The Hague. Dec. 19, ,Here is ll little incident of the daily life of lieu. eral Pau,a hero of the _Franco-Pi-ling- hm war,in which he lost an arm,jnnd of the present conflict:
A dozen French lnfuntrymen, mud
hegrimcd, are resting in a drizzling rain on the wayside under the dripll. ing trees..'I‘he corporal sits and ti-ies ‘ in vain to light his pipe, at intervals singing lustily. Suddenly the corporal stands erect; the pipe is hidden behind his buck and he ma-kes a hasty salute. Through the fog and rain one oi the three great leaders.of the French army has appeared. -_ “Why do you not wear llorur cap?" asked General Pau.
“I have lost my cap, general."
"Where did you lose it?" "When we were attacked in the woods this morning. A branch knock- ed it off and I was too much in a hurry to go back and get it. It is gone."
"Take my cap." The corporal fears the end of things -hs will he punished for losing his cap, "Take it, I tell you,and wear it’
says the general. And the humble corporal does as he is told and becomes resplendent like the sun in the cop emblazoned with the glorious golden oak leaves. The general draws‘l'ein and centers a- way.
Since that day the corporal inarclies
along thelcountry rouds to the front- ier,proud in ,the cap of General Pau.

When we turned and began to advance there were many scattered patrols of Uhlans about the roads, and taking messages oiit to the Uavalry Brigades was an exciting pastime; each body of horsemen was approached with cau- tion until one heard them swear in
iinmilstakable Erigl.i%7. It wus,no easy inatter to find tho” ay oh occasions: our maps wvere very good,but. as we had no lights we had to commit the route to memory before we started out for our destination and trust blinding to micmory and map.

And when they began to dry it became E. rout- ine to scrape the clay out of-the vit- riis of the machine every five inilcs or
so.
Food was thc important thing, As
long as we got food we could carry on,with a mlnlum of sleep,hut there were times when we were very hungry

MEASURING THE HEAT OF STARS

ment so delicate tha.t'it records the 'heat of stars, has been completed by one of Uncle .Sain's scientists in the Bureau of Standards. Witli his “cob- web" iiistruinent hc has found out that the heat ol` the North Star, astbc rays fall on one square millimeter, if absorbed and consrved continuously would require ri period of 1,000,000 'years to raise thc temperature of one gram of water one degree centigrade. Also, he has figured out that lt' the lieut of all kuowii stars were concen- trated upon the same work, it would take them betweoii one and two cen- turies to acomplisli it. The rays of the sun will do it in one minute.
