Ears[That Litten

•Xeleseeese`e:44:44eeseseseteee
RTIFICIAL tars developed
during the great- conflict are
at on.ce the most JngelliouS
and most delicate:Icentrior-
ances imaginable. Their hearing le
not only. incomparably More acute
thaai any Planes, but it locates with
accuracy the source from which a
sound proceeds, its direction oand ,its
distance—a•thing the humaa ear can-
not do.
By such means in 'a -single day,
shortly before the signing,of the
armistice, more than 100 hiden Ger-.
inan. guns were located in one sector,
placing them at the mercy of th.e
.Alli ed artillery. *
A survey of German -gun positions
made after the armistice was signed,
on.a part of the front where listen-
ing devices were installed; proved
that the actual positions varied not
more. the.n twenty to thirty feet ire&
the locations calculated for them.
So extraordinarily sensitive are the
instruments used that the operator,
• merely by picking up the sound of
the guns, can determine their calibre.
Apparatus ,,of the kind loceted ,the
"big Bertha" cannon (of which -there
were several) that fired upon Paris
from a distance of seventy-two miles,
thus enabling -the French aviators to
temb them and destroy at least one.
Another was blown up, and a third
was {put out of action in some way
not definitely ascertained.
Each set of instruments covered a
ilve-mile front, and the sounds they
recoirded were conveyed to them not
thro'ugh , the air, but throtigh the
earth. In many instances the oper-
ator occupied a sort of telephone
booth, listening through_ a pair of
rubber, tubes connected with two
hearing -disks placed on the ground.
The apparatus chiefly employed is
called a "geophone," and was used
for many purposes other than locat-
ing German guns, Provided with
this instrument, a 'man would take
his station at the extreme subterran-
ean end called the "sap -head") of a
mining tunnel and listen for enemy
counter -mining operations. If any
such were in progress, he could teU
exactly where the digging wa.s being
done. He could distinguish the
blows of a pick, the noise made by a
spade, the kawing of timber ,for
props, or the tamping of an explosive
charge.
The problem then was merely to
arrange matters so that when the.,
enemy's sap -head had reached a, cer-
tain point, with a bunch of Huns
busy digging, the whole„bueiness
could be blown up, destroying -the
countermine and giving sudden and
permanent burial to the excavators..
By this means German mining
operations on the west front were in-
terfered with to such an extent as
to put a stop to them almost
entirely: -
• In work .of the kind the "geo-
phone” was importantly supplemenk
ed by a wholly different instrutnent,
which was a long-distance micro-
phone. • It could be used for either
underground- or Surface listening,
and was of utmost value in the
tfrenches. •
Provided with one of these micro-
phones, the observer, in a safe place
a mile behind the front line, could
hear what was going on in No Man's
Land. If an enemy patrOl was si-
ently crawling across that dangerbus
erritory, he could give warning.
Small noises unheard in the trenches
were audible to him.
Whereas the man with the "geo-
phone" was obliged (for detection of
nemy mining operations) to place
himself in the sap -head, the micro-
phone operator need not enter the
untie]. at all. With the help of wires
Liftable, strung, he might be a mile
way and listen to what was going
on in the neighborhood of
dozen tunnels.
Volcanoes' Two Lives. -1
Mount Elburz, the Caucasian peak
that towers 2,700 feet higher than
Mt. Blanc, has been puzzling the
world by bursting into activity alter
the ,lapse of (untold ages.
The puzzle of its renewed life was
explained by the librarian Of the
Royal Geographical Society.
Elburz is surmounted by two vol-
e,anic craters,- connected by a saddle
or ridge. Near the base Of the great
dome which supports this are &ices
of a long' extinct cone surrounded by
lava; the remains of a crater that
burned itself out in some remote geo-
logic age, before the glacial period
arristed.
