Many of the farmers throughout Ireland are being presecuted for de- manding outrageous prices for potatoes. The farmers of Antrim, Monaghan and Armagh are putting every posâ€" sible road of their ground under till- age this year. The appointment of James Cham- bers, M.P., as Solicitor-General, will necessitate a bye-election in South Belfast. ““““““ “J” "“" V"“" 'Extraordinary Vai-iety of Material The Clougher Guardians have de- - cided to reduce the rations of the ofâ€" Used m Medent warfare ficials of the county workhouse.

The variety of material used in modern warfare is simply extraordin- gary. $6.50 a hundredweight was paid last summer by the French for dried walnut leaves. It is said that these are used for staining the faces and hands of sharpshooters so as to dark- en their complexions. We know that white mice used to be kept in submarines to give timely notice of the escape of injurious gases. ‘It appears that there is now a de- mand for snails for the French air- ‘craft service. These apparently use- less creatures have, it seems, a most amazing sense of balance. They know instantly when one side or the other of an aeroplane is higher or lower than the opposite side, and immediately be- gin climbing up the incline so caused, A pilot, therefore, has only to place a few snails on the fuselage of his ma- chine, in front of him, and can then get an indication of his balance with a minimum of trouble. It should be added that, when in cloud, it is next to impossible to judge of the tilt of a plane without some specialdell-tale. Now the mystery is explained. The heather is laid in thick layers in front of their trenches, and when a cloud of poison-gas begins to drift across is‘ at once fired. The heat of the fierce blaze naturally creates an upward cur- rent, and the gas is thus carried up and dissipated harmlessly. , Mothers who have once used Baby's Own Tablets for their little ones are . always strong in their praise of this ‘ medicine.

The little Duke of Norfolk, new hereditary Earl Marshal of England, does not come of age till 1929 so he would obviously be unable to carry out the duties of his office in the event of a great State function, such as, say, the marriage of the Prince of Wales. Those duties are anything but nom- inal. At the last coronation, for ex- ample, the late Duke dealt with about 'two million letters, in addition to stageâ€"managing the entire ceremonial. Canadian EXpeditionarQ Fvo_rc~e firm/5.7m Him If, as expected, Lord Edmund Talâ€" bot is appointed Deputy Ear] Marshal until the coming of age of the young Duke, general satisfaction will be giv- en.

He had stiffness in the joints, was tired and nervous, and {here were flashes of light before his eyes.
