"If prohibition failed in Alabama it can not be claimed it was from lack of laws, radical enough to please even the most intemperate prohibitionist. Yet during it's reign it filled our larg- CT cities with a condition of lawless- ness never before known. It crowded our doekets with criminal cases. It established a system of spies and in formers odious to any free people. It encouraged perjury, created bitter ami mosities, disrupted churches, and alienated friends. Men without chas- acter, to whom a license would not have been granted, the most criminal element of the cities dispensed the vii. est, most poisonous and adulterated liquors, selling at all hours, and to all ages without any restriction.

TO REPLENisH THE TREASURY,

TO REPLEMiSH TIE TREASURY.
 As sort of heroic remedy for 2 state. treasury that is "busted wide open," Attorney General Hal Norwood is suing various interpretations doing business in the state for sums aggre- gating over $6, 6,009, G69 under the plea of back taxes.
 Wheth9 or net such move is back ed by laT and justice we do not pre- tend tesay, but the proposition certain ly. hphasizes the claim of capitalists that investments are never secure in Arkansas. It is no wonder that we go on paying 10 per cent for money, when it goes begging in other states at 5 or 6 per cent.
 It is possible that every corporation named has not borne its proportion of taxes under a technichal construction of the law, but corporations are not the only tax dodgers in Arkansas. In fact, they are the least offenders in the state along this line, for ali their wealth is exposed and if they are not made to pay, 1t is the direct fault of the administration.
 Private individuals, wealthy and otherwise, is the class that succeeds in beating taxes most, and you seldom hear of any movement against indivi- duals to make them pay up.
 The present scheme of listing pro perty at 50 per cent of its value Is forming basis for a big claim for back taxes in the future. These as sessments are made contrary to law and it will be an easy matter in the future to make corporations ''dig up. " It has been suggested that private in dividuals may be let in on such a deal also, just for the novelty, if nothing else. The law is too plain to be ignor- ed, when once 1t has been invoked. It looks like party that would get state "balled up" like this state is now ought to De given vacation. y

SINGS DUETS WITH HIMSELF

German physicians are trying to
discover the mystery Of a man with
a double voice His normal voice is
a baritone of wide range, but in sing
ing he is able to accompany himself
in a higher key. The Berliner Kill
nische Wochenschrift says that Dr..
Schreier introduced this man at re-
cent meeting of the Berlin Laryngo-
logical society, the members OF which
examined him, without being able to
throw any light on this human duet.
In demonstrating his faculty he sings
an air first in the normal then in the
double voice. Unfortunately, when
the laryngoscope is in position for
study the double singing is produced
with great difficulty and the artist
would not permit the use Of cocaine.
The possession of the double voice
makes it easy for him to initiate vari-
GUS instruments AS this class Of
mimetics and also ventriloquists have
already been studied profitably with
photography the thought lay near to
use this diagnostic resource in the
present subject. The skiagrams
showed enough to suggest to Schreier
that the double voice was produced
by the simultaneous action of the
vocal cords and epiglottis. Others
have suggested that the extra voice
might have been produced with the
soft palate or ventricular bands. It
Is highly improbable that 1t can be
produced by the vocal cords alone.
AS the vibrations cannot be seen their
causation must remain conjectural.

TOP OF DROWNED CONTINENT

The British museum Is Quitting an
expedition TO the Pacific 10 try TO-
solve the problem OF gigantic prehis-
torio stone images Of human beings
discovered on Carter island, a mere
speck In the ocean. about 1880 miles
west OF Chilli.
II Is thought that maybe this little
isle Of mystery is the last pinnacle OF
a submerged continent which once in
bygone ages occupied the greater part
OF the South Pacific and possibly
Joined Asia and America. The inhabL'
tants may have grl. 1ually been forced
to the top Of the last peak. there to
perish. only after they had erected
their wonderful monuments
The island is only Nforty-fiVe square
miles In area, but on It there have
been raised immense platforms facing
the sea and formed of huge stones
fitted together without cement. Some
Of the separate stones weigh five
tons. and the sea wall at places Is
30 feet high and 200 feet long. On
the land side of the platforms there
are broad stone terraces, on which
stand. upon pedestAls, huge figures
carved out Of lava from the crater Of
an extinct volcano several miles
away.
There are in all 555 Of these images,
most of which have been thrown
down perhaps thousands OF years ago.
The largest is sixty-eight feet long
from the top Of the head to the hips,
and les nose is eleven feet In length.
None of the images shows a figure
below the hips and they seem to have
been originally set on their pedestals
as busts. Several of the busts weigh
$50 tons apiece.
There is evidence that the work on
the images suddenly ceased. Vast
numbers OF human skeletons are un-
der the stone platforms, probably the
bones of people who were sacrificed
to the images.

ODD SHOWERS OF SPIDERS

] Gilbert White gives an account Of
a spider shower that continued for
nearly a whole day Darwin saw one
at sea. Each spider was supported,
It appears, by tiny parachute com
posed of a few threads of almost in
visible gossamer. Spider showers
have from time to time been made the
subject of scientific reports in this
country. One of them gives this
description of the phenomenon:
On the morning of this shower
there had been some electrical dis
turbance. There had been one loud
peal of thunder but no rain. At 10
O'Clock there was observed a number
of spiders that ran over the coat
sleeves Of the observer. He brushed
of several trails Of gossamer web.
Upon looking about he discovered
that the houses, walls and trees
showed these webs dangling from
them; and that other gossamer webs
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-08-16

! were continually falling from above
and adding to the accumulation.
BY midday a fence was festooned
from point to point of its triangular
rail tops with a ribbonlike ladder Of
gossamer, and this continued to be-
come broader and broader as the tiny
creatures continued to run along this
ladder, each spider increasing the
breadth by adding its own contribu-
tion of another silken thread.
All along this ladder the spiders
we're running in an excited and hur-
ried manner as If they has lost their
way in a strange country. Some, in
proceeding over their improvised
road. made mistakes and got into the
bordering webs of the garden spiders,
by which they were speedily de-
voured.
At 1 o'clock the clouds vanished,
the sun came out and the observer
noticed that some OF the spiders had
begun to reascend into the atmos-
phere. Fixing his gaze upon one Of
them he observed that as IT left the
gossamer pathway it selected a clean
spot on an iron railing and, gathering
its legs closely together, projected its
spinnerets, several threads that ex-
tended outward and stretched up
ward from nine to twelve inches.
Then this parachute seemed to show
a buoyant tendency, and suddenly the
tiny creature let go Of the iron rail,
or was lifted off it, and quickly van-
ished into the air.
