selecting ploWfl, harrows and cul- tivatoes we should study their construction. Tn th;1 process of tillage or manipulation of the soil it is available plant food that we are alter. We want implements that in e/ery process of tillage will get at thP plant food that is still in the soil and make it available for the growing cropB. There is no reasonable excuse for n mnn to spend mon��y on commercial plant food until he has provided means by which the food already in the soil can become available. The chief object of tillage is the further liberation of the plant food which still eaists very abundantly in thn land. After we hav(�� thoroughly manipulated our Boil and put it in th> finest possible condition for the reception of the, seed nnd various fertilizing elements the next important object of tillage is the conservation of soil moisture.

German Snipers and Their The ingenious disguises adopted by the German sniper do not always aid him in his work. An instance of this is given by a wounded British soldier recently returned from the front, who was wounded at the taking of Hilt 70 and lay on the slopes for two days before reaching help. Scattered hero and there ovor the slopes of tho Hill, ho says, wero a number of our wounded. Some lay where they had fallen; others able to creep were painfully dragging themselves along, and ��� fow who had lain stunned during the first day of the battle got up on the second day anJ attempted to'walk back to our lines. They staggered, most of them, like drunken men. There seemed to be snipers everywhere. A man would rise to his kneeB, then roll over with a fresh wound. A walker would suddenly collapse on all fours or drop flat as if killed. , In the distance the rattle of machine guns, a muffled oheer as some counter attack was beaten baok, or the bang of a shell near at hand' prevented the detection of the position of the snipers by the crack of their rifles. I had lam thero all night on Saturday with a temporary bandage round my head. When dawn broke I was chilled to tho bono. On attempting to rise I was dizzy and weak from the loss of blood, but thinking our stretcner bearers would soon be out on the hill side I lay flat again and tried to get some sleep. Tho Bun wbb beginning to warm me, and after a fow hours I felt revived and my senses cleared. Rising my head 1 saw some of our men lying motionless near me. They wee,, dead, poof ohaps! A fellow within ten yards of me moaned, and I shouted to him to ohoer up. All the answer 1 got was a groan. To my right a man got up to walk, and I saw blood spurting from his right temple as he fell forward dead. A sniper hud shot him. Five minutes later 'another man near mo moved. He had struggled t0 his knees and had planted one foot on the ground, when ho seemed stnrtled by something 0n his left and lay gown again quickly in the long grass. I followed his example, dropping my head and lying low. In a little while 1 looked in the direction of the place where the other fellow li���d fallen flat Near the spot I bsw the grass move and concluded ho was crawling back to our old lines. At another spot, 20 yards behind him, the grass was also moving. But in this case the movement was peculiar. Instead of the grass falling to one side aB it doeB when a body moves through it, the grass movod forward itself. After a few minutes the peculiar movement of the grass stopped, and I thought, "Poor fellow, he is either exhausted or dead." I was about to crawl ovor ia his direction when the grass moved again, this time towards me. It dawned on me that there was something very suspicious about the whole affair, for that lump of grass was rising up and down as it oarriod by someone. Instinctively I put down my head and watched it through the top of the gross. My rifle lay beside me where I had lalleo when wounded. I groped for it and pushing it out in front where it would bo handy for firing, I felt much safer, but not less suspicious. All the time I had my eye on the moving mound, now | about,fifty yards away. A little lo its left a khaki figure raised itself, then almost immediately collapsed. 