The Polarity of Truth. BY this he means
that truth often ELECTS properties apparently

A Watch from A Rivers no
Jewellers Weekly

A silver watch, that appears to bava hoo.
resting on the bottom of the Merrimac Rive
near Lawrence Mass, for century or two
was found by Charles Blackwell recently
Attached to the watch was a long heavy
chain, both ends of which are fast in the
ring, but - inches above the fastening of one
end the chain had been cut nearly In two.
AS the chain is made of silver wire over
an eighth of al inch thick, it must have
taken heavy blow of sharp instrument to
divide it, The outside of the watch was
once finely engraved, but on the side which
lay uppermost the design cannot be de-
cipered. as the action Of the water has
nearly smoothed the plate. The under side
shows the engraving perfectly.
On the face of the watch under the hands,
in small letters, is printed: John Bowles,
HoIologer to his Majesty, 1893 Threadneedle
street, London" On the inside of the outer
case is engraved: Presented to Joshua
Armstrong on his 2lst birthday by his low
ing mother, Prudence Armstrong, April 10,
1920" The watch was found beside an old
musket which bore evidence OF having been
broken in hand to hand struggle. Whether
these relics mark the scene OF an accident
OF tragedy can never be known. They
we're were found near once famous hunting
srouno OF the indians.

When the three thousand men who were
formerly employees of the New York Central
railroad take an inventory Of the results of
their strike they will doubtless be forced to
conclude that sympathy strikes are bad in
vestments. Very few of these 5000 men had
any personal grievance. They struck be-
cause Mr.. Powderly affirmed that certain
other persons did have one. and that 1t was
their dut, to avenge it. Mr.. Powderly
promised them that the Knights would take
care of them while they were out but his
promise was not fulfilled, and now they
End themselves out Of employment and the
strike officially declared off, so that they are
estopped from making any further claim up
on the Knights. The road gives them the
cold shoulder, and the Knights do the same,
and thus they are left to shift for themselves
rs best they can. We venture to say that for
the future most Of these men will refuse to
surrender the power of deciding what is best
for them to any man or set of men. Hence
forth they will do their own thinking, and If
ever again they are asked to avenge other
peoples grievances they will promptly de-
cline,

Encouraged by the result of the recent APP
peal of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad in the
party ticket case to the Supreme Court, in
which the judges overruled the decision of
the interstate commerce commission, the
western railroads have refused to reduce
their grain rates at the command of the
commission, with a view to taking the inter-
state commerce law to the courts for decis-
ion as to its constitutionality. The specific
questions to be raised are, Has the commis-
sion the right to fix rates? Are its powers
mandatory or simply advisory? Was 1t in
tended that 1t should prevent discrimination
or absolutely regulate the price of transport
tation2 And finally, has Congress, under
the constitution, authority to fix rates on
railroads operating under charters granted
by the states through which they passp A
negative answer to any one of these ques-
lions will greatly cripple the commission,
and such an answer to the last one will COM
pletely destroy it. by destroying the law by
which 1t is created.

In an interview recently published in the
Boston Herald. which is reproduced else
where, Mr.. L. B. bennett points out one d.
rection In which the tax commission has not
improved its opportunities for increasing
the income of the state as it ought to. 1t is
well known that Maine timber lands have
for years escaped the burden of taxation to
an extent which few other kinds of property
have. Their valuation has been placed at
ridiculously small figure. and the tax as
sessed on them has been Insignificant, while
their owners, or many Of them. have grown
rich flom their proceeds. No reform in our
taxation will be complete which does not
take account of these facts, and correct the
existing inadequacy Of the value and tax OF
the timber lands.

The Auburn Gazette seconds the Argus's
cry for leader. 1t says the need of one
has been made fully manifest 10 these

Garcelon's council. He would make a
leader whose voice could be heard from
Kittery Point to Quoddy Head.

:. The Democrats, during the past week, have
been able to prevent quorum in the House
by fleeing from the floor and hiding them
selves in the cloak rooms. Under the old
rules they would have accomplished the
same thing by keeping silent and refusing to
vote. The change is positive gain, for the
spectacle of men who are paid $13 day to
do the business of the country fleeing head
long from their duty, smashing doors and
windows and hiding in all sorts of holes to
escape 1t, will make an impression upon the
people which sitting silent never could,
and convince them of the need of the re-
forms which Speaker Reed has introduced,
and of more in the same direction.

PERMANENT REVOLUTION.
Cincinnati Commercial GaZette.l
Speaker Reed has infused more life and
common sense into the present Congress than
all of his predecessors. This is called ''revo
lutionary" by Democratic platforms and
orators. but the revolution has come TO stay
In the House of Representatives. The Dusl-
ness spirit which animates the House at
present has been felt in the Senate, and pub
lie opinion will constrain both houses of
Congress to attend to their legislative duties
and to do the public work like men who are
under the eye of the people, whom they are
both honored and paid to serve faithfully
and diligently. No more lodging: no more
evasion Of duty! That is the message from
the people to Congress.

