They seem to have been having a
real war down in Nicara qua, and not
one of those comic opera revolutions
in which manifestoes and pronuncia-
mentoes are the ammunition used The
cabled accounts of the final battle in
which the greater part of Zelayas
soldiers were taken prisoners, show
that the fighting was fierce, and the
strategy of no mean order. If the &C
counts are truthful, as il seems prob
able they are, the Zelaya regime is at
an end and the people of Nicaragua
are rid forever not only of that grace
less tyrant. but of the puppet. Jose
The disaster to the governments army
is so overwhelming that it is difficult
10 see how Managua can possibly hold
out against Estrada's victorious SOL
diers. The probability is that Mana
qua will gladly surrender. The Ma
naguans knew Zelaya only too we'll,
and when fear of his vengeance is
gone they will welcome a new deal
1t is fortunate. indeed, that the
United States has not been obliged to
take any hand in the fighting. We
have given moral support to the revo
Iutionaries, 1t is true, and We have
forced the retirement of the unspeak-
able Zelaya. But the fighting for the
freedom of the Republic has been done
by Nicaraguans. And now that the
Zelayaists have been roundly trounced
by their compatricts, the American
Red Cross Society will hasten to the
succor of the unfortunates who have
been captured. Mac of them are
mere boys and their condition is de-
scribed as pitiable. 1t is probable that
most of them have but the vaguest
idea of what the rumpus is all about
Ordered to fight, they have fought.
That is usually the case in war The
generals and strategists play the great
game. as they would chess, pushing
forward a piece here, retreating an
another there, sacrificing a third for
the sake of position or to thwart the
enemy's advance. The soldiers are
mere pawns, whose lives are valuable
only to be given up, and whose un-
Outstanding of the conflict is of the
most shadowy.
Zelaya has used every endeavor to
create feeling against the United
States, which ne has described as a
powerful and INSCRIPTIONS foreigner
seeking to enslave the republic. The
succor sent to the unfortunates of his
ragged army will go far toward re-
moving that impression. We have no
other interest in Nicaragua than to see
a free and stable government of its
own citizens established. We have
enough troubles of our own, without
taking on any sort of protectorate over
the volatile and excitable Central
Americans-Minnea Journal

VubaIiux Water.

Undoubtedly the majority of bathers
who are drowned meet their deaths
from cramp Cramp is liable to seize
anybody at any moment, and when it
comes in deep water few swimmers
have sufficient presence of mind to
turn on their backs and wait quietly
until the attack has departed: So they
90 under. But there is another danger
quite as imminent as cramp, though
it is probably less known. This is wa
ter inhaling. A swimmer or even a
wader is always liable to inhale spray
through LIS nostrils, which, passing
through the pharynx and behind the
epiglottis or windpipe guard, gets into
the windpipe and causes death. As
one would expect. water inhaling is
almost wholly confined to Ire sea and
very rarely occurs in fresh water. All
the same, it may happen anywhere.

SUICIDE OF SNAKES.

Serpents. Scorpions. Centipedes I'm
mune to Their own Venom.
The venoms of serpents, fishes, scor.
pions, centipedes. spiders, bees, etc,
as well as the blood of the eel, owe
their virulence OF the presence of tox
ms similar to those which are secreted
in bacteria. In both cases the toxins
are specific products of the activity of
living cells. They are very poisonous,
non-crystallizable colloids, of unknown
chemical constitution. The venom tox-
ins are very sensitive to the action OF
heat and light. are easily destroyed by
digestive ferments, and consequently
are innocuous when swallowed. There
is great variety of these toxins, each
of which exerts specific action in
tie nervous system, the red or the
white blood corpuscles, etc.
1t is possible to produce in any ami.
NAL an artificial condition of immun-
ity to the effects of any animal venom.
This is accomplished by the repeated
injection of the venom in doses, each
of which is too small to cause death.
After larger or smaller number of
injections the animal acquires the pow
er to resist the action of many times
the quantity of venom that would
suffice TO cause death. if it were inject
ed into the veins of non-immunized
animal. The blood of the immunized
animal now contains a new substance,
an antitoxin which has the property
of neutralizing the toxin OF the venom,
and this blood Cor rather its watery
part. or serum) may be employed to
combat the toxic action of the venom
in q non-immunized animal.
The ichneumon, the hedgehog and
some other animals which devour We
nomous serpents. exhibit an extraordi-
nary resistance to the effect of their
bites. This natural immunity is ex-
planned by the presence of antioxins in
the blood of these animals. Serpents
are also little affected by their own
venom. In general, ii is almost inn
possible to kill a venomous animal by
inoculating it with the venom of it's
own species. of which il can support
very large doses with impunity.
These facts demonstrate the absurd
ity Of the stories of rattlesnakes and
scorpions committing suicide by means
of their own venom. 1t Is asserted
that scorpion or a rattlesnake i'm
prisoned in circle of red-hot Goals
will sting or bite itself to death. This
is a physiological impossibility-Cos-
mos.

