GERMANS, HARD HIT.
British Fleet and Submarines Have
Done Some Good Work.
The hunting of German trawlers by
the British fleet in the North Sea, es-
pecially on the Dogger Bank, has dri-
• ven the German fishing fleet from the
North Sea. As a result the price of
fish in Germany and Sweden,is gding
up. '
The London 1Vlorning Post's Petro-
grad correspondent says that the offi-
cial organ of the Government, the
Messenger, devotes a long article td.'
the extremely useful work of British
submarines in the Baltic "'while the
• Germans during the last ten months
have been boasting of isolating Eng-
land by submarine warfare, which
has been carried on regardless of all
considerations of law or humanity,
but which has not succeeded in pro-
ducing any effect on British shipping.
"British boats act in strict accor-
dance with internationatalaw and
usages of humanity," says the Mes-
senger. They do not sink passenger
boats without warning and kill hun-
• dreds of helpless women and children
and innocent civilians, as the Germans
did in the case of the Lusitania."
The article asserts that British
activity has crippled German's war
supplies and that all traffic between
1 Germany and the Swedish and Danish
• coasts is reported stopped.

How Accidents Were Stopped in the
Streets of Paris.
During the reign of Louis XV. of
France, the light aehaise came into
fashion, and great ladies of Paris
were accustomed to drive in them
• about the city. But beautiful hands
are not alwdys strong ones; accidents
began to occur more and more fre-
quently in the streets. Consequently
the king besought the minister of po-
lice to do something, since the lives
of pedestrians were constantly in dan-
ger.
a "I will do whatever is in my pow-
er," replied the police minister. "Your
Majesty desires that these accidents
• cease entirely?"
, The king replied, "Certainly."
The next day there appeared a roy-*
al ordinance that ordered that, in the
future, ladies' under thirty years of
age should not drive chaises through
the streets of Paris. That seems a
milcl restriction; but it is said that
• scarcely a woman from that time on
drove her own chaise. The police
minister knew that few women would
care to advertise the fact that they
were over thirty, and that the rest
would probably be too old to drive,
• anyway.

When using atalt to remove stains
from silverware, the salt should be

otherwise you run the risk of scratch-

The dark stain on the inside of
aluminum vessels can be removed by
boiling a solution of water and borax
and letting it stand for some time in
the vessel.
When making aprons it may be an
advantage to put the pocket in the
centre of the apron instead of at the
side, where it is found to be contin-

and tearing.
To test silk, fray out the threads
and break them. If they snap easily
it is not good. The warp thread run-

Remnants of meat of different
kinds can be ground fine and mixed

Food articles that are damp should
never be left in ordinary paper. Pa-

When damp it should not be allowed

are to be eaten.
In knitting it will be found much
easier when casting on stitches, if
using very large needles, to intro-

of the large one held in the right
hand. • Use the steel needle for knit-

large needle. This is to be done only
when casting on stitches.
The simplest way of dealing with
moths is to keep them out of the
house altogether, and this can be
done at the expense of a few pints of
turpentine: Sprinkle the rooms with
this once a week, or thereabouts,
when the moths begin to hatch out,
and they will all die or leave the
building. Repeat it if they appear
again. • Sprinkle a little in drawers
where woollen clothes are, and the
moths will not come near them.

Text: Jer. 23. 28.
I. The Impending Fall (Verses 1-3).
Verse 1. A lamentation --.Hebrew,
"Kinah," which means a "dirge." A
composition carefully prepared, in
poetic form, and usually sung by wo-
men as professional mourners at a
funeral. See Jer. 9. 17. „
2. The Kinah is represented by two
parallelmembers, the second member
of which re-echoes the first, but with
a plaintivesanelancholy cadence. Verse
2 is a good example of this form of
poetry.
The virgin of Israel is fallen:
She shall no more rise;
She is cast down upon her land:
• There is none to raise her up.
See the bookaeof, Lamentation (for

The virgin of Israel-Thenation
is personified as a maiden, but one no
longer blithesome and gay, going her
happy way erect and vigorous, but

