Lientenart® CGarland as Whenever it became impossible to store more bags of earth and stone in the room the officers carried what bad accumulated to the borders of The hole was dug straight down atl first. The earth, stones and roots of trees that had stood on the l“’? of the prison were carefully concealâ€" ed in small bags. These were piled in the lumber room until opportunity was offered for theitr removal. Floor boards were pried loose in the lumber room and in the middle of December the digging began. It was not difficult at first to remove the earth with the tools at hand, but as the shaft went deeper the task beâ€" eame harder. And with the first step taken, preâ€" parations were made for the taking out of the first shovelful of earth. Uniforms were procured from British privates, prisoners detailed as orderâ€" lies for the British officers. The ofâ€" ficers who composed the working parties each day wore the orderlies‘ uniforms and mingled with the offiâ€" eers so that the German sentries might not notice the absence of the tunnel workers. | The lock resisted the efforts of the British officers not more than a day. It was successfully picked by one of them. It may interest Hauptmann Neimeyer, comma®ndant of the prison, to know that he was present when the job was done. Long and careful search was then made for a location at which the digâ€" ging could be begun. The entire prison was inspected and it was not until many likely spots had been conâ€" sidered that a tiny, triangularâ€"shaped lumber room under a staircase in one of the buildings was chosen. It never was inspected by the Germans beâ€" cause its door was protected with a huge padlock. Twelve officers whose work in the British army had familiarized them with the details of tunnel construcâ€" tion were chosen as directors of the task. Regular hours of work were allotted to them, and their companâ€" lons in the prison were assigned to certain hours of work each day. There a tunnel similar to that which had been planned at Karisruhe was begun. Under the eyes of scores of armed guards its head was pushed further toward freedom every day. For nine months the digging conâ€" tinued. to the usual questions, told the cusâ€" tomary military Nes about the dispoâ€" gition of the British forces and was sent to the civil prison at Brugge. From Bragge he was taken to Courtrai and from Courtrai he was moved to Karlsruheâ€"a prison reâ€" membered for the treatment its ofâ€" ficials accorded to allied prisoners. There the first serious considention‘ was given the tunnel scheme. Otheri officers who had been in Karisruhe for several months had been busy choosing a spot from which the tunâ€" unel could be begun. In November, 1917, before they could undertake the work, Lieutenart» Garland and tho‘ others were transferred to the Holzâ€" minden prison. l of what was known as the Officers‘ Escape Committee, and comtributed his share to the tedious work of digâ€" wing the tunnel. With twelve differâ€" ent attempts to escape from captivity to his credit on the records of the CGerman War Office, he was regarded as one of the most dangerous and elugive Britich fighting men held prisoner. | He enrolled in vyee soon after war in 1914, and prisoners of war, confined in the miliiary prisun at Mc.zminden, bur rowed under the prison walls and constructed a tunne! three hundred feet in length, lighting it with curâ€" rent taken ir m the prison circu‘t and venillatimg it by means of air pumps procured in the prison store room, is related by Licutenant Edgar H.

These amounts are very materially supplemented by the expenditures on forest fire protection incurred by the Ottawa River, St. Maurice, Laurentian and Southern St. Lawrence forest protective associaâ€" tions, which patrol the great bulk of the licensed and privately owned timâ€" ber lands in the province.

His anâ€" nouncement created consternation for a moment because the officers at once realized just how much work and time had been wasted. But the turn was made and the rock was passed. (To be continued.) | the officers in the hole at the time proved the obstruction too big to be moved back to the shaft and thence to the surface. It could not have been disposed of had it been brought to the lumber room.

Wool should not be used for wrapâ€" ping silver, as animal fibré contains a large amount of sulphur. White eloth is often bleached with sulphur, and will tarnish silver wrapped in it. Jewelers often use a thin coating of shellac on their displays in.order to keep the silver from contact with the air. Trays, candlesticks, cake and fruit stands, and other pieces not frequently used may be treated in this way, as the shellac does not chip off easily. Air contains hydrosulphuric acid, which comes from burning fuels, from cooking, from lighting gases, and from decaying organic matter. For this reason, silverware should be kept out of the kitchen, as vegetables and meats in the process of cooking give off sulphur gases. l Cooking Weights and Measure®. causes are urderstood _ Tarnish is the result of the combination of the silver from sulphur, but this occurs only in moist air.
