IN THEIR LAST LONG SLEEP
Beautiful Spot In Which Have Deen
Laid American Soldiers Who
Died In Liberty Cause.
' On the wooded elope of n sleep lit 1 1
that rises high over a great bend In
the Hlvcr Seine lies a little plot of
earth that Is as much America ns Is
tlio national cemetery at Arlington or
tlio hallowed ground of Gettysburg. - It
is a quiet aud peaceful spot, for nl
though Paris Is near the slender pin
nacla of tlio Eiffel tower Is In pluln
Tlew over tlio trees tho city Is sepn
rated from the American cemetery at
""Surncsncs by tho green expanse of
tho Dots do Boulogne. Tlio henrt of
the city that Is tho heart of the world
is not five miles away; you would
think It at least fifty. It Is n spot fnr
removed from war, and yot there are
enough of tho accoutrements of wnr
about It to remind tho visitor Hint the
700 graves hero aro tho graves of sol
dlcrs mostly of soldiers who died of
their wounds on tho journey In from
the front or at one of tho hospitals In
or near tho capttnl. Further up tho
slopo frown tho ratupurts of tho fort
of Mount Valerlcn, 0110 In tho chain
of defenses that surround Paris. Dur
ing hostilities pin ncs Hew from Held to
field, tho drone of their motors never
ao clear as In this quiet countryside.
And tnoro wnrliko still, nn occasional
cannon shot echoed from a testing
ground lu tho neighborhood. Tho lit

aligned rows of white wooden crosses,

becoming so ns fast as tho loving

WAR DEMAND FOR PLATINUM
It'Etientlat In Production of Sulphurlo
Acid, Indlipemable In Manufac
ture of Explosives.
Two universally known products
ono n rnro metal, tho other n common
acid have lately nssumed Importance
that is mystifying to tho laity. i'lntl
num has become virtually tho king of
inotats, and sulphuric acid tho king of
chemicals. Tho reasons for this are
most simple. Plntlnum is obtained
chlelly from tho Ural mountains. Owing
to chaotic condition lu IIiihmIii, little
of it is being mined. It Is absolutely
essential In tho inanufucturu of sul
phurlc acid. Without n small amount
of It being present, oxygen, water and
sulphur dloxldo will, not unite client
ically, Sulphuric ucld, on tho othor
hand, was probably tho most India
peusttblo product used In tho proxocu
tlon of the war. Its tremondous ullln
Ity for water made It vitally Important
In the msnufacturo of high, explosives.
For instance, ono obtains u fairly
harmless liquid by mixing glycerin und
nitric acid. If sulphuric ucld Is added,
it combines tho two chemically by
taking on atom of hydrogen and ono
of oxygen from tho nitric add, nn
atom of hydrogen from the glycerin,
forming water, and taking It unto It
self. One then has nitroglycerin, in a
similar manner sulphuric ucld Is nettl
ed for tho manufacture of guncottnn
and TNT. Thus we had tho pecu
liar cyclo of circumstances that made
It unpatriotic for an American to havo
in his possession more thun an ounce
of platinum In tho form of Jewelry,
Incidentally, however, (hero Is said to
b good reason for tho belief that a
very large proportion of the so-called
platinum In modern Jewelry Is com
cosed wholly or at least In purt of
cheaper metals. Popular Mechanics

Substitute for Tea.
It Is said that there aro now on
the market as a substitute for tea
the leaves of a plant which Mebuhr
described as Jong ago as 1770. The
plant la the Catlia edulls, or Arabian
tea, which Is cultivated or grown wild
en the East African coast from Abys
sinia to Natal, lu the Nile valley, and
in Arabia, The leaves are called by
the natives "feat," and when boiled give
off a liquor which is said to be
a powerful stimulant The natives
drink this tea before-starting on long
marches or other strenuous labors.
The tea ,1s said to have a pleasant
aroma and to be useful against neu
ralgia, while In many regions the
plant Is considered to be a protec
tion against plague.
All He Had Left
The conjuror was giving a sleight
ef hand performance. One of his feats
waa to sake a marked dollar bill dis
appear ia the sight of the crowd, which
ke did AucceMfully,
That narked dollar bill will be

