THE TANK AND THE
TRACTOR

Major-General E. D. Swinton, of the British army, who adapted the tractor idea to the first military "tank," lately gave in New York an interesting account of the invention. We quote from the New York "Times:"

There had long been a demand for an adequate method of protecting infantry on an advance. The fundamental purpose for which the tank is intended has long been recognized. The ancient Romans had the equivalent of the tank in what were called tortoise, and in the Middle Ages the belfry was used. In this war in particular some antidote for the machine gun was required, for the Germans had learned a lesson from the Russo-Japanese War, and were plentifully supplied with machine guns. The Germans did not mind how many machine guns were captured; each one was used to get the last possible man.

America must be credited with both the machine gun and its antidote, for in Antwerp in 1914 a friend of mine saw for the first time an American agricultural caterpillar tractor. He wrote to me, inquiring if there were not some military use to which the idea could be put, and the invention of the tank resulted.

Of course, great secrecy had to be maintained. The first bit of camouflage used in connection with the manufacture of the machines was the name tank. They were called tanks so that not even the workingmen who were making them would know what they were manufacturing, and the rumor was circulated among the men that they were to be used in connection with the watering of our men in Egypt.

Later, when it became time to punch holes in their sides for the guns, another story had to be invented. It was then rumored that they were snow-plows to be used in Russia, and to carry out this deception each tank was stenciled with a Petrograd address, and when the tanks were finally shipped it was generally believed that they were going to Petrograd.

In the final days of the construction of the tanks 700 sentries, in three cordons, were thrown around the field in which stood the tanks. Matters were so arranged that the sentries of the outside cordon were not even aware of what was going on inside. It was shortly before the first of the tanks was shipped to France, in September, 1915, that a Zeppelin hovered over the tanks one night. The Zepp, however, came accidentally, and, as they did not throw a searchlight to the earth, the secret was never discovered. Its crew, accordingly, departed without knowing how close they have come to making a great discovery.

A CONFESSION OF FAITH

Mr. M. C. Coggeshall, 149 Broadway, New York City, sends us the following old confession of faith. He does not know how old it is nor by whom it was written. He tells us that his mother heard it when a child from an old Quaker minister-that is, over a hundred years ago. He would like to know what the origin of this confession is. He adds: "The confession has two parts. To say the first part is comparatively easy. If we have all the comforts and enjoyments of life, we can afford to give Him the first place. But the second part is a very different thing." The confession is as follows:

Oh Thou bounteous Giver of all good, Thou art of all Thy gifts Thyself the crown. Give what Thou wilt; without Thee we are poor; and with Thee rich, take what Thou wilt away.

"At the time of the Civil War," an old soldier writes to his farm paper, "there were four boys in our family. Three of them enlisted, leaving father on the farm with one boy, eleven years old. Father said he was glad to have us go, if we could be of more help to the country that way. One of our neighbors also had a family of children-too young to enlist. So he went himself. The neighbors took care of his family till the end of the war. No one is doing now around here what we did forty-five years ago. We know very little about sacrifice yet. But we old men, the few remaining members of the G. A. R. post, all want to live to see the Huns beaten to a frazzle." If the country's young men live up to the traditions of these veterans, their wish will surely come true.

A fortnightly newspaper is published by the youthful guests of the State Home for Boys at Jamesburg, New Jersey. The news is gathered by boy reporters at the different cottages. A characteristic item is the following, which is not without its intimation that its subject who is leaving is luckier than the reporter who remains: "Our paroled boy is who was

paroled to his home in Jersey City. We wish him success and hope he never returns to the institution again.'

Speaking of certain novels in which the hero suffers so greatly that the reader wonders if the limits of endurance have not been passed, the "Christian Register" says that these novels bring to mind the man who had listened to a vivid portrayal of the pains of hell. In a climax the preacher declared that these pains would be everlasting. His auditor, who was reflective lasting. His auditor, who was reflective and skeptical, expressed his dissent in an aside to his neighbor: "In my opinion, sir, the human constitution can't stand it."

Odd things crop up in the daily browsings of a "miscellaneous reader." Here are a scattering few: What is "Nfld."? An abbrevation for Newfoundland used in a nautical magazine. What is a waplalo club"? "The young ladies' Sunday-school ladies' Sunday-school classes... met and organized a waplalo club and will do Red Cross work in the future each week"-Omaha "Bee," June 16. And this from a guide-book that bristles with the extravagant claims of " first-class" hotel advertisements: "Hotel Schott, Lucerne. Second class, with all modern comfort."

Patents taken out by a Government Bureau for its own inventions and then made free to users seem to be a novelty, but perhaps are not. At any rate, the Bureau of Mines announces an electric melting furnace that, it is reported, "may be revolutionary in the making of brass." Patents on this furnace, we read, have been taken out by the Bureau and assigned to Secretary Lane as trustee. Free licenses to operate these furnaces under the patents, it is understood, can be obtained by making application through Mr. Van H. Manning,

Director of the Bureau of Mines.

When the war is happily over, what a field there will be for collectors of souvenirs during the next century! One of the prizes that will no doubt be treasured by some fortunate individual will be the Red Cross flag that flew over the dome of the Capitol at Washington during the recent Red Cross week. No flag except that of the United States, it is said, had ever flown there be

fore. This Red Cross flag bears the signature of the President of the United States, who is also the President of the Red Cross, and the signatures of the Vice-President and the Speaker of the House. It is for sale, and the proceeds are to go into the Red Cross treasury.

A household implement that may save thumb-nails and prevent the temptation to Mechanics.' use hard language is described in "Popular It is simply a long stick with

a graduated slot in one end. In this slot a wire nail of any size may be inserted and firmly held. There is then no danger of hitting one's thumb with the hammer when the nail is driven home.

"I entered a drug-store, and, being a privileged character, walked right in back of the prescription counter," says a Chicago physician writing to the "Journal of the

American Medical Association." "There was an open Bible lying on the counter. I said, 'What's the joke? The clerk answered, 'No joke at all. I am filling a prescription.' He explained that a colored gentleman had come in with that Bible and

referred him to Exodus xxx. 23-26. The clerk filled the prescription." The recipe given in Exodus is described there as "an holy anointing oil."

Readers who like to crack hard nuts occasionally may find something to their liking in "The New Rationalism," by Professor Edward G. Spaulding, of Princeton University. In a keen metaphysical discussion of monism this sentence occurs: "The universe, therefore, may be, as a totality, in one-one correspondence with the number 1." The thought would no doubt have pleased that great master of metaphysics, Jonathan Edwards, who was one of the early presidents of Princeton.

At a dinner in Edinburgh, says Mr. E. V. Lucas, Baron Kickuchi, Principal of Tokyo University, was a guest. An Englishman present told the story of a Scotchman who went to his dentist with an aching tooth and was asked if he would have gas; he replied that he would, but should like to count his money first. Everybody laughed but the Baron. A Scotchman attempted to explain the joke as to the alleged foibles of his race; the Baron remained impassive. Others tried, but the Baron said, "I do not understand." Finally he stopped the explanations. "Gentlemen," he said, " you do not understand what I do not understand." His listeners gave rapt attention. "What I do not understand," he went on, "is not why the Scotchman said what he did, but how any Scotchman should not know, at any time, without having to count it, how much money he has in his pockets." The laugh was on the hosts of the "dense" Oriental.
