Eushimn Rose From the Sea with
Much smoke and Noise.
Extraordinary details Of the birth Of
a new island recently reached Tokyo,
says the London Daily Telegraph.

rumbling. A fortnight later vast clouds
OF mingled black and white smoke rose
out of the sea three nautical miles 10
the south Of Two island. The smoke
clouds increased in volume. presenting

We're on fire.
On Dec. a little island appeared
amid the smoke clouds. and three days
later it seemed as II there were three
islands. The smoke now varied In col.
or. sometimes being Of a vivid red. BY
Dec. - one large island was TO be seen
gradually rising. In conformation Il
was a hill toward the east and a slop-
ing plain TO the west. and on the 14th

and resembling moist land when
stenming under the influence OF a
fierce sun.
The slope on June . underwent n
change gradually from the center and
became higher on the west side. Vast
volumes OF white smoke poured out
in the morning. and then in the after
noon an enormous quantity Of black
smoke was emitted
The residents OF Two island set out

The jap Radge Of Courage.

Perhaps one cause Of the efficiency
Of the Japanese soldiery is the fact
that none OF the mikado's soldiers
marched to the front with "a marshars
baton in his knapsack." Instead Of
looking for chances to win promotion
or to do rare stunts as an advertise
ment of valor the Jap has been attend
ing TO the ordinary business Of war
fare Special acts Of bravery are not
recognized by advancement nor brevet
nor reward. Since Napo,eon's day
western armies have been hypnotized
by the phrase, promoted on the field
for gallantry"
The true soldier seeks to win laurels
for his company and regiment and
corps. Captured battlehags and guns
are credited as trophies to the organi-
cation effecting the capture, not TO in
dividuals. Whenever a soldier is en-
gagged in doing some brilliant thing
his fellows are pegging away at COM
monplace affairs to help him. Other
wise battle would be like an Irish
fair-every man on his own hook. "In-
vidiOus distinctions in armies are an
evil and are discredited by the best
professional soldiers. To do ones duty,
to respond when called upon, is the
highest merit a soldier can aspire to.
Honors belong to all and should be
shared by ALL for the fortunate Of one
encounter may be the unfortunate of
the next, and vice versa.
The milSado awards medals and 9th
er decorations for especially brave
deeds, the highest of these being the
Golden Kite. Like the British Victoria
cross and the French medal Of the
Legion Of Honor, the Golden Kite may
be won by private and general alike
A medal Of distinction worn by any
member of a command reflects glory
upon the whole command This is. as
It should be and takes away all in
centive to narrow personal rivalry
Napoleon on certain occasions permit
ted the soldiers Of an elite corps to
carry the eagles taken from captured
battlefags mounted upon the staffs Of
their own banners.

MEMORIAL OF BIG BATTLE
Monument being Erected 90 Com-

Monument being Erected 90 Conn
memorate NnDolcon's Defeat.
one Of the greatest battles in history
occurred on Oct. IS. 1918. at Leipsic.
when Napoleon was defeated by the al
lied European armies. During the last
few years funds have been collected all
over the German fatherland In order TO
provide for means for the erection Of
an immense monument In commemora-
tiOn OF this great battle. which laid the
foundation for a united German nation,
says the Philadelphia TAbllc Ledger.
This gigantic monument, which will
be the greatest in the world, is now un-
der construction, and 1t will be finished
to be unveiled on the day Of the one
hundredth anniversary OF the great bat
tie. Oct 49, 1913.
Work on the monument was started
during the spring OF 1900. The base
covers NO less than 6.300 square me
ters, while the extreme height when
finished will be 362 feet. The monu-
ment is built on a hill i'm the nelghbor-
hood of the city of Lelpsic which rises
to an altitude OF about 1T5 feet above
the ground level of the city and there
fore will be visible from a great dis
tance. The steps leading to the first
terrace are Of German granite. A re-
lief 210 feet in length and 81 feet high
adorns the front of the structure. When
completed the main figure of the monu-
ment will show the Archangel Michael,
the patron saint of the Germans, stand
ing on a gigantic war chariot Around
lie the bodies Of the Soldiers who
fought the battle Of Leipsic. In gothic
letters the relief bears the inscription
"Gott Nit Uns' God with u.s.. The
monument viii cost several million
marks, the entire amount having been
already collected. Professor Bruno
Schmitz. a famous architect and sculp-
tor, is in charge OF the work.

WILD DUCK HATCHERY.
Western clubs Novel Plan TO Pro
vide Sport.

