by the laborlng masses. Germany seems
TO have Socialism as a necessary an
tldote TO mllitarIsm. In France, Bel
sium. Switzerland, Denmark, the party
Is strong and active. It's power Is the
result Of existing conditions.
The idea that Socialism would be the
panacea for all human Ills must be dis
missed. In Germany Il seems to have
tendency to loose morals, which In the
end VIII prove fatal 10 any social struc-
ture. Mr. {. II. Steiner In recent
number Of the Outlook illustrates this.
He tells Of an interview with Or.
Kunert, a, the headquarters Of the
Socialists In Berlin. Mr. Steiner ex-
pressed his establishment al the fact
that so many young people lived to-
gether without being married, to which
Dr. Kunert replied:

Dackwoods TO be astonlshed at that; we

During the course Of conversation he
further explained that religion with
them was "nebensaehe"-~a matter Of
second consideration only. Some OF
our people" he said. especially women,
go 10 church, but most Of them do not
attend church, and In the census are
described as without creed,
Such is European Socialism. In Amer
lea the party has religious tendency,
at least partly So and for this reason Il
is safe to predict that whatever role
that party Is TO take for the develop
ment Of human society, must be as
signed TO the American branch Of II.

Bank oflclals Tako Means to Protect
 Their Treasure from Thieves.
 It is said by q police official at city hall headquarters that some of the city banks. whose hoard of surplus cash has been increasing largely Of late. have been experimenting with an ex- pedient long in use by the Bank of England officials of paying known crooks for information of any contem' plated rad upon their vaults. Tho Bank of Enslands first experiment of this kind dates from lsa0. when the directors Of the bank listened to startling proposition made by ditch digger. The l8borer tod she directors that he had discovered a new and un- suspected method of getting into tho cellar vaults. where She gold and sil- yer bars were kept and Chat he would sell his seefeE ta them fer money. The directors hesitated, believing that they had taken every preeautien against loss from the vaults in putting up heavy masonry, with plenty of iron bars, and by manning the building with armed watehmen. But finally they granted the man, who seemed to talk fairly. 9 chance to try his plan. and a night was named for the undertaking. At the appointed time a committee of the directors descended to the cellar and heard 3 peculiar scratching sound under their feet Two hours later the floor opened and the ditch digger bobbed Up serenely, like the evil spif- its in the spectacular drama. Ali around them lay bars of precious metal. totaling in value Ga.000, ,00o. The man explained satisfactorily how 1t was done and as q reward the difec~ tors assured him an income from life on an investment of s10,000. The crook was content and 1t is believed he remained honest ever afterward. But other eracksmen were tempted by his luck to try the same game and tho directors were inundated with sugges- tions and tips on new methods of bur- glary and how to prevent thems Among other things. they paid s20 000 for process, invented by q young chemist, fer copying the ink, paper, water marks and designs or the bank notes go perfectly as to defy detection. The directors found they could use his sys- tenn more satisfactorily and more pfodtably than their own in Che pro- duction of their currency. Despite the fact that these expenditures have run Up into big figures in the last half century the directors of today say that all the money was well invested.

Justice, Who Doesp't Know Put from
 "CaIIe sity on the Game
 Without regarding the feelings Of devotees of golf, Justice Potts of Jer- sey City has brought the afistoeratie game which cannot be played without eleeks, nashies, iofters, and drivers 9own to the level of eshinneyn game Chat only requires crooked stick, any old thing that will serve as ball, tough shins, and an opponent whom the player does not like Mrs. Pauline Scharf lives near the links of the Jer- sey City Golf club, and has filed objec~ tions to having her children swatted en the head by golf balls driven la an ee- centric manner by beginners al the game. I;espite the heat. Mrs. Sebarif also objects to having the windows of her home suddenly fall to pieces in a most disquieting way. It was to stop these aunoyanees that Mrs. scharR caused Albert L. Drayton, president of the club, to explain to Justice Potts not only how it happened, but also bow he would stop it iu the future. The elite of Jersey City crowded the courtroom yesterday, and listened to Mr Drayton explain that the organi- zation, through late recruits, had made some Of the most wonderful strokes on record. He added that h a few days new course would be arranged, and the beginners quarantined nine miles from any sign of civilization. Mrs. Scharf was willing to compromise, and even went so far as to express her admira- ton of the game when played in an- other state, and everything was set tied. But the game is .shinney, just the same" was the decision given by Justice Potts, and which caused the elite to loft their noses and foozle their glanees as they left the putting green bound for the next tee.

