Russia has been the most relentless
military aggression, and she not only
conquers but also endeavors to incor-
porate the subjected territory into the
Russian empire. Consequently, when
Count Mouravieft, the Russian foreign
minister, sent out, at the direction of
the car the invitation to a general
peace conference the diplomatic world
had valid reason to be startled. On
account OF the existing conditions in
the far east Russia recently found II
necessary TO decline to participate In
the second peace conference suggested
by President Roosevelt, and the meet
ing Of the conference will probably
have to be delayed, Japan also made IL
similar reservation, providing that no
action should be taken by the second
conference relative TO the present war.

Chicago, June 2O.-No one can
group of children on the street
without noticing how large number
of them wear spectacles. The proper
ton seems TO increase yearly, and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-
tive and she thought she was unusual
" stupid. She said so to the principal
and sent a note to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped at
home if she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after a black
board explanation, the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
c. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but in our Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow, insufficient light of the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky
chimney, is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The flickering
light from a coal gas jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as it usually is, has an un'
steadiness due to variations in power.
and a glare peculiarly trying to the
delicate nerves of sight. The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
clear white, unwavering light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so
nearly like the rays of the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
: 0aratus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. 1t is
then lighted anG extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
it's use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu-
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

TAFT HASN'T HEARD 1T.
Knows Nothing About Retirement of
Chief Justice Fuller.

Washington, June 20. = Secretary
Taft and the friends of Chief Justice
Fuller denied a story this morning
which has gained widespread pub
ncity that the chief justice contem-
plated retiring from the bench on his
return from Europe, to become presi-
dent of the international board of arbi-
tration, and that Secretary Taft would
succeed him as chief justice. Secre-
tary Taft arrived from Cincinnati last
night and was besieged early this
morning for confirmation Or denial
of the story. The dispatches had it
that he had hastened to Washington
from Ohio to confer with the Presi-
dent about his appointment to the
bench.
tIt is entirely too hot to hasten"
remarked the secretary. When urged
to be more explicit he said that he
knew nothing about Chief Justice
Fuller's contemplated retirement and
the president had not mentioned the
matter to him. Friends of the chief
justice with whom he talked just
prior to his departure for Europe, de-
clared that he had stated that he in
tended to preserve the precedent set
by chief justices who had remained
in active duty SO long as they were
able to perform their duties

England And France May go After
Kaiser Over Morocco Question.
WANTS TO RULE EUROPE
England Prepares to Get in Game by
Ordering Home Far East Fleet
Army.

Paris, June 20.-The efforts to Sc
cure a diplomatic adjustment of the
Franco-German controversy relative
to Morocco remain without definite
results and the negotiations, while not
suspended, make practically no pro-
gress. France has not given her final
response to Germany's movement for
an international conference. and the
officials do not confirm the German
press reports that France has def
nitely rejected the proposal for a con-
ference
London.-It can no longer be de-
MED that we are in the presence of
an international crisis of the first
magnitude.
Paris wires tonight that the
French government is almost con-
vinced that it is Germany's deliberate
intention to provoke war. Orders
were given by the ministry of war
Wednesday to make every prepara-
tion to resist attack. All officers and
men on leave were ordered to rejoin
the cOlOrs instantly. Special trains
in all parts of the country have been
facilitating the execution of the in
structiOnS.
Prime Minister Rouvier has adopt
ed the most conciliatOry attitude to-
ward Germany, but every concession
he makes inspires fresh demands un-
til now Emperor William asks, in eff
feet, the cancellation of the Anglo
French entente. This is not, of
course, demanded in SO many words,
but it is insisted that France shall
make no combinations antagonistic to
German interests. Complete submis-
sion to all the pressure the Kaiser is
now putting upon the French repub-
lie would reduce the country to vas
salage. France sincerely desires to
avoid war, but the moment it is ap-
parent that Germany is deliberately
attempting to humiliate her, French
pride will burst into uncomfortable
resentment.
1t should not be inferred that the
British attitude is in any degree weak
or yielding. The British government
is fully aware that Germany's aggres-
sion is aimed quite as much at Great
Britain as against France. Lord
LanSdCwne is all for peace, but the
remainder of the cabinet are deter
mined to resist with all the resources
of the empire any serious encroach-
ment on British interests. There is
reason to believe also that even if
France yields to German pressure in
the matter Of an international con-
ference in regard to Morocco, Great
Britain will veto it, even if she stands
alone. The British government and
people were never more anxious for
peace than now, but if the kaiser
should attempt to deal with this coun-
try as he is treating France war
would be a question only of hours.
Meantime, the developments in the
Russo-Japanese peace movement com
mand only secondary attention of Off
cial circles and the general public.

