HOW FRANCE FIGHTS.
(Leslie's Weekly.)
The following letter was written
from the Yervlun battle front by a
French artilleryman who left New
York City at the beginning of the
war to take his place in the French
army. It is addressed to a relative
in New York- It is printed here
as an indication of the temper of
the French army.
■'Hastily answering your letter
received iast night- I want to thank
you very much for the money you
sent me- Since here \v« are all one
! family, it vrjjl be of the same bene
. tit to ail of us. We are constantly
changing places, but I believe that
we are now close to ti^ last phase
of the war. The Germans have not
nor will they ever take Verdun.
Y'ou ought to see the number of
corpses they leave on that battle
f.eld It is something frightful
"The German war communications
are sometimes unreliable On many
occassio&s when they were actually
losing both ground and men, they
reported that they were gaining I
assure you that the man who shaii
have the good fortune to come out
of this war alive will have some
thing to ted of what he saw. so
wonderfu; and yet so terrib.e—hor
rib.e and unforge table- Here we I
never have any peace There is
battle is the air. battle underground j
and battle on the seas
“Aa for me. I never feel sc
saia as when I am a: my ‘75’ gun
A* present we have a great many
new very large guns which are
designed to be the deciding factors
of the war In my section we have
nothing but automobiles mounted
with guns Some of these are Amer
ican. and they are very good. With |
these we can go very swiftly every,
where- especially where there is a j
tight and ear guns have nothing j
to envy those of the *Bc«hes-’
"In the French army wfi have a
great many good leaders ar.-d every
man is not only duly bound but
gladly gives up his life for h’s
country. With these elements ex
isting. together with the courage
already displayed, we fee’ confident
of victory. I am only attempting j
to g~.TA ye a a er.irr.p?^ of what is ’
going on here, for if I had time I j
could po&sic-.y write volumes cor
eerantg the war
"T>o you know, that I do not re
gret having come here as I fee! I
have fulfilled my sacred duty. I
shal. have a rreat dead to say if
I live through this struggle and
shall feel proud to be able to sav j
that my efforts. no matter how j
insignificant, helped to bring about j
a glorious victory "
WHAT A MILLION YEARS MEAN;
Astronomers and geologists habi-'
:ua..y dea. in large numbers- It
is utterly impossible to conceive of
a billion ffiiies, and even the fam
iliar illustration of a railway train
go-ng so many mi.es an hour for i
so many years conveys a very
vague idea
It is equa..y difficu.t to form an
idea of the vast period of time with
which geologists deal What idea j
.an many wh•„ ..mined a hun
dred years, form of a nriiiion
years?
Prof. Cro.. tells how a striking
impression of such a .apse of time
may be partially conveyed to the
mind i
“Stretch a “piece of paper S3
feet 4 inches long around the
walla of a room somewhat over 20
feet square, recall the events of
life to give some conception of a
hundred years, and then consider
that a mark one tenth of an inch
broad at one end of the paper
represents the century, while the
whole strip gives place for only a
million years-”
A geologist points out an even
more striking illustration that may
be seen in the works of N a lure
Coaid we stand upon the edge of
a gorge a mile and a half in
depth, tha; had been cat out of the
solid rock by a tiny stream scarce
ly visible at the bottom of this -
terrible abyss, and were we in
formed that this little streamlet
was able to wear off annually only
one-tenth of an inch from its rocky
bed, what would oar conception
be of the prodigious ength of
/irate that this stream nrnst have
taken to excavate the gorge? We
should certainly fee! startled or.
-'".riding that the stream had per
formed this enormous amount of
work is something less than a mil
lion yeare

LEGS.
Legs are used for various pur
'poees; to display in windows, to
proridm cold feet in winter, to cross,
to wear si.k stockings upon, and to
rest on while getting out of ones

once employed for purposes of wa!k

ONCE GROWING COMMUNITY
OF SHAKERS IS NO MORE
ENFIELD. Conn. May 24—The
Shaker community which flourished
here for more than 100 years and
which once numbered 200 persons,
is no more
Only half a dozen of the mem
bers of the cult which barred liquor
I and tobacco and ate little or no
meat remain, and they have sold
the 1-700 broad acres and $180,000
worth of buildings which formerly
j were needed
I; is a strange freak of fate that
1 the 'and is now being used to grow
, tobacco and the community houses
I hospital, church, school and cottages
! are being converted into quarters
for the workers in the tobacco fields
j and into tobacco factories
Tn-e Shakers, an off shoot, of the
takers, comprised four thousand
-Ten. women and children in twenty
communities in 1887 Twenty years
ater there were only one thousand
' and the number of communities
was reduced to eight.