CLIMATE SHOWS FEW CHANGES
weather Conditions Now About the
 same us in Ages Past.


 From Popular Science: This subject is of extreme interest and merits most thorough study. We find tho early and the latter" rain today in Palestine precisely as described $500 years ago Jordan overfows all it's banks. in February today exactly as if did ill Joshua's time. thirty-three cen tpries ago. Plants taken from mummy eases in Egypt. which must have been gathered more than 5.000 years since. are practically of the same size and have the same appearance as those growing today. Records of vintages fn France over 710 years ago show prae- tically the same dates as today. Actual observations of rainfall for oyer 200 years in France show no change 0b- seyatf8ns of temperature for almost 200 years at St. Petersburg show no change apnreciahle fo us. though. of course. the earliest observations were extremely crude and somewhat unreR- able. Facts of this kind might be ad- dHeed 60 fl q small volume. On the other hand, we have records Of most extraordinary cold weather in ancient time One winter light wine in France froze. Another winter the River Pc froze over so as to bear teams, an un- heard=of phenomenon today. In this journal for June it is stated that Par nass9s and Soerate, now free from snow. were covered with 1t in classic antiquity Also the name Greenland which strikes us as so singularly in appropriate, was not inapplieable at the time 1t was named, in the four teenth century, It is entirely proba- b1e that descriptions of the cold in an- cient times were much exaggerated. Parnassusz and zSoefate have snow at times, and, in earlier days, when pro, lection against the cold and snow was much less than now, little snow would go a long way. The earlier voyaeers from Iceland, more than a thousand years ago. leaving land of almost perpetual ice and snow, and reaching a land in summer with its beautiful green color to their unac- eustomed eyes, would very naturally give the name of Greenland to 1t. At the summer time it is said that Green land presents most beautiful green near the Danish settlements to this day. Our oldest inhabitants, who have been wont to describe the terri ble cold and deep snews of their boy hood days as incomparably greater than anything which does os can oc- cur today, have completely lost their reckoning the last winter when reading Of a ship that had sunk in New York harbor by the weight of the ice upon 1t; also that Washington had had thir' ty-four inches of snow on a level and the lowest temperature ever noted in that fair city. am sure a careful study will show no appreeiable change in the climate of this earth since tho early historic times. Of course nothing here addueed touches climatic ehanges in glacial times or in prehistoric times. which changes have been established beyond question.

The skau Gull the Eagles Fee.

The natives of Foula,one of the shet- land islands, make business of rear ing skau gulls in order to rid the island of the eagles that commit So many depredations. The magnificent red sandstone cliffs that skirt the north- western coast became favorite haunt of the eagles. and in this inaccessible spot they increased so rapidly that they became a terror to the farmers and fishermen who dwell on this iso- lated spot. The skau gulls are also strong and fierce. and the inyeterate foe of the eagle In battle the gulls are nearly always victorious, and so the inhabitants of Foula hit upon the novel plan of feeding and caring for skau gulls, which, though formidable to their feathered enemies, are very peaceful and docile when brought in contact with man.

 Elmira is trying she virtue of cur few ordinance. Its express purpose ia to keep out Of the streets the e.,ildren who have been permitted to frequent them in the evening without restraint heretofore, says the Elmira Advertiser. It takes effect at g o'clock in the sum- mer and at o'clock during the win ter. The effect of the rule has beez watched with interest, and no one can doubt that the new rule will be as faithfully enforced hereaftev as it has been during the first week. Only one arrest has been made, but that was sufficient to show the intention of the police department to enforce the ordi- nance in fair and reasonable man. ner. According to all the testimony at hand it accomplishes the purpose for which it was passed. Children, and young girls in particular, are no long, CT seen promenading the streets in groups or singly, and the gain for or der is plainly noticeable.
