Remarkable Weather.

The weather the past week has been
remarkable for January. 1t has been
as warm and as balmy on some days as
late spring, and on others it has been
hot and raining. Some of the hardest
rains ever known here fell Sunday

berries are blooming in some gardens,
and the buds on the trees are showing

nobody but a fool would believe 1t. -

VIII Preserve the Buffalo.

Hunters of big game will be inter
ested in the report made to the New
York Geological society by J.. Alden
Loripg regarding the selection in the
Wichita forest and game reserve of
a location for a buffalo range on
which the American bison may be al
lowed to develop. 1t is proposed to
have a range covering about 70 square
miles near the town of Oreana, which
shall be fenced in, placed in charge
of a forester and a caretaker and pro-
tected by the nation to the end that
the buffalo may be %propagated in suf-
ficient numbers to maintain the spe-
cies in vigor. The great enemies of
the buffalo, besides men, are the
Texas fever and the wolves, and II
the section chosen there is little
danger of the fever, while the wolves,
which attack the buffalo calves, may
be e1terminated by allowing hunting
in the inclosed territory.

BARRY HONOR
REL FATHER OF THE NAVY,
SAYS DRIsCoLL.
Though Facts Seem to Bear Out This
Assertion, John Paul Jones Will
Always Be American
Naval Hero.

II anyone had to answer the CUES
ton right off the bat" who was
father of the American navy no
doubt the reply would be John Paul
Jones. No OTHER man who ever com
manded a ship in the navy has been
accorded such honors as has been paid
tn this daring Scotchman who cast
his lot with the American colonies and
fought the English with so much gal
lantry. These honors are such as
should be paid to the greatest Ameri-
can sailor, and no doubt many Of our
people believe that John Paul Jones
is the greatest of our sailors. Repre-
sentative Driscoll, of New York, rises
to dispute this assumption. He says
that the honor of being the father of
the American navy is due Commodore
Barry" After many years the United
States has determined to honor this Of
fcer and has provided that a monu-
ment shall be erected to him. Dris-
coll in a congressional address has u
logized Barry and placed him on a
pinnacle above that of Jones. Dris-
coll has this to say to prove that
Barry is entitled to the first place in
Il naval annals.
AT the breaking out of the war of
the revolution he was master of the
Black Prince, the finest merchant ship
in America. She was purchased by
the first congress, armored for war,
and made the first battleship of the
first fleet, under the first commodore,
and named the Alfred, after the father
of the English navy. He won the first
naval victory of the var in the con
tinental service, and returned the first
prize captured from the enemy in COM
mand of the Lexington, which was
named after the first battle of the rev.
o%lution, and was the first ship that
bore the continental flag to victory on
the ocean During the last three years
of the revolution he was the first Off
Ger of the navy. He fought the last
battle of the war in command of the
Alliance, the last and best ship of the
continental navy. He was appointed
in 1894, and continued first in com
mand until he died, in 1903"
He points out that John Paul Jones
after his victory over the Scraps
never returned to this country. but re-
manned in Europe and received high
honors from France and Russia, while
Barry remained in the service from
the beginning to the end. OF course,
the record of Barry is splendid and
he is entitled to all the honors that
can be paid him, but there is some
! - T. IL --- e - nj T----
that appeals to every person with
blood in his veins. He was a man that
did things and no matter what 9th
ers may have done the brilliancy of
his exploits were such as to excite the
admiration of the American people
FOR all time.

WORLDS Coal Supply.

Statistics as to the amount of coal
in the world or in any particular l.
try are of small value because esli-
mates are based on inadequate infer
nation. The German periodical, Staal
und Eisen, gives figures as to Ger
many's supply, which it places at
2S0,00 200, 900 tons, which will last.
at the present rate of consumption,
a couple of thousand years. The coal
deposits of Great Britain and Ireland
are placed at 1913, 900, 900, 900 tons,
with an annual consumption of twice
that of Germany. The estimated coal
deposit of Belgium is 23, 700, 900, 900
tons; of France 10, 900, 900, 900 tons;
Austria. 1900, 600, 900, and Russia,
10000, 600, 900 tons. North Americas
coal deposits are estimated by tile
same authority as 6S1, 900, OOO, 900 tons.
The total for all Europe is placed ut
700, 000, 900, 900 tons. Asia is conceded
to have much larger deposits, which
cannot eve approximately be esti-
mated.

