soc a Pair
Emblements.

"Emblements" is a pretty, pastoral
word reposing In the not-often poetic
verbiage OF the law. Old law writer's,
too. struck by its euphony, have given
1t attractive definition. "Emblements,*
they say, ARE the products Of the soil
where art combines with nature" +"
Strawberries, potatoes of ones garden,
corn and wheat of ones field are en-
blements-though the fruit trees are
not. The exception indicates that
erudition and poesy are not always
hand In hand, for the poetic definition
is thus inexact.
What a melodious phrase for farm.
ing, agriculture. truck gardening this
is-"where art combines with nature" !"
How truly, too, 1t invests the best
service OF mankind with the dignity It
merits. 1t is an art to make two
blades OF corn grow on the spot where
only one grew before. What artist
creates with fine greater genius than
he who sculptures out Of air and soil
and his own fine frenzy a nobler Der.
ry, more seducing peach, a better
vegetable? Who has painted with
worthier inspiration than he who has
painted new lily, more delicate
rose?-Kansas City Star.

Swimming Ghosts.

Lecturing before the Camera club
Of London, England, DR.. Francis Ward
said that in an attempt to photograph
fish in their natural surroundings, he
had constructed a pond with an OBJ
seryation chamber let in at the side,
below the surface OF the water.
Through the window of this chamber
unseen by the fish he could watch and
photograph their movements. He dis.
covered by this means that the pro.
lection of fish when in their natural
state is much more thorough than is
generally supposed.
All silvery fish were In reality mere
ly mirrors in the water, rejecting the
tone and color OF their surroundings
so as to appear to their fellow fish
gray. unsubstantial, swimming ghosts
hardly to be distinguished at all. II
was only when the dace, for example
rose to the surface, causing its body
to reflect light, that the pike at the
bottom of the pond could see and go
for its little victim.

II Is said that once when Reginald

found himself in the town of Dayton
on Sunday. They told Mr.. De Koren

the organist during the mornings s

the organist and began to play Men.

feet high springs fountain of water,
yielding even in the dryest times
about 300 gallons a second, and form

career with series Of leaps aggregat-

that the water must pass under the
mountain by subterranean channels at

THE Des MONIES CASE

Des Moines. Iowa. has had mighty
satisfactory experience during the last
three years. For one thing II has been
self-supporting il hasn't accumulated
any more debts Besides. il has spent
more money IN public Improvements
than in any other corresponding period
n its history And while doing this il
has reduced the tax levy.
How has it achieved such miracles?
Well. there isn't any miracle about il
At all The business of managing Des
Moines' affairs has been conducted On
q business basis. That's all there's
to IT, By way Of detail, It may be said
that Il has made contractors live up
to their specifications Il doesn't ae-
cept piece Of work because the man
who got the contract was good fel-
low. or because his long years OF
party loyalty" entitled him to prem
ium
One contractor was compelled 10 lay
three different lots Of brick blocks be-
fore the paving was accepted. What
does that mean? Well It means that
the people Of Des Moines got their
moneys worth in that job.
It has been the same way In all the
city's departments. Favoritism, pull.
the old slip-shod ways Of running
things-that's closed chapter in Des
Moines. F
That manner OF neglecting city's
business has disappeared wherever
the commission form of government
has been tried Chaos has given way
to system Vigilance has taken the
place Of sIoth. The peoples money
hasn't been squandered or wasted.
The principle OF the commission
plan Of government is that the dollar
Of the city is just as good as the dol
lar Of the citizen; that the city's dollar
should get just as much in exchange
as the citizens dollar.
The commission form of government
stands on its record-in Des Moines
and some three hundred cities.
Both in theory aud practice 1t is the
peoples government. In economy and
cleanliness 1t is the peoples govern
ment, That's why such ehanpions of
popular government as Bryan Folk.
