that the water contains a quantity OF
carbonic acid gas, and it retains the
property just mentioned until the gas
escapes. After that double change
takes place a sediment, which is prob
ably ferrous carbonate, is formed at
the bottom Of the receptacle.

ton would test them carefully to be
sure that they were not already mag
netlzed. Then five minutes after i'm
mersion these objects were withdrawn.
They so attracted each other that one
would hang from another, point to
point. One Of the knives was found
to exhibit magnetic qualities thirty
hours after immersion. Another expert
ment made by Mr.. Leighton personally
at ~Cartersburg Springs was to place a
compass needle neal the pool. Here a
marked DETECTION from Its normal
position was observed.
At Lebanon the water comes from a
driven well Of the Big -Four Railroad
Company. When 1t was first used in
locomotives it betrayed powerfully cor
rosive qualities. For that reason it was
almost ruinous to boilers. DR.. John
II. Hurry, the company's chemist, could
find no ingredients which would ac-
count for the popularity. Later, when
he had learned that the fluid would

allowing it to stand in an iron tank Tor

scheme rendered it innocuous.-New

and he does not look to be as old as

mind is growing weaker, and he takes
but little interest in present day af-
fairs, but he remembers wildly the

everyone. He is never out of humor
and petulant, but is even tempered all
the time Throughout his life father
has been an industrious, temperate and
Christian man With the sweet, child
like faith that was instilled into him
by a pious mother when he knelt at
her knee In childhood, he never retires

Now l lay me down to sleep,

Mr.. Cronk, with his two brothers.
Casper and John, and his father, James
Cronk, enlisted at Western, N. Y, on
the 18th Of August, 1914, when he was
Just a little more than II years old.
The father and three IONS served with
Captain Edmund Fuller, New York

For a number of years Mr.. Cronk
received a pension Of So per month.
but in February of last year Congress
passed an act increasing the pension
to $50 per month.

MAGNETIC WATER PROPERTIES
when First Used Showed Powerfully
Corrosive Qualities.

So absurd has the notion that water
could have magnetic properties seemed
to competent judges that stories of
Its discovery have been generally dis
credited. NJ. o. Leighton, a hydro.
grapher of the United States geological
survey, has been investigating some of
these marvellous tales, and he feels
obliged to confirm them. The scene
of his inquiry was Indiana, and he de-
clares that he has found such water in
three parts Of the State. One locality
is Cartersburg Springs, another is lie
banon, and a third Is Fort Wayne. At
all Of these places the fluid possesses.

earth, the power Of m%agnetizing steel

Where. the loafer wastes his life
and the boys grow up to vulgar and
useless mediocrity;' here Is a vivid
and unfortunately a true picture Of
many villages. The remark was made
by George Robley Howe, a man who
lives in a country village-the town of
Norway, Maine-but not that kind of
village, because Mr.. Howe and his
associate, George Noyes, have found
a way to lift it up and transform it.
Their work In this little Maine town
has already attracted the attention of
educators all over the United States.
They have taken the country boys as
raw material, and created therefrom a
scientific university, in which all the
sciences which can have a local. inter-
est and foundation are learned by the
young pupils. Attendance is voluntary,
tuition is free. The boys themselves,
as they grow older, become the in
structors of their younger compan-
ions, and all alike go, not to books,
but direct to nature. They have their
camp kit-blanket, Ratchet, knapsack
and such other things as make them
independent in the woods-and either
by themselves or with their older ad-
visers they tramp the surrounding
country and study the plants, animals,
insects and minerals. Not only do
they form collections, but they CLASH
fly them, accurately and scientifically,
each boy working in the department
which he has chosen for himself. From
the surrounding hills they have taken
neurological specimens for which nat
ural history museums have offered
large prices, and from ~neighboring
streams have gathered valuable pearls.
The most important thing of all Is the
mental and moral training that they
get. The intelligent study Of nature
implies constant association with alb
solute truth and the comradeship of
beauty. Under these influences the
tough" boy and the incipient loafer
clarity themselves. The dregs Of their
nature settle, the life becomes purer
and better.

