CHURCHES DUTY2.
Question Discussed Among
Other Things at Presby-
terry. Meeting.
DELEGATES ATTENDING

Weyland Kelsey, Arthur L. Smith
and the Rev. r. j. Graham of the
First Presbyterian church, and the
Rev Robert Dunaway and Prof Wiss-
Ter of the Second Presbyterian church
are in Rushville today attending the
all-day rally of the Home Mission of
the Whitewater Presbytery. Minis
tiers and laymen from nearly all the
churches in the Presbytery are in at
tendance.
Following the all-day program a
popular and practical meeting will be
held in the main auditorium of the
Rushville Presbyterian church this ev-
ening and either DR.. Dixon or A. T.
McGarrah of Grove City, Pa, will
make the principal address.
The idea of the conference is that
all may meet for a mutual good, to
understand the times and know what
the church ought to do. A sentiment
in the REORGANIZATION, which
might be termed the keynote of the
NEE ting reads:
Enlightened laymen are essential
factors in the development of an en-.
terprising church"

people do not think OF such things.
They point to the South End as an il
lustration of this fact. They say that
the building went on in just the same
way. They were forced to admit that
the people in time might be disuaded
from building over there and that it
certainly would have some effect on
the location of factories.
There are beside shipping facilities
and such things two very vital things
in which a towns administration af-
fects the location of new factories and
industries. These are fire protection
and taxes. In this the question of
taxes is by all odds the most import
ant as it is the more certain, than the
contingency of a fire.
Richmond can not even afford, for
the sage of better fire protection of
which we admit there is a crying need
afford to raise the tax rate to a higher
point tnan II is at present, nor can
she afford to risk apparent ruin by
making any more expenditures at the
present time.
The Palladium believes that the
West Richmond citizens have a good
and just cause for complaint and it
sincerely hopes that the finances can
| be so arranged that the city car
soon give them what they deserve
This is the first thing the city should
do on recovering from it's financial dis
ability.
Citizens of Richmond must also
bear in mind that this matter is moi
confined to the west side alone. The
installment of hose house means Z
reduction of the high insurance rates
which are now in effect in Richmond
Therefore the sooner the hose house
can be logically built the better fol
all concerned.

Last week we printed letter

FElGkTMG DEATH.
A Trick Resorted 10 by Animals to
Shun Their Enemies.

The fcigning Of death by certain
animals for the purpose Of dc>c,r-
ing their enemies and thus sccur-
ing immunity is one Of the greatest
of tie many evidences OF their III
telligcnt ratiocination. This simu-
lation is not confined TO auy partjc-
ular family, order or species OF AM
NAL, but exists in many, from the
very lowest to the highest. 1t is
found even in the vegetable king
dc veil known sensitive plant
be IN interesting example. The
actio.. of This plant is purely reflex,
as can be proved by observation and
experiment, and is not therefore a
process Of intclli-s1ce.
An experiment, writing i'll Wis
sen fur Ale. saws that he has seen
the feigning of death in some of
the lowest animals known 10 sci
cnce. Some time ago while exam
ming the inhabitants Of drop Of
pond water under high power
lens he noticed several rhizopods
buSiiy feeding on the Minute buds
of an algo. These rhizopods sud
denly drew in their hairlike liIaria
and sank to the bottom, to all ap-
pearances dead. The cause was
found to be the presence OF water
louise, an ANNA! which feeds on
these anim&,lca!&c. 1t likcvi.e sank
to the bottom ard after looking at
the rhi@opodS swan AWAY. evident
ly regarding them as GcAd ard ur@t
for food.
This Was not III acc;;tIcntsi Wcnr-
renee, for the observer has seen
the same wonderful performance
twice since. Through the agency Of
what sense, he asks, did these little
creatures discover the approach Of
their enemy? Is it possible that
they and other microscope animals
have eyes and ears % exceed .ng!y
small that lenses of the very highest
power cannot make them visible, or
are they possessors Of senses utterly
unknown to and incapable Of being
appreciated by man? Science can
neither affirm nor deny either of
these suppositions.
Nest animals are slain for food
by other animals. Most Of the car
nivora and insectivora prefer fresh
ly killed food to carrion. They will
not touch tainted meat when they
can procure fresh; hence when they
come upon their prey apparently
dead they will leave it alone and go
in search of other Quarry nnlcss
they are very hungry. Tainted
substances are dangerous to get into
the stomach. Certain ptomaines
render it sometimes very poison
Gus. Long years of experience have
taught this fact to animals, and
therefore most of them let dead or
seemingly dead creatures alone.
