BOYS ARE


Unusual interest is being taken in
the fate of little Julian Mcdonald, the
nine-year-old youngster who was so
frightfully burned in the explosion
Sunday afternoon in the basement of
Company Els barracks, when a key of
powder was exploded. doing $4,000
damage to the building, says the Chey-
enne Tribune.
According to a statement made by
DR.. Dade of Fort Russell, one of the
physicians in attendance upon the lit
tie patient, young Mcdonald has no
chance of recovery and his case is 4
pitiful one. DIR. Dade states that the
boys legs from the ankle to the knee
were so terribly burned that all of the
flesh will slough off to the bone. They
will make the amputation O both legs
imperative, as skin grating will be i'm,
possible. Should the boy succeed in
surviving the burns themselves and his
awful injuries, in his weakened condi-
ton the shock of the Gmputation will
almost surely prove fatal. His parents
are almost Frustrated with grief over

ASSERTS JURISDICTION.

Washington, Jan. 24.-There is a
conflict between the public lands com
mittee and irrigation committee of the
house over the jurisdiction of the bill
to appropriate 81. 800, 900 to protect the
people and the lands on the Colorado
river in California. On motion of Rep
r~esentative Kennedy, made in the irri-
CATION committee this morning, Chair
man Mondell of Wyoming was directed
to assert jurisdiction over the subject
matter of the bill, and to amend the
bill so that no part of the cost of the
work should be charged to the irriga-
ton fund. The bill as it now stands
takes s1,50O,O0O out of that fund,
while the fact is that all the money in
the fund is needed for irrigation pro-

Manila Hemp.

Manila hemp Is the most valuable
cordage fiber in the world. 1t has
been an important article of COM
merce for over 100 years. The first
shipment to the United States was
made about 1924. 1t Is interesting
to note that the pioneers in the ex-
port of hemp from the Philippines
were American houses that were es-
tablished in Manila about that time,
and that for so years thereafter the
American houses of Russell & Stur-
gis and Peele, Hubbard & Co. con-
trolled this trade, making advances
to the growers and stimulating the
production. 1t is therefore largely
owing to American enterprise that
Manila hemp is an article of world
commerce today.
Manila hemp cannot, apparently.
be successfully grown in any other
part of the world. 1t is mainly
raised on the Islands of Luzon, Sa-
mar, Leyte and Mindanao. The
Province of Albay, in Luzon, usual
ly produces over one-fourth of the
total crop.

Power OF The Waves.

The power of the waves, says M.
Brounin in La Nature, is the sum
of two efforts, one dynamic and due
to the orbital movement of the water
particles, the other static, and de-
pendent on the height of the center
Of gravity of the mass raised above
its normal position. Theory and OBJ
servation seem to show that the to-
tai power of waves is divided equal
ly between these static and dynamic
effects. If body Of water meets
the wall of structure there is a
shock, and this is most violent at
the water surface, diminishing with
the depth At the moment of meet
ing jets of water rise sometimes to
very great heights.

The Sure Guide.

fhe late Dr.. Andrew A. Bonar re.
lated to me the following incident:
"A man once asked me, Is not con.
science safer guide than the Holy
Spirit?' just took out my watch
and said, is not my watch better
than the sum- Suppose that ! said
to you, L will tell you the hour by
my watch, and you must always take
the time from me- That Is con-
science. 1t is the sun that is to rule
the time. Conscience is fallen and
corrupt. If we had an unfallen con-
science, like holy Adam, 1t would be
as II my watch were always to agree
with sun. But now it is a most I'M
safe guide. Sometimes we hear men
say, L don't see any harm In this
practice; my conscience doesn't con-
denim it, 1t is not your conscience
or your consciousness that is the rule
of right and wrong; the law Is the
standard. BY the law Is the knowl'
edge of sin; sin is the transgression
of the law, not of conscience. =