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the
Order of Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted voic-
ing their sentiments as to the effect
of proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions ''indorse the attitude Of
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities.
and commend the attitude of the
heads of American Railways, who,
with practical unanimity, have Joined
with the president on this, question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the "inadvisability of legis-
latiou vesting in the hands of COM
mission power over railway rates,
now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country"
because such regulation would result
in litigation and confusion and in
cvitably tend TO an enforced reduc-
tion in rates, irrespective of the ques-
tion of the ability of the railroads to
stand the reduction, especially in view
of the increased cost of their supplies
and materials" They further protest
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea OF
American Jurisprudence, inasmuch as
it contemplates that a single body
shall have the right to investigate,
indict, try, condemn and then enforce
its decisions at the cost of the car
riers, pending appeal, which is mani
festly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation if any. as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation 'is the
result of the efficiency Of American
railway management and operation

LIQUID AIR FOR THE HOUSE
Rooms to Be Cooled Easily and the Ice
MANS Occupation Gone.


Mans Occupation Gone.
Skeptical housewives may smile
when told that liquid air and its prod
ucts, oxygen and nitrogen, will ever
lie of economic value to them in cool
ing the house. There is every indica-
tion, however, that within the next dec
ade these commodities will be deliv-
cred at the door for cooling purposes,
just as milk and groceries are deliver
ed to-day, and at a minimum price.
When this time arrives architects will
plan for cooling pipes just as they
now do for heating apparatus.
Inventors have now perfected their
system, however, to the extent that
they are building plant which will
manufacture every twenty-four hours
liquid air which in cooling effect will
be equivalent to 200 tons of ice. At
establishments where the liquid air
will be delivered ready for use at one
twentieth of the present cost.
Later, when it's value is recognized,
it will be delivered to the housewife
in inSulated containers ready to at
tach to the pipes leading to the coil
overhead. This coil, Ly the way, will
be made as ornamental and inconspic-
uoGS as possible and will cost no more
than the heating pipes. AS nitrogen
is one of the most perfect preserva-
tives known, it is predicted that when
it becomes plentiful through the manu-
facture of liquid air it will be possi-
BILE to do away with ice so far as the
kitchen refrigerator is concerned.

Love-.


What would become of this old earth
Without the angel, Love?
Its peace and hope, its rest and mirth,
Its faith in Heaven above?
There's not a heart of all the race
Where it's wings find no resting place
This cooling, murm' ring love.
The love of mother, strong and deep,
Like a calm river fair
A sisters love, oh. safely keep
That jewel bright and rare:
The holy love of that true wife,
Full and sweet as the fount of life
And pure as angels are.
And may love thee, my friend,
Wilt thou be true to me?
True love is patient, without end,
Strong as eternity.
Sweet longings from thy soul and mine
Around our hearts their tendrils twine
And bind me close to thee.
But there's love above all height
And deeper than the sea,
AS glorious as the morning light
AS boundless, and as free.
Tis Gods almighty love, that wings
My spirit far from earthly things
And shows his heart to me.

FOOD IN SERMONS.
Feed the Dominic Right and the Ser
mons are Brilliant.

A conscientious, hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman
writes: Il am glad to bear testimony
to the pleasure and increased meas
ure of efficiency and health that have
come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts
food as one of my articles of diet.
For several years l was much dis
tressed during the early part Of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast.
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk
and eggs, seemed to turn sour and
failed to digest. After dinner the
headache and other symptoms follow
ing the breakfast would wear away,
only to return, however, next morn
ing.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
I finally concluded to give it a fair
trial. l quit the use of oatmeal and
eggs, and made my breakfasts OF
Grape-Nuts, cream, toast and Postum.
The result was surprising in improv-
ed health and total absence of the
distress that had, for so long a time,
followed the morning meal My diges-
ton became once more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased, and the old
feeling OF energy returned. Since that
time. four years ago, l have always
had Grape Nuts food on my breakfast
table.
Il was delighted to find also, that
whereas before l began to use Grape
Nuts food l was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work OF
preparing sermons and in study, a
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.
am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me
to a sturdy condition of mental and
physical strength.
Il have known of several persons
who were formerly troubled as I was
and who have been helped as / have
been, by the use Of Grape-Nuts food
or my recommendation, among whom
may be mentioned the Rev. -
