THE EXETER TIMES •
HBEG KEYS TO LEMBERG
Russian Advance Continues. on
Galician Front.
Nearly Fifteen Thousand More Pris-
oners Have Been Captured, and
Advance on Lemberg is Proceed-
ing With Great Rapidity—Bus-
Watts Are Aitniug to `.Cake Town
of Stauislan.
LONDON, July 4.—The Russian
offensive continues to make progress
In Galicia. Petrograd claims the
capture of several towns south of
Kolomea, the important railway junc-
tion, which is the key to Lemberg. It
also reports the occupation of forti-
fied posts in the foothills of the Car-
pathians following the repulse of an
Austrian counter-attack north-west
of Kimpolung. The capture of 14,-
574 more prisoners is recorded,
bringing the total number now up to
217,000.
Berlin claims that the battle in
progress west of Lutsk for the last
week is now developing favorably for
the Germans. The capture of Russian
positions on the Styr south-west of
Sogul is also claimed. Troops of Cos-
sacks already harassing the flank of
General von Bothmer's,.:army have
been repulsed.
Semi-official reports from Vienna
deny indignantly the Russian claims
of the capture of 214,000 men and
great numbers of cannon. They point
out that had the losses been as Petro-
grad claims the 'Austrians would not
have a single man left on the Galician
front; death and wounds would have
accounted for the rest.
Instead, it is claimed that the Aus-
trian. losses amounted to between 10
and 20 per cent. instead of the 25
per cent., which has been not an un-
usuaI figure in other operations of
the war.
The advance of the Russians from
Obertyn, which was captured Friday,
indicates that their plan is to cap-
ture the important town of Stanislau,
about fifteen miles west and slightly
north of Thumacz, and well behind
the present Austro -German centre
front on the Strypa. The capture of
Stanislau would mean that this army
must either retreat rapidly or be sur-
rounded when the Russians push
northward, cutting it off from its
supports in the rear.
The fierceness of the Russian at-
tacks near Thumacz indicate that
their objective is to force the retreat
or secure the capture of this army,
which bas effectively barred the pro-
gress of the Russian forces fur-
ther north toward Lemberg.
Further Russian repulses in the
region of Lutsk, south-east of Kovel,
are reported in the official German
statement.
HURLED OVER PRECIPICE.
Turks Are Bayoneted by Russians in
Rear Attack.
PETROGRAD, July 4.—Te Rus-
sian official of Sunday reports suc-
day reports successes on the Cau-
casus front. East of Plantana a
chain of mountains which had been
strongly fortified by the Turks was
captured in a brilliant attack. The
Russians also drove the enemy be-
yond the River Samsoon Darassi. The
abandoned positions were found full
of Turk corpses.
In the direction of Gumischior the
Turks in an attempt to advance to
the north were repulsed and driven
back to their trenches. In the direc-
tion of Baiburt the Russian advance
guards took the Turks in the rear
during the night on a height in the
region of Vartanis, and in a bayonet
attack hurled them over a precipice.
The Russians returned safely.
Pressure by important enemy
forces is recorded in the Kering re-
gion in the direction of Bagdad.
Bernardo Youth Killed Fanner.
SIMCOE, July 4.—Robert Henry
Beecher, a Barnardo boy, 16 years
of age, is in jail here on a charge of
killing John Simmons, a farmer et
Forestville, 18 miles south-west of
Simcoe, Sunday afternoon. The youth
has lived for seven years with Miss
Ida Carr, who owns a farm at Forest-
ville. Miss Carr bad engaged john
Sirnnr.ons to work the farm for -Der.
Sunday afternoon after returning
from church Simmons and young
Beecher went out to practice shoot-
ing with a 22 rifle. Miss Carr de-
clares that an altercation arose be-
tween the two and that Simmons was
shot when he attempted to take the
ride from the boy. He died instantly.
LONDON PAPERS WARY.
They Arc Not Sure That Battle of
'.blame is the "Iiig Push."
LONDON, July 4.—The London
papers in their editorials deal with
the situation on the British front in
somewhat resereed fashion, some of
them pointing out that it is not yet
known whether this is really the
long-awaited "big push" or only an-
other feint in greater force than any
of the previous movements.
The Graphic remarks: "Our bom-
bardment is still being maintained
along the whole front, and the enemy
dogs not know whether we may not
at any moment rush another stretch
of line. The necessity of sending
adequate reinforcements to cope
with the situation may necessitate
the Germans abandoning the enter-
prise against Verdun."
The Express says: "The war has
entered a fresh and probably the last
phase. Our hopesmay well be high,
but our patience must continue."
Tbe Daily News says: "The fact
tbat Germany has lost the offensive
does not mean that she is not still a
formidable foe. We cannot tell what
het te.niper may be under tbe shadow
of defeat ---whether she will fight to
the last ditch, or seek to save the Id
inost- front • the wreckage,"

