GERMAN 'FRONT OVERWHELMED
BY FRENCHARTILLERY STDR' I
Trenches Filled With Troops Brought Up Especially for Counter -
Attacks Were Obliterated.
A despatch from Paris says; The
latest news from the -Somme front
emphasizes- the methodical character
of the French offensive. Wise in past
experience, General -Foch leaves no-
thing to chance; he initiates no move-
ment before taking all measures to
ensure . its complete execution.
The regent German counter-attacks,
combined with aeroplane activity on
a scale -unusual since the beginning of
July, indicate not only the arrival of
reinforcements, but a determine -eon
to check at all, costs, if possible, the
French tide that is steadily swamping
their fortifications,
Consequently, the whole German
front from Guillemont to Soyecourt
was overwhelmed for 72 hours by a,
French artillery storm which eye -wit-
nesses describe as far surpassing any-
thing hitherto experienced. The bom-
bardment was first directed chiefly
Upon a cluster of buttresslike' hills,
seamed by steep valleys, north of the
Somme. It spread after 24 hours' to
the flatter country south of the river
and along the front from 'Lihons to
Lassigny (a total distance •of '80
miles),_ The German trenches were,
first eat off from reinforcements or
supplies by the concentration upon
communication trenches. Escape was
impossible, and the German casualties
must have been ekceptionally heavy,
because, the German trenches were
filled with troops brought up especial-
ly for counter-attacks.
CANADA'S GREAT
TELESCOPE
SAID TO BE THE LARGEST IN
THE WORLD.
Instrument Is for Use of the Do-
minion Observatory at
Victoria, B.C.
The great 72 -inch reflecting tele-
scope desjgned and constructed for
the Dominion Astronomical Observa-
tory at Victoria, B.C., ranks in size
at the largest yet completed in .the
world. In design the telescope is a
reflector 6 feet in diameter with an
equatorial type of mounting,having
the main or polar axis pointing to-
wards the north star and swinging
the body of the telescope in a plane
parallel to the earth's eqpator and
the apparent paths of the stars; and
a declination axis at right angles to
and passing through the centre of
the polar axis, to allow movement
north and south. The instrument
weighs 55 tons, and will rest upon
massive piers of reinforced concrete.
The polar axis is 23 feet long and
weighs 10 tons. The declination
axis weighs 5 tons, is 14% feet long,
15' inches in diameter, carrying a
flange 41 inches in diameter and 4
inches thick, to which the body of
the telescope is attached. The tube
is 31 feet long in three sections, and
weighs 12 tons. The central cylin-
drical casting is 121,E feet long, and
weighs 7 tons. The mirror cell,
weighing with counterpoises and
mirror 6 tons, forms the lower end,
while to the,upper end is firmly at-
tached the rigid skeleton tube, made
of structural steel in tension. The
skeleton portion of the tube is 23
feet long, VA, feet in diameter and
weighs with attachments about two
tons.
Driven by Clock.
A driving clock similar in design
to that which Inas been so successful
in the 'Lick and Yerkes telescopes,
moves the telescope east or west
with great precision, through an ac-
curately cut worm wheel 9 feet in
diameter mounted on the polar axis.
The telescope is moved from one
position to another, and is set and
guided wholly by electric motors.
Seven motors with solenoids and
magnetic clutches are provided for
these motors. With the focal length
of 108 feet the guiding speed neces-
sary for a star image is 1,300 inch
per second.

or lower ends of the tube can clamp
or unclamp the telescope, make the
fine settings and guide the tele-
scope by means of "pushbuttons on
a portable key board kept at a con-
venient place.
Weighs 43 Tons.
The engineering and 'mechanical
problems involved in 'designing and
constructing a telescope of such
great proportions and accuracy will
be apparent when considering the
extreme rigidity necessary for carry-
ing the optical parts invariably in
their correct relative positions with-
out strain, and at the same time so
well poised and adjusted as to en-
able the: telescope to he easily
pointed towards and accurately set
on any desired object, and to enable
the whole massive mechanism weigh-
ing 43 tons, to unvaryingly follow the
motions of the stars. The sun, the
moon, the planets and the comets' all
have different rates of motion to
that of the stars, and all this must
be provided for in the controlling
mechanism. '
The revolving dome is 66 feet in
diameter, and is provided with, a
double shutter having an opeing
15 feet wide. Its weight is 120 tons.
All of the movements of the dome,
telescope, wind shields, shutters, etc.,
are,by means of electrical motors.
The principal mirror is 73 inches
in diameter; 12 inches thick, and
pierced with a hole in the centre.
The mirror weighs 214 tons; yet it
is so accurately poised that no flee -
teens can distort its surface, which
mpst nowhere deviate from the theo-
retical curve more than the two
hundredth -thousandth part of an inch.
The instrument is made to allow
its use in three forms, the New-
tonian, Direct or Cassegrain forms.
The secondary mirrors are 9 inches
in diameter.
This great engine of science, the
largest completed telescope in the
world, is now being erected at Vic-
toria, B.C., by order of the Dominion
Government for the Dominion Astro-
nomical Observatory in charge of
Dr. Plaskett, Chief Astronomer, un-
der the late Dr. King at Ottawa.
