The battleship, with it's TOO or 800 men to die when disaster comes, is an expensive investment, says the Worlds Work. Those who advocate it's continuance do not advocate Irs development. No one argues for the building of battleships twice as long and broad and deep as those that now exist, with twice the thickness or ar nor and weight of guns. Yet, if the big battleship be not developed still further, it will cease to exist. For a time its work can be done by the ar mOred cruiser: then, as the. speed and vision of the submarine is increased and perfected, by the fast protected cruiser and faster destroyer; and if the speed and vision of this deadly. unseen enemy that strikes out of the unknown in time and place finally eR eompasses the destroyer, these, toa must give way, as Is probable, and adopt the submarine features Of their vanquishers and become submergible surface boats.

By means of a boy whom he took almost from the gutter and educared into truth and a conscience Chicago man has cleared from charge of murder a prisoner who is the boys s own father. says the New York World. This seems to prove that en- vironment is a stronger force than heredity. But then one remembers that Professor Frederick Starr, also of Chicago, took in and educated boy of the streets who rewarded him by disappearing with the professors spoons. Human mature can always be depended upon to furnish at least one problem to offset another which seems to have been solved. The ques- .tlon of the relative influence of hered- fly and environment in the formation of character and the development of special ability is still open for debate.

It is perhaps a little too soon to ac- cept. in toto. the conclusions of Dr Robert HessIer as to the existence of dust disease, says American Medi- cine. Some physicians long have re cognfzed the part played by dust in the conveyance of disease. However, whether there is one dust disease or several dust diseases pr Hessier has done notable service in so gra- phically drawing attention to symp- ston-complex closely associated with city dust. While his study lacks bac- teriologic confirmation, few physi- clans who have had their attention di- rected to the role played by street dust in the production of disease will fail to accept Dr Hessler's work as we'll founded in fact Certainly, here is real progress final fact may later come to light. Very many physicians everywhere in the United States after reading this paper will readily recall many cases whose history can best be explained as resulting directly from the exposure to dust infection. Wheth- CT due to coccus infection, Bacil- Jus infection, or perchance a hyphomy- cetes infection, is problem Of great Interest, but we need not await is so- Iution before acting on the knoWiedge

DIAMONDS
IN DEBRIS
OF A FIRE

Raleigh, N. c.. June io.-News OF the
recent finding OF a number OF loose dia.
monds In the debris OF fire. caused by
the collision of a mail car and several
cars OF fertilizer In Wilson county. has
been followed by the arrival hero OF J. f..
Lucas OF Lucams. who purchased the
ashes and who found many of the stones.
Mr.. Lucas says that @ diamonds have
been found in the debris, ranging from
a carat 10 three carats. He has offered
some OF them for sale here. but the local
jewelers. are afraid to purchase them.
The dealers here think the diamonds are
from a necklace stolen In New York city
some time ago as they answer the de-
scription OF the stolen property. They be-
lieve thieves sent the stones through the
mails, and for that reason no one has
claimed the property.
Negro wortmen on the Lucas plantation
found several OF the diamonds, and there
IS a lawsuit now pending in which Lucas
seeks TO recover the gems. One negro
found three stones worth more than $500.
A man who says he is from New York
has arrived In Lucama, and is trying TO
buy the diamonds.

DIES OF
BLOOD
POISON

Paris. June lo.-Miss Lena Morton,
daughter OF Levi p. Morton OF New
York, died this morning from blood poi
soning which followed an operation for
appendicitis. Miss Morton's family were
at the bedside when she died.
The operation In itself did not arouse
serious apprehenslons but the appearance
yesterday OF blood poisoning gave the
case grave turn. Miss Morton rallied
slightly I'm the afternoon but later her
case became hapeless and she sank grad
ually until her death which occurred early
today
No funeral arrangements have yet been
made. but II is probable that the body
will be embalmed and taken 10 New York
for interment
The deceased was 27 years OF age and
was the elder OF the two unmarried
daughters OF former Vice President Nor
ton. She was educated here while her
father was ambassador to France. She
was linguist, highly cultured and was a
general favorite. Her father and mother
and her sister. the Duchess OF Vaiencay
remained at the private sanitarium in
which the operation was performed until
death occurred
Friends OF the family fear the blow will
seriously affect Mrs. Morton who has
been slightly indisposed.
