This marvel- ous offering which will be shown at the Hub theater Saturday,“ Sunday and Monday, is the first authentic history in pictures of the struggle which began jn Europe in 1914, when a mad monarch gave expression to his lust for world domination by declar- ing war virtually against all of the universe outside of Germany and Austria. The interesting sequence of ~ the hundreds of:scenes have made “Crash ing Through to Berlin” a desired aid of textbooks and newspaper reports of the struggle. The picture starts with the funeral of Archduke Fran- cis Ferdinand of Austria, who was slain in 1914, and over whom Aus- tria, at the instigation of Germany raised an issue which involved all Europe. * Then follows the Russian mobil- ization, the resistance of the Bel- gians when the Germans tried to vio-- late their territorial integrity, then the springing of France to arms. The action continues as England, Italy and other Allies efiter the conflict down to the entry of the United States and -eetual participation of American troops. DESERTION 1S CHARGED IN OWORGE, COMPLAINTS brought forward as the first American author. An article In a recent num- ber of the new monthly magazine, In- ter-America, presents a well docu- mented discussion of the relative claims, in which the author concludes that the honor still remains with Mexico. The first book, In his finding, by a native Ameriéan author was printed by Juan de Leon, in Sevilla, in the year 1594, There exist copies, of this priceless edition tn the collection of the Hispanic Soclety of America, in New York, in that of the Duke de T’Serelues in Sevilla. When Alchemy Flourished. * The cult of alchemy was at its zenith during the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth genturies, holding thp place with many that religion did with oth- ers. People believed implicitly inthe existence of the philosopher’s stone, and pinned their faith to its potency to an incredible extent. It whs, of course, in the great majority of cases, simply a matter of suggestion accept- ed by those who were on the outlook for the means of increasing wealth. And there were many who drew no distinction between the philosopher's stone, which was supposed to have the power of transmuting the base into the noble metals, and what was called would promote and preserve health and increase longevity. Thus the ap- peal was also made to credulity through the desire for health and the fear of disease. Measuring the Height of Clouds, A scientist attached to oge of the burealis at Washington: has been en- gaged in measuring the height of clouds by photogtaphy. Simultane- ous pictures of a cloud were ninde by two cameras placed 600 feet apart and’ onnected by telegraph wires. From the amount of displacenient of the cloud caused by viewing it alternately its height could be calculated. Some of the “mackerel sky” clouds photo- graphed wefe seven and a quarter milles high. The loftiest clouds whose Desertion is set forth as cause for divorce in two complaints filed in dis- trict court this week,-one of Samuel blat, who’ aecuses his wife of g him, and the other by Ida Mendoza, who complains of a sim- elevation was thus measured belonged to the type known as cirrus, ot “ctirl cloud,” the hetght of which was a lt te more’ than seygntien miles.