NOTES ABSENCE OF HONESTY.



Turned in by Passengers.
The man in the rabbit hutch was
talking.
Its wonderful what difference
the pay-as-you-enter makes with lost
articles" he said Il guess we turn in
about one-tenth the stuff we used to
pick up in the cars before we were
confined TO this box. You see, We
used to walk through the cars for the
fares. and If there was an umbrella or
a grip. or anything of that sort. left in
one of the seats we ran a good chance
of seeing it and restoring it to the
owner. Now we can't do that. We
have to stay here at the rear. and we
have hardly any chance at all to pick
up anything left on the car"
But the passengers turn in some of
the things they find, don't they?" /
asked
There was great and sad knowl-
edge of human nature in the conduc.
tors smile.
Do tney NOt mIcn, lie Sdlu.
ASK the man who has charge of lost
articles over at the De Baliviere sta
ton. He'll tell you that we handle
almost nothing there now, whereas we
restored quantities of stuff to the own
ers under the pay-when-discovered
system"
My eye, but what thieves we are,
why, / used to pick up an um
brella or two on my car every day
and now there is not one handed over
to me in seven days." he resumed.
Here, then, is a valid objection to
the y-as-you-enter-one, we have
never thought of: 1t is making all OF
us thieves,-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

POIfC0| Comment. !
The Postal Deficit.


President Taft's message, showing
that the postoffice lost S63 900. 900 a
year ON second class mail and S2S,000,-
HY0 a year on rural free delivery, De
sides various small losses, such as
SoOO.OOO on congressional Thanking.
S2.2oO,0OO on the free handling of Off
eial mail of other government depart
ments, and 100000 on third class
mail. has attracted great deal of at
tention. The profits on letter mail
were so great that the total net deficit
OF the PostOffice Department was only
81 .OOO,0 in the last fiscal year. New
ertheless, it is generally admitted that
II IS not good business permanently TO
take great losses on any special classes
or mail matter.
The rural free delivery comes in for
little criticism because it is in the
period of development. and il is very
probable that what we spend on it now
will be won back in the end. With
the second class mail the case is differ
ent. The President stated that, while
the government was paid only 1 cent
pound for handling this matter, the
cost to the government was more than
9 cents pound. and that while the
average haul of newspapers was 291
miles that of magazines was 1,049 and
OF miscellaneous publications LIPS
miles. He recommended a higher rate
OF postage on magazines because of
their longer haul
This recommendation brought forth
a storm from some of the magazines.
The Outlook. for example, takes the
cent pound cost to the government
on second class matter, assumes the
cents is wholly paid to the railroads
for transportation. thus disregarding
administrative expenses, and makes
strong case for revision of the rates
paid the railroads. If 200-pound pas

surely. it argues, 9 cents is extortion
for moving magazines. 1t quotes an
express company rate of $3.50 hun
dred. or 2k, cents a pound from New
York TO Chicago. as further evidence
OF what the price should be-
Now, however, Postmaster General
Hitchcock's annual report is out. Civ
ing figures in greater detail. 1t ap-
pears from this that the transporta-
ton cost proper of magazines for an
average 1,049 miles is something over
cents a pound. while the newspaper
cost is under cents a pound, these
figures of course excluding the other
expenses chargeable to the second
class mail. which united bring the
total cost above 9 cents.
The Outlook's case against the prices
the government pays the railroads is.
therefore, not so strong as it was
made out to be at the START. but it is
strong enough 1t would indicate that
whatever steps the government takes
for reducing the postoffice deficit. one
OF the first should be renewed inves-
tigation of the contract for hauling the
nails.-Chicago Record-Herald
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1910-01-06
ReOrganfxing the Navy.

Secretary Meyer has taken up the
work of naval reorganization. Ii is
said in some of the dispatches that
by doing so he is forestalling Con-
gressional action in that direction
This is an inaccurate statement. II
the matter were left to Congress it is
doubtful if anything ever would be
done. There are naval officers inter-
ested in the maintenance of the exist
ing system who would block legisla-
ton. An energetic and capable secre-
tary is the only reform agent who can
be depended on.
1t has been notorious for years that
the method of conducting naval affairs
was characterized by extravaganza and
ineffectiveness The business methods
have been abominable. as might be
expected under system of practically
independent bureaus. Reorganization
should have been taken in hand long
ago. but some secretaries did not un-
derstand the situation, some had not
the courage. and some were not in
office long enough to do anything if so
inclined. At last there is a business
man at the head of the department.
and there is to be a general over
hauling.
Superfluous bureaus are to be abol-
ished Bureau chiefs will be held in
due subsection. The officers who are
to fight the ships will have more to
say about their construction. The
navy yards will be run in as bust
nesslike a way as Congress permits.
The secretary will surround himself
with a staff of advisers on whose
