"A Sound Box."
Take an ordinary rubber band and
stretch it between the thumb and fore
finger of your left hand. If you pick
It with the fingers of the right hand
and let go suddenly it will make a
sound which you can hear distinctly
enough yourself, but which will not be
audible to any one a few feet away.
But if you were to fasten the elastic,
with a pin at each end, to an empty
wooden box, only not so as to touch
the wood, and then twang it the sound
would be much louder than before.
That box is the sound box, or sound
board, and ali stringed instruments
have one in some shape or other.—St.
Nicholas.
The Greek Chureh.
What is known as the Greek church
is the church of the old eastern em
pire, which prior to the Turkish con
quest had its metropolis of Constanti
nople. whereas the West church had
Its capltol at Rome. The first dispute
between the two arose in the second
century regarding the lime of keeping

ADDING MACHINES.
They Are Not New, as Pascal Invented
One In the Year 1642.
The adding machine is of modern de
>vlopment, but not a modern Invention,
a passable one having been invented
in 1642 by Pascal (1623-1062), a cele
brated French geometrician, philoso
fther and writer. Later, in 1671, the
•jading machine was modified to facili
jate multiplication by Gottfried Wil
helm Leibnitz, a German matbemati
cian of great achievement, and his in
vention was followed by many im
provements.
A notable experimenter in this line
was Charles Babbage (1792-1871), an
English mathematician, many years
professor of mathematics at Cambridge
university. In order to secure accu
racy in tables of logarithms he con
celved the idea of doing the work by
machinery and was commissioned by
the British government to superintend
the constrlie'ion of a machine for the
purpose. Fe spent much time and
money in experimenting and attained
some remarkable results, but ded be
fore perfecting his machine.
All calculating machines contain cer
tain features devised by special refer
ence to the work to be done, including
circular metallic disks, wheels with
teeth, etc., ifigenious, but not more
complicated and no more responsive to
human intelligence than many othei
machines. The thinking is all done If y
tha operator.—Philadelphia Press..
NAVAL FIGHT SMALL ACTION
Believed That Baltic Affair Was of
Little Importance.
London, Sept. 17. —Although it Is ac
cepted in official circles that a naval
battle has been fought in the Baltic
between fifteen units of the German
Heet and the Russian Baltic fleet, nt
4 particle of information concerning
tlie outcome is obtainable.
Dispatches from Petrograd vaguely
rjfer to the presence of the Germans
in the Gulf of Finland and to their
bombardment of "unprotected posi
tions," but they are so badly mutilated
by the censor that their information
c.oes not enlighten.
Naval experts declare that they do
;iot believe the main Russian fleet
has been in action.
They declare that whatever fighting
has taken place lias undoubtedly been
between the smaller units of the
because the main German fleet \vou!c
hardly attempt to force the entrance
of the Gulf of Finland, which not only
has been mined, but is well protected
from the land with cross-fire fort
resses.
French Prisoners on Exhibition.

quoted as saying that French prison
ers at that city are enclosed in an

born French obliged to consort with
lew born Apaches, all eating at the
st me tables.

of Stefansson Expedition.
R dispatch received by the revenue
(Utter service from Captain Cochrau
of the revenue cutter Bear brings the
news that the cutter has rescued
night members of the SR.ansson ex
pedition, a part of which was cauglv
in the ice floes of the far northwest
about a year ago. Since tben the
members of the party who have sur

The names of two members of tlio
party who died are given and another
was accidentally killed. Eight others
sre missing. Stefansson himself be.
came separated from part of his expe
dition who were on the steamship.
Stefansson is still in the far north con
ducting his explorations on behalf oi
the Canadian government. Messages
have been received from him which
show that he and others of the orig
inal party are alive.
The following telegram was re
ceived last night from Captain Coch
ran of the revenue cutter Bear:

weather and heavy ice. Unable to
land on island. No signs of life."
A Comparison.
"Why is a clock like a pretty and
rain young lady?"
"I fail to see any resemblance.
Why?"
"Because It is all face and figure,
has no bead to speak of, is hard to
stop when once it is wound up and
has a striking way of calling atten
tion to Itself every hour of the day."—