1 had seen enough t0 make me take aotion. I took good aim and fired throe volleys rapidly. That mound of grass, tumbled to one 'side, rolled over and lay still. Still pushing my rifle in front of me I orawled over to the ���"pot. But there was really no need for caution now. The German sniper lay on his back dead, with his ingenious grass covering beneath him. They were real sods of grass bound by many cordB to a waterproof sheet whioh was strapped to the sniper's baok. New Trench Cannon FIND STRANGE TRIBE D. Macfarlane PRUNING AND GRAFTING P.O. Box 397 Mm. A remarkable tribe of primitives who live in wigwams, live on meat and consider reading and writing an accomplishment has been discovered in the wilds of Siberia by the Siberian expedition of the University of Pennsylvania Museum. The first reports concerning this tribe, known as the "Tungus of Northern Siberia/' were received recently from London, where the expedition ia preparing a complete report of its 700- mile journey from civilisation in very low temperatures. The "Tungus" know nothing of an outside world, sayB tho report, nnd have no religion, sgv0 that they believe in certain good and evil spirits to be propitiated. They are Mongolians, and speak a highly inflected tongue, with n philosophy of life which is "eat much, laugh muoh," and says the report, .they live up to this dictum. They are enormous eaten, nnd STy full Of frtftt. The British army has given another sad surprise to its enemies.. It haB installed and it* already using a most effective trench weapon which is absolutely deadly to adversaries, and being automatically aimed by a periscope attachment, exposes those using it to no danger. Hundreds of these guns are now being made as rapidly as possible for the British government, and it is believed that they will revolutionize trench warfare. A romantic history attaches, it is said, to the invention of the gun. Eleven years ago an inventor named Stokee went to tho war office m London with the drawings of a new gun. He suffered the usoial fate of Buoh visitors to that institution. That is to say, he was politely ignored and each time he called was requested to corn- again, but ho never succeeded in seeing any responsible official. Being, however, of a persistent turn of mine, he refused to bo put off. Consequently the war office flunkeys, becoming very tired of his face, asked him ono day to leave his drawings. He did so. And when the persistent inventor subsequently renewed his importunate inquiries he was told that the matter was "under consideration." Up to a certain point the gun follows exactly the mediaeval instrument of warfare, but a twentieth century innovatian is seen in the prei- scope, which is attached to the barrel. By, an ingenious arrangement, as the gunner, by the preiscope, sights any particular object nt which he wishes to fire, so th0 gun Is trained and sighted automatically for that object. Automatic sighting, both for rifles and artillery, has long been prophesied by experts; this gun renders it an actual fact. Once sighted, another clever loading urrangement enables it to keep up an extremely rapid fire. When the gun is fixed an armor- plated roof is placed over it, so that the men firing it are almost immune from shell fire. When trench warfare became an accomplished fact Stokes went again to the war office and made himsolf a nuisance to the permanent officials. And by that time live people insisted on seeing Stokes and hearing what he had to say. They had tho drawings disinterred, examined them, enclosed a large spaco on a common near London, and told Stokes to go ahead, build a gun und show them what he could do. In a few weeks it was ready, and several of the heads of tho war office went to inspect it. They were absolutely satisfied and asked the inven tor how much he wanted for it. The money was paid over promptly and the orders put in hand at once. Stokes is still working in tho direction of one or two minor improvements. The inventor has come into his kingdom, and rejoices accordingly. Numerous staff officers of high rank, exeited by the reports of the new weapon have gone straight away to see it. ;They are met at the entrdnoo by Stokee. "Have you a permit from the master of the ordnance department?'' he asks. More often than not the ans wer is "No." "Then you get out quick" U thy p ply to those high military chiefs, Stokes is paying back those old time rebuffs with interest. After the success of Stokes' experiments tho idea occurred to one of the new men at the war affice thai perhaps a number of other useful inventions might bo resting in the pigeonholes of the war office desks. Accordingly the order went forth three weeks ago for a return to be made of all inventions submitted within tha last ten years. A small body of scientific c\perts were convened. They were given room iu the place taken over i��y Mr, Stokes, and were told to go ahead and investigate every feasible idea that had been sent,to the war office. As a result, several inventions of very great value have already been discovered. One relates to an . improvement in hand grenades, whioh will make their offsets very*" much more deadly. Anothor is a long, lightly armor- plated boats