" They Come Too Near the Surface
They viii Explode.
Ordinarily one would think that a
fish in the sea could go where it wish
ed in the SvRter-that is, that IL could
so as far down or come as close to
the surface as IL desired. As there
are definite natural laws that prohibit
this. Of course it Is not possible.
Take a deep sea fish. II is under
enormous pressure at its proper depth
Let II stray too high however. and on
the pressure IesSening the fish gets
larger and consequently lighter per
unit volume and in consequence is pro
PEELED upward at an enormously in
creasing rate by the buoyancy Of the
water until st last 1t has to be ex-
PEELED from the surface Of the sea
with great force. In the meantime
the fish has suffered an internal ex-
plosion- as It were. and its eyes have
popped out Of its head. and its fnsides
have expanded and made holes IN the
body. This IS why there are no per
feet specimens OF deep sea fsh in any
museum The difficulty could be part
~ overcome by hauling the fsh up
gradually. bot heavy weight would
have TO be attached TO the line 70 over
come the buoyancy of the fish.
On the other hand. take a shallow
water fish II dares not stray too far
down. for the Increasing pressure
would tend TO make IL heavier Il It

Just taxation, and q government by
court favor1tes. Over and above this
Is q deep-rooted hatred Of the Manchu
pet bag" affair hateful to the native
Chinese.
In the cabinet formed last May,
Prince Ching, president OF the council;
the ministers Of finance, marine, agri-
culture and the interior and two other
members were royal princes. The first
vice president and the ministers Of
war, justice and the colonies were
Manchus. The second vice president, q
moderate liberal, and four others were
Chinese one-third Of the whole
mum Der.
Protest was made against the ap-
pointment Of royal princes in the cabf
net but 1t was UNDECIDED. and then
began the trouble. Declarations Of
grievances were sent broadcast by the
representatives of the provincial as
semblies and the Illegal rule Of the
prin vas denounced. Among the
demands made were:
l. That the practice Of selling the
control of China to foreign bondhold-
ers Morgan among others) shall
cease.
2. a national coinage to retire the
innumerable provincial coins.
3. The development Of industry
without foreign intervention, as by
the proposed loans on "natiOnalized"
mines.
l. The cessation Of mortgaging
China's political future for foreign
financed railway lines. To oppose
such lines is now a capital offense.
3. To stop the opium trade now.
Readers will remember that Great
Britain has consented to its gradual
cessation, which the address truly says
satisfies neither the Chinese nor Eng
ushmen who are humane"
6. A more native and more vigor-
Gus foreign policy.
II VIII be seen that the root Of the
matter lies in the subserviency of the
government to foreign capital AS the
matter stands now the revolutionists
seem TO have their campaign well or
ganized and the errors of the boxer
campaign are to be avoided especially
in the protection Of the rights of for

WHES romance was my guiding star
In days OF long ago

Who had me for her beau.
We vowed forever and day
To keep alive the fame
Perhaps I'd keep the promise yet.
But forget her name.
All me. she was a charming spritel
Her eyes were deepest blue.
Or were they brown: Well, what's the
odds?
Her heart was warm and true.
And as l learned to lisp my love
Her little hand K press.
/ wish I could recall her name
And knew her right address.
Some other naidens with my love
Have played the game OF tag.
And some have just but barely missed
The chance my heart 10 bag,
But now I am getting gray.
Though still splendid catch,
I think, If could find that giri.
That we could make a match.
Oh. loves young dream is best OF ALL
But hold: ! must go slow.
She's forJy-fve and maybe fat,
For that was years ago.
She may be married and may have
A grandchild at her knee.
And, oh, 10 make II even worse

