THE TEREDo.

Curious and Destructive Worm That
Digs Tunnels In Wood.
1t was in 1871 that Holland mar
rowly escaped inundation along its
coast because the timbers of the sea
bikes In many parts were discovered
to be quite unsound. The timely dis
covery of the real condition of the
bikes saved the country from an awful
catastrophe. the full extent Of which
was comprehended by only a few
Dutchmen.
The timbers had been honeycombed
by the teredo, or shipworm. This
creature burrows into any wood i'm
mersed in sea water. 1t makes an
entrance when young and digs chan
nels along the grain of the wood, liv-
ing and often dying in the timber. The
worm grows in some localities to a
length of twelve inches, its girth be-
ing one and a half inches. and the
curious thing about its whiplke body
is its exceeding tenderness. 1t cannot
bear its own weight 1t Will break II
subjected to any strain
1t will burrow straight along the
grain of the wood unless turned aside
by knot or nail, and. no matter how
many of these worms may be burrow-
ing in the same piece of wood. they
never run their channels into one an
other. By some marvellous instinct
they keep clear Of each others pre-
serves We have seen a cross section
Of a log eighteen inches in diameter.
and we counted no fewer than 800
distinct MISUNDERSTANDING.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

happened. In all parts of the country
merchants are preparing for active
business this autumn. Factories are
already filled with orders to supply
anticipated demands. The steel indus
try shows greater activity than ever,
and is running close to full capacity
at good prices with a big volume of
orders still in sight. The demand
comes chiefly from railroads and new
building enterprises. Railroads are
sure to be heavy buyers for a long per-
iod ahead, simply to satisfy impera-
tive demands for better equipment and
better facilities at terminal points
This condition will compel the rail-
roads to make large additional capital
applications during the next few
months. How they will succeed, con-
sidering the high rates which new cap
ital now demands, remains to be seen.
The reports of big crops and their
increased money values are already
familiar. Conditions in consequence
are ripening for period of very &C.
tive business in the United States.
There is no reason, except politics,
why 1913 should not prove a record
breaking year. AS an additional in
dication of improvement, Clearing
House returns last week were IA per
cent ahead of year ago, surprising
ly large increase, considering the
small volume of speculative transac-
tons The gains were we'll distribut-
ed over all sections Of the country,
though most pronounced in the great
Northwest. Another very satisfactory
proof of improvement is the increase
in current railroad earnings, both
gross and net. Railroad managers are
anticipating car famine owing to the
big crops. Such evidences of re-
vival are certain to restore confidence
and to still further stimulate activity
Thus far these conditnons have been
only slightly reflected in the stock
market. Prices have shown a steadily
hardening tendency, and have estab-
lished very fair advance since early
summer. The spirit of activity how
ever, is still dormant, and this alb
sence of response is not difficult to
explain. This is the usual period Of
summer quiet, partly owing to vaca-
ton absentees. There is still a large
degree of dissatisfaction with the rail-
road situation. 1t is taken for granted
that some concessions will be made to
the demands of the engineers, which
will, of course, be followed by demands
from other railroad EMPLOYEES. Should
the Interstate Commerce Commission
refuse to allow the railroads to COM
pensate themselves by increased rates,
the position of the railroads will be-
come still more disconcerting, espe-
cially in view of the undoubted ne
cessity for raising large amounts of
new capital.

BULLFlGHTS IN PORTUGAL.
The Battles Are 6loodiess and the Cen
testants Rarely Hurt.
osp-neht. 1919. NsssoaL Ns-, A.~ssssOl-


The distressingly cruel treatment of
animals so common in the Latin coun-
tries is almost entirely absent among
the Portuguese, and for this reason
their great national sport. the bull
fight, is really an enjoyable spectacle
to an American, writes Mrs. c. r. Mil
Ter in Leslie's Weekly.
In the Portuguese version the bull Is
never killed. The horrible goring Of
horses-a feature of the Spanish fight
does not occur. for If a horse was in
Jured in a Portuguese performance
the rider would be Kissed from the
ring and very likely mobbed after
ward. The men taking part are rarely
hurt. although the skill displayed Is
much greater than that shown In the
Castilian style Of the sport.
Occasionally they have a buriesque
Spanish bullfight in Lisbon with the
cruelty eliminated. The horses ridden
by the picador are armored and cannot
be gored, and when the bull is to be
killed the matador strikes him at the
particular spot on the back OF his
neck. which in Spain means almost
instant death to the animal. Instead
of killing the bull. however. the Pom
tuguese matador's sword doubles up
after the fashion OF the ones used by
the sword swallowers In our side
shows, and a red mark appears where
1t has touched the animals skin, thus
showing the audience that the mata-
dor has been successful. The horses
and bull then run out of the ring un-
injured.

LIFE OF THE SUM-.
Old Sells Heat Will Warm the Earth
For Millions of Years.