for landing purpftses This boat is fitted with a curved top, opening on hinges in the centre, which renders the crew almost immune from rifle Hre. A thousand of theso boats are already in process of construction, and in operations like the landing at tho Dardanelles should be of enormous importance. A Diving Projectile The Great French advance which is to clear the German invaders ���ut of Belgium and France will be pressed home just as soon as the army is sufficiently equipped with the new gun about which there has been so much talk of late in military circles. It is understood that nearly the n.uuber required are now in readiness, and when these big guns are brought to the front they are expected to make short work of the German trenches. Special interest in the character 0f these new gunB, which have not yet been officially disclosed, was aroused by the announcement regarding the diving projectile which is said to nave done so much towards clearing the seas of the German submarines. According to announcements, the now "Conan fuse," as it is called, is the most precious asset of the British admiralty today. Tho outstanding features of this fuse are described as follows: It WaB invented three years ago by an Irishman named Walter Con in, whose homo is in Dublin. It can be affixed to a shell fired from a gun or howitzer or to a bomb dropped UotD an aeroplane. In striking the water the projectile, of which the Conan apparatus forms a part, dives and explodes ;ti any pre-determined depth up to 30 feet below the surface. The shock of its explosion under water is sufficient to sink a submarine, uaui'.ly by making it turn turtle It is understood that a similar apparatus has been adapted and attached to tho projectiles used by the new large guns. Th.��y will be used againBt the German trenches, and instead of tho difficult task of turning the soldiers out of these retreats, it is expected that the French will dispose of tho invaders by burying large bodies of them in their own trenches. General von Hissing, German governor-general of Belgium has fined the city of Brussels 600,000 marks, says the Echo Beige, because the inhabitants of the city failed to reveal the name of the assassin of Oels Derodfc, the informer, whose testimony convicted Hiss Cavell, the English nurse who was executed Rt Brussels some Hnte Kgo.

VALUABLE SPECIMENS FROM THE FBOZEN NORTH Tales of exciting adventure and ol the acquisition of valuable specimens from the frozen north are reported to the Naval Service- Department at, Ottawa by D. Anderson of the southern party of explorer Stefansson. When the explorer comes baok to civilization he will bring tt ^'are collection of biological and zoological specimens, probably the most valuable of any ever brought out from the north. Dr. Jenness, the ethnographical expert of the party, has secured many phonographic records of Eskimo songs and their language. Moving pictures of the dimin'utive people have also been secured. Johanusen, the biologist of the party htts obtained an extensive collection of fauna und insects, while Anderson himself has secured five hundred specimens of birds, their eggB and nests, and photos of Arctic animals. Much of their collection has already Iwen shipped to Ottawa. * Geologists with the expedition surveyed the Arctic shorts from Cape Krusenstern to Cape Bathurst, and have rectified the coastline roughly laid down by the previous explorers. Anderson was caught in rhe ice oft Baillio island, where the ship waB forced to winter, During the winter of 1014 he attempted to get in touch with civiHzatidh at Fort Norman, on the Maokenzie river, but the show was so heavy that the attempt was abandoned. The Chinese rebels in the province of Yunnan have defeated a body of government troops and are moving northward. Facts About the Island of Cyprus Cyprus is one of the most important islands in the Medirerranean, suys a bulletin given out lately by the Na- tional Geographical Society, - whioh describes England's reported offer to the Greeks for their aid in the world war. There aro just two islands in tho broad inland sea larger than Cyprus, and these are Sicily and Sardinia. There are few islands in the world more rich in historical associations, and none, probably more coveted by powerful neighbors. The island lies in the mouth of u pocket formed by Asia Minor and Syria mainland to the north and to the east. It has an area of 3,584 square miles. A great part of the island is taken up by two mountain ranges, ono which fills much of the southern and central part, and the other of which stretches along the northern coast. The coast of Asia Minor lies forty- six miles to, the north, arid that of Syria between fifty ttnd sixty mile.