THE JEWISH FLAG.
Unfurled in Chicago for First Time
in Centuries.

Unfurled in Chicago for First Time
in Centuries.
The Hebrew national flag was dedi-
Gated Sunday night in the presence of
the rabbicinal fraternity of Chicago at
LEASING clubhouse. says the Chicago
Record. The Jewish emblem was fur
nished by the Uniformed Rank, Lodge
43, Independent Western Star Order,
and was accepted for the Jews by Rev.
DR.. A. r. Levy. This, it is said, is the
first society in the United States or in
Europe that has adopted a flag to rep
resent their nation.
Since the fall of King Solomon's
temple the Jewish flag has not been
carried, and it was forgotten. In con-
nection with the dedication of the flag
was the installation of officers of the
order, which is composed of West side
Jews.
The official adoption of the flag was
attended with ceremony. The uni
formed rank entered from the vestibule
into the hall with the American flag I'M
furled. The Hebrew national flag was
carried beside it, but concealed. All
that could be seen of the Jewish banner
was dove perched on top of the staff
with its wings outspread. Following
the fag-bearers came the rabbis and the
grand officers of the lodge. After the
officers were installed the members fell
back and surrendered the hall for the
dedication of the flag.
Two altar boys unrolled the cover and
two others carefully unfurled the ban
ner. This was a signal for cheers and
applause. AS the flag was being I'M
furled, flower girls, one representing
Miss Chicago and the other the jew
ish people, strewed the contents of their
basket over its silken folds. In the cen
ter of the flag double triangle of blue,
signifying the shield of King David
stands out on a field of white.
Rev. DR.. A. r. Levy accepted the flag
from the altar boys, and, after giving
a history of the Jewish banner, handed
it over to Adolph Bondy, vice grand
marshal of the lodge. In receiving the
flag he made a speech of acceptance.
The emblem was blessed by the rabbi
cinal fraternity and the lodge took pos
session of it.

FoUR-LEoGED TRADERS.
Mice That Replace with other Ar:l-
cIes All the Things They Steal.

There is a mouse in Florida locally
known as the trading mouse. tits com
monty woods mouse, but it quickly
adapts itself to human habitation. A
colony of such mice carried two bushels
of shelled beans 80 feet during six
nights recently and replaced the beans
with seed pods of a weed. Jewelry, too,
has been taken by these little traders,
says the New York Sun. One woman on
the east coast of Florida at an Indian
river winter resort found number of
seed instead of a pair of earrings that
she had left on the bureau. A search in
the place where the seeds had been
taken disclosed the earrings.
A man who had box of poker chips
in his room in an open-topped box was
surprised to find in their stead a string
of prayer beads, a small crucifix, and a
number of shells. He started an investi-
cation Immediately. A priest who had
roomed near by was equally puzzled by
finding the colored poker chips in his
room.
1t is generally believed that the trad
ing mouse learns its curious ways by
robbing squirrels or blue jays of nuts
laid by for future use.

THE DEATHWATCH.
The Mysterious Sound That Is the
Bugbear of Childhood.

The Mysterious Sound That Is the
Bugbear of Childhood.
In 1868 had two chums of the name
of Seth and Cicero Dodge, who lived
down in the forks of Coon, about four
miles below us, says letter in Forest
and Stream. The boys were hauling
wood to town, and they told me that the
woods down in the forks were alive with
squirrels, and that if would 60 back
with them that evening they would get
their father to let them have the next
day off, and we would have lots of fun.
1 went home and got my No. II muzzle
loader, plenty of ammunition and my
dog, and went home with them. Father
Dodge had built new frame house,
but it was not large enough 10 accom-
modate the family and any strangers,
so Cicero and l slept out in the old log
house. 1 shall never forget the scare
we got that night. AS boys will, we lay
there long time discussing the various
propositions that suggest themselves
to two boy chums who haven't seen
each other for some time. Along
toward midnight we thought we dis
covered the presence of somebody I'M
der our bed. To make it more certain,
we distinctly heard the ticking of his
watch. We became uneasy, for the
ticking of that watch was regular and
incessant. Atlast Cicero quietly slipped
out of bed, went over to the new house
and called his father, who came and in
vestigated. Much to our chagrin the
old gentleman soon discovered that the
cause of our dread and forebodings was
only deathwatch at work in an old log
by the side of the bed.

DANGERS OF OPHTHALMY.
Removal of the Crystalline Lens Re-
quircs Great Care.

While many physicians regard the
operation of removing the crystalline
lens dangerous, because of possibility
of retinal hemorrhage and perhaps
diminution of tension, there are others
who indorse the views of Prof. Herman
Cohn, chief of staff of the Ophthalmic
hospital, Breslau, and Prof. Vincenz
Fukala, of the University of Vienna,
that removal of the crystalline lens is
q cure for myopia, or near-sightedness,
and unaccompanied by danger to the
patient. For centuries this operation
has been resorted to as a cure for cat
aract and now cocaine and antiseptic
surgery render it comparatively safe.
Myopia is caused by a diffusion of light,
and where diffusion is greatest vision
is most impaired. In light the pupil of
the eye contracts and expands again in
darkness. When the pupil is enlarged
the diffusion of light is enlarged. With
age the pupil becomes smaller, hence
the vision of near-sighted people i'm
proves as they grow older.
1t is claimed that when the crystal
line lens is removed the cornea will
concentrate the rays of light. Prof.
Fukala first dared to step from theory
to practice and perform the operation.
After administering cocaine the lens
was punctured to produce cataract, or
the hardened condition which renders it
easy of removal. Cases reported by
Prof. Fukala show that after the opera
ton patients have been able to see at
q distance of from IS to 60 centimeters.

