Sample copy will BY THE WAY "The next morning, as treacherous and as hypocritical as ever, a large company of Germans, which included all the principal and senior men, came to his quarters, with a double object to clear themselves (so they alleged) for engaging in a battle the day before contrary to the agreement and to their own request therein, and also by deceit to get what they could in respect of the truce." This is not an extract from an account of current happenings in Russia in respect to the making of peace between that country and Germany. It is from Cæsar's history of his dealings with certain German tribes in the year 55 B.C. Replying to the spokesman of these Germans (who had crossed the Rhine to invade Gaul) the narrative reads: "To this Cæsar replied as seemed good; but the conclusion of his speech was as follows: He could have no friendship with them if they remained in Gaul." These extracts from a famous book are commended to the attention of the powers that be. A subscriber writes, apropos of a recent paragraph in this department, that an "unintentionally irreverent prayer" uttered in perfect solemnity by an old-time hill-town parson was as follows: "O Lord, Thou art like a chipping-squirrel in the wall-Thou canst see us, but we can't see Thee!" In 1775, says C. C. Gill in "Naval Power in the War," David Bushnell, of Connecticut, built the "diving boat "known as the "American Turtle." Its design was astonishingly modern in many ways. "It was made of iron plates, propelled by a screw, and guided by a compass made visible by phosphorus. The torpedo was car ried outside.... These attempts with the submarine and the torpedo, although they did very little actual harm, caused so much alarm... that it is perfectly fair to say that the submarine and torpedo had a tactical value in the Revolutionary War." John M. Browning, the inventor of the Browning automatic gun, is, according to the New York "Sun," a resident of Ogden, Utah. He has been making guns since boyhood, and comes by his interest in them honestly, his father having been a Sun" states, the 66 Important to gunsmith. He is, the Sun When you notify The Outlook if possible, two weeks before originator of the machine gun used by the United States forces during the Spanish War and the Boxer uprising. A bullet from a Browning automatic pistol, it is said, killed the Austrian Archduke whose death precipitated the war. An English paper prints this goodnatured joke at the expense of the Irish recruit: "The little Irishman was being examined for admission to the army. He seemed all right in every way except one. The doctor said: You're a little stiff.' Quickly the Irish blood mounted as the applicant retorted: And you're a big stiff!'" The Recruiting Service of the United States Shipping Board has, according to "Shipping," appointed an official chantey man, Mr. Stanton H. King, who is described as the country's best-known chantey singer. His work will be to revive chantey singing among merchant sailors on the new sailing vessels. The singing of these songs insures team work when a crew are pulling on ropes or performing other duties that require united action. "To hear Mr. King lead his sailor friends in Shenandoah," Bound for the Rio Grande,' or 'Blow the By the Way (Continued) Man Down,'" says the journal quoted, "is to understand the psychologic punch of the well-sung chantey.' A Nevada subscriber bewails the loss to the tables of the country of 1,500 jack rabbits which he saw just after they had been destroyed by poison. This huge pile of good food, he says, might have helped out on the meatless day or the day after. This systematic poisoning of rabbits by the Biological Survey should, he says, be abandoned in favor of some less wasteful method of ridding the country of these pests, which furnish really good eating. But he suggests no alternative method of killing them by wholesale. Perhaps some other reader can? The seamen who come to New York left the unprecedented sum of $533,459 for safekeeping with the Seamen's Church Institute last year. They could afford to do this because their wages are now higher than ever before known. The men who were drawing $30 a month before the war are now getting $60, and in addition they receive a fifty per cent bonus for hazardous trips through the submarine-infested waters, bringing their earnings up to $90 a month. An odd reminder of the days when phrenology was popular as a means of "reading character," with a sly dig at the tendency of its professors to give complimentary explanations of the "bumps," is found in a letter from Elizabeth Barrett Browning advertised for sale in a London bookseller's catalogue. It reads in part: "Do you believe in phrenology? Did you ever consult a phrenological oracle? and did it answer, My son, thou art invincible'?" A theater devoted to magical mysteries and the conjuring art is planned for New York City, under the management of Houdini, a past-master of this kind of entertainment. "From the minute one enters the portals," an announcement says, "everything will smack of the black arts. The hand which reaches out for the money at the ticket office will have no apparent connection with any human form, and a voice from nowhere will direct the audience to their seats. Music will be furnished by invisible chimes." "The Student Council showed a good spirit last week," says the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin,' ""when it put itself on record in favor of opening and closing the exercises of the University one hour earlier each day for the sake of saving the fuel used for lighting purposes." This news item may serve as a reminder that Congress has yet to pass on the Daylight Saving Bill. "A Yankee in the Trenches," Corporal Holmes, after being disabled during an attack, says: "Back in hospital I was found to be suffering from shell shock. Also my heart was pushed out of place. I was sore all over, and several ribs were pulled around so that it was like a knifethrust at every breath. My nerves were shattered. I jumped a foot at the slightest noise. I asked the M. O. [doctor] if I would get Blighty [be sent home], and he said he didn't think so, not directly. I told him if this jamming wasn't going to get me Blighty, I wanted to go back to duty and get a real one. He laughed and tagged me for a beach resort on the northern coast of France. . . . I think that glorious week at the beach made the hardships of the front almost worth while." At the end of the week Corporal Holmes was sent back to his battalion to get "a real one."
