"Appearances," says the adage, "are deceitful"; but still more deceitâ€" ful are names. Some of the phrases which we use in order to describe articles are, in fact, sheer lies. What are camelâ€"hair brushes? Are they made from the hair of camels? Not a bit. They are made from the tails f Russian and Siberian â€" squirrels. /hence comes India ink? From Inâ€" dia? By no means. It comes from China. The French are sensible, and cal! it "Chinese ink." Nor does indiaâ€" rubber come from our Imperial posâ€" session, but from Central and South America. The Serbians have assumed the ofâ€" fensive against the Bulgarians, and have entered Bulgarian territory at several points. An unofficial despatch from Sofia contains this news. It says that on October 12 the Serbians crossed the frontier and attempted to occupy the heights of Koritzka. The extent of the Bulgarian invaâ€" sion up to the present, according to a despatch from Nish, consists of an advance over the frontier at one point of a mile. With this exception the fighting line remains intact and the railways have not yet been reached. The Vienna statement says that progress has been made south of Belâ€" grade, and that on the lower Drina, on the western side of Serbia, the Serbians have been driven from some of their trenches. From Berlin it is learned that Pozarevac is practically enveloped. This town is ten miles south of the Austrian frontier, and is a little east of the branch railway. which runs south from Semendria to Plana, 25 miles away, where it connects with the main line of the Orient railway. A despatch from London says: Both the German and Austrian War Offices claim that progress was made in Serbia, but the facts as detailed in the respective statements do not reâ€" veal a rapid advance. In fact, they indicate just the opposite, a very slow forward movement being made in the face of furious and effective resistance by the courageous Serbs.

Before the war opened, Simon Lake, an Ameriâ€" can builder of submarines, invented a vessel of the underâ€"water type which could lay these deadly explosive agents. The Germans have merely proved that the method is practic-‘ able." NAMES ARE DECEITFUL. . _ When the French were gassed we had seen something of it, but only the slighter cases had passed through our hands; now we were to see it at ; its worst. When I arrived at our adâ€" | vanced dressingâ€"station I found it full | to overflowingâ€"houses, barns, outâ€" | houses, stables, and on the ground in the yard and garden they lay to the \ number of 300, faces purple, twisting, and writhing in agony, dying by long, . drawnâ€"out torture.

Wednesday, May 5, again the gas > swept down upon us, and "Hill 60" was lost. Major Hannafin and hi'--! helpers were at their wits‘ end; in 20 hours they had over 1,200 cases to deal with; more than 100 died in the dressingâ€"stations and in one regiment alone they had over 100 deaths. | The immediate result was a fourâ€" mile breach in our line, and through this gap the Germans were pouring in their thousands. A wilder battle has scldom been fought, and the prodiâ€" gies of valor displayed are almost without parallel. The story of how the Canadian division flung themâ€" selves into the gap has already been told by abler pens than mine. Days of Horror. The chaplain describes the days that followed as "monotonous in their horâ€" ror." Then came Sunday, May 2, when he was brought for the first time actually face to face was gas warfare. As he says: Then there staggered into our midst French soldiers, blinded, coughâ€" ing, chests heaving, faces an ugly purâ€" ple colorâ€"lips speechless with agony, and behind them, in the gasâ€"choked trenches, we learned they had left hundreds of dead and dying comrades.

Mr. James Rodway, who is the curâ€" ’ator of the British Guiana Museum and an eminent botanist, declares that plants have at least three of our five sensesâ€"feeling, taste, and smell,â€" and that certain tropical trees smell water from a distance, and will move straight toward it. But trees not in the tropics can do as well. A resident ‘ of an old Scotch mansion, says a wriâ€" | ter in the Scotsman, found the waste pipe from the house repeatedly | choked. Lifting the slabs in the baseâ€" | ment paving, he discovered that the pipe was completedy encircled by . poplar roots. They belonged to a tree ; that grew some thirty years away on | the opposite side of the house. Thus the roots had moved steadily t,oward| the house, and had penetrated below | the foundation and across the basoâ€" ment until they reached their goal, [ the waste pipe, a hundred and fifty feet away. Then they had pisreed a cement joining, and had worked their ; way in long, tapering lengths inside the pipe for a considerable distance beyond the house.

The position which they _stormed was on a hill to the east of the village of Haivorenka, on the !right bank of the Stripa, 13 miles north of Buchach. This fortification was constructed scientifically, and was _ of great strength. From this base the Ausâ€" trians had prepared to strike at the Russian left flank extending toward Pinsk. The Russian successes around Kolka and Chartoriesk, however, enâ€" abled them to obtain a footing on the left bank of the Styr, which seriously menaced their opponents.
