'ARTFUL ARTILLERY.
Masked Battenea Neeeasary New an
Acoount of Airships.
It is only of quite recent years that
the masked battery has enjoyed recog
nition as the normal position for artil
lery. Yet on the battlefields of Europe
today they are indispensable. Inquisi
tive aeroplanes will borer above, en
deavoring to locate the position of ar
tillery and, if successful, drop smoke
bombs, so giving their artillerymen the
-ange.
To cope with this danger the guns
- have to be cunningly hidden from
aerial observation by means of crests
of leafage, trees snd in many tnstaucei
draped over with foliage precisely -in
harmony with the color of the immedi
ate surrounding*
A good artillery officer can control
his battery much like a fireman does
his hose. Although his guns are hid
den. he himself must be In a position
overlooking the field of action in order
to be able to give instructions to his
gunners regarding the elevation of the
guns, etc. If he Is obliged to travel
away from his guns hib information is
transmitted either by means of tele
phones, signals or a chain of orderlies.

Where the Earth Stands Still.
"Tbe deadest university in th«
world"—such is tbe unenviable dis
tinction of El Azbar, the great Moslem
university at Cairo. This "institution
of learning" schools its 11,000 students
on the (Ptolemaic theory of the uni
verse, which makes the earth the ten
ter of the solar system, around which
tbe sun and stars revolve. But a pas
sion for real education has begun t«
sweep north Africa. Schools are meet
ing even in the desert, wherever a
teacher can be found. The schoolgirl,
'formerly an unknown quantity, now
numbers 25,000 strong In Egypt. North
Africa has two mighty colleges, tior
don Memorial and Aesiont. In mission
schools 18,000 children are being train
ed for tbe citizenship of tomorrow.
The day of El Azhar is passing.—Wil

Radio -active' Diamonds.
Sir William Crookes says that dia
mends become highly radio-active when
exposed to the action of rudium and
that the acquired radio-activity con
tinues for years -vith apparently un
diminished force. Sir William has a
diamond that ab<ot twelve years ago
was exposed to radium for some
months. After the exposure it was
found to be highly radlo-u-tlve and af
fected a photographic plfm;. The dia
mond has never been near radium
since. It has been carried about loose
in Sir William's pocket and has even
been boiled in strong acids, yet it Is
now virtually as active as ever.
The Qerman Empire.
A century ago there was no German
empire—only a number of German
states whose aggregate wealth and In
come were probably less than those of
France. Now united Germany Is es
timated to possess an Income of nearly
$10,000,000,000 and accumulated wealth
of about $80,000,000,000. During the
century Germany's population has
grown from 24.000,000 to more than
67,000,000, or ISO per cent.
Three Richest Nations.
According to tbe best tables and tbe

Tbe United States. $190,000,000,000;
Great Britain, $80,000,000,000; Prance,
$65,000,000,000. Germany follows hard
after France with $80,060,000,000. Rus

War, Wheat and Rye.
The four leading continental coun
tries at war have a total wheat area
of about 108,000.000 acres and a rye
area of 102.000.000 acres. The war
means probably a loss of 42.000,000
acres of wbeat and rye In France, Ger
many, Austria-Huusrarv and Russia.
A Greeehopper Plague.
Grasshoppers have become such a
menace to crops in San Salvador that
the government is preparing a novel
method of estermlnatlpn. one used
with good results In South American
countries. Virus has been procured

ulated insects will be freed in the
swarming droves. The disease la said
to be remarkably fatal to the pests.

WAR SPECIALTIES AGAIN
CONSPICUOUS IH MARKET
Tork Air Brake Ascends Two
Points to the Now High Price of
98— -Baldwin Locomotive and
Pressed Steel Oar Also Biae
By Attociated Preti,
New York, April 17.—The so-called
war specialties were again conspicuous
in the oarly stock dealings. Npw York
Air Brake ascended 2 points to the new
high price of 98, while American Lo
comotive waa inclined to react, falling
back 4% points to 56 on opening sales
of 1,800 shares. Baldwin Locomotive
and Pressed Steel Car rose 3 to 5
points, and numerous other stocks in
this particular class, including Bethle
hem Steel, were higher by 1 to 2 points.
Speculative favorites shared in the rise,
Reading, St. Paul and U. S. Steel gain
ing a point each. Trading was very
active, but without the wikl movements
i of the preceding session.
To-day's two-hour session was accom
panied by a further upward whirl of
prices. Virtually all the industrial
and equipment issues which are said to
have received war contracts added to
recent gains, over-night advances rang
ing from 3 to 7 points. Almost the
sole exception was American Locomo
tive. which fell back at the outset anil,
though making partial recovery, failed
to come within striking distance of the
previous day's high figure. U. S. Steel
was the real feature by reason of its
activity. It sold at 59%, a new rec
ord for the current movement. Other
speculative favorites, including Read
ing, St. Paul and Amalgamated, also
ascended to higher levels. The close
was Bonds were firm.

THE TURKISH BABY. \
Odd Custom* Attend Upon Hi* Birth
and Hia Firat Bath.
A. Turkish baby looks very queer In
his odd dress. He wears wer his shirt
a kind of padded gown, something Ilka
a bathrobe, and on his little bead he
wears a bright red silk cap with a
tassel of seed pearls. To keep all evil
awuy from the buby one or more
charms tire fastened to the tassel.
His arras and legs are bound tightly
after they are straightened out by his
nurse, and when he Is all fixed be is
put in a little bed and covered with
•several warm pads. In addition to this
a thin red veil Is put over all.
When he is all ready his father
comes In to see him for the first time.
If the child Is a hoy, the father Is
doubly pleased. He takes the child up
very tenderly in hla arms and carries
Mm out of the room. Just outside the
door he rests a minute and prays. After
he prays three times he repeats the
name chosen for the baby and this Is
tho way the baby la christened.
When the child is three days old a
celebration Is held and old women who
make a regular business of tills go to '
the different houses Inviting the ladles
to the party. At each house they tell
the day of his birth and the name of
the baby and urge the people to come.
On the day of celebration the
people arrive from early in the morn
ing until late In the afternoon. Nearly
all bring presents for the baby's mother,
and each person as she gives her pres
ent to the mother expresses a pleasant
wish for the child.
The.t hardly notice the baby, for the
mother Is afraid of bad luck if too
much attention is paid to It The few
who do look at him say how ugly he
is or something like that and this de
lights the mother, who knows they do
not mean what they say.
If the parents are rich sweet sherbet
or coffee and candies, cakes and Ices
are served as refreshments. If they
are poor coffee and fruits are offered,
but the entertainment, is much the
same. The ladies talk and laugh and
cat. until they are ready to leave.
Another great event is the baby's
first bath. This happens when he is
eight, dnys old, and his mother and her
friends may have a bath, too, if they
wlßh. The baby bathes first, then his
mother and then the visitors. This
bath takes a long time and all the time
slaves play sweet music and food is
served three or four times.—Portland
