PERSONAL HATRED IN WAR.
That 1t Is Valuable Fighting Asset
Is Questioned.

1t is fresh experience to take up a
book which breaches a doctrine of
hatred on the ground that a living
personal hatred is most valuable
fighting asset, and this is all that can
be said in favor of these "Heresies of
Sea-Power." Mr.. Jane quotes Nelson
to support his curious theory and de-
clares that a crude desire to kill Rus
slams contributed materially to the
success of Japanese arms in the late
war 1t is unfortunate for his argu-
ment that Nelson should have been
so consistently chivalrous to oppo-
nents and that the Japanese seem to
have been anxious to spare and save
life whenever killing served no useful
purpose. This attempt to connect
blood lust with victory shows how
difficult it may be for civilian to un-
derstand the peculiar sympathy which
exists between fighting men of differ
ent nations. Il am going, | hope and
trust, to join Nelson" said Gravina on
his deathbed, and from what we know
of Nelson he was probably the first to
greet his old enemy in the Halls of
Valhalla.-Saturday Review.

TEST FOR SPURIOUS COINS.
Simple Method Disclosed by Juror
During Trial.

At this session of the central GRIM
inal court there has been an excep-
tional number of charges of making
and uttering counterfeit coin, says the
London Tribune. At the conclusion
of one of the cases the foreman of the
jury asked the authorities if they
would take suggestion from 12 bust
ness men who during the year had
to deal with considerable sums in sill
yer coin.
There was most simple test for
the detection of base coin. 1t was to
cut the milled edge of a good coin
sharply against the milled edge of the
suspected coin. If the suspected coin
were a spurious one the metal would
almost Immediately begin to shave
off. 1t was, he added, test that
could be carried out anywhere, on the
top of a bus or in a shop, and the
public ought to be acquainted with it.
After making a personal test the
common sergeant said he quite agreed
with the suggestion of the jury as to
the usefulness of the test and said 1t
ought to be made known.

COMMON SENSE

Leads most intelligent people to use only
medicines OF known composition. There
fore 1t is that DIR. Pierce's medicines, the
makers of which print every ingredient
entering into them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest it's correctness under oath,
are daily growing in favor. The COM
position of DR.. Pierce's medicines is open
to everybody, DIR. Pierce being desirous
OF having the search light of investiga-
tion turned fully upon his formula, being
confident that the better the composition
of these medicines is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog-
nizcd. Being wholly made of the active
medicinal principles extracted from ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DIR. Pierce, and without the
use of drop of alcohol, triplc-retned and
chemically pure glycerne being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in tho roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-tho same as sworn to by
Dr. Pierce, and you will find that his

A suit has been filed in the district
court OF this county by Mrs. Asenath
Bray for 5000 damages against the
Saratoga Development company for the
death Of her husband, John Bray, who
was suifocated in the Saratoga mine in
Russell Gulch last June. The asphyxia
ton OF Bray and his companion, John
Brewer, is still fresh in the memories OF
the residents of the county. The two
men went down the shaft in the morn
ing and as they did pot come to the sur.
face at the noon hour an investigation
was made, and IL was discovered that
they had been overcome by foul air. 1t
is said that the Saratoga Development
company is protected by casualty insur.
ance and the insurance company will
have to settle with the widow. Brewer
had no relatives in this country, but left
a mother and father and several sisters
and brothers in England, from which
place he had arrived but short time
before tho accident. II the widow OF
Bray succeeds in collecting damages
from the casualty company it il very

The Vision of Insects.

A notable fact about the vision of
insects, and one which it may be sup
posed must largely influence their
view of the external world, is the
number of facets, or lenses, in COM
pound eyes. A German naturalist X.
Leinemann, has been painstaking
enough to count the number of facets
in the eyes of no fewer than $50
species of beetle. He finds that in the
same species and sex the number in
creases with the size of the body.
There is usually no permanent diff
ferences between the sexes as to the
number of facets. Occasionally, how
ever, the difference is marked, as in
the case of Lampyris splendidula, in
which the male has $500 and the
female 300. One species is noted
which has the extraordinary number
of $4,000 facets in its eye. The num-
ber OF facets is greater in the rapidly
moving active forms than in the more
sluggish species.

Seek Substitute for SUMS RAYS.

Experiments are being actively pur-
sued on both sides of the Atlantic to
gee whether it is not possible to dis
cover some light which would have
the same effect on vegetation as has
The sun. Science is familiar with the
composition of the solar rays to a
large extent, and 1t is not regarded as
unreasonable to seek for an artificial
substitute. AS a matter of fact, tho
rays from an acetylene lamp have
been found to approximate very
closely to sunlight. So much is this so
that fairly well developed plants have
been produced which have never
known the daylight, the whole course
of their existence having been spent
under the influence of acetylene light.

GREELEY AS A POSEUR.
Great Editor Was Prone to Harmless
Affectation.

There was great deal of innocence
in Horace Greeley as well as not lit
tie affectation. He was rarely seen
without one trousers leg carelessly
caught in the upper part of his boot,
and a necktie with bow under his
ear. Once in the public room of a
hotel friend of Greeley's kindly
pulled down the disarranged trousers
leg and Strengthened the necktie.
Greeley thanked him and soon after
left the room. When in the course of
half an hour he appeared in the street
the trousers leg and the necktie had
been carefully disarranged. and the
man looked as negligent of things
earthly as he always looked. 1t was
part of his pose as man of genius
to wear his trousers leg and his neck
tie as if he had put them on in a
hurry while absorbed in meditation. 1t
was harmless eccentricity.
