When Big Guns Crash.

The effects of two ten-inch turret
guns fired simultaneously on board a
war vessel are rather astonishing. A
correspondent on board the vessel
says: .For several moments won
dered what hit me and where was
hit. The glass that protects the helms
man from the weather and the win
dows of the charthouse. the glass of
which Is one-third of an inch thick,
were smashed to atoms. An ink bottle
that stood on the table in the chart
house jumped about six inches, and
every drop Of ink sprang out, but the
bottle dropped back to the spot from
which it jumped. Three water bottles
and three tumblers were on the table
in the smoking room, all being full of
water. When the guns were fred the
bottles and the tumblers jumped into
the air. Three gentlemen who were
in the room also left their seats. The
bottles and tumblers. fell back into
their old places, but every drop Of wa

Natures Parachutes.

Careful examination has been made
of the heads of Canada thistledowns
in order to determine their effective
ness as parachutes carrying the seeds
Of the plant to great distances through
the air. The results of. this exami-
nation are quite remarkable. Calcula-
ton shows that a thistledown starting
from an elevation of twenty feet in
still air would require two-thirds of
minute to reach the ground. With a
wind blowing twenty miles an hour
it would be carried on the average
about fifth of mile. The total sur
face exposed to the air in an average
thistledown is. on account of the great
number of hairlets, a little more than
one-third Of a square foot. Another
well known and very beautiful exam
pie of natures parachutes is furnished
by the light silken threads with the aid
of which the little gossamer spider
makes long aerial voyages.-Scientifc

When List Met Oiriks.

A Paris contemporary relates an in
teresting story of List. The great
pianist was living in a little German
town when Drinks, the Norwegian
painter, went to reside at the same
place, thinking he would be able to
work there without Interruptions. he
had been installed in his new quar-
tiers only one day when he made the
pianist's acquaintance. The painter
had been trying his art for about two
hours, and then he gave up in despair.
He went outside, and at the same time
Liszt came out for a breath of fresh
air.
The painter addressed the pianist,
and this dialogue ensued: care you the
pianist, monsieur, whom l have heard
all day." Eyes, monsieur" at is very
irritating."$ "Alas, monsieur, you do
not love music?" Il detest it, 1T is
very regrettable, but l must practice"
But you disturb me in my work.
Moreover, you play atrociously." "Ah.
you think so? 1t is the first time any
one has ever told me so.'' Judging
from your age, there have been many
opportunities was the painters an
swer. Then there was silence for a
moment. List, going indoors, content
ed himself with the observation, "My
name is Liszt."

MAKING Love by 1elephone,

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made From
Garden Sage, Restores Color to
Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs,
which, unfortunately, are looked up
on as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hairs, however, are not always an
indication of advancing age, for
many people have gray hairs quite
early in life. Of course it is unna-
tural, and indicates that there is
something wrong with the individ-
ual, and that Nature needs assist
ance in correcting the trouble. The
same is true of hair that is constant
ly falling out and becoming thinner
every day. If everything is right
with Nature, the hair, even in COM
paratively elderly people, should be
long, thick and glossy, without even
a streak of gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in
restoring and preserving the hair is
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, a clean and wholesome
dressing for daily use. 1t not only
removes dandruff, but strengthens
weak, thin and falling hair and pro-
notes it's growth. A few applica-
tions will restore faded or gray hair
to it's natural color.
Get a. bottle today, and let it do
for you what it has done for thou
sands of others.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

Lonqfeliow's Incomplete Library.

LongfeIIow's Incomplete Library.
remember there was one little boy
of whom Longfellow was very fond
and who came often to see him. One
day the child looked earnestly at the
long rows of books in the library and
at length said, "Haye you got Jack
the Giant Killer?'"
Longfellow was obliged to confess
that his library did not contain that
venerated volume. The little boy look.
ed very sorry and presently slipped
down from his knee and went away,
but early next morning Longfellow
saw him coming up the walk with
something tightly clasped in his little
fists. The child had brought him
cents with which he was to buy a
"Jack the Giant Killer" to be his own.

Insect Tones.

An investigator given to the collec-
ton Of curious data has observed that
there are at least three different tones
emitted by insects-a low one during
fight, higher one when the wings
are held in such manner that they do
not vibrate and yet higher tone
when the insect is held so that none of
its limbs can be moved. This last, it
is pointed out, is the voice proper of
tile insect. In some cases it is pro-
duced by the stgmata of the thorax.

Tho Eternal Feminine,

From the fresco paintings Of women
in the Cretan palaces of the period
about 1000 B. G. it is learned that the
women of that time pinched in their
waists, had 6ounced or accordion

their heads. shoes with high heels and
hats which might have come from a
Partisan hat shop. while one woman
might be described as wearing jupe

CALLS MONUMENT LAW VOID.
Banker Protests Against Price and
Twain Appropriations.

