SOMETHING LIKE REAL WAR
South American Revolutions Are Not
All of the Comic Opera
Variety.

South American revolutions are
not really quite so humorous as the
stories they tell of them in American
magazines,
We sauntered up the shady side Of
a noisy street with a toothless, Jet
black Trinidad negro for guide, UNI
til We turned into a delicious open
square, shaded with heavy trees gar
.nished with orchids, and there found
the rest of the army. Up to that in
slant, and although we knew how
serious had been the struggle on the
0rinoco, we had spoken of the revo-
luton in the iesting tone familiar to
American comic papers. But never
again. There were some hundreds
of men and many women stretched
out in this little park. All the men
were ill, most were wounded. Fine
bronzed poems, with horrible, Tester
ing holes in legs or arms, unband-
aged, often, l fear, untreated skele-
tons, yellower than nature, and shak-
ing with fever; every form Of sick
ness, sound and misery was in that
mock hospital. A veteran, perhaps,
would have looked pityingly and
passed on, but to us, Settings of a
long peace, it was the first realiza-
ton of war. | shall not forget one
gigantic half-breed Indian, his head
on the breast of a young and really
beautiful Indian girl, his useless leg
writhing on the grass and still less
a poor devil stretched on the hot,
hard pavement (for misery was not
all in the park, covered with a
poncho, and Breathing his last of

LOOTED DURING FIRE.

While a fire was raging at a large
spinning and weaving mill in Lis
bon, and several adjacent shops, in
Guiding a jewelers., a band Of
thieves mixed among the crowd of
spectators. They threw stones at the
fremen, but the latter turned their
hoses upon the crowd. This so exas-
perated the deluged spectators that
they attacked the fremen, and a ter
rife fight ensued. The military had
to be called out to restore order. Dur
ing the confusion the thieves seized
the opportunity to ransack the shops,
carrying away everything of value
upon which they could lay their
hands.

 A writer in the London Times sug- gests way in which an instantaneous photograph of the wheels of a passing auto may give a measure of Its speed. With the focal-plane camera shutter the slot moves in such a way as to dis close first the part of the wheels which touches the ground. Since the upper part of the wheels is moving with twice the velocity of the car. and the lower part is relatively stationary. the effect in the photograph is to distort the image of a wheel into an elliptical form whose shape varies in accordance with the speed. Hence. if the time movement of the shutter is accurately known, the speed of the passing car can be quickly deduced

Somebody has advanced a new the ory to account for the rapid decay of the teeth of human kind. It is due, this wiseacre says, to the decline of conversational powers. Talk exercises the jaws, and jaw exercise is beneficial to the teeth. The more talk the more benefit. Our ancestors were forced to ments to silence them. Their teeth were more shapely and stronger and they endured. Nowadays cheap enter tainments of many kinds entice the teeth owners and cheap literature of an expressing character draws them from the natural exercise that their molars and incisors so sorely need.

That for 1908 placed the total at s7.S4S.o .o00,. 900, showing a gain of s3.131 ,000. .000, or an average of $S4S. S.000, 900 of in. crease a year. These facts speak for themselves as an influence not only in checking the receding tide of cur try, but also as a leaven which can. not, for any great length of time, be kept from increasing the elasticity of demand from manufactured commodi ties and for transportation. For this reason the faith of the optimist is not in vain so long as 1t is based upon the increment of annual farm wealth which, though 1t may be held in re serve for awhile, must, under existing conditions of advanced prices for farm products, in due time seek the market with an effectiveness that will tell in every other branch of business. The country Is now again fairly entered upon the stage in which farmers are literally planting the seeds of another annual fortune. From year to year the farms of the United States pro. duce regularly an increment of wealth over that of the preceding year that is the equivalent of the average value of the annual output of the worlds gold mining industry. With these two factors running neck-and-neck, certainly the demand side of the mar. ket must ultimately respond in nc eQuivocal manner,

The jury system finds its deepest un- popularity among citizens who are summoned to sit on juries It is exas- perating to be called away from an occupation by which you are making money to listen to the troubles of two men who may be disputing over a drove of steers. Moreover, one or the other may be litigious and bringing the matter into court out of spite. Such things happen. That twelve men
 may be drawn into court because peo- pie they never heard of can't settle their differences without going to law does not stir the admiration of the twelve for our Judicial system. There is too much laying. and those who find 1t profitable are generally the lawyers.