with hla magic wand at Sara Lawslng.
All eyea were riveted on Sam, who
advanced to the front, took some
money from bis vest pocket and said:
"Boas, hero's your change. Ah'vu

dollar you told me to keep In ma

Pea Ambassadors.
Oeaeral Maugin possesses a rein of
sardonic humor. When, in the autumn
el 1618. be had helped to undo In a
few days the work for which ths
crown prince during eight months had
aacrifled the flower of the kaiser's
army, at Verdun, Germany launched
a peace offensive. Uevlewlng his men

remarked with a grim smile, "Ah,

REACH LIMIT IN ABSORPTION
Small Thlnos Like the Turmoil ofa
Great War Cannot Disturb
Chess Devotees.
To Its devotees chess Is tho ranst
absorbing of nit mo-.J activities, the
gntiio that above all others brings
complete forgetfulness of tho world
to thoso who play and those who
watch the moves, observes a writer In
tho New York Herald.
A striking exnmplo of this self-nb-sorption
has been shown recently In
the rooms of a local chess club when
distinguished experts struggled for su
premacy In tho mimic field heedless of
the stupendous four-year struggle that
wns fust drawing to n close on Hu
ropo's shell-torn, blood-sonked board.
What wns tho reckless slaughter of
thousands of aermnn soldiers In com
parison with the sacrifice of n stngle
Ivory pawn standing guard before Its
queen? Which onu of those who
moved tho pieces or of the greater
number who watched them with fur
rowed brows und fast-heating hearts
thought of the knlser's peace offer
while tho queen's gambit was passing
before their eyes? Tho popo may lift
his voice lit words of solemn counsel
but they hoed him not. Tho only cc
eleslnstlrnl power that they recognize
Is that of tho mitred bishop Mwoplng
Into tho heart of the enemy's country
ami smiting the rock as It stand.
To rend the printed accounts of this
tournament Is to recall tho. old Puck
picture .if two chess players carried
In their chnlrs from a burning build
lug wlh the board between them. Nor
do wo wonder at the fart that It wns
only while absorbed 'in hU dully game

Amnteur nrcliroloj:lntn of California
are endeavoring to lutort profes

epigraphs which abound on the rocks
of Hound Valley, not fur from the city
of Illshop, und which are believed lo

they bear u strange resemblance.
It U believed by many that the
strange markings constituted tho

tho source of water supply for the

Thut hieroglyphic have never been

A Letter From France
L. N. Bellinger is in receipt of
the following letter from his
son. Wilbur M. BcllinGcr, and
dated at Tours, France, Nov.
24th:
My Dear Father: I havo been
debating with myself for the
last half hour on what shall be

is the nresent situation every
body in France is supposed to
write n letter to his father on

perhaps understand why I am
writing at this date. It is only
to wish a merry Christmas and
a happy New Year.