* to the east, Although nominally a possession of the Ottoman empire up until the outbreak of hostilities be tween the Turks und the Allies, Gjj> rus has been administered by Great Britain since the Treaty of Berlin i�� 1878, and now forms an integral part of the British empire. Knglish occupation has done much to improve the conditions of health on tho island, as K has been a stimulus to commercial development. The mountains of the island are wild and beautiful, and upon their siett. the forests are still growing that w��ii�� famed and prized in early Egyptian times. They also contain the mines of copper, celebrated among the u*- eients, still richly productive, whioh gave the metal its name (copper being a derivative of Cyprus). The highest altitude is attained by Mount Troodes with a summit of-6,406 feet above sea level'. A wide valley runs east and west through the central part of the island This valley is about sixty miles long, with a breadth varying from ten to twenty miles. The mountain ranges on either side send their waters to the valley through intermit*!,t tori'-'nia. Much of this lowland is uncultivated, though in the northern part grain is grown. Tho soil of the whole 'alley' is good, and there is no reason why the uncertain water Bupply might not be supplemented bringing .'ill f tie land under cultivation. In the days when western civilization was in its swaddling cloths, '."'yprus was widely known for its iuipasftabie forests, which not only clo'lied ihe sides and summits of its mountains with thick, dark masses of green, but which overgrew the whole floor of tire valley between with such an interlacing sturdy tangle of trees and underbrush that it waB difficult, to clear the land for cultivation, The wonderful forests of the land however, in the more than 1,000 yearB of exploitation that have passed over them, have been almost entirely cut away. Those forests built the ships of Egypt, of Greek Syrian rulers, of Asi# Minor oities, and of Turks, and all that remains of their once much- heralded glory are the pine growths on the mountains. It is, nevertheless, tt valuable land. and much of its former splendor could be brought back to it by the proper administration aod development. The British have well begun tbi�� work of rehjabilitation. The population of tho island is estimated at 240,000, Greeks )and Turks. Tho chief towns are Nicosia, the capital, with 15,000 inhabitants, tho largest city, and Llmasal and I.arnaca. Most of the people gain their livelihoods by agriculture. The methods employed are almost as ancient as are the traditions of the island, and the inhabitants are sturdily opposed to innovation. Tho olive, muEberry, grain grapes and other fruits, oil seeds, cotton and all sorts of vegetables are grown. Irrigation workB have b<en undertaken for the reclamation of the soil, ��0 fruitful of old, and many acres have been brought back under cultivation. Cyprus does an annual trade ol about $1,600,000, It is handicapped in the development of its commerce owing to a want of natural harbors and to an eastern fatalism too thoroughly learned to permit of much initiative. Since the British occupation some energy has been brought into the little land but there stitl remains n great deal to be accomplished before a west-Europe commerce and business mahagement can become indigenous Great Britain administers Cypru* through a high commissioner with the power of a colonial governor.

How Spies are Trained The manner in which a spy is train ed lor his profession in the special uni verstty extension colleges in German} established for that purpose is graphically described in the Matin of Paris. One of the most flourishing of these, caUegoa, it is declared! is that of Lor- rac'h, in Bhdeii. The recruitment of pupils is carried on as follows: Advertisements skilfully inserted in the lists of situations vacant appear in the newspapers. Usually they are worded to this effect: "lliyhly remunerative situation offered to a person <>' trust having a good knowledge of Freueh, Knglish or Russians" On being provisionally accepted the candidate for employment is at oOoc drafted into the "university*" There a certain "herr doctor" takes him in band und Instructs him in the high scienco of depriving foreign nations of their military secrets. At the end ol la course which varies in length according to their ability, pupils are given a dipl(>ma testifying to their fitness for their official hino- tions, and shortly afterwards they emerge from their chrysalis state as full fledged functionaries figuring on the -alary lists of the empire.