FIGHTING FOE EYE TO EYE,
Charging Over Heaps of Bodies, Goin.
Almost Mad From Thirst After Giv
ing Horses Last Drop of Water — "A
Gentleman Has to Do That," Say*
Zouave Hero Wounded at Meaux.
"That is the story, without any re
touching of my pen. of a young lieu
tenant of zouaves whom 1 mot aftet
the battle of Meaux, with blood stih
splashed upou his uniform." says
Philip Gibbs of the New York Times
Lpndou Chronicle war service in a dis
patch from Creil.
Said this zouave, who was put out ol
action by a piece of shell:
"They did good things, those zouaves
of mine, but it wasn't pleasant work.
Yv'e fought from village to village, very
close fighting, so that sometimes wc
could look into our enemy's eyes. The
Moroccans were with us. The uativc
troops are unlike my boys, who are
Frenchmen, and they were like demons
with their bayonet work. "
"Our gunners were shelling Germans
from pillar to post, as it were, and
strewing the ground with their dead.
It was across and among these dead
bodies that we infantry hud to charge
Quick Firers' Clover Style
"The enemy's quick tirers were mar
velous. They always maneuver them
in the same style, and a very clever
style it is. First of all, the} mask
them with infantry. Then when the
French charge they reveal them and
put us to the test under the most with
ering fire. It is almost impossible to i
stand against it. and in this case we
had to retire after each rush for about
250 meters. Then quick as lightning
the Germans got their mitrailleuses
across the ground which we had yield
ed to them and waited for us to come
on again, when they repeated the same
operation.
"It is quite untrue to say that the
Germans have a greater number of mi
trailleuses than the French. I believe
that the proportion is exactly the same
to each division, but they handle them
more cleverly, and their fire is much
more effective than ours.
"The German aeroplanes are really
wonderful in the way they search out
the positions of our guns. We always
know that within half an hour of oh ,
serration by aeroplane shells will begin
to fall above gunners unless they have
altered their position.
"For four days this hunting among
the villages on the left bank of the
Ourcq went on all the time, and we
were not very happy with ourselves.
The truth was we had no water and
were four days thirsty. The heat was
terrific during the day, and some of
us were almost mad with thirst. Our
tongues were blistered and swollen,
our eyes had a silly kind of look In
them and at night we had horrid
dreams. It was intolerable agony.
Thirsted That Horses Might Drink.
"I have said we were four days with
out drink, and that was because we
used our last water for our horses. A
gentleman has to do that. 3*oll will
agree. Even then the horses had to
go without a drop of water for two
days, and I'm not ashamed to say. I
wept salt tears to see the sufferings of
those poor innocent creatures who did
not understand the meaning of all this
bloodj- business ;md who wondered at
our cruelty.
"The nights were dreadful. All
around us wore burning villages and
at ever 3' faint puff of wind sparks
floated about them like falling stars.
"But other fires wore burning. Un
der the cover of darkness the Germans
had piled the dead into great heaps
and had covered them with straw and
paraffin, then the 3* had set a torch to
these funeral pyres.
"Carrion crows were about in the
dawn that followed. One of my own
comrades lay very badly wounded, and
when he wakened out of his uncon
sciousness one of these beastly birds
was sitting on his chest waiting for
him to die. That is war.
"When Every Man Is a Coward."
"The German shells were terrifying.
I confess to you that there were times
when my nerves were absolutely gone.
I crouched down with my men (we
were In open formation) and ducked
my head at the sound of the bursting
shell, and 1 trembled in every limb
as though I had a flt of ague. (
"It is true that in reality the Ger- i
man shells are not very effective. Only
about one in four explodes nicely, but
it is a bad thing when, as happened to
me, the shells popped around in a
diameter of fifty meters. One hears
the zip-zip of bullets, the boom of the
great guns, the ste-tang of cur French
artillery, and in all this infernal ex- !
perience of noise and stench the
screams at times of dying horses and
men joined with the fury of gun t ; .ro
and rising shrill above it, no men may
boast of his courage. There were mo
ments when I was a coward with all
of them.
"Bat one gets used to it. as to ail
things. My ague did not last long.
Soon I was shouting and cheering.
Again we cleared the enemy out of j
the village of Bregy. and that was |
where I fell, wounded in the arm pret- d
ty badly by a bit of fsba!!.''
