The lnterdlct.

The interdict and the excommuni-
cation were quite different things, the
last being the most terrible form of
ecclesiastical censure. In the nation
that was under an interdict the cler.
gy were forbidden to perform any part
OF their sacred duty save the baptism
of infants and the confession Of dying
penitents. Quite rare prior to the
time Of Gregory VII. (about 1879, the
interdict was common enough after
that time. In 1170 Pope Alexander
put all England under an inter-
dict, and in 1908. when King John
was accommodated. the kingdom
lay under an tnterdict for six years.

Diamonds from Gunpowder.

Sir Andrew Noble, in a recent ad-
dress before the Royal Institution in
London on the development of ex-
plosives during the last 80 years, re-
lated a remarkable story OF what oo-
CURED during one OF his experiments
with a gunpowder made Of cordite
and carbon. After the explosion. in
which the elevation of temperature
was estimated TO have been about
1900 degrees Centgrade. a residue
was left in the explosion chamber in
which Sir William Crookes afterward
found diamonds. They were, OF
course, exceedingly minute, and must
have been formed from the carbon
under the influence of the immense
heat and pressure developed at the
moment of the explosion.

The Voaue In Black.

"Black is to be very fashionable
this season." the silk people will tell
you. So, too, will the folk who sell
dress goods and velvets. So also say
the suit and wrap makers.
SO If all accounts are TO be relied
upon black is to have quite a vogue
these coming months.
In millinery, too, the rumor is equal
ly strong, and the early models are
very frequently of the inklike hue.
Black velvet hats especially seem to
be favored.
Though, Of course, it is a bit early
to predict and one cannot tell for
some little while yet, it is, however,
expected that a great many evening
wraps this season will be Of black
with gorgeous Innings Of Persian or
Paisley silks and brocades.

Aerial Floots viii Play Great Part In
Coming Wars.


II really begins to look as II the
next war-if war there must be-wil
mark the introduction OF aerial
manoeuvres ON a scale which would
hardly have seemed possible a few
years ago. At the end of 1909 says
the Youths Companion, there were
already in existence, either finished
or promised to be ready for service
very shortly, 80 dirigible balloons and
sc aeroplanes belonging to the vari-
ious European nations. OF these Ger
many has Ia dirigibles, of six different
models, and five aeroplanes; France.
seven dirisibles and seven aero
planes: Austria, two dirigibles and
four aeroplanes; England, two dirigi-
bles and two aeroplanes; and Spain,
one dirigible and three aeroplanes. 1t
is interesting to remark how Germany
runs to dirigibles and France to aero
planes. Yet France was the first off,
cially 10 experiment. with the former
type.

The Final Cloak of Record About
Candidate Berry.

In recapitulation of William H.
Berry's political and official ire
sponsibilities, as proven under trial,
it may be cited that underlying is the
egotist-the Il" and meas the
only man of the hour; the overzeal-
Gus and mad pursuit for public Of
fee; business transactions while in
Office that were improper in an in
cumbent; inconsistencies, self-con-
tradictionS, and broken pledges; his
rawlings in a recent speech that he
would like to burn newspaper re-
porters at the stake-utterances and
acts all indicating an irresponsible.
The Allentown incident was the eli
max. What sense of moral obliga-
tion does Mr.. Berry recognize, when
he goes into a convention contest,
and after overwhelming defeat, takes
the hand of his competitor, pledges
support, and afterward clasps a po-
litical knife to stab his party and
its chosen candidate? Before the
peoples of any civilized nation, even
among prize fighters, such methods
would be scorned.
A fitting peroration TO this review
of Mr.. Berry is the reference of the
NtudIdDlt DtUlOCIdls JOuI ID.
Rhodes, of Delaware county, who
wrote, over the non-de-plume "Sel-
kirk" in the Chester Times, as fol-
lows:
In the meantime, will il not
be well for the people to be
prepared to receive this great
human maelstTom of purity from
the East, who has already start
ed on his tour, and will visit
you unaWares like a whirlwind
of thunder out of a clear sky
causing you to cry out, "Who
is this that darkeneth counsel
by words without knowledge?"
Job. 1872.
This great reformer will drive
everything before him, con-
demning all parties, organiza-
tions, societies, and assemblies
of all kinds, except those that
adopt his creed and bow to him
as the great embodiment of re-
ligious and political virtue, puri-
flying everything that in his
judgment is impure; correct
ing all the inequalities of life
among men, and will make a
stupendous effort to chain his
Satanic majesty to the highest
peak of the Allegheny noun
tains.

