REPORTED THE MOST
BRILIANT CHARGE
ACCOMPLISHED BY RUSSIANS
AT THE CAPTURE OF
ERZERUM
LONDON, Feb. 23.—The fall of
Erzerum, the most important Turk
ish stronghold in Asia Minor and
for a long time considered impreg
nable, offers the unprecedented
spectacle of a first class fortress
built on a steep mountain ridge
nearly a mile above sea level, yeild
ing to a bayonet attack after only
26 hours bombardment.
The operations were conducted
under the most severe weather con
ditions, the snow being deep and
the thermometer registering at
times more than thirty degrees be
low zero.
After taking of Niksala, it ap
peared that the Russian attack
would be directed upon the Turk
ish right flank and by rapidly
transfering troops the Turks made
all plans to resist the main assault
from this quarter. Apparently
they had litte fear of the success
of this attack because of the strong
character of the fortifications in
that direction and even less appre
hension of danger from a frontal
attack.
Nevertheless after the Russians
took by storm the first line of forts
on Feb. 2 there began a persistent
bombardment of the Turkish cen
ter, followed by a bayonet charge,
the impetuosity of which swept the
defenders off their feet. The high
est tribute is paid to the Caucasian
troops whose charge is likely to go
down in history as one of the most
brilliant feats of the war.
It is recognized here that the suc
ces of the assault was due almost
entirely to the bayonet work of
these troops since the artillery
preparation was insufficient to re
duce even a strong field position.

CURE FOR GRIP IS IN THE
THYROID GLAND
—*
Dr. Charles d‘Artois Francis of
St. Marks avenue, Brooklyn Bo
rough, New York, says that he has
discovered a cure for grip in thyroid
gland, desiccated; Dr. Francis re
ports that he had used this remedy
in 200 cases, in half of which it was
administered remedically and in half
as a prophylactic.
“I have made a special study of
grip,” says Dr. Francis, ‘‘in private
research work for some years, and
after considerable experimenting I
have found what I consider a speci
fic remedy. It has effected cures in
100 cases and secured complete im
munity from grip in 100 other cases.
I have used thyroid gland, desiccated
as a prophylatic for grip. In the
cases where my patients had already
contracted the disease all were cured
in from 72 to 144 hours, with all
the symptoms disappearing.
‘I do not mean that I secured per
petual immunity in the other cases.
The immunity extends over a great
er or less period. I have found that
the thyroid will produce immunity in
certain patients for a certain length
of time, sometimes a year. It loses
its effect after that time, but the
prophylactic can again be resorted
to and immunity secured once more
for another period.
‘‘As a remedy, thyroid desiccated
gland has really proved a specific.
The principle of its use is this: It
contains substances which increase
the ferments of the body and destroy
the bacillius of influenza and its pro
duct. Of course thyroid gland de
siccated can be given only under the
direction of a physician. The dose
as a prophylatic is two grains
thyroid gland, desiccated, at 11 a.
m. and 4 p. m. The dose for those
who have contracted the disease is
two grains thyroid gland, desiccated
three or four times daily.”

HOW THE AEROPLANE FINDS
THE SUBMARINE
The war of aeroplane against sub
marine is the greatest novelty of the
present conflict. It has required
considerable experimentation to ar
rive at the best method of finding
the submarine, when submerged for
the observer in the aeroplane cannot
rely upon his naked eye alone.
The aeronaut uses something like
a telescope with the end directed
downward. A mirror before his
eyes shows him all that is pasing be
—
\
neath. Should he fly very close to
the water the range of vision beco
mes very very narrow, for the space
under the telescopic eye is proporti
onate to the distance of the aero
plane from the surface of the water
In other words, the higher an aero
plane flies the more he can see, be
cause his field of vision is In propor
tion to the height at which he flies.
For this reason, British aeronauts
when searching for submarine prey
fly rather high, and thus cover a
wide space of the sea as they sweep
over it. There is another advantage
in flying high. The observers in
the submarine cannot see more than
a shadow when they are submerged
and the high-flying aeroplane casts
no shadow as the low-flying one
does.

MANUFACTURING OPTICAL
GLASS IN AMERICA
The glass used in this country for
the maunfacture of lenses is prac
tically all imported except in the
case of some of the smaller and
cheaper lenses, says the Scientific
American. For several years past
the bureau of standards of the de
partment of commerce has been en
deavoring to persuade the glass
manufacturers of the United States
to take up the manufacture of this
material, but they have been unable
to do so, partly because of the limit
ed quantity used as compared with
other glass, but largely on account
of the varying composition required
and the difficulty of annealing the
glass, as good optical glass must be
entirely free from strain.
With the view of working out
some of the underlying problems
sufficiently to allow manufacturers
to start in this matter, the bureau
secured, two years ago, an expert
interested in the composition and
testing of optical systems, and a
little later secured another man
skilled in the working of glass to
definite forms required by the theo
ry. These steps were taken, first,
partly because it is exceedingly dif
ficult to find men having these
qualifications, but principally be
cause, as the work of experimental
glass-making progresses, the glass
must be put in the form of lenses
and prisms to test; in other words,
the bureau had to be in a position
to examine the product, as it was
made experimentally. In July, 1914
a practical glass maker was added
to the force of the bureau. He is
a college graduate of scientific
training, but skilled in the manipul
ation of furnaces, and is the sort
of a man to make progress at the
present stage of the work.
Small furnaces were built and
melts of a few pounds of ordinary
glass were made in order to become
more familiar with the technical side
A larger furnace has just been com
pleted, which will handle melts of
25 to 50 pounds. The bureau is
now making glass according to de
finite formulas, studying the meth
ods of securing it free from bubbles
and other pratical points. This is
to be followed by an investigation
of the method of annealing.
Several glass manufacturers have
visited the bureau already for sug
gestions as to equipment for the
manufacture of optical glass.
