Francois Achille Bazaine was born
near Paris in 18).1. Determining in
youth to seek the humble reputation
in the cannon's mount,- he entered
the army. Being the Scion of a
wealthy family, he could have read-

an officer's sword but he elected to

but there *as no record of such a

The meet, charitable view that any
Frenchman took of' the catastrophe
was that Bazaine Was grossly incom-
petent. •But thie theory , could not
harmonize with iris past record.
Brought barer& 'a court-martial on
the charge of treason, Bazaine wee
convicted and sentenced to be shot,
but his -old colleague, 'Marshal • Mac -
Mahon, when:elected president ot
Prance, took. pite on him, commut-
ing his: "sentence to twenty years' im-
prisonment.
Bazalae now treated France to an-
other mystery and another sensation.
He was found missing from hie cell,
and the newadvas sett Mimed that he
had edeaped throttgli the assistance
of his faitlatileSlexicari wife, but the
escape .eould not have been effected
without the connivance of sotto one
powerful in the•Government. He fled
to Spain and after there keeping ate

His purpose in surrendering Mete

pot explained for several weeks, when
it turned out that in translating the

made and that the cablegrara as sent

ed, however, and on tate morning of
Feb. 15sperrine turned his telescope to
the spot indicated in the cablegram
and saw a, comet. He naturally sup-
posed that Lamp at Kiel had discover-
ed this new comet and mistaken it for
the"Perrine comet, and not until the
error in translating the cablegram was
discovered did it became evident that
this was not so and that the error had
actually directed the telescope to a
new comet.
And, stranger still, this new comet
was moving so rapidly that had Pet -
rine directed his telescope to the spot
indicated at any other thne but just
that morning he would not have seen
it and it might never have been. dis-

War bread made from Government

illness in England that chemists and
bakers are working together under the

eat the bread develop severe cases of
indigestion, while children break out
in sores in many parts of the boelY.
In addition to the 111 -health among