Old seI's Heat Will Warm the Earth
For Millions Of Years.
The rea son why the sun retains its
heat In spite of the quantity that it
gives out is explained by the fact that
heat is generated by the fall of par
ticles toward its center. The diameter
of the sun diminishes annually by $50
meters, little more than the ten-mil-
lionth part of its total.
According to estimates made, 10000
years will pass before the solar radius
diminishes enough to produce an eff
feet appreciable by the most delicate
Instruments, always supposing that
the astronomical instruments OF the
future viii be similar to the tnstru-
ments Of the present. By like calcula-
tons it is estimated that the sun will
send heat to the earth between six
millions and eight millions Of years
longer.
Radium, which emits heat spontane-
ously and without cessation. Is present
in the sun. One gram OF radium frees
enough heat in one hour to raise a
grain of water from the temperature
Of ice to the temperature OF boiling
water. Hence the presence OF this ele-
ment assists In the preservation Of the
SIMS heat. The spectroscope reveals
great quantities OF helium In the sun,
Quantities great In proportion to the
SIMS other elements. The presence OF
belium is due to the disaggregat1on or
radium. Two grams of radium per ton
,r thu sun,s elements would be enough
for the entire regeneration OF all the
heat lost by the sun.-Hafpers
Weekly.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-There is
worldwide activity in trade. Great
Britain, Germany and France have all
been enjoying unparalleled activity
and prosperity This extended to both
home and foreign trade. In Germany
there have on several occasions been
signs of over-strain, but timely pre-
cautions prevented trouble and indi-
cations are for a continuance of &C.
tivity for some time to come. In
Great Britain commercial activity has
continued on a record breaking scale
in spite of threatening social and po-
litical changes. No serious check has
thus far developed, and Great Britain
is looking forward to another season
of profitable activity in her widely
scattered enterprises. France is be-
ginning to recover from the setback
induced by political radicalism. In
creased commercial activity is not
confined to Europe. 1t extends into
Asia and India. In fact the present
boom-for it is nothing less-is world
wide, being one of those great forward
movements which come at regular
periods, and which are always stimu-
lated by progress of invention and the
development of means of communica-
ton.
For the past year or two the United
States has hardly kept pace with the
march of world events. For this our
politicians and would-be statesmen
must be held largely responsible. The
reckless and discriminating attacks
upon all forms of consolidated capital
promoted more by the spirit of envy
and malice or desire for political
notoriety than by a genuine wish to
reform obvious abuses, have been
mainly responsible for this arrest of
commercial progress in the United
States. Happily there are signs of
the abatement of this misguided and
unfortunate movement, although the
end should not be too confidently ex-
of the next congress is more fully de-
termined. Of one thing, however, the
country is terribly weary, and that is
the making of great business interests
the football of politics. This is quite
as injurious to the average voter and
the average laborer as to the owner
of capital, and will soon be more ap-
parent if attacks for political purposes
are not made with better discretion.
We have had enough of neurotic poll
ticians, and it is time that Washington
became the seat of sane and sensible
legislation instead of sensational poll
tics.
At last the United States appears
about ready to take it's share of the
worlds commercial activity. One
great offset to political disturbances is
the unusually bountiful harvest now
practically assured. This is the best
diversion from politics that could have

BIC CARD FOR FIGHT FANS

Richmond fight fans should see a
slashing good scrap tonight at the
Coliseum, when Young Donnelly steps
into the ring with Eddie Weber, the
fighting conductor
There is no doubt but what Weber
is the hardest puncher of the two,
but Donnelly also carries a knockout
punch and is much the cleverest.
These boys are classed amongst the
best welterweights and each will
weigh 1872 pounds ringside
In the semi-wind-up, Buck Daily will
swap punches with Harry Burghman

a slashing 10 round draw they should

VENEER is CURED

Patrol Driver Wenger is cured of
motorcylitis. Yesterday he started for
indianapolis with other members of
the local motor club, but hit a small
dog six miles west of Cambridge City.
He was thrown and his machine brok-
en-. He repaired this trouble, but
south of Indianapolis had more trou-
BILE with his disabled machine. He re-
paired this, and at Rushville, his des-
tination. he traded his machine for
another. He says he will sell this
one, and never straddle a motorcycle
of his own again.

European Civilization.

The first pavements in Paris were
laid about the year 1900: in London,
about 1417. Berlin was without pave
ments far into tho seventeenth CEN
fury. No houses had glass windows
before the twelfth century, and as late
as the fourteenth century anything
might be thrown out of the windows
of Paris and London after three times
calling out, Look out" Shirts were
not known until the time Of the cru
saders. and the fine clothes which la
dies aud gentlemen wore were seldom
washed, but only occasionally scent

found in Paris but three carriages,
while in England coaches date from
1850. Forks were unknown. and table
manners were exceedingly ''unsightly."

Eased His Conscience.

Dean auckland when at Westmin-
ster used to tell curious story OF
a brown paper parcel which he re-
ceived one day by post. After many
wrappings had been unfolded he found
a small black splinter Of oak about
an inch and a half long. The writer
of the unsigned note accompanying the
parcel said that when he was a boy,
many years before. he had Clipped the
splinter of the coronation chair. As
age advanced his conscience grew
troublesome, and he asked the dean
to be kind enough to restore the
splinter to its place.-Pall Mall Gazette.