Macon.-Web M. Rubey, vice-presi-
dent of the Rubey Trust company and
former senator, mailed to State Aud
itoS John P. Gordon a protest against
the appropriations for monuments for
Sterling Price and Mark Twain. In
his letter Mr.. Rubey says:
'In making this protest ! am not, &C
tuated by any sentiment or opposi-
ton to a due expression of regard for
these eminent men, nor because of
the pittance | would pay of the
amounts appropriated, but because I
regard the violation Of u state con
stitution a crime against which every
good citizen should enter a protest.
To permit a legislature to pass a law
violative of the constitution is to
open wide the door of reckless extrav-
agance and corrupt use Of public rev.
enue. If m man is entitled to have
a monument over his grave at public
expense, why not another? | have a
supreme contempt for that poor, sick
ly sentiment of man-worship anyway.
Each man is fitted for his place and
no man more than measures up to his
duty"
Mr.. Rubey cites section 46, article
4, and section 3, article 10, which he
claims render the appropriations void.

EVINCE TOO MUCH INTEREST
Steel Trust Philanthropy at Its Best
Is E~xempIified in Recent
Transactions.

Defenders Of the steel trust have
placed much emphasis on the asser-
ton that it never has used its vast
power to the disadvantage Of indie
pendent manufacturers, who, they
declare, have been permitted to-
grow and prosper.
According to these %apologists, the.
Steel corporation is a model Of dis
interested philanthropy. So far from
seeking to monopolize the steel
trade of the country, it continually
is devising some means of assisting
its smaller competitors to make
their business profitable. .
Some recent statistics supply GER
tain details of this ph~ilanthropic pol
icy which may prove interesting. ,
For instance, there is in the Du-
luth, Missabe G Northern railroad,
which runs from Duluth to the iron
ranges of northern Minnesota. In
connection with another road, which.
is under the same ownership, this
line carries one-half of all the iron
ore used in the United States.
Some conception of the rates that
are charged for this service may be
formed when it is stated that this
road paid dividends OF $50 per cent
the first year after it's control pass
ed to the steel trust, as compared
with 6 per cent the year preceding.
1t paid 145 per cent In 1909.
This concern, consequently, is not
greatly interested in the matter Of
rates. 1t merely takes the money
from n pocket to put 1t in another.
But how about the independents?
The rate that makes such enormous
profits possible is a tax ON their bus,
mess which operates in favor of the
steel trust, exactly as the tariff
operates to protect the wooden mills
of New England.
A little more such paternal inter-
est would wipe the independents off
the map. .

The Man Who Lost His State,

What the state Of Ohio is doing to
William H. Taft and his political for
tunes Is almost too shocking for repe-
tition. In 1908, because he was a IA
vorite son, it gave him a plurality of
6 $4,000, but at the same time it elected
hudson Harmon governor by a plurali-
ty of 10000. In 1910, after a year and
a half of Mr.. Taft in the presidency,
it reelected Mr.. Harmon by a plu-
rality Of 100000. This year every i'm
portant city in the state went Demo
cratic by big majorities.
Without wishing in any manner to
disturb the mourners we should like
to ask the standpatters If 1t is their
intention next year to go to a Demo
cratic state for their candidate?

PUT END TO ROBBERY
TARIFF SITUATION SUMMED UP
IN FEW WORDS.
Figures Will Show Where "Protec7

Conditions That Call for
Prompt, Decisive Action.

With respect to the tariff it is as
true now as it was when Mr.. Cleves
land first said 1t, that it is a condi-
ton, not a theory, that c~onfronts US.
Whatever may be said for free
trade theoretically-and it is much
in point of fact we are so enmeshed
In a completely of protection, and
millions of people are so dependent
on it for existence, or think they are,
that tariff reform must be handled
with care.
But that is no good excuse for dila7
tory and mtncing measures in cases
where protection is clearly unHeces.
sary and serves no better purpose
than thit of shielding monopoly and
extortion.
Where it is shown that a protected
American product is continually and
increasingly sold abroad at a lower
price than is exacted at home, the
proof that protection is no longer
needed is conclusive.
There is no need of waiting for a
board to find out the comparative cost
of production here and elsewhere.
Nc wrong will be done by withdraw!
ing all protection in any such case.
But here the condition that con
fronts us calls for prompt and de
cisive action. The industries cor
cerned have become the most power
full and arrogant of all. They iniu'
ence the greatest number Of voters
employees and others. They fill party
campaign treasures. They own party
bosses.
1t is an inevitable condition where
protection has been too long con-
t1nued, and the protected have grown

victims must meet it by a ~preemptory

W. L. DOUGLAS tn
Manufacturer Thinks
Should Obtain Publicity
License System.
Large business organizations

Large business organizations
come to stay. We cannot go bat
old conditions. We must meet We
competition. Large concerns can pr
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tons. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is a backward
step. There should be no limit TO a
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business. such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
favor, writes w. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts,. in the
Boston Herald.
P~rejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainabIe. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law it is
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. It should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public &C
countaint. There should be a board
of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as u ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
anime the records of all the direc-
torates of these companies.