MANY SLAVES TO COCAINE.
Life-DestroyinE Drug Being More
Extensively Used Every Day.


Extensively Used Every Day.
According to a British medical au-
thority there can be no doubt that in
many parts of the world cocaine inc
briefly is largely on the increase: Many
writer's speak of it as the third scourge
of humanity, alcohol and morphine be-
ing the first and second. The greatest
number of victims is to be found among
society women and among women who
have adopted literature as a profess
sion. A considerable proportion of
chronic cocainistS have fallen under the
dominion of the drug from a desire
to stimulate their powers of magma
ton. Others have acquired that habit
quite innocently from taking coca
wines fortified with salts of the all1aloid
in solution. One drug habit rapidly en-
genders another, and the victim of
chronic cocainism is usually addicted
to overindulgence in alcohol, besides be-
ing a confirmed cigarette smoker.
Stringent measures should be taken
to stamp out an evil which, If once
established, is difficult to eradicate.
Coca wines made from cocaine, and
cocaine lozenges and tablets should be
supplied with the utmost caution. Coca
wine and other medicated wines are
largely sold to people who are con-
Sidered and consider themselves to be
total abstainers. Originally coca wine
was made from coca leaves, but it is
now commonly a solution of the al
kaloid in a sweet and usually strong al
coholic wine. Not long ago physician
reported the case of man who, think
ing to abjure the use of alcoholic slim
ulants, drank coca wine so freely that
he died of delirium tremens.

REVERSING NATURES PROCESS.
Some Things That Would Happen If
ExperimentaIists Had Their Way.

The reversibility of the physical
processes of nature has latterly been the
subject of interesting comment, says
Casters Magazine. Lord Kelvin, for
example, has been credited with saying
that all of them, no matter how COM
pick they might appear to the human
senses, consist in reality of the motions
of invisible molecules, and if, therefore,
by some means, all these molecules
could, at the same time, be made to move
in exactly the opposite direction, and
each with the same velocity that it
possessed at the moment, all the world
would begin anJcontinue to move back
ward; waterfalls would flow up the
sides of cliffs; rivers would run upward
from the sea; rain would rise; full
blown flowers would shrink into buds
and plants dwindle into seedlings, man
himself would become young again,
passing from old age to infancy. Just
what kind of pictures such topsy-
turvy world would present may be seen
with kinetoscope running backward.
Prof. Queroult, according to report, has
made observations in this line, and some
time ago communicated them to the
French academy of science.

aged.
CANEA, Feb. 21.-It has been learned
that the ultimatum of the admirals to
Col. VaSsos was against his attacking
Canea. 1t apparently did not forbid
him from marching into the interior of
the island, where Col. Vassos purposes
to occupy several strategic points.
One report states that the ultimatum
declared that if the Greek troops or the
insurgents approached any nearer to
Canea than they were the fleets would
shell them, but if they were quiet they
would be permitted to land food.
Col. Vassos replied that he did not in
tend to attack Canea or the flags of the
powers. He would remain on the de-
fcnsive' unless he was attacked. Not
withstanding this assurance fighting
took place to-day on the hills east of the
town. The combatants who were Gre
tan Christians and Mussulmans only,
were in plain view from the ships in
the harbor. The reply of the Mussul-
mans to the fire of the Christians was
very feeble, and it could easily be seen
that they could be compelled to aban-
don their positions if the Christians
pressed them. Their gun practice was
so very poor that it excited ridicule on
board ship.
The main position of the Christians
was in hamlet on the ridge of the
hills, where they had hoisted the flag
of Greece. This position was about
1000 yards from the war ships.
AT 4:30 the flagship displayed signals
for the Dryad, Harrier and Revenge,
and one vessel each of the Italian Ger
man and Russian squadrons to open fire
on the Cretan position. The order was
quickly complied with. The British
vessels fred forty shells and the other
vessels about thirty. The aim of the
gunners was very general, and it was
soon seen that the position of the in
surgents was becoming untenable. In
about ten minutes the Greek flag was
hauled down and as soon as it disap-
peared the order .scease firing" was
given and the guns Of the fleet imme-
diately became silent.
Thereupon the flag was again hoisted
on its staff. The rocks in the vicinity
were crowded with Cretans. The Mus
sulmans, encouraged and emboldened
by the assistance that had been given
to them by the fleets of Christian
Europe, now began lively fusillade
on the Cretans, who were engaged in
removing their wounded. The Chris
tians were evidently dispirited by the
action of the fleets and made no at
tempt to return the fire.
The intervention of the foreign war
ships has caused the deepest indigna-
ton and the supporters of the sultan
are bitterly denounced on all sides. 1t
is declared that the Powers, in uphold
ing Moslem rule by force of arms, have
made a melancholy and degrading spec
tacle that Greece will never forget.

Marshall Islanders Turn Against the Rule
of Their Foreign Masters.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-The arrival
of the Galilee from Tahiti shows that
another country is in the throes of war.
The islanders on the Marshall group
have thrown open defiance at France,
and all the forces at the command of
the governor of the islands have proved
Of no avail against the natives. The
villages of the latter have been de-
strpyed, their crops burned, their
strongholds in the hills have been
shelled and their dead can be counted
by the hundred.
According to the stories told by the
passengers on the Galilee, the natives
have been growing and grumbling for
long time past. They assert that
the taxes are too heavy, and finally re-
fused to pay when called upon. Those
on the main group were soon brought
to terms, but the men in Raietea and
the adjacent islands held out, and
when the Galilee sailed from Papeete
the men, women and children had re-
tired to the hills and were keeping up
desu ltory warfare.

The white flag has been raised on all those