Western CIub's Novel Plan 10 Pro-
vide sport.
Thousands Of wild ducks are being
Matched IN incubators by the Rhine
lander CWis) Game Protective associa-
tion, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The system, said to be without prece-
dent among sportsmen, is working with
much satisfaction, and the sportsmen
In the association are planning to Sc
cure an appropriation from the state of
Wisconsin for a state wild duck hatch
cry to be conducted on lines similar 70
those now employed in Matching fish.
Wisconsin is noted for It's flsh hatch
cries. 1t may soon become noted for
wild duck hatcheries. and even these
may be succeeded in their place at the
head Of the list by other kinds of hatch
cries.
at present the incubators are located
on the hundreds of pleasure crafts
gasoline, electric and other kinds of
launches in the numerous lakes of the
vicinity of Rhinelander. This adds in
terest to the procedure.
While the little boats rock gently or
wildly in the water as the weather de
mands, there are hundreds upon hun
dreds Of wild ducklings more or less
ready on board In warm, comfortable
incubators waiting to break through
the shells of the eggs laid by their per
haps now very distant parents.
One early feature of the worh
planned and carried out by the Rhine
lander association was to SOW wild rice
in the lakes IN the vicinity Of Rhine
lander. This attracted many canvas
[ back, redhead and mallard ducks. NJ
shooting has been permitted by mem
bers OF the association for severa
years
However. the Rhinelander spOrtsmeI
are not selfish. They are Grating anC
shipping the little duckings to all part
of the state, as they are asked for BY
less fortunate and Ingenious sports

New Boil weevii Ant.

'No one must think that the attempt
to destroy the boil weevil by means Of
other insects is a failure because the
Guatemalan ants failed" said DIR. @.

that this ant will solve the boil weevil

into a Geld Of cotton and surround that

water. and before the cotton is ready
for picking those ants will be so thick
that the planter win have TO furnish

A community which is expected to
rival and finally surpass that of Dowie
IS established at Benton Harbor, Mich,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The name it has adopted is the Com
munity OF Modern Israelites, but It is
popularly called the Holy Rollers. The
order throughout the country Is said to
number $4,000, and all are expected
to be gathered at Benton Harbor in
August OF 1916, when the world will
end. The heads OF the order are Ben
jamin and Mary, formerly Kentuck-
ians, who recently returned from Aus
tralia with eighty converts. All are
vegetarians. and they ascribe to this
the fact that not one is baldheaded and
all are robust. The community is pros
porous, working 300 acres Of fertile
land. Everything is held in common,
including children, who come in with
their parents. Marriage is not allowed.

A Noble Relic In Danger.

Military necessity knows no law and
no sentiment either. Progress in ar
mament has rendered old Fort McHen-
~. at Baltimore, obsolete. and the re-
port is that the birthplace of The
Star Spangled Banner" must go. 1t is
said in Europe that this country can
not be great because 'it has no ruins" "
1t has a history, and Fort McHenry
is historic landmark with a most glo-
rious memory The heroic defense Of
the post turned the tide in the British
campaign on the Atlantic coast in 1914,
an event which inspired Francis Scott
Key TO write our national anthem.
The only way to have ruins to
mark our storled past is to respect the
popular veneration for historic sites
and piles. The people love them and
mourn over their destruction or neg
lect. Our civil war battlefelds are be-
ing preserved as hallowed ground.
Their associations are near to us, and
yet It would be unfair to assume that
the sentiment evolved by them is the
narrow one Of self glorlfication. Fort
NcHenry is a link between the civil
war era and the more distant Revolu-
ton. 1t recalls the first conflict OF the
United States as a nation.

A Word For tho college Girl.

President Taylor Of Yassar hits back
sharply at some of the critics Of wo-
mems colleges and college girls. Re
plying specifically to a recent attack
upon the higher education of women
by Dr. Stanley Hall, President Taylor,
addressing the Vassar alumnae, said:
You college women are being objected
to again, as you were fifty years ago.
You are told your training makes you
unhealthy and unwomanly. Now, I've
been watching the health Of the college
girls for years. and 1 never saw ro-
buster. healthier heartier lot than these
college girls.
They do things no one ought 10 do. and
they come out healthy. They don't even
wear hats any more. They go skating
without hats. coastng without hats. and
they go everywhere without hats except
into town. The modern girl wears not
only the simplest, thinnest Of shirt waists,
but she throws her coat open when it's
20 degrees below zero. We don't know
what she's made or but she stands It and
IS healthy and strong
President Taylor thinks that college
girls make as good a showing in moth
erhood statistics as do other women
and that the talk about excessive men
tality among college women is mis-
placed Concluding, he said:
1 don't know what IS the best kind Of
education. 1 never have been able to dis
cover that girls minds were not able 10
take the same kind of education as their
brothers, but 1 do know girls can talk
about better and larger things than can
boys, whose conversation has narrowed
and narrowed 10 discussions Of football
and baseball players. The college girl is
just the natural girl. only little better
trained.
Women's colleges are here to stay,
and the question of the best kind of
training for girls will settle itself after
trial as in other departments Of higher
education.
