discussion of the ownership by the community of its own utilities with bahd

been experienced in the decade before the revolution by our forefMhers when

Inside this vast brotherhood there are, o course, the still closer prothcl-
hoods of beings "of blood" The monkeys, the bears, the wolves, te eio'

dents, the crocodies, and 50 on, perfectly know their kin, and they Ill
not tolerate any n Of their relatives to be slaughtered by man without TAI
ing, in one way Oh another honest revenge. This conception must have al
an extremely remote origin
Even now, when a savage is hunting, he is bound to respect certain rules
of propriey toward the animals, and he must perform certain expiatory ceIe-
monies afer his hunt Most of these ceremonies are vigorously enacted, even
nowadays in the savage clans, especially a. regards those species considered
the allie of mar
Its well known that two men belonging tt two different clans ort tribes can
become brothers by mixing the blood Oft the two obtained from small inGsions
made for that purpose. But it was also quite habuual for man to enter into
nal tasks a hunter to spare it, and if the hunter accedes to the demand the two
become brothers. And then the monkey the bear, the doe, the bird, the croco-
die, Or TIT bee-any n of the sociable animals-wil take all possible care
Of the mn brother in tn critical circumstances of his life, sending his Or her
animal brothers of different tribes to warn him Or help him out OF a difficulty.
And if the warning comes toe late, or is misunderstood, and he oses his life,
they ii will try to bring him back to life, and they fail they will take due re
venge, just a if the man had been IN of their own kin.
When | journeyed to Siberia vas often struck, without understanding it,
with the care which my Tunus or Mongol guide would take not to uselessy
kill any animal. The fact is that every life is respected by a savage, or rather
was before he cam in contact with Europeans. If he kills an animal it is
for food or or clothing; but he does OF destroy life, a. the whites do, for the
mere excitement of the slaughter.
Or the shrewmouse, or the "a eating tiger; but these do not count; they are
to respect it and see in it an extension of their own kin.

ton. A landing is to be made, and
an attack on an imaginary enemy on
the shore. Tn: Hotchkiss gun crew
begins to pound away at once; shot
after shot is fired; each time the cut
ter staggers between the recoil of the
gun and its own momentum. Finally,
as the cutters approach the shore and
the keels CRATE on she bottom, the cad
cts on the thWarts quickly toss their

in the cadet gymnasium. In the fore
Moons there Is some studying, but not
enough to do more than make the rest
of the day more attractive.
AS for discipline, the cadets are re.
quired to observe the rules of naval
courtesy and to walk and stand erect,
to be prompt and precise. They are
organized into a naval battalion OF
four sections and form and march to
meals, and each day at sunset they
are drawn up in line for the firing OF
the evening gun and the lowering OF
the coiors. Whenever a cadet desires
to go beyond the limits for social or
other reasons he must have a pass
signed by the commandment, but these
passes are freely granted, the only
condition being that they shall not be
abused.
Last summer the cadets spent a
week at St. Louis. The cutters were
carried down on fiat cars, and each
day the cadets gave drills in the grand
basin of the exposition. This was the
first time that naval craft had ever
appeared among the launches and gon.
dolas of an exposition lagoon, and
during each afternoon drill thousands
of spectators gathered to see them. AT
several of the drills distinguished Wis.
itors were rendered the honorary com.
mand of each cutter for a ace between
the crews. On one occasion Gen. Ed

tive at the exposition, reviewed the
cadets, and in the race that concluded

A process has been invented by an
Englishman for giving artificial age to
wood. He replaces the sap of trees
by beet sugar or saccharine. Newly
felled wood is laid on a wagonette,
which Is rolled into a huge cylinder,
provided with pipes. The cylinder is
supplied with sugar or saccharine.
Hot water is then forced through the
pipes. The heat boils the sugar,
which penetrates the pores of the
wood.
