GREAT AREA BEING MINED
• FOR STEEL.
German Prisoners of War Do a Large
Amount of Salvage Work and Allied
Troops Have a Good Share.
Since time armistice, salvaging of
metal on a large scale has been going
on in all of the war -areas of the West
Trout. Thousands of •tons •of scrap
steel have been salvaged from all the
battle -fields. A good share of this sal-
vage work has been done by the
troops of the Allied armies, but also
a large amount of it has *been done
by the German prisoners of war.
At' practically all the railroad sta-
tions in the neighborhood of Etain and.
Bar -le -Due train -loads can be teen of
the crooked, rusted. barbed-wire en-
tanglement rods, stacked up like cord-
wood, waiting for shiprnent. . There'
are small of miscellaneous
scrap -iron, and piles of havy corru-
gated steel sheets are a characteristic
sight in salvage dulling and railroad
yards throughout the battle regions.
In the centre and toward the eastern
end of the line this work has been car-
ried nearer to completion than at the
northwestern end. In the northwest,
along the British front, the salvage
work has proceeded a bit more slowly,
perhaps, but certainly not less
thoroughly.
Prisoners at Work.
In the past winter and spring Ger-
man prisoners of war were going over
the shell -shot battle -fields which had
been a part of the British front, tear-
ing down the corrugated iron shelters,
picking up 'duds' or unexploded shells,
clearing the thickets of barbed wire
and chevaux-tie-frise, storing and pil-
ing np all the salvaged metal in the
e,lmps and loading it on the freight
,Sts and Canal or river barges. In
the salvage dumps you can see wrecks
of camions, tanks of all descriptions,
great piles of metal helmets, rides;
bayonets, knives, shells and shell -
cases, machine guns, and, in fact, all
the metal debris of warfare.
But the one lasting impression made
on most observers is that of acres of
corrugated steel sheets and barbed
wire and the twisted rods around around, the bees stayed in the hide,
which the barbed-wire entanglements t but every time the wasp approached
the small entrance hole a bee came
out and walked round in a circle, do-
ing sentry -work till the wasp departed.
All hour later a wasp—presumably
the scout—was found dead on its
back on the top of the hive, and'the
bees were busy again.

It is bounded on the north by the

Walked on by an Elephant
An African wanderer gives an in-
teresting account of time reckless dar-
ing of the natives in moments of ex-
citement_. Late in the afternoon he'
shot two elephants and early the.next
morning sent some of the attendants
out to bring in the tusks. So many
hours passed without any tidings of
the party that he began to be anxious.
In the late afternoon he saw in the
distance several men, some mounted,
and others on foot, while one led' a
camel with a curious -looking load.
He bad a foreboding that something
was wrong and in a few minutes he
clearly perceived a man lying uporm°a
makeshift litter, carried by the camel,
while Dan and Suleiman accompanied
the party horseback,
They soon came up. Poor little
Dick, a plucky and active ally, lay, as
the man thought, dead upon the litter.
They removed him gently, adminis-
tered spirits, and on examination
found lois thigh broken a little above
the knee, Fortunatdlt was a simple
fracture,
Dan now explained the cease of the
accident. While the camelmen and
others were engaged in cutting up the
dead elephants, three aggageers
found the tracks of a wounded bull
that had escaped into the thick jungle:
He was tracked to a' position within

dead elephants. '
As there were no guns, two of the
mei resolved to ride through the nar-
row passages formed by the large
game and take their chance with the
elephant, sword in hand. Dick, as
usual, took the lead on his little gray
mare. With the greatest difficulty he
advanced through the tangled thorns,
which had been broken by the passage
of heavy game, To the right and left
of the passage it was impossible to
move. •
Dan bad wisely dismotilited, hut
Suleiman followed Dick: On arriving
within a few yards of the elephant,
which was invisible in the thick
thorns, Dan crept forward on foot, and
discovered ]rim standing . with ears
cocked, evidently waiting for the at-
tack. As Dick followed on lois little
gray mare, the elephant caught the
white color and at once charged.
Escapewas next to impossible, Dick
turned his snare sharp round, and she
bounded off; but she caught in the
thorns andfejl, throwing her rider in
the path of the elephant, only a few
feet behind in full chase. The mare
recovered herself in an instant and
rushed away, The -elephant, occupied
by her' white color, paid no attention
to the man, but trod on him in the
pursuit and broke his thigh. '
Dan, who had been between the ele-
phant and Dick, had wisely jumped
nto the thick the.. As the elephant
himself passed, he sprang out behind

Cathedral as War Memorial.
"- The Anglican Church Authorities in
the diocese of Wellington, New Zea-
land, propose to build 'a cathedral as
a memorial to' the New Zealanders
fallen in the' -war. It is proposed to
erect, in connection with the cathe-
dral, a military chapel, dedicated to
St. George, which will contain the col-
ors of the Allies and regimental flags:
Its great windows will symbolize all
the Allied nations 'who have fought in
the war.
The walls of the chapel will be
panelled in white marble tablets, on
which the names of all New Zealand
soldiers, sailors, doctors and nurses
who have fallen in the war (irrespec-
tive of creed or denomination) will be
inscribed In letters' of gold

A little girl who loved animals
came home accompanied' by a stray
dog.
"Why, Oissy," said her mother,
"that dog isn't yours. You have no
right to bring him home,"
"Well, mamma," pleaded. Cissy, "he
didn't belong to anybody any more
than, the flowers. I can pick flowers
—wild ones --and keep 'em, and the
doggy was 'just like the flowers, so • I
came along and picked him,"
At. this point the dog turned round
and displayed a noticeable lack of tail,
whereupon Cissy's small brother
broke in with, "Why didn't you pick
a longer stem?"
Dahlias coming into flower require
plenty of water. They have been wa-
tered naturally lately, but now be
careful that they do not dry out.

It seems that experienced cheese
cutters come to "know" cheese. Of
course cheeses vary in size, in their
thickness and in their diameter, and
cheeses of like dimensions vary in
weight, but by long, experience the ex-