SOME FORGOTTEN TREASURES.
1;ASU ES
Studying Life of Ancient Egypt
From Cast Away Papyrus.
It is a strange story that reads
more like a romance than cold fact,
how the most intimate thoughts and
emotions of two thousand and more
years ago layeburied in the rubbish of.
ancient cities to tome to light in our
day. Papyrus was the writing ma-
terial of ancient Egypt, used in of-
ficial and private correspondence, in
business transactions, in legal ac-
tions. When it had served its pur-
pose it was thrown away.
Much of it also was used to wind
the embalmed bodies of the dead.
Fragments of it passed westward in
the early part of the last century
without attracting much attention,
says the Christian Herald. The schol-
ars of those days were interested in
classical lore and literary remains,
and could not foresee• the infinite pos-
sibilities for studying the life of a
past age from its private correspond-
ence,
Within the last decades, however,
interest changed completely. Ex-
ploration parties were sent out to go
over every inch of ground and ga-
ther the remains. A host of scholars
set themselves the task of decipher-
ing and interpreting the documents.
But still an immense amount of ma-
terial is etcred away: in Oxford, the
British Museum, Berlin, Paris and
other places.
In a group recently examined there
are three letters from recruits,
young men who had passed the mile-'
tarY examin:ste7t and were taken
from' - simple home surroundings to I
the cosmopolitan Roman army. The
first is a letter from a youth in Alex-
andria to his mother. He writes:
"Send me two hundred drachmae. I
have nothing any more. When bro-
thor Gemellus came I still had four
hundred drachinto. They are all gone.
I bought a team of mules. Send me
monthly allowance soon. When I was
with you you promised to send my
brother before I came to the garrison.
But you sent nothing. You left me
to go as I stood, nothing in the poc-
ket. Also my father on his visit gave
me not a penny. All laugh at me and
say: 'Your father is a soldier himself
and still ha sends you nottenge My
father tells me when he gets home ha'
will send' me everything. But you
sent nothing, Why? There is the
mother of Valerius; she Bent him a
pair of abdominal bandages and a
cruse of oil, a basket of meats, and
two hundred drachmic. Send quickly,
I already went and borrowed from a
comrade. Also brother Gomellus sent
me a pair of trousers."
Locks Like it.
"There are a great many demands
for aid for various causes."
"Rather seem to be on the increase,
too."
"Yep. Every day'll, be tag day by
and by."

HEALTH
The Wasting Baby.
Sometimes, in spite of all that its
parents can do, a 'baby persistently
fails to gain in weight os steadily
loses weight; it becomes what is call-
ed a "wasting baby." In such a case:.
it is best to ask the help of the physi-
cian at once, because he will probably
be able bo find out by careful experi-
ment gettingthe
nt whether the baby is
right food; but not enough of it, or 1.the wrong food altogether.
Sometimes, the fault lies, nob in the
L
food, but in the child's digestion. The
digestive organs may be weakened by
an attack of illness, or because the
food used earlier in the child's life
was unsuitable either in quality or in
quantity. Of course the quantity
may be excessive as ,.ell as insuffici-
ent; some babies have deranged diges-
tions because they have been unwisely
stuff ark
Very often both parents and physi-
cians must eractice great patience.
Although one baby will respond im-
mediately to a sight change in diet,
the same method in a case' that is ap-
parenty exactly similar will have no
effect whatever. It is of no use to
persist if the conition does net change
for the better very soon, for a sick
baby's life hangs by a slender thread.
Fortunately, if one expedient fails,
there are always others to be tried,
Of course there are cases that do
not respond to changes in the diet, be-
cause they are caused by some seri-
ous disease, such as tuberculosis.
There are also cases in which it is im-
possible to find any sufficient cause
for the trouble. The child may take
plenty of nourishment, but because of
sonic congenital inability to assimi-
late it may waste away helplessly be-
fore the eyes of its parents. That
type of ease, after every experiment
has been made and everyone has be-
gun to despair; sometimes takes a
sudden turn for the better for no dis-
cernible reasbn,
is-cernible.reasbn, and the child rapidly
becomes perfectly normal.
If Siete, is no evidence of indiges-
tion, such as vomiting or diarrhoea,
it may be that the ingredients of the
food merely need to be strengthened.
Sometimes the proteins must be in-
creased by adding a little raw -meat
juice; sometimes the fats in the food
are insufficient; often milk must be
stopped for a. while, and a good pre-
digested food given instead. In very
severe cases some mild stimulant must
be administered, and the 'baby should
be gently rubbed with olive oil, so as
to get a little fat into the system
through he pores of the skin. The
best treatment of all is to get the
baby a wet nurse.
Relapsing Fever.
While the war goes on in Europe we
must feel a certain apprehensive in-
terest in the group of disorders that
always follow on the heels of destitu-
tion, overcrowding, and uncleanliness,
Of these diseases typhus and cholera
are easily the most terrible, but there
are many others, end among them is
relapsing fever, sometimes dalled
"famine fever," because it appears -at
times when large :ambers of people
are underfed. It is likely to prevail,
when the conditions are favorable, in
any climate.
