Il do not think that the situation is
as serious as some newspapers. want TO
make us believe. There is a great deal
of unrest throughout the Empire. but ali
that would easily disappear il We used
the right remedy.
THE first thing we must do is 10 try
TO reconcile the many opposing factions
which are now deadly enemies OF one
another. No one seems TO have taken
hold Of this beautiful task. but instead
of that everybody is talking politics.

immoral to make politics the chief aim

Of this solution of the question I do

ARC LIGHT

It's Vibrations Are So Manipulated as to
Reproduce Sounds Of Players

NEWCASTLE-ON- TYNE. July Is
Producing music from an electric arc
light was the scienuSc coujuring trick
demonstrated before the King and
Queen during their visit 10 this city.
Their maicsties. visiting the electrical
engineering laboratory, were invited To
LOOK through CUlOTed glasses AT an or
binary arc light. With perfect cleaTuess
they heard sounds OF vocal and instru-
mental music proceeding from the flame.
This marvel, which is q German inven-
ton. was thus accomplished Musical
performers, seated some distance away,
PLAYED OF sang into miCrOphOue trans
Initters connected by electric wires with
the arc light. A current al 30 volts
pressure was passing through, and
every vibration IN the diaphragm of the
tTansmitteTs interrupted the current
The vibrations were thus reproduced
IN the are light and the sounds were re-
peated ga the ar as oy monograph.

Down With Napkinl

The walters napkin Is now attacked
as an engine of destruction. Its germ
spreading powers are pointed out by
Prof Kron I'm a German medical weekly.
Away with the walters napkin!
cries the professor. 1T Is. he says, "a
deplorably unhyEienic piece of linen and
should be summarily abolished in all
civilized countries.
81 have noticed how walters carry this
thing. now in their hands. now in their
trouser pockets, and sometimes under
their arms.
They wipe table tops with it. wipe
glasses. knives. forks, wipe the manly
perspiration from their brOws and the
beer froth from their lips. No civilized
man should tolerate its presence"

The advertising patronage OF the
average country paper is so small that
its lack deserves mention. The mer-
chants refuse to advertise on the
ground that it don't pay, and is money
just thrown away for no one reads the
paper.
1t seems TO be taken for granted that
newspapers are conducted for amuse-
ment. And yet these merchants eX-
pect paper to advocate everything
that will build up the town and at the
same time build up their business and
do nothing in return to help the paper.
They expect the paper to condemn the
practice of sending to Montgomery
Ward g. Co., and to Denver houses for
goods and supplies which could just as
we'll be bought at home, and in many
instances just about as cheaply, and
which practice by the way has grown
to such proportions in nearly every
small town and community that this
business alone would support a good
store. Why should the paper help the
merchant when he does nothing to help
the paper?-Douglas Budget

Lingering Superstitions.

1t is hard for the human race to
free itself wholly from superstition.
However emancipated man may be,
he is removed but once or twice from
the sage who planted his potatoes in
tho dark of the moon and took his med
ical treatment from the horse chestnut.
No matter though he may argue to
himself thnt he belongs to the "show
me- tribe, yet there are times when
his mental processes harlS back to the
superstitfons of his forefathers.
For instance, some men otherwise in
tefligent consider it a bad sign to see
a creditor over the left shoulder, and
If pnobseryed they will turn and walk
baiskly the other way. Others consid-
er it a bad omen to receive a letter
promising IL visit from their mother