Something to Add Beauty and Charm
to Your Home.
There's something about a flower
garden that keeps one happy and con
tented. Perhaps it is because it keeps
one too busy to dwell on the trouble
some things that happen to US; and
then-it's beautiful and beauty il al
ways soothing. In this respect am re
minded Of Ewes Second Husband, "
written by the talented author of The
Circuit Riders Wife" If you have
read the story you will remember how
when her great troubles came, Eve
went into the garden and something
there brought peace to her.
Somehow, we Americans of today
especially in the west and middle
west, don't thoroughly appreciate the
worth Of flowers that we have tended
ourselves. We are too busy, We think,
to bother E!th such things. We don't
Ike TO work over them. If We have
money enough, We may pay a gardener
to make flower beds and see that they
are cared for. But we won soil our
hands or uplift our souls in that sort
Of thing
Perhaps we are doing a little better
in the last few years. Home and school
gardening associations have accom-
plished much. More city backwards are
blooming and more city houses have
their borders of poisoning plants
And those who are brave enough to
live in the suburbs are making flow
cry bowers of their homes.
But a number of trips through
country places this summer showed
me an extraordinary dearth of flower
gardens. The average farmhouse
stands bare and dread. When I asked
the reason the women answered:
"Oh We haven't time 10 waste on
flowers. Wee got so muca work 10
do now that we're too tired TO fuss over
anything that doesn't pay
AS if flowers didn't pay!
Granted that the women OF the
farmhouses are busy-Often too busy
for their good But often precious
time is wasted in drudgery that lit
tie exercise of brain and better man
agement would eliminate.
Garden work is never druuSeTg
Moreover, it returns far more than
the woker gives, in every way.
This leads up 10, what l want to
really talk about: The winter window
garden.
One of my fondest childhood mem
ories r. of a big oldfashioned square
bav window. In that window was a
terraced iron stand filed with Seran-
iurns of every sort, fuchsias, lilies, be-
gonias. brightleafed foliage, ferns,

no difficulty in propelling itself to al

sure, however, would make it harder
for the fish TO move its organs, and
its eyes would be pressed into its
head
For all these reasons there are we'll
defined strata Of water in which GER
tain fish are found and no others. This
is one method of determining the
depth OF a former sea where fossils of
fish are found on the land. The depth
Of the sea at that place can be told

Struggles Within the Party.

The Cincinnati Enquired does not
/ believe the struggles within the party
70 obtain control OF the party are pro
ductive of great results. The Chicago
Enquirer. was another evidence of the
growth of independence within party
ranks, the relaxation of partisan bonds,
the breaking away from the strict con-
struction of party platforms and old
time declarations Of party faith. 1t
must also claim the attention of the
American people as a revolt of the
younger element OF the republican
party, as against those who now con-
troll the party, not against the party
itself, and in this aspect il but follows
the natural course of events in the
history of all organizations. From this

ivy-oh, everything that our, grand
mothers delighted in.
Such q wealth of bloom and fra
GRANGE as that window garden sent
through the house, Such cheer and
sweet sentiment as it fostered in our
family, And how much We learned by
tending it and watching it and listen
ing to the wise mater expound It's mys-
teries.
Nowadays the average household
concentrates on a fern or rubber
plant, or maybe an artificial palm, or
perhaps one of those little fern-dishes
filed with embalmed grasses that new
er need any care.
The window garden Is a rarity, I'M
less one goes east into some OF the old
er settlements, where dear old ladies
continue to take pride in their indoor
plants.
OF course it means work to have q
window garden. It takes up room in
the house. And it makes some addi-
tiOnaI muss and dirt TO be cleaned up
every day.
But it's worth all that Like the
outdoor garden, It gives back much
more than is put into it. And if there
are children in the home it is an meal
culable benefit to them in many ways.
Every home, when it's real home,
has its flowers and its animal pets. I
have IN mind now one sunny living
room where one of the big windows
is already banked with Towering
plants; where a canary bird in a rOomy
cage sways among the green leaves
and Tits his joys of life; where a sleek
cat curls up on her especial cuz...o-:
where a bOistrous dog comes and goes
as he may, and where a happy family
gathers during the long eveni1Es-too
contented there TO want TO go else
where.
That's home
Everybody can have a window gar
den-if it's no more than a small win
dow that gets the sun at least part of
the day, and if the wealth of plants
consists of nothing more than CRATE
full geranium. One doesn't need to be
rich to have a conservatory.
And l want TO tell you that no money
can buy high-priced dollhouse flow
ers that give as much real joy as the
humble plants that one has raised
from ones loving efforts.
This real joy is in some of our poor
est homes. Indeed, if you will look
about you, you will probably find more
of the poor cherishing little plants in
their windows than the women of mid
dle-class homes who are too busy"
with social affairs TO feed their souls
with what nature gives in return for
little thought and labor.
