Can Science Abolish War?

In line with the argument of the
President that a powerful navy is
the surest guarantee of peace, is an
article in the Contemporary Review
by F. n. Maude. In it the author
states, and builds a plausible argu-
ment in proof, that the more deadly
the engines of war become the fewer
people there are killed in war The
point of greatest interest in the ar.
ticle lies in the authors serious
statement that Mr.. Simpson. whose
name is already known in connection
with his metallurgical researches and
discoveries" has invented a device
capable of firing "a few thousand
projectiles of all dimensions with an
initial velocity of 10000 feet per
second from London to Paris without
recoil, smoke or fash"
Such device, were it to become
operative, could not be successfully
resisted even by itself A war waged
with it would be impossible, for II
would continue until both countries
were destroyed. The statement OF
the article is probably too good to be
true, but it might be well for us to
stop spending money on our navy
until the invention has been tried.
If it should by any chance prove prac-
ticable, the nations with big navies
would feel about as foolish as a man

This remarkable cave. thirteen miles

formation, is believed by biologists
to be an extinct geyser channel. The
national monument will embrace an
area of 1880 acres. This cave, which
was explored as late as 1900, has
been found to consist of a series of
chambers connected by narrow pas
sages with numerous galleries, the
walls of which are incrusted with
magnificent layer of calcite crystal.
The opening of the cave is situated in
He'll Canyon, the walls of which are
high and precipitous. The surface of

monuments, if such action is deemed
necessary for their preservation and

Wall Street.

Wall Street receives an overabund-
ance of valuable space, you may say.
The Stock Exchange forbids advertis-
ing. More's the pity. In a little
while, however. all this will be
changed through the publicity now
being thrust upon it. Thirty years
ago a physician who advertised was
frowned upon as quack. To-day
some of the leading practitioners in
troduce themselves to the public by
means of printers ink. Stock Ex-
change firms will have to advertise
or go out of business. The day of the
'high-horse' is past. l expect to see
the time when all price quotations
shall be paid for, and at big rates.

A BRAVE LITTLE COWARD.

The boys called Mamie a coward,
good many things. but it made her
very unhappy to have the boys hold
such an opinion of her, and she tried
hard to be brave.
One day father and the boys went
away to stay week The very next
day there was to be a baseball game
in the vacant lots across the street.
and even before dinner the men and
boys began to gather. Some of them
had walked from other towns and
had brought their lunches, which
they ate as they sat around on the
grass. Many of them were rough
and rude, and Nannie's mother kept
glancing anXiously out of the window
at the noisy crowds passing The
roses were in full bloom. and oh, so
beautiful. Next Sabbath was Chill
dren's Day, and every bud and bios
som was being treasured up to use in
decorating the church
All at once they saw a boy dart
across the yard and break off a great
red rose. Sticking it into his button
hole he ran off laughing. as though
he thought he had done something
very brave, indeed.
"Oh, dear!" exclaimed the mother,
I'm afraid that they will take every
rose. What shall we do"
Then Mamie came to the rescue
I'll stay out and watch them" she
said. Il won't be afraid if l can take
the kittens with me-"
At first mother did not like the
plan, but Mamie was so anxious to
save the roses, and there were so
many people around that no harm
could really come to her, and at last
it was decided that she might do as
she wished.
You will be my private police
man." said mother, land you will be
such polite one that nobody will
ever suspect what you are doing"
She took the tall rosebush nearest
the street for a playhouse, and there
she stayed all the afternoon. For a
while, whenever crowd of strange
boys passed her heart beat very hard
for minute, but she did not run
away.
So it happened that on Children's
Day there was whole wheelbarrow
load of roses for the church, and Nan
ME was happy, and she was still hap
pier when Tom whispered, Say, I'm
never going to call you coward
again" Tom kept his word this time.
He learned for the first time that a
girl need not be coward even if she
is girl. In fact Tom began to see
that there were many ways in which
boy could be coward.-Laura M.

A Queer Labor-Saving Device.

Many Western railroads have dirt
ballasted tracks, on which weeds
grow luxuriantly. 1t has been neces-
sary to employ as many as sixteen
men to cut the weeds along one mile
of track Of it was desired to have
it done at as rapid rate as one
mile day.; but the Union Pacific
now uses a gasoline weed-burner
which is capable of doing as much
work as 800 men; that is, it burns
twenty miles day. The device is
mounted on trucks and consists of a
system of burners close to the ground,
operated in much the same manner
as the blowers for softening asphalt
pavements. Gasoline furnishes the
motive power of the car also.-Les-

coNouER1NG AN AUDIENCE.

There Is more than one way of

Clemens, near relative of Mark
Twain. is described in the humorist's
Autobiography" as noted pistol
shot. He was also al orator. and to
one of his meetings went antagonists
with drums, intending to drum down
any attempt at speech-making. When
he got up to speak Jere pulled out his
revolver and laid it on the table.

his soft. silky way Il shall not

the East Indian Deity Came to
Bless a Poor unIueky Hunter

dured its deprivations. For twenty
four hours no religious Hindoo took
morsel of food nor slept moment.
but constantly prayed the god silva
to grant his wish and relieve his suf-
ferings or unhappiness.
The Sivarathri rests on a legend
that comes from the misty past. A
penniless hunter went out one morn
ing, but when night fell only a puny
bird had rewarded his long days
hunt. Weary and fearing ferocious
beasts, the hunter took refuge in a
bale tree for the night, and hung the
game" on a twig
1t so happened that silva. in the
course of his accustomed nocturnal
wanderings, seated himself under the
bale tree. The wind was blowing
freshly, and leaves and the water
they held from shower fell on the
god. This libation and the bird, pre-
sumably an offering, made silva be-
lieve that some one in the tree was
worshiping him at that late hour.
Pleased, the god invited the person
so devout to descend. The hunter
climbed down and told of his sor-
row and needs. silva gave him many
blessings and he lived happily to a
ripe old age. So, now, he who fasts
and, sleepless. worships silva at night,
will be blessed and enjoy eternal bliss.
