Something unique in the line Of g

SPECULATIVE Insurance. Mania.

A mania for speculative insurance:
on the lives OF public percentages pre-
vailed In England during the eigh
teenth century. Warren Hastings, the
bretender, the rebel lords, or the un
fortunate Admiral Eyns answered
equally the purpose OF speculation
and there were also regular quota
lions on the lives OF notorious high
waymen. Sir Robert Walp6le at one
period of his career, when his life was
endangered by popular tumLlts, was
insured for many thousands, and when
George II. fought at Dettingen % pei
cent. was paid against his return
Such speculative assurances were
however. largely checked by the gam

TO CATCH A. SMALL ANIMAL.
Catcher Invented to Capture Elusive
Little Beasts With Comparatively
Little Trouble.

Any person who has tried to catch a
pig or other small animal in even a
comparatively restricted space will
appreciate the value of the animal
catcher invented by an Okahoman
By means of this device the capture
of elusive little beasts is made com
paratively easy, and it will no doubt

THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE

The desire of knowledge is wholly
praiseworthy ambition, but it should
be gratifed by reflection as well as by
experiment The first electric telegraph
in Persia was put in operation by the
English government, and I. S. Ander-
son was sent out as superintendent OF
the line in the earlier years of its SER
vice. At that time the Pers1ans knew
nothing of electricity. In his book,
my Wanderings in Persia" Mr.. Ander-
son tells how one inquisitive citizen OF
that land gained his first impression OF
this wonderful force in nature. The
occasion offered was the bringing of an
invitation to marriage feast at the
house of the local governor.
The old governor himself brought the
invitation. He was accompanied by a
few of the principal villagers, whose
black eyes beamed with curiosity as
they wandered from one object to an
other in my cozy little bungalow. An
English clock, my rifle, and few pic
lures hanging on the mud walls were
themes of hushed conversation. A
large medicine chest and the tele-
graphic apparatus were, to their af-
frighted minds, objects of mystic
majesty.
One, more courageous than the rest,
yet with apparent timidity, crossed the
room to where the apparatus stood, and
cautiously examined the screws and
brass work of the battery connections.
Emboldened by success, he ventured
with both hands to prosecute his search
after knowledge more minutely. For
some time he did not happen to touch
more than one terminal. At last, how
ever, thinking probably that he had be-
come considerably advanced in the sci
ence of electricity, he grasped with both
hands the two screws from which flows
the electric current. A sudden yell
from the pursuer of knowledge and a
burst of laughter from me were the
next items of the program.
The man, rather crestfallen, resumed
his seat, and in an awestricken tone
told his companions Of the numerous
stars which he had seen and of the ter
rible bite which he had received at the
moment when he touched those curious
bits of brass.
In vain did I endeavor to convince
them that the "bite' was nothing more
than the combined action Of two metals
immersed in fluid. The one who was
a victim to his own inquisitive mind
firmly believes to this day that the bat
terry box is tenanted by genii, in whom
the Persians have great credulity.

The Seamstresses.

Not long ago, in one Of the beautiful
public gardens of Vienna, seamstress
found herself sitting beside quiet,
plainly dressed woman who was sewing.
They got into conversation on domestic
matters, the London Daily News states,
and very soon were telling each other
how they made their own dresses and
those of their children, also.
81 like to keep busy with that kind Of
work" said the seamstress.

great pleasure"
Then. as condolences were in order,
the seamstress continued:

"My father is Francis Joseph" said
the other, very simply.
She was, in fact, the Emperor OF
Austria's daughter, the Archduchess
Gisela, wife Of Prince Leopold, son OF
the Regent of Bavaria, who is famous
as the most democratic and unostentati-
GUS of European royalties.

Even in this country, where the work
man is so accustomed to seeing the old
methods replaced by new, there is not
always an intelligent appreciation of
the value Of proposed improvements.
And many Of the arguments advanced
in opposition to progress are little bet
ter than those of the woman who is re-
ported to have said, when advised that
a substitute for whalebone had been
discovered and was likely entirely to
displace the old material, what will
the poor whales do for a livingT Of
course, it Is apparent to all now that
the final result Of improvements intro
duced has been to elevate the standards
of the workingmen themselves, and
that in opposing this progress they were
working not only against the interests
of the public generally. but against
their own advantage

not surprise me if the government Of

them to come there.

Mr.. WI Ting-fang recently expressed
the opinion that if the world spoke one
language, peace would prevail, and the
same idea has been urged by advocates
of Esperanto. But the experience of
this country is contrary to that idea,
for our two most important wars were
fought between men Of the same speech.
The idea has little practical value, any
how. 1t is like the declaration Of the
ditch-digger that If he had eight million
dollars he would have longer handle
on his pick. Universal peace is much
more likely than universal language.

Congress has already enacted a sta,
tute comforting on the government the
right of appeal on questions Of law and
construction in certain criminal cases
The object Of that legislation was not
TO permit reYersals of verdicts, but to
settle authoritatively constitutional
questions for the guidance of lower
courts in subsequent cases. Now the
Attorney General recommends IN
amendment giving the government the
right Of appeal in cases where verdicts
are reversed by circuit courts. The
great 1929 100000 oil fine case" is cited
as a striking illustration Of the need OF
such an amendment. Here the supreme
court may or may not entertain an ap-
peal, but there is no reason why the
people should be dependent on discre-
ton They are entitled to appeal in

Prof. Ferrero is right in thinking
that Christopher Columbus had no idea
of what would result from his expedi-
ton as he turned his vessels westward
across the unknown waters. The pro-
mOters, poets and playWrights of the
Elizabethan age were wont to picture
Virginia" as land of golden plenty.
The streets were paved with glittering
dust. About all that was necessary, in
their fancy, was to strike the rock and
streams Of gold would burst forth The
Spanish explorers found in the lands
Of the Incas and Aztecs surer realiza-
ton Of such visions than the English
men did in their colonies. But no
dreams of Raleigh, Cortez or Cham
plain ever were so eXtravagant in their
exuberant richness as the actualities
which the Europe Of today sees when
the eyes are turned toward America.
The galleons which once filed the war
chest Of Spanish sovereign benefited
few with their golden cargo The swift
sailing steamers Of to-day scatter Amer
lean gold over a continent when their
mail bags are opened on the eastern
shore Of the Atlantic The New York
postoffice, through which the European
money order business passes, reports
outgoing orders numbering 432, 875 dur

Great Britain, Italy, Sweden, Austria,
Germany, Hungary, Russia, Greece and
France are the principal benefciaries in
amounts ranging from nearly 100000
In the first instance to $4,000 In the
last. It was the Christmas greeting of
prosperous America to the home lands
across the sea. This sort Of thing goes
on all the time, being emphasized in
December. More money goes with the
thousands of travellers who visit the
same countries every year. 1t is ire
mendous drain upon Uncle Sam. But
he can afford it. What Europe would
do without the bountiful offerings Of its
children in America is hard to imagine
No, Christopher Columbus had no idea
Of the results of his epoch making

such cases as a matter Of right and
public policy. How far appeals by the
prosecution can go without running up
against the constitutional snag of "dou-
bic jeopardy" is a question for grave
and learned lawyers In and out of con-
gress. The layman knows this funda-
mental fact-that convicted offenders
have too many privileges Of appeal I'M
der existing law, while the people have
few or none. If the peoples right Of
appeal can be extended it ought to be,
for the interests Of the people are the
interests OF justice and equal freedom.

limit the governments right of appeal
was to protect the individual. Today,
in democracies, ''the people rule and
to limit unduly their servants right Of

oppressive use Of corporate or financial

doors, to give technicality and sophistry