There are other instances of a vol-
canic mountain- enjoying( a "second
innings." Vesuvius, for instance,
stands on the long extinct crater of
Monte Somata, and other examples
are the Peak of Teneriffe and Bar-
ren Island in the Bay of Bengal
Mount Shasta, in Northern Cali-
fornia, after having lain buried un-
der vast fields of ice, again renewed
its agtivities. There are somewhat
similar instances in Scotland, where
extinct craters have been built up
on the ruins of others whose age
can be „reckoned only in geological
periods.
Saved the Funds.
An entertaining story is told by an
Italian writer concerning the.manner
in Which the municipal, funds of Cou-
trai were Saved at the time of the
German invasion. When the enemy i
arrived these funds, totaling a very
considerable amount, were, at the
town hall, and the problem of their
removal greatly exercised the civic
authorities. The.mayor hit upon the
idea of a mock funeral and on the
second day of the occupation an im-
posing cortege moVed slowly through
the Streets. with 'what the Germans
were led to believe were the -rennsins
of -a distinguished citizen. The fun-
eral car was heaped:_high with flow-
ers, the city chamberlain walked be-
hind, the German officers stood stifflyai the salute as the iedlin was borne
past them. Needless to say, the
"corpse" has now been- exhumed.

HE -greatest statesman at
the Paris conference."
This most unusual epi-
• thet was bestowed the
other day on Eleutherios Venizelos,
Premier of Greece, who represenes
• before the world tribunal not .'ortly
his own country, but also the un-
redeemed Greeke of ate .1Egpati
lands and the mainland of Atida
Minor. It has been said before that
no European country of,modern
times owes as much to the0 genius
• of one man as Greece owes to Veni-
zelos; he was called "the best friend
the Allies have in , Southeastern
Eurolie," and it may be added that
if the Balkan peninsula ceases to be
the sore spot of Europe and its pee -
pies are to be relieved from the_poli-
deal, economic and cultural handicap
whiOh has burdened them for cen-
turies, it will be due to no mean
extent to the vigor andeforesight of
,the Cretan leader.
In one respect, at least, Venizelos
belongs to that interesting grails, of
statesmen which' is adorned by naines
like the Grace's', Julius Caesar, Fox
and Mirabeau. Whatever differences
of character and circumstance sep-
arate from one another these his-
toric personages, they yet have one
PREMIER VENIZELOS.
trait in common: They are all aris-
tocrats who aligned themselves and
became leaders of "the people," as
against "the rulers." They were all
democrats, in the particular sense
this rather elastic term ,carried in.
their respectivevages.
- Like the reiitief the Balkan states,
except Roumania, modern Greece' has
no titled nobility. There are, of
course, families of ancient standing'
and culture, considered patricians, as
in New England or the South. Among
these patrician lines that of Venizelos
ranks foremost.,
His grandfather emigrated to the
,
Island of Crete; and there, in due'
time, his father, Kyriakos, became
a leading merchant. Here Eleutherios
Venizelos was born, in 1864. -Because
of his political activities, the father
was banished by the Turks. His edu-
cation, therefore, took place mainly
at Athens', where he graduated in law
in '1880. He , returned to Crete and
BOOR became a prominent lawyer. At
twenty-five he was member of. the
Cretan Legislature. He rendered con-
spicuous service in the revolution of
1890-92. ln 1898 he became Minister
og Justiee, in which capacity he re-
organized the laws of the island. .
The story of his activities on be-
half of the Allies in the Great Viler
is• fmniliar to all, but in order to
understand V,enizeloS, it is necessazy
to understand the genius and the in-
spiratioa of the. man.. The Premier
of Greece is an ''aristocrat by birth.
He has culture and a high intelli-
gence, but he has chosen to use his
wonderful gifts to further the cause
of democracy. He believes in gov-ern-
ment by an enlightened people, an.d
he is leading the Greeks along the
road to idealism. No other nation
can boast a leader who 'has done as
much as. Venizelos to form the minds
of his pople. That is why he stands'
:out as a Unique statesman.
