EAT sEAWEER-AFrER WHILE.

America possesses an associGtNn
to promote the consumption of sea-
weed as food. The members main
tain that in about twenty years time
the failure of the production Of
wheat to keep pace with the increase
of the worlds population will bring
us in danger of starvation. They
propose to redress the balance of the
land by calling into economic exist
ence the sea. 1t is said that in the
Sargasso sea alone sufficient nutri-
tious vegetation flourishes and de-
Gays to support all the inhabitants
OF the United States if it were har-
vested. Not long ago the associa-
ton held banquet at which sea-
weed was served in all fashions, and
the guests thoroughly enjoyed the
fare.

The tin had crumbled in a gray
dust, but the plumber was not in the
least nonplused.
1T caught cold" he said. That's all.
Tin is very liable to catch cold If it
gets in temperature under 60 de-
grees. AS rule 1t RECEIVERS, but a
tin cold often turns to influenza, and
then the case is hopeless. Nothing can
be done. The tin loses it's luster, de-
Gays, and finally crumbles to a gray
powder like this here.
These tin colds are contagious. A
tin dipper will give cold to a sauce
pan. and a lineup has been known to
contaminate an organ pipe.
only pure tin catches cold. For
that reason, when tin is to occupy an
exposed position or to encounter a
low temperature, we alloy it with
lead. Only alloyed tin is free from

Temperatures Of Volcanoes.

Scientists have recently secured an
accurate measurement of the temper
allure OF boiling lava in a crater. The
experiment was very dangerous one,
and it was considered a triumph OF
precaution no lives were sacrificed In
making the test
The crater OF Killauea In Hawaii
was selected for examination. The
work progressed very slowly. For
long time II was impossible to obtain
results, but after several thermome-
tiers had been destroyed a pyrometer
was substituted TO advantage. The
temperature recorded was 1,01O de-
grees centigrade, which is the same
as 1850 degrees Fahrenheit. Iron is
stiIl unmelted at this heat, but gold,
silver and copper become a molten
mass at a lower temperature.--Har-

wife Who Macs.

The worst thing that the bad fairy
could wish upon a man is a nagging.
fault-fnding wife. The most savoy
Of the dishes prepared by her hand
tastes fiat and stale If served up with
the sauce of her complaints, and the
cosiest of homes is a place of unrest
If 1t is the storehouse of her recrim-
nations. Even If there is just cause
for jealousy. nagging is an aggrava-
ton rather than a cure.
1t breeds the spirit of antagonism
and the case of the injured party is
hurt rather than helped.
The only safe cure for straying af-
fections is to make oneself so attrac-
tive, so agreeable, that the desired
love and attention is irresistibly held
to its original moorings. Sometimes
sudden evidence of Indifference
awakes the errant one to the fact that
the straying may be mutual Some
times renewed outbursts of affection,
of care and interest, is the tonic Of
weakened ardor. Sometimes splendid
results are accomplished by wearing
smart and becoming clothes and
brushing up the wits and Vivacity.

STRANGE SPREAD OF RUMoR
II Is So Mysterious That Greeks and
Romans Made of It a
Deity.

The phenomena of Rumor-its mys-
FERROUS origin and marvellous spread
so impressed the ancient Greeks that
they made Of 1t a deity, Phoeme, to
whom affairs were raised. This deity,
however, was not so completely per-
sonified as the later Roman Fama, but
considered rather as a divine voice
the Vox Del, as Grote puts 1t, passing
into the Vox Populi. The classic case
is the news of the Greek victory over
the Persians at Plataea, in Boeotia.
which Phoeme was said to have COM
municated to the Greeks as they went
Into action at Mycale on the other side
Of the Aegean, few hours later, al
though there was no telegraphy in
B. c. 479. Grote compares Michelet's
account Of the storming Of the Bastile,
which more than once emphasizes the
fact that nobody proposed It; the
whole populace seemed simultaneous
ly inspired.

HIS RECOVERY WAS SUDDEN
Passes to the Ball Game Worked a
Speedy Cure of Mr.. Jack
sons Ailments.

Dan Lane, the well-known stock
broker, and also a director of the
Armory club, was commenting on the
actions of fighter in some nearby
town. The fighter in question had ap-
parently been all in up to the last
round, when he came back and put
out mis- man.
What do you make of it?" asked
the friend.
TITS like a friend of mine named
Jackson" replied Mr.. Lane. "Jack-
sons wife had habit of thinking up
little odd jobs for him to do on his
day off, so he concocted a scheme by
which he should be sick on his day of
rest.
Everything went we'll until after
dinner and he was allowed to stay in
bed. Early in the afternoon his wife
entered the room and asked him if he
didn't feel little better.
NO." he answered, I'm sick
man; too sick to go puttering around
the house, putting on screen doors
and other such things"
ut isn't that DEAR" she replied,
''but Jones is out here with two
passes for the ball game"
Il, er-er, I am, er, / am feeling
little BETTER" he said, getting out of
bed.-Boston Traveller.