teen days, then back to Camp

I spent a very disagreeable time
In an overseas casual company,
On the morning of feuruory mn
we weto named out ot oea
about 3 a. m. and after having
a light breakfast and riding
for several hours we finally end
ed up in Philadelphia. I, along
with a number of other unfor
tunate creatures were put on
detail loading barracks bags on
to that boat. By tho way, this
particular boat wasn't the most
convenient. In tho first place it
was a second class interned Ger
man cruiser, having irt nil four
teen guns, including two anti
air craft.
The name of said boat was the
DeKalb, but the, name doesn't
imply anything, ' for it wasn't
built to carry troops,, conse
quently we wero obliged to sleep
wherever we could find room.
(on ton of a old "hatch" about
dec.ks un.deIr , wa!er P"
tie morning 01 Xeo. i'J, IVIO,
wo left the dock and proceeded
down the harbor thru a field of
broken ice, and by sundown we
were out in the mighty Atlantic.
Many of the men began to get
sick even before we crossed the
bar, for the ocean was very
rough. It was twice as bad the
morning after, for men were
continually running to tho rail
of the ship, but of course not al
ways making it, consequently
there were a few fish that had
to go hungry. As for myself, I
wasn't sick, but several times I
caught myself swallowing pret
ty hard.
All of us were assigned to life
rafts and were given life belts
which wo were supposed to
keep with us at all times. About
tho only good use I could find
for my life belt was that it made
a fine pillow. We traveled for
about live days without seeing
a single ship only now and then
wo would pass a ship going i
the opposite direction back t
the States. Finally wo came up
with seven othor ships all going
in tho same direction wo were,
In nil there were nino ships
eluding ono cruiser which was
convoying us across.
One evening whilo wo were
all lined up for mess we heard
the signal given to abandon
ship; Mien in quick succession
shots wcro lircd from tho cruis
or, which was fully four thou
sand ynrds away on our star
board side. Tiicsc shots were
kicking tin the wnter not three
hundred feet away. Everybody
on board held his breath, soon
the excitement was all over un
wo were going at lull Bpced
ahead without losing a ship
Ono poor felldw got so excited
Hint ho heaved his rain coat nnd
mess kit overboard, but wished
ho had it later.
Wo wont on for several day
longer nnd then wero met by a
convoy of twdvo torpedo boats
which came out to take us thru
tho danger zone, nnd tho cruis
or then turned back. Tho rest
of our trip overseas was rather
uneventful, only wo all thot wo
could see laud long before there
was any land to bo seen.
On tho evening of March 1
1018, wo docked at St. Nazairc,

Token of Appreciation
An event of more than local
importance, in view of chang
ing labor conditions, took placo
at tho St. Johns Lumber Com
pany on Saturday, December 21.
The big mill closed down nt the
regular time, but tho men did not
climb tho hill at once. Instead
they congregated in a solid body
outside the office. In a few
minutes Mr. Jones, the suuerin
tendent, camo through tho office
doors, followed immediately by
Mr. N. E. Ay or, the president of
tho lumber company, who look
cd extremely puzzled. A hush
sottlod upon the throng and then
Mr. O. Howard, retail tallyman,
stopped forward and began to
read, in bold, ringing tones,
irom n mnnuscript. it wns an
address of presentation. A clan
destine movement had been on
foot among the men to present
Mr. Ayor with a memorial of
good will. It took form in a
handsome silver loving cup, and
this wns the climnx. What Mr.
Aycr thought ho was being call
ed out for no ono knows, nnd he
hasn't told, but the chango in his
expression from apparent dark
doubt to delighted surpriso in
dicated that his perceptions
chnngod front with extreme ve
locity nnd completeness. At the
conclusion of tho presentation
address Mr. Ayer responded
with great feeling. Ho said
that ho was no public speaker,
but nevertheless hn snoko on.
fluently and earnestly, until he
find mndo nn address that was
not only worthy of tho occasion,
but was n masterpiece of state
ment of tho now rind better re

employer that aro coming into

wnr. Among other good things
that Mr. Aycr said, wcro these:

"At all times, however." and
this Mr. Ayer repeated and em-
insized, "I shall ho moro than
glad to meet with you and to ad-
iso with you on anything you
mny want to take up with me."
Mr. Ayersaid ulso that tho lum
ber line at the moment wns go
ing through a period of rend
ustment which was having a
temporary cramping effect, but
that after a short timo demand
would open un. and 1010 move
to be ono of the best years that
tho lumber industry over saw.

Tho men realized Mr. Ayer's
quiet but indofagitablo efforts
to serve them and wished to
show their appreciation.
Tho inscription on tlio cm
reads as follows: "To N. E.
Ayer, from his employes of the
at. Johns Lumber Co. lu rec
ognition of his manly, fair and