TRAPPING A PYTHON.
The Monr(ter Is a Victim of Hie Own
Greedy Appetite.
The python's weak point is its stom-
ach; it is a glutton. Not satisfied with
a full supper, it will start at once on
next week's breakfast if by chance
that future meal happens to be within
easy reach.
A python generally lIves in a hole ltr
the ground or a bollow in a tree, but
if it can find au old ruin in the jungle
—and there are many old ruins in In-
dia—it likes to take up Its sleeping
quarters there, because even in the
heaviest rains the water runs off the
ruins quickly, wbereas a hole in the
ground is likely to be flooded. The
python needs to eat only once a week,
and to get that meal it lies flat along
the bough of a tree near a stream and
waits for its prey to come to drink.
When the natives see the long trail
that the python's body makes near the
- bank and find a heap of ruins near by
they make a bole in the ruined wall
just exactly big enough for the python
to get througb. Then they tie a pig to
a stake near the hole ou one side of
the wall, and on the other side of the
wall opposite the hole they tie another
pig to a stake. They also tie a wire
to the leg or the tail of the near side
pig, .and as evening draws on they
twist it from a distance, and the pig
squeals. As the python comes bome
to bed it hears the squeals.
So the python comes along merrily
and seizes its supper at a single bite.
Down goes the pig into tbe big snake's
throat, sucked in slowly by sheer mus-
cular action. In about half an hour
the pig has passed completely down
the long neck, and in another half
hour it is down a couple of yards far-
ther into the python's stomach.
.host animals would go to sleep'right
away after a gorge like that. But
meanwhile the second pig on the other
side of tbe wall has realized its' unhap-
py brother's woeful fate and has set
up a most distressing noise. The py-
thon puts its head through the hole
and sees 11.
"Ail" it says to itself. "Here's my
next week's breakfast."
And instead of waiting for next
week to come that greedy python swal-
lows the second pig too. The wily na-
tives wait until the second pig is well
on its way down the python's body;
then they have the snake caught. Pig
No. 1 prevents it from advancing, and
pig No. 2 prevents it from retreating.
The natives lasso the python around
the neck, break down a the wall and
pass a coil of rope between the two
lumps of pig before they can amalga-
mate. Then they bear away the py-
thon to captivity.—"Wonders of the
Jungle."

"Good morning, Wagge. What's on
the carpet today?" asked Bingleton.
"Dust," said Wagge.
"Clever boyl But I mean what have
you on foot?"
"Shoes," said Wagge solemnly.
"Oh, come off, Wagge. What are
you up to these days?"
"Date," sighed Wagge.
"I'll give you just one more chance,
you poor frivol, you. What are you
doing now?"
"Everybody," said Wagge.
"As usual, eh?" said Singleton as he
shoved the remains down the nearest
available coal hole.
The Word "Derrick."
The word "derrick" for a machine
used to lift heavy weights is curiously
derived from a London hangman in the
beginning of the seventeenth century
whose name was Theodoric and who
is often mentioned in old plays. "He
rides circuit with tbe devil, and Der-
rick must be his host and Tyborne tbe
Inn at which be will light" occurs' In
"The Beliman of London," published
In 1616. The name thus corrupted
came afterward to be 'applied by an
easy transition to the gallows and later"
still to any frame or contrivance re-
sembling it in sbape.
How a Meaning Changes.
"Cheat" is a word that now has a
very ugly sound. To cheat a man is to
defraud him. Originally the word con-
veyed no such meaning. The old word
"escheat" referred to the dues that fell
to the crown. It came from the French
echoir (Latin, excadere). The modern
meaning that attaches to the word tells
a sad tale of the extortion and greed
that must have been practiced In col-
lecting the does.

CHANGED IRON TO COPPER.
Curious Transformation Wrought by
Nature's Alchemy.
Not so very long ago a curious find
was made in oue of the copper mines
at El Cobre. Cuba. These mines,
once among the richest in the world,
were abandoned for a long time on ac-
count of the insurrections in Cuba
against the Spanish rule. In 1868 the
coal supply was cut off by the insur-
gents, and consequently pumping be-
came impossible, and the mines be-
came filled with water.
After the Spanish war an American
company bought the mines and pro-
ceeded to pump out tbe water. In one
of the shafts thus made accessible
was found what once represented an
iron pickax as well as some crowbars.
The metal in these implements had, it
is said, turned to copper. Extraordi-
nary as this may appear, it can be
scientifically explained.
The water, filtering through the rock
and the copper ore veins dissolved
some of the copper, the solution con-
taining sulphate of copper. As soon
Its the sulphuric acid in this solution
touched the iron it at once dissolved
that metal and deposited copper In its
place, for sulphuric acid has a greater
Malty for iron than for copper. In
the process certain impurities which
had existed in the iron were left be-
hind undisturbed. The wooden handle
of the as wits In good condition. The
Metal was porous and irregular in
'shape, but in the general outline pre-
sernd the form Of -the ns, somewhat