LITTLE NELL WAS ORIGINAL
Dcouinccy's eonr Lady Of Tears" Did
Nor Suggest the Character to
Dickens.

It is remarked OF Charles Dickens
that no modern writer was less open
to the charge of having received sug-
gestions from the characters and plots
Of his novels from others than was
he, and this for the reason that bis
plots and characters were chosen, not
from books, but from people and In
cidents in the living world about him.
Some time ago. however, an English
author thought that he had found in
DeQuincey's essay, "Our Lady Of
Tears" the suggestion for the beauti-
full pathos OF Little Nell, IN "The Old
Curiosity Shop" A little investiga-
ton, however, showed that De-
Quincey's essay was published in 1S45,
while "The Old Curiosity shop" was
published five years before. The ex-
tract here given from DeQuincey's es-
say is interesting:
"The eldest Of the three sisters is
named Mater Lachrymarum, our Lady
Of Tears. The sister it is that carries
keys more than papal at her girdle,
which open every cottage and every
palace. She, to my knowledge, safe
all last summer by the bedside of the
blind beggar, him that so often and
so gladly / talked with, whose pious
daughter, eight years old, with the
sunny countenance, resisted the temp
tations OF play and village mirth, to
travel all day long on dusty roads
with her afflicted father. For this did
God send her a great reward. In the
springtime of the year, and whilst yet
her own spring was budding. He
called her to himself. But her blind
father mourns for ever over her; still
he dreams at midnight that the little
guiding hand is locked within his own,
and still he wakens to a darkness that
Is now within second and deeper
darkness"

swIfts JOk. on Partridge.

Partridge, the almanac maker, who
taught Old Moore his business. will be
remembered as the victim Of an ex-
traordinary practical joke played on
him by Dean Swift.
Against Partridge's almanac for
17Os the dean published a rival al
manac. predicting Partridges death
on March 29, about IL at night, OF q
raging fever. And on March 80 APP
peared a pamphlet giving an account
Of the almanac makers death with his
confession that he was an impostor.
This was followed by Swifts "Elegy
on the Death Of Mr.. Partridge" which
so completed the deception that the
Stationers company struck Partridge
on the rolls and applied for an in
junction against the publication OF al
manacs In his name.
Partridge advertised that he 'was
not only alive, but was also alive upon
March 49," But no one believed him.

THOSE CORY STUDENT DUELs
Fresh Chicken Blood Made Il Easy to
Satisfy the Curiosity Of
Tourists.

Speaking Of the bloodless duel
which was "fought" last week be-
tween Professor Langevin and NJ.
Thery, a newspaper man, New
York physician who studied at Hell
dclberg, said. "In my day early all
duols, except those fought by stu
dents. were Of the same kind, and
Just because these were the real
thing every American tourist as he
came to the old town wanted to see
an encounter. IF you had been here
yesterday the hotel porter would
tell them, you might have seen one.
Then he would tell the seeker after
scenes of gore: Go to the Hirsch-
gasse meeting place tomorrow and
you may get a glimpse Of duel
Bright and early next morning
Mr.. Tourist and his family went to
the place, only to find that they
were just too late. The Keeper Of the
place took them to the room where
the duel had been fought, and even
showed them drops Of fresh blood on
the zinc floor. Then the party went
away satisfied, the keeper got his tip,
the coachman got his fee, the hotel
porter received his rake-off and the
man in charge Of the Hirschgasse
dueling place sprinkled fresh chick
en- blood on the zinc floor to be in
time for the next party."-New

PARADISE FOR THE ACTOR

voyage, was praising Australia, whence
he had Just returned.
"Australia's the placel" he cried en-.
Enthusiastically. "If pretty actress
makes hit over there, the warm
hearted Australians aren't content
with passing flowers over the foot
lights to her. No, no. They pass her
box of gloves. a dozen pairs of silk
stockings, a turkey, fur muff, or a
case Of wine. Why, in Milparinka my

"As for me-"
The actor made great gesture of
arm and shoulder to indicate modesty.

WHY DOES IT NOT ANSWER?