COL. ROBERT AS A REFORMER
He Has Begun to Strike o. ut in New Direc-

He Has Begun to Strike Out in New Direc-
tiOns.
The police department is not the only object
Col. Robert has devoted his attention to since
he assumed official duties as Engineer Commits
sioner of the District. The Colonel did not
exactly fancy the way affairs were run here by
the police, and though it was outside his partic-
llar province, with the sanction of his fellow
Commissioners, he commenced an investigation,
and the disclosures rather surprised people.
While he has not allowed the police affair to
drop, Col Robert is now directing his attention
to a new field, and that is the corraling of all
known houses of ill-repute within that portion
of the city known as the Division, or between
Tenth and Fifteenth streets and PENNSYLVANIA
avenue and B street northwest. The idea of
COL Robert is that as these places exist almost
from necessity, it is best to keep them within a
certain limit; hence the bringing them to the
care of the First Precinct. In the last ten
years, in the neighborhood of Seventeenth to
Nineteenth streets and from f to b streets,
several of these houses have been established,
but they have recently been cleared out and
the propretors are now seeking quarters in
that portion of the Division set aside for them.
-Four such houses were closed up last week in
Lieut.. Kely's baliwick, and every other pre-
cinct is receiving the same attention This
policy is conducive of much good, for it rids
respectable localities of resorts that were
standing impediment to the Improvement of the
section. 1t at the same time has given real
estate boom in the Division, and property
there has increased 100 per cent, while rents
have advanced proportionately.
The retail liquor dealers some time ago com
/ planned that the formation of so many alleged
literary, social, and athletic clubs was affecting
their business disastrously. Many of these
clubs have unlicensed bars, and are nightly
crowded. Colonel Robert thinks these club
houses are a curse, and he intends pushing a
case, in order to test the legality of their incor-
poration. Whenever the cases have been
brought before the Police Court the clubs were
upheld, but now Col. Robert intends taking
the matter to the higher courts for adjudication.
! 1t promises to be lively fight.

SOME HOT SUMMERS.
Great Rivers of Europe Dried Up and Nuts
Were Baked on the Trees.

A German writer, dealing with certain prog
nostications usually heard at this time of the
year. of great summer heat, goes back for pre-
cedents. In 627, he says, the springs were
dried up, and men tainted with the heat. In
$40 it was impossible TO work in the open fields.
III the year 993 the nuts on the trees were
''roasted" as if in a bakers oven. In 1000 the
rivers in France dried up, and the stencil from
the dead fish and other matter brought pesti-
lence into the land The heat in the year 1914
dried up the rivers and the brooks in Alsace-
Lorraine. The Rhine was dried up in the year
1882. In the year 1852 the heat was so great
that eggs could be cooked in the sand. In 1927
it is recorded that many men and animals came
by their death through the intense heat. In
the year 1903 the waters of the Rhine and the
Danube were partially dried up, and people
passed over on foot. The crops were burned
up in the year 1894, and in 1888 the Seine and
the Loire were as dry land. In 1856 a great
drouth swept through Europe. In 1914 in
France and even in Switzerland the brooks and
the bitches were dried up. Not less hot were
the years 1916, 1879, and 170l. In the year l715
from the month of March till October not a
drop of rain fell; the temperature rose to $50
Reaumur, and in favored places the fruit trees
blossomed a second time. Extraordinarily hot
were the years 1924, l746, 1856, and 1911. The
summer Of 1915 was so hot (the thermometer
standing at 400 Reaumur) that the places of
amusement had to be closed

NIONEY-EARNING WOMEN.
Some Who Have Made Fortunes by Pluck
and Industry.


Some one who is well informed writes as fol-
lows about money-earning women. Mme
Modjeska could raise $4,000 on personal valu-
ables tomorrow if anything happened to her
Mrs. Mary Livermore has $75, 900 of the S120000
made from her lectures, and hapless Anna
Dickinson, who cleared $4,000 in one season
and 100000 in ten, hasn't dollar of it left
But she is wiser than she was. Mrs. Harriet
Prescott Spofford has published ten books
in the last forty years. the proceeds of which
amounted to about $1,000 each Ouida has
earned more money than any woman of the
century, with the exception of Nine. Patti.
Mrs. Southworth's novels brought her fortune.
Mrs. Harriet Hubbard Aver is coming money.
With the exception of Mrs William II. Van
derbilt, Mrs. Mary Ann Connolly, who came to
the country forty-odd years ago as a steerage
passenger, and who pulled basting stitches for
two years, has more money in her own right
than any of the Vanderbilt women, every penny
of which she made with her needle. She owns
about ten cottages at Long Branch, facetiOusly
known as the ''Party Dresses, one of which is fit
for a king and brings in kingly rent every
summer. The most successful mOney-lender
among modern women is Lydia Van Finkelstine,
a native of Palestine, a woman of about twenty
eight. and something of a linguistic wonder.
She lectures or talks rather, on the Holy Land,
knows the whole geography of Asia Minor, and
could enlighten Col. Ingersoll on the mistakes
of the Bible, which she knows from cover to
cover. In a little less than six years this large
blonde biblical talker has cleared 500, 900. She
gets 500 lecture, with percentage of the re-
ceipts, and talks from October to May, often
giving three lectures day
