The Great Art of pyina.

To die without rebellion and withou.
weakness is the masterpiece of a man.
A mountain guide whose name the
London Mail does not mention in mar
rating the story of his heroism, with
two others. was leading a party over
one of the most dangerous passes of
the higher Alps.
The men. as is usual, were tied to-
gether by long rope. AS they scaled
a wall Of fee they slipped on the. edge
of a frightful chasm- The guide was
at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was a
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with 1t his experienced eye
told him there was none. With In
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
Tell mother how it happened, Ed
mond."
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen again

After q few minutes hesitation ana q

he began to show change of appear

creased. and his movements lost their
spasmodic character. Later he was
seen to move with more activity. One
morning, warmed up for action by the
power of the suns heat, he moved his
stomach rapidly from side to side and
from top to bottom and rejected the

DINING ON SEA URcHIN.
Queer Way In Which the GIutton
StarHsh Devours Its Prey.

Fights to the death are common be-
tween sea urchins and starfish. The
starflsh when ready for battle raises
one of his arms toward the sea urchin.
The urchin shoots out all his bristling
spines, or needles. and, in addition to
his always visible arms, brings out an
arm that is never seen unless it is
needed for active use. This usually
invisible weapon is sort of nipper.
edged with teeth. During one fight be-
tween a sea urchin and a starfish the
starish. with a sudden movement,
broke of the pincers of the urchin.
The pincers remained imbedded in
the flesh of the starfsh. Finding his
chief weapon gone, the urchin drove
all his needles into the back of the
starfish, not all together. but one after
another, with all the method OF calcu-
lated action. AS the needles entered
the back Of the starfish the starfish
broke them, one by one. The urchin.
rendered powerless by the loss of his
needles. made few mechanical move

PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE FORMED
NonPartisan Organization Under Way
to Advance Insursent Policies.

NonPartisan Organization Under Way
to Advance Insursent Policies.
A few weeks ago James A. Edger-
ton, the newspaper writer, suggested
the formation OF a nonpartisan pro-
gressive league TO push forward pro-
gressive principles. He has just re-
ceived word Of the first league formed
under the plan. 1t is In San joaquin
county. Cal. In which Stockton is 10
Gated, Is organized as a county league
and meets every month. The secre-
tary, Mary F. Merrill, suggests that
speakers be sent out to push the propa-
ganda of the movement and believes
that such organizations will do a vast
amount of good"
In the original suggestion Of the pro-
gressive league the plan was to have
the people organize themselves with
out waiting for outside help and when
a sufficient number Of leagues in a
state had been formed to organize a
state league, thus continuing ill ma
tional body could be formed The
well known progressive principles,
such as tariff reduction, direct nomi-
nations. popular election of senators,
initiative and referendum, control of
corporations. elimination Of special in
terests from politics and other like
policies, should form the platform Of
the movement. It should be in no
sense a new party. but should contain
members Of all parties and seek only
the promotion Of the peoples rights.
Mr.. Edgerton. whose home is In Nut
ley. n. j., now begins to believe that
something may come Of his suggestion
and hopes TO hear from the formation
OF other leagues.

The LARGEST IsIands,

Australia has long been classed as
the least of the continents and not an
an inland. The largest islands are
graded downward in the order OF their
size. as follows: Greenland, 5000
square miles; New Guinea, $4,000;
Borneo. $4,000; Madagascar, 100000.
In the absence OF exact surveys these
areas are rough estimates and must be
considered only as approximations, but
1t is not likely that careful measure
ments win introduce corrections 50
large as to change the order OF tho