The Statesman evades the questions submitted to it,
There is occasion for evasion because evasion in this
means negative and will be construed by
the people.
The Capital News has no hesitancy and has never had
hestancy in stating it's position It's readers always know
where it stands In this campaign it is well known that
it is supporting Senator Borah for reelection to the
United States senate Because of that support it is sup
porting the Republican legislative tickets, not alone in
Ada county, but in every other county of the state where
they out squarey and fairly in pledges to support
Borah
In view of the open attacks made by the Statesman
upon the Republican legislative ticket in this county and
in view of it's evident hostile attitude toward Senator
Borah, we have demanded to know from that paper
whether not it desires and will work for the reelection
of Senator Borah and whether it will support the Republ
can legislative ticket in Ada county.
1t has refused to either these questions in
fair, open and frank manner, but in a manner to
strengthen the belief that it does not intend give such
support.
Now, the people have right to know that they may
give the statements and the publications in the States
man the weight they deserve in view of it's position.
Again. to the Statesman: Do you desire the eelecton
Of Senator Borah to the United States senate and will
work toward that end from until senator shall be
elected and will you support the Republican legislative
ticket in Ada county, each candidate of which ticket
signed personal pledge to vote for Senator Borah?
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1912-09-23

understand It, and not by the legislative candidates
themselves We have Of knowing whether those
candidates feel bound by this resolution not they
feel SO bound and again, they may not.
The candidate for state senator from that county is
Senator Hagh The record of the senator in the egsa
tuc of the state is guaranty that he is friend of the
common people and is only from friends of the
people that Senator Borah feel any of
election. Moreover Senator Haght is quoted by
high position of authority in the Republican organization
saying that if elected he would not vote for Senator
Borah unless the senator should out in support
Taft for president Now Borah has proof that covinces
him absolutely that Taft stole his nominaton-that he
secured it dishonesty and through fraud AS honest
man himself and patriot loving his country
than he loves the machinery that constitutes his party
Especially when such machinery is in such corrupt hands
as is now Senator Borah cannot and will out
for Taft, hence cannot and will not fulfill the conditions
said to have been laid down by Senator Haight
Now as friend of Senator Borah we demand to know
from Senator Haght PERSONAL---VERY. satisfied with hav-
ing it said by not known to have authority to
bind himwhether or not if elected he will vote for the
reelection of Senator Borah We want to know this
condtonay except the condition of the death decna
ton of candidacy by Senator Borah and feel that
have right to know; that the people of the state have
right to know and that the people of Cassa county have
la right to know.
We believe that if Senator Haight gives his personal
pedge to support Bora, he will keep that pledge We
also believe that unless he does give such pledge he will
mot vote for Borah when the real test comes

THE QUITTING IN" OF MR. HAINEs.

The linking of Mr.. Haines with Senator Borah by the
Republican central committee has been done for the
purpose of losing support for the senator 1t done
without his consent and without his knowledge and
continued after both the committee and Mr. Haines, him
SELF knew that it not the desire of Senator Bora
whose wish that he be allowed to conduct his own
campaign, just senatorial candidates have been per-
mitted to do by the Republicans since statehood
In other campaign an instance be pointed out
where the nominee OF the party for governor and
ddae for United States senator have been sent to cam
pagn together by the state committee In this instance it
has been done because both the committee and Mr. Haines
realize the weakness of the gubernatOrial candidate
While tribute to the strength of the senatorial
ddate still the friends of that candidate justified in
resenting the unnecessary and unjust burden imposed
upon him by the committee.
The manner in which the trick was turned makes the
act all the worthy of condemnation and all
the the resentment Of the friends Of the senator The
meetings advertised advertised Borah meetings
and the senator given not the slightest hint
given to understand that any else expected to
appear with him and to share the time allotted to him.
The purpose of the trick is made evident when it is
understood that even before Senator Borah himself knew
that Hanes had been sent off trailing along trying to gain
q little standing for himself and his candidacy
through reflected greatness of the whom he was
hrustng himself upon reports had been sent and had
been published in the Taft press of the that they
were campaigning together
AS matter of fact they not campaigning together
Mr. Borah is campaigning and Mr. Hanes is trying to
ciencies by crowding and forcing himself into company
where he has never been extended invitation.
Borah can stand the imposition but how about Hanes
How he square his conduct in this matter with the
dignity of the position he seeks? How he expect that
such conduct will appeal to the people of the state
cause them to believe he is capable to fill the position of
governor of the state?
1t is impossible. No man with so little pride or so
little sefrespect to say nothing of who admits that
he possesses little ability that he cannot make his own
campaign OF the state should be elected governor. He
may be fitted to be bookkeeper for real estate firm and
may be qualified to fill out insurance policy blanks but he
ls'not OF gubernatorial material.