Ise. 50 if.) The idea of a nation as a
minden or mother is here used for
the first time. Afterward the personi-
fication is frequents
II. The Fate et Israel Deserved
• (Verses? 4-11).
4. Seek ye me, and ye'shall live -
The Hebrew has a more forcible ex-
pression: "Seek ye me and live." (See
Gen. 42. 18). To seek God means to
consult him through a prophet or
oracle (Gen. 25. 22; Exod. 18. 16; 1
Sam. 9. 9; etc.). It also means to re-
gard his revealed will and to obey
him (ha. 9. 13; Jer. 10. 21; Psa. 9.
10; 24. 6; etc.). It was in this 'latter
sense that God wanted Israel to seek
him, not as in verse 5.
7. Justice to atoormwood •- Israel's
crying evil was civil injustice and the
oppression of the poor. The Hebrew
word for wormwood has been turned
by the Greek and Latin into absinthe,
which, let us hope, is no more to be a
SEA SIGNALS.
How Messages Are Sent From Ship
to Ship.
Means of communication between
one ship and another, or between a
ship and the shore, of however crude
a nature, are known to have been in
existence from the very earliest days
of navigation.
In many parts of the world watch
towers were utilized by night, and the
method employed is to this very day
practised in uncivilized countries.
The strength and utility added to
our Navy by wireless telegraphy can
hardly be imagined. At the same
time, it has its limitations.
In clear weather wireless tele-
graphy is sufficient, but in thick
weather, although it can be used for
summoning help, it will not give the
exact position of the boat in danger;
and the rescuing ship may be within
a few miles of the wreck, but unable
to locate her for many hours.
Another method of communication
is the use of fog -horns, steam -
whistles and sirens, but these are -not
always reliable, for the atmosphere
performs some curious tricks with
sound.
A noise made under water, how-
ever, is an extremely reliable guide,
and can be heard .at a greater dis-
tance than the same sound through
tr. The best way to recover a watch
whith has dropped into the water is
for the' swimmer to be guided by the
sound of &a-tie:king.
This is a scientific fact, the .ex-
planation of which would entail a
long, highly technicaNraatise, which
would not enlighten or entertain -t/te
average reader. But it is a fact
which makes out a strong case for
signalling by bells under the sea
when safety is being considered.
The instalation for receiving bell I
sound consists of two cast-iron water
tanks fixed against the skin of the
ship on each side, as far below the
water -line as possible. Hanging with-
in the tanks are telephone transmit-
ters of special construction.
The bell sound passes through the
skin of the ship and is communicated
through the water in the tanks, and
thence to the receivers. The sound
is then conveyed by telephone wires
up to the bridge or chart -house so as
to be easily accessible to the officer
of the watch.
There 2.re several means of des-
patching signals under water. A
lightship, when her light is of no
use can perform just the same duties
NARROW ESCAPES OF AIRMEN.
ThrilliNiventures Incidental to
Aerial Warfare.
To fly in an aeroplane, even under
peace conditions, is a fair test of
-courage. To perform the feats that
are everyday occurrences in the lives
of the aeronauts w'ith the European
armies is surely to reach sublimity of
bravery. -
• Volumes might be written, says
Mr. Charles Lincoln Freest= in
Scribner's Magazine, about the in-
numerable thrilling adventures and
narrow escapes incidental to the aer-
ial warfare. One of the best-known
British aviators, Mr. B. C. Rucks, was
flying against a sixty -mile -an -hour
gale six :thousand feet above the Ger-
man lines. In spite of his slow speed,
he trusted to his altitude to save him-
self from artillery fire. A shell found
its mark, however, and passed be-
tween Hucks and his observer. It
made a big hole in the fabric, and
carried away a main strut, two ribs,
and the petrol pipes. 'Nevertheless,
he managed to alight with safety.
Flight Commander Claude Gra-
hame -White during the naval air raid
on the Belgian coast, ran into a fierce
snowstorm that overweighted his
planes, and literally hurled him into
the sea from a height of seven -thou-
sand feet. After being thirty-five
minutes in the water, he was •picked
up by a French mine sweeper, which
was then shelled for an hour and a
half by German guns. Truly a lively
experience!
Very remarkable, too, are the cases
in which pilots have escaped disaster
lunder other perilous conditions than
asth-saang disablement. One member of
the RoY1-1-flying_Corps was almost
completely dazed by slo,se
quarters, and lost command of lig

INTENSIVE WHEAT GROWING.
Surprising Results Can Be Obtained
By the Method.
Seven years ago says Pearson'
Weekly, a Russian ago,
discovered
a method of increasing the yield of
wheat in so startling a manner that
no one believed he was telling the
truth. The Russian declared that it
was possible to get seventy pounds of
grain from one seed, and to make an
acre carry forty-five torts.
That does sound like a miracle, and
we do not vouch for it; but here is the
method, and if any farmer has the
patience to try it, he will certainly be -
surprised at the result.
Each grain is planted separately in
a sunken bed about fifteen inches deep
and three and a half feet in 'width -
feet, remember, not inches.
As s'oon as the grain sprouts, the
little blade is covered with a thin lays •r,
er of earth about an inch and a half
in depth. The result is that you get
three stalks instead of one. At thea
end of three weeks the hoe comes into.
use again, and the three stalks being
covered with earth, turn into nine
stalks. This process on being re-
peated a third time results in twenty-
seven stalks, and the Russian in ques-
tion repeated it ten times in all, so
that at last each grain produced 59,-
049 stalks. If the seed is first sown
.in the ordinary fashion, and then
transplanted to the pit before men-
tioned, you get an even stronger