sensitive hairs. If an insect touches a hair the leaf hires lure

To explain these curious facts we have to TAKE n bro,s
general view Of vegetable existence at large. 1t is q maa
of common observation that ordinary plants show a cpra,a
degree of constituencies to heat and to cold. Tho dnna

and open them again when the sun shines. We NAV n ~.

sensitive. They must one and all possess a faculty of sn
sation, for the plain reason that one and all possess u %U
matter, and everywhere we meet with living matter ny ny
find 1t exhibiting constituencies as one Of its primary nr,"
ties Is this the beginning of nerves? In NV oniirt aSAn
Is. We have only to suppose that in the animal body ow'
ing to Its special construction, there is freer scon. !, "
play Of nervous action than exists in the plant to ernsa'
why sensitiveness is more apparently a quality and fratura
Of the animal than 1t is Of Its living neighbor.

Ten thousand young men eligible for
military service in the German army
have not reported for the enlistment
this year. This is double the number
of previous years. Evidently the
Kaiser's subjects are becoming weary
of furnishing amusement for him. 1t
is all very well for Germany's young
'war lord" to exhibit the soldiers to
admiring foreigners as his playthings,
but there are more desirable vocations

Before matches came into common

a year in kindling fires with the finder
box. Seventy years g nearly every
household lived in gloom after sun

DISASTER AHEAD OF THE UNITED STATES.
BY Ex-senator Reagan Of Texas

The reason Texas must never be d.
vided Is this: There can be but two
kinds of republics-the considerations
Of states and the centralized govern
ment, which becomes in the end nothing
but a monarchy. The United States Is
drifting too rapidly into a monarchial
form Of government. 1t Is not even
now governed by men. 1t Is controlled
by money. The power of the financial
interests is paramount to the power Of
the people. The result will be a disso-
luton of the confederacy Of States or

useless in the treatment of brain flag.

The Cubans profess to be very eager
to pay the money demanded by the
Late insurgent army, and yet they bit

for that purpose The Cubans are not
the first people to want the cake and
the penny, too.

leaf converts itself into a digestive hollow, within which
the insect is digested by means Of secretions nearly akin
to those which are represented in the animals digestive
work. The resultant, in the shape of animal matter. is
absorbed BY the plant as part and parcel Of its nourish-
ment. Without insect food these plants cannot flourish

the plant. Here the ordinary order of things is reversed.

of insect prey. The venus fly trap" of North Carolina Is
an example in point. Its leaf is divided by a hinge into

Wrong thinking is indicative of
weakness; it is, indeed, a species Of in
sanity, for a wrong thinker is contin-
ually tearing down and wrecking his
own mental and physical structure.
The right thinker is the only sane
thinker, and he is the happiest as
well as the most successful man. He
knows better than to keep constantly
tripping himself up with the adverse
thought which produces destructive
conditions. We all know the disastrous
effects of wrong thinking. We know
by experience how it ripples us moral
ly and physically. Physicians are well
aware that anger poisons the blood
and that fear, anxiety, fretting and all
other inharmonious thoughts seriously
interfere with the normal action of all
the bodily functions. They are also
alive to the fact that anxiety or appre-
hension Of impending diaster, if Of long
duration, is liable to bring on paraly-
sis. Selisnness, Jealousy and envy
long INDUCED in tend to produce seri-
GUS liver troubles and certain forms
of dyspepsia. Lack Of %self-control and

PLANT LIFE SHOWS BEGINNING OF NERVES.
BY ANDREW Wilson.

Dy NHuTcH WILSON,.
That certain plants are highly sensitive is a
fact doubtless familiar to many readers We
have the case Of the English sundews, whose
leaves are provided with sensitive feelers. When
an unwary fly stumbles across the leaf its legs
become entangled In the gummy secretion of the
t%entacles, and these last bend downward over
the insect, and thus tie 1t to the leaf surface.
Escape Is impossible; the insect dies. and the

A man in Germany who went to
sleep in 1883 woke up recently. That's
nothing; there are many men who
show no signs of waking up who went
to sleep even earlier than 'SS.