"'Twas ever thus since childhoods hour,
The poet sang so sweet.
Wheneer ! plant a garden flower

Tomato plants with care brought out
Far from the climate rude
When in the sunshine set about

feated at that election by some 1900
votes, but he failed to carry a single
ward in the city, even the Demo-
cratic ones, besides losing his own
precinct, although he resides in a
residential district of good families!
But even that was not enough to
subdue MIR. Berry. This year the
people of Pennsylvania again find
William II. Berry in his accustom-
ed trail seeking office, even to maxi
ing an extraordinary personal can
vass of the state, buttonholing dele
gates preliminary to the Allentown
Democratic convention There he
entered into open competition and
his competitor, Webster Grim, was
overwhelmingly nominated. What
followed? Mr. Berry's congratula-
tions and pledged support of the tick
ct. and a fortnight after, ranking
under disappointment, his negotia-
tions with the proposed American
party as a gubernatorial candidate,
and, that failing, his dicker with the
Keystone outfit, and his nomination
for governor. Thus went on record
stulifcation that presages the clos
ing political tragedy of MIR. Berry's
career.
BePry's Intrusions of Sunday Poll
tics in Churches.
In pursuance of his campaign be-
fore the people as candidate, Will
liam II. Berry has a penchant for
posing in sanctimonious assumptions
before church bodies, and deplor-
ably counting personal favor by de-
liyering Sunday political speeches.
To ordinary and unpretentious OBJ
servers the intrusions of political
meetings in churches at Sunday ser
vices is regarded as questionable in
propriety. Church editices are pre-
sumed to be exclusively dedicated to
the service of God, and political
harangues of the Berry type, within
the walls of such sanctuaries, might
reasonably be considered as desecra-
tions.
Referring to this subject, the ven
cradle editor of the Chester Demo-
crat editorially says:
zone thing the editor of the
Democrat confesses he cannot
understand. William II. Berry
is a licensed preacher in the
Methodist church, and has
preached in pulpits for many
years. Yet in his political cam
paigning he has delivered ad-
dresses almost every Sunday
either in Methodist churches or
Camp Meetings. His text in
churches is always the same,
viz, Civic Righteousness" al
ways the same thing and his
addresses are only a slight vari-
alton in words from his week
day speeches. Practically they
are electioneering speeches, and
hence it is that we are obfus-
Gated We cannot understand
how the Methodists (and others)
can consistently permit such
electioneering in their churches!
1t is not, however, the first
time Mr.. Berry made a political
speech on Sunday. At a meet
ing called by the Single Tax
Party, for the purpose in front
of the City Hall, in Philadel-
phia, on Sunday evening, July
IS, 1909, Mr.. Berry made a
speech declaring himself Sim
gle TaXer. 1t was purely
political speech, the single tax
doctrine being political and not
at all a religious question"

A DUBOIS JOKE.

Ex-senator Fred T. Dubois was up
at Wallace last week. While there he
was given a reception, and according
= the Wallace Press made a little
joke about himself. He said during
a pause in the conversation:
"At one time or another during my
public career have given every man
and woman nthe state of Idaho
chance to vote for me without chang
ms THEN politics."
Which remark was sly dig at his
own somewhat frequent change of
parties.

NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED

Outside of the few men who honestly
believe that change in the House
rules is the condition precedent of SAL
vation, what does that farce at Wash
lngton amount TO? Mr.. Cannon is an
old savage in some respects, and as
ugly in his Early Assyrian way as the
devil, but he is not hypocrite of a
quite" And what is being over
thrown is not Cannon, it is Tom Reed
the finest mind in the Republican party
OF his time. it is tradition, Republi-
can and Democratic, it is what has
been for years a necessity for carry
ing on the business of the House and
tho country.
The substitution by a two-party
combination of new rules for the old
rules would indicate merely the poll
teal Importance and INSTRUMENTATION
that are among the fruits of Roosg.
veltism, but the House is entitled to
what rules it chooses, and the matter
is rather curious as a sin and an
omen than OF any real vital account.
Observe, however, that the opposi-
ton to MI. Cannon rests largely on
false pretenses and exsufflicate sur
mise. A Mumbo Jumbo, a man of
Sin Scapegoat is set up and called
"Cannonism." Cannon is the reac-
tlonary the reprobate, the incarnate
horned fend. Yet all the sage legis-
lation which was enacted in the DAYS
OF Mr.. Taft's predecessor was en-
acted while the horned head was in
thu Speakers chair. But personality
has entirely taken the place of princi-
pies Hero worship, devil batting: a
rumpus, riot rush; the calling of
names, a yellow fever outside the
House, in it men struggling and
shrieking about nothing, and proving
by their victory, if they win, that
their talk about tho GEAR" was saw
dust.
While the country watches the tenn
pesteous teapot in the Capitol, please
notice that Mr.. Taft is doing his
work well and without megaphones.
II the country seems a little careless
and neglected., the reason is not a
REFLECTION on Mr. Taft. Human nature
loves a fight; and the United States
after seven years. of continual rodom-
ontade and swatting is unable to re-
turn to a respectable life. A man
who has had, say, quart and a half
OF applejack for seven years is not
going to swear off if he can help it."

A STRANGE God Tree

What is a god tree? Nobody knows
or had ever heard of such a thing un-
til, not long ago, an chronological ex-
plorer came across quite lot of them
on certain little known islands along
the west coast of Sumatra
The god tree is carved out of wood,
with curiously fashioned branches of
the same material On these branches
are hung strings of bright colored bits
of cloth and tiny baskets filled with
grains of rice. The whole affair is
not more than three feet high.
According to the belief of the ma.
tives of the islands aforesaid, a god
lives in the tree. He is not a partic-
ularly good sort of divinity and, if he
takes notion to leave the tree he is
liable to do folks mischief. The
best way to persuade him to stay at
home in the tree is to make the latter
attractive by adjoining it in the man.
ner described and by supplying rice
in baskets for the god to eat
The god is household god and the
tree which he inhabits is kept in a
corner of the family dwelling.