FORBIDDEN TO USE SHARES
Englishman Once Sought Aid Of Law
for Protection Against Cum
ming Females.

That woman has been the same in
all ages in her efforts to the
unsuspecting male by artificial aids
is proved by an old English statute,
passed 236 years ago by parliament.
So far-reaching was the havoc
wrought among masculine hearts by.
the devices of cunning females that
the men we're forced to seek the pro
lection of the law, as is shown by the
statute in question, which reads as
follows:
THAT all women, of whatever age,
rank, degree or profession, whether
virgins, maids or widows, that shall
from and after the passing of this
act impose upon and betray into mat
rimony any of his majesty's male sub
iects by scents, paints, cosmetics,
washes, artificial teeth, false hair,
Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high
heeled shoes or bolstered hips, shall
incur the penalty of the law now in
force against witchcraft, sorcery and
such like misdemeanors, and that the
marriage, upon conviction, shall stand
null and void"
Judging by the forceful wording
and the specification of minute de-
tails, it seems that some of the mem
bers of parliament had been "stung."

"My dear young people," he began,
'let me refer briefly to the humble
auspices under which my start in life
was made. Without a dollar in my
pocket, and with no worldly posses
sions of consequence, my indomitable
nature and an Unborn determination
to utilize to the fullest advantage my
abilities constituted my entire assets.
But, even with this modest beginning,
what do you suppose was the thing
l first sought-that which, at the very
outset of my career, l strove most
earnestly to attain? ?"
For one second did an awe-stricken
silence hover over the audience, as
the speaker paused to allow the sig

to permeate the youthful understand
ing. Then, in a spontaneous outburst
of juvenile enthusiasm, came the an

The Fight Against Consumption.

The Fight Against Consumption.
Great comfort is to be derived from
the census figures relative to the NOR
tality rates for the last few years. 1t
appears from these statistics that tn.
berculosis is causing a markedly
smaller percentage Of deaths at present
than formerly, indicating a certain dc
gee Of success in the fight against the
'reat white plague" which is being
wed in all parts of this country.
y statistios unfortunately cover only
nNpf the states and S94 cities, owing
td e lack Of organized systems Of
recording and reporting in all parts
of the United States. These states are
Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Massa-
chusetts. Michigan, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Rhode Island. and Yer
mont, and these, together with the
cities in other states which carefully
preserve death records constitute a
population of 34,OOO.00O. or two-ffths
of that Of the United States. Accord
ing to the returns from these sources
the latest calculable rate of mortal
ity from consumption was 1916 ner
100000 Of population. In 1890 the rate
was 245.4. This diminution, says the
Washington Star, is likely to progress
more rapidly in the future, for most
of the work of public education in
combating the disease has been done
during the last decade, and is largely
fundamental. The good result of the
local propaganda in behalf of clean
living, good, fresh air, thorough sani-
tation, and, to a certain extent, segre-
cation of consumptives, is just begin
ming to be felt. The warfare against
consumption is proceeding along two
broad lines, prevention and cure. The
former is being waged by both physi-
clans and laymen, and is an educa-
tional work. The latter is strictly
scientific and the results are less dis
tinct, because they are observable
chiefly by the members of the medical
profession. The real problem of to-
day lies in teaching the people two
prime facts-that consumption is com
municable and that it's communication
can be prevented by the observance of
certain simple rules of hygiene and
cleanliness.

DYED Food and Clothing.

While the use of coal tar chemicals
in u food is being gradually sup
pressed, they are playing a more con
spicuous role in the manufacture of
Il apparel. 1t was toward the end
of the last decade that the Germans
hogan to make the artificial indigo
which has almost driven the natural
product from the market. A nora re-
cent discovery is that Of red indigo,
made by Prof. Friedlander in Vienna.
Chemically, this new substance is al
most identical with blue indigo; the
firm that manufactures it has given
it the name of th~eoindigorot (theion
being the Greek name for sulphur, one
of the ingredients). The most inter
esting fact relating to it is that it has
been found to be identical with the
Tyrian purple of the a~ncients, which,
according to Pliny, the %Phoenicians
made out Of a sea shell. This was so
expensive that it cost $500 in modern
money to color one kilogram Of wool.
To-day, the garments once monopo-
lized by Roman emperors are worn by
Austrian cavalrymen, and the German
army is preparing to make use of
theiondigorot in order to deepen the
color of certain uniforms. Women,
also, are already b~ene1ting by the re-
discovery of "Tyrian purple" The