Ab one time there were many out-
breaks of the fever in Great Britain,
but it has not been known there since
1873. It does, however, often occur
in Russia, Egypt, and India, and in
1868 Germany suffered from a revere
epidemic, which spread' thither from
Russian
Although relapsing fever results
from the same conditions that cause
typhus, it is a much less grave dis-
oVeer. It is caused by a microorgan-
ism called the Spirochaeta obermei- f
ere, which is transmitted from one
person to another through the agency
of certain bisects.
An attack begins with a h;gh i!ever
and other symptoms of illness, which
may Include headache, chills, giddi- I
mees, and often 'vomiting, The liver
and spleen are eel,:rged. The first
stage cf the disease lasts from five to
seven days, .and terminates suddenly.
The patient appears ao be on the road
to recovery until the second attack,
or relapse, appears, which is often
quite as severe as the first, although
it generally lasts a day or two less.
After the second relapse most patients
go on to ni real convalescence, al-
though some have still a third relapse,
The complications are not usually
serious, although in some cases the
vomiting is so excessive•that the pati-
ent is exhausted; and jaundice is of-
ten severe. The diagnosis is unmis-
takable when the microbe is found in
the blood, but ae first the disease i5
often mistaken for typhus, or malaria,
or influenza, Relapsing fever; is not
a very fatal disease; in fact, the pro-
gnosis is always good unless such
complications as pneumonia appear, or
unless the patient is old and feeble.
Drugs have little influence on the
course of the disease. -Youth's Com-
panion.
PETROGARD IN EARNEST.
To All Russia the War is Considered
a Crusade,
"The war," said a friend of the
writer, just returned from a visit to
Russia, "has wrought no such change
in any capital of Europe, not even in
Paris, as in Petrograd. From a city
of careless pleasures it has become a
city of the deepest seriousness and a
grim and deadly earnestness. It is
possessed of one thought only -to win
the war; and on that object all its ef-
forts are concentrated, says London
Answers.
"It is a city, too, of profound piety,.
and this piety is universal. You will
see the roughest cab -driver and the
most high -placed officer alike remove
their hats and cross themselves rev-
erently when passing a streete-shrine.
Every Russian regiment has its own
special ikon, which to it is a real liv-
ing thing, the very body of the saint
whose spirit dwells in it; and every
soldier carries a cross as his most
precious treasure and consoler. To
all Russia the war is a crusade -a
holy war waged for the little brother
Serbia.
"And for this great and holy cru-
sade everyone is working. The very
boys are always busy rolling band-
ages, making `swobs; or sewing strips
of bombazine together, which the sol-
diers prefer to socks. At the hospital
of Tsarskoe Selo the Czarina, her
daughters, and Court ladies are min-
istering night and day_te the wounded
and dying; and in all the intermediate
social stages everyone is equally hard
at work.
"In the streets of Petrograd the war
meets you everywhere. Wherever
you go you encounter collectors -sell-
ing metal crosses for the Red Cross,
postcards for a fund to help the Poles,
or relics from the battlefield -ail in
the sacred name of charity.
"At a street corner you will see a
patient, serious crowd gathered to lis-
ten while someone reads aloud the
latest news of the fighting from the
leaflets posted up on the walls. Here
you pause to watch a regiment of stal-
wart, grim -faced soldiers march past,
with the slow, rhythmic tread peculiar
to the Russian fighter. A -little farth-
er on a band of students passes along
singing -to your astonishment-
"Tipperary',' while very onlooker re-
moves his hat in tribute to England,
the great ally who is making victory
assured "

BRITISH GAIN
NEW SUCCESS
Advance Their ji roast on Both
Sides of GRuillemont-Flers
Road.
A despatch from London says:-:
A new success was won by General
Haig's British troops during Friday
night on the ,Somme front. By q
strong attack in the„Guiilemont steeto'!t
they advanced their front several
hundred yards on•hoth sides of the
Guiilemont-Fleury road, bringing it me
even terms with the Fgeneh etivanatf
through Maurepas. The German sal-
ient which was left at the point where
the British and French fronts joist
was flattened out and several hundred
prisoners taken. In addition, to the
north, the British extended their °
trench progress along the Leipsic salt.
ent, taking an additional 300 yards of
strongly -defended position.
Meanwhile the French, by strong
artillery fire, were repulsing German
counter-attacks south of Maurepas,
especially in the region of Hill No.
121. This height is now completely
in the hands of the French troops.
Military experts attach great im-
portance to the capture of Maurepas
by the French. Not only does it put
into their hands one of the principal
supporting points of the German
front between the Somme and the Al-
beri-Bapa'cene high road, but it bringg
their advance within two miles of
Combies, which powerfully -fortified'
town they are steadily flanking.
It is reported from Paris that the
German corps. ae£eated on Thursday
by the French was led in person by
the Kaiser's second son, Prince Eitel
Friedrich.
On the Verdun front the Germans
rearing the night attempted to storm
Fleury. The French War Office re-
ports their complete repulse.
The Germans made a new assault
on the French line •at the tip of the