'hi' of thefle means, among scores of other*, is the following: A spy pass- in^ through n town in Franco orEng- land observes the presence there ,,f four regimentb of infantry, two of oav- Wiiy the Serbs Fight On The fortitude and unflinching tndur- anoe of the Serbs furnishes proof of the virility of the race and jof the right of Serbia to rise again with Belgium and take its place in history as the homo of one of the little peoples of heroic mould. The SerbB fight not merely because liberty ig the breath of life to the mountaineer, but also because they have hideous wrongs to avenge. Mr. Perry Robinson, a war correspondent who recently returned from Serbia, has told of some of these horrors in articles in some leading American journals. Wero his statements about burning people at the stake not corrobbrated by the testimony of neutrul scicnticta they would bo incredible. Mr. Robinson tells of ono incomparably act of deviltry, perpetrated at the border city of Shaba tz by the Aus irians. "There was a curious exception to the universal wrecking, I visited the. place and saw it aB it Wat on the day the Austrians left. It Was the leading drug store of the town. The ownefj who had fled from the city and returned again when the Aust rions were driven out, expected that be would find" his stock as completely gone as that of any other eesi- dent. It js true thnt all tho fancy articles, the perfumes, soaps, and the things tor the toilet had been carried off, and the floor was covered with litter from the rummtlged drawers; but to his astonishment, in orderly- rows as he had left them on tho shelves ail around the walls, still stood tho largo glass jars containing the drugs. Ho was amazed that the Austrians had resisted the temptation to Btnash so many bottles; but chance led him to examine tho contents of the bottles and he found that they had been cafe fully mixradj and poison had been Introduced Into each jar of innocent medicine. It strikes one as being ingenious a piece of {rightfulness as has hem perpetrated in all the War��� the 'spirit of murder working in the very means of life.' " Is it to he wondered (lt that the Serbs fitrht on? id one of artillery, All the spy ha�� to do is ti\ underline on h page of his railway guide the name of the (own. after which he affixes a small prearranged sign beneath or at ono side of th' numbers, t, ~ nnd 1 appearing on the same 1KHMAN III'KO DIES FIGHTING IN BRITISH HANKS A remarkable slory of UoAV a ��L��r* man, named l.iebold, enlisted under the name of Maker, served for uine- teen years in the British army, rose to the rank of squadron sergeant- major in the Eleventh Hussars, and died the death of a hero in ''ranee while fighting against the country of his birth, is bidden behind he printing of a certificate of naturalization to his widow.

Some meetings are attended by as many as 16,000 people. At niirht much printed matter demand- Ing peace and making attacks on the government is distributed In Merlin Too often the faithful old farm horse is neglected and is not allowed his rightful share of the grain und hay Of course, it is right to suppose that the horses should be wintered as cheap ly as possible, but it should be remembered that he is entitled to a share of tho best the farm affords; to keep up his health and strength, and a comfortable shelter from the cold and wot of the season. Oat Straw in small proportions with timothy hay and oats is all right for the horse when not worked, but tho horse which is asked to d0 a day's work needs just as much consideration in winter as in the months while it is worked in the field. Clover hay which is free from mold and dust is the l>est aud most digestible thing for the horse. The horso enjoys a change of food and should have it n0w and then. A hot bran mash and a few sliced potatoes will be appreciated. Brood mares do we'd on a ration af oat straw and corn stalks to <pick at between meals. They should also receive a liberal feed of grain. A brood mare needs exercise in tho open atr every day as do all the horses, and it is a good plan to turn them in a small yard and give thorn ft ^w stalks to pick over; it will take up their attention and they will feel the cold less. Horses should never be allowed to eat from the straw stacks with tho cows, as it is not good for either tho cows or horses. Cattle often have bad colds, and the discharge from their nostrils is caught in the straw. Horses should not swallow it, as it 1b almost sure to create disease. On the other hand the cows do not enjoy being driven about by tho horses; who are nearly always "bossy" and do not allow the cows a chance to cat as they ought.
