WHEN STEAM WAS NEW POWER
First Boats Using It Were Consid-
 cred Something Remarkable.

When the Lusitania took its first plunge into the waters of the Clyde it could have carried unseen on a corner of its deck the first steamship built in Britain. The Clyde claims both as it's offspring. The Comet, constructed by MT. Henry Bell. flashed its four shovelshaped paddle on each of its four wheels in the year 1872. and carried on it's deck of 40 feet by 10 as many passengers as it's three horsepower could negotiate. The Comet was so conspicuousiy success, ful that two or three more boats of larger capacity were immediately built, and the citizens of Glasgow became the envy of mankind. MT. Lawrence. of Bristol. determined that England should not be left be- hind in the race, tried one on the Severn, and was so delighted with the result that he steamed with 1t up the Thames, intending to reap har- vest from city men on their way to and from business. He overlooked the company of Watermen, who made such a fuss about this inhuman com 1 petition that Mr Lawrence and his steamship fell back to the Severn. From 1913 to 1923 no vessel was built in Britain of h greater tonnage than 500, the average being only about GO. The Lusitania of those days was the Atlas. described by the contemporary press as the largest vessel ever built She was impelled, says an enthusiastic reporter. by three mighty engines of 100 horsepower each. This gigantic vessel (which could be slowed away quite comfort ably in the hold of the Lusitania). was built at Rotterdam, and launched 1 in the summer of 1928.

WITH WARllKE WAYS.
Fighting Instinct Is Pretty General Throughout the Animal
 Kingdom.

The fighting instinct is pretty gen. eral throughout the animal Kingdom" said the naturalist.
 From the elephant to the mouse the quadrupeds fight. even to the gen. tlest, if there is sufficient provocation, and even sometimes without provoca- tion at all.
 Nearly all the birds are fighters. Even the tiny humming birds quarrel amongst themselves, and duel be- tween two of them is an exciting spec tacle. With shrill screams, they dash at each other, battling with wing and beak until one is vanquished.
 The life of the fishes is one of con stant warfare.
 As for tho insects, bees fight say agely, both in swarms and singly. Ants battle with the greatest ferocity and when armies of them meet the field is covered with dead and wound ed"

Regarding Criticism.

Regarding the criticism which fol. owed the refusal of the administra. jon to prosecute Paul Morton. the statement says: Too much praise can not be accorded to Att'y-Gen Moody in carrying the case through to a success. full conclusion and that, too. the ad. verse criticism in many journals be. cause of the refusal of the adminstra. tion to undertake the prosecution of Paul Morton. then secretary of the navy. and formerly head of the traffic department of the Santa Fe system The attorney general in disagreeing with Messrs Harmon and Judson, who had been employed by the government to make a preliminary investigation acted plainly with foreknowledge of the legal difficulties that attended every step in the attempted prosecu tion of MT. Morton and other officials in this peculiar case, which really grew out of long g-standing practice intended primarily to develop the coal industry in Colorado and New Mexico which only became eonspieuously un lawful after the passage of the Elkins law in 1903. and the courageous inves tigation and report of the facts by the interstate commerce commission to the attorney general
 There was technical violation oi the law involved in the transaction, as has always been plain, but that there was criminal intent on the part of MT Morton and the other officials involved has always been denied; and the avowed purpose of the practice tends to support that view"
