UNPOPULAR

The recent fist fight, a relic Of
barbarism, which took place in
Canada, and which resulted in
the instant death Of Luther Nc
Carly, the 200-pound pugilist,
who was so confident that he had
no equal, is appalling.
The States can congratulate
themselves that this murder did
not occur on the soil of the grand
old U. S. A. Yet we feel sorry
for Canada, for it might have
happened in the United States
for not all our states have passed
laws against prize fighting.
This should be warning, and
special efforts should be put forth
by the law and order leagues,
Christian institutions, and men Of
influence to get the the necessary
laws passed that will forever stop
prize fighting as a public and leg
al affair. If no other way, let
the federal government t ak e
active steps. Prize fighting is
becoming unpopular, and should
be relegated to there and
stamped as a crime.

Economy and saving are I'M

They have built fortunes and

ever, there are places and times
when saving is losing. Saving
the cost Of fertilizers or lime
may mean the losing of in
creased production. Saving the
price of spray materials may
mean the loss of a valuable fruit
crop.
Saving time by not testing the

loss in yield. Poor economy

Capt. Moody of the schooner Mary Liz
zie which arrived in port, yesterday
from a fishing cruise reports that, Satur-
day morning at sunrise, about 100 miles
east of Portland he saw large barque
rugged vessel of 500 or 900 tons apparent
ly light, about six miles astern, with
painted ports. At noon he discovered
that the vessel had been altered to ship
rig and she was pursuing him with no
coors flying. The wind being moderate
the ship couldn't catch the schooner.
About noon she put out boat which
was manned by about 20 to chase the
schooner. The wind increased and the
schooner got away. At sunset the shep
was right over the vessels stern steering
N. N. West. At that time the schooner
was off Mt. Desert.

Enaines of War.

II is an old thought that the nations
may come to abolish war because of
the increasing destructiveness Of the
means of warfare. The last weapon
in this way to be evolved is the f.
| ray, mysterious force, discovered by
Gluio u1ivi, an Italian engineer, to
which the Italian government is giving
attention. The discoverers claims
are startling, and his performance no
less so. Our consul, John Hall Os-
! borne, at Havre, sends a report of
what he witnessed at Havre few
weeks aSo. Different kinds of pow
der were placed in Theoretically seal
ed iron casks and sunk in the harbor
of Havre at intervals approximately
from two thousand feet up to four
miles from the yacht on which Ulivi
stood with the apparatus. He then
| touched button after button and at
| Will all the mines were exploded. There
was Perfect accord between the dis
charging stations and the floating
markers over the mines. On another
day a mine sunk fourteen miles from
the yacht was fired by this wireless
F. ray or current. In every instance
Ulivi was able to select the particular
mine to be discharged.
Consul Osborne says that the inven-
ton differs apparently from anything
hitherto known. The only requisite
for an explosion is that the explosive
shall be in contact with some metal.
The engineer first seeks with aid of
special protector, the metallic mass
es which are in a certain radius. The
return waves reveal to him not only
the distance of the mine. but also it's
| electromagnetic capacity. He then
sends the exact wave which will pro-
euce inside of the container, and in
that eontainer alone, the spark neces-
sary to cause tile explosion. This Ger
tainiy looks like the last word in
! barber defense at least. Whether it
will add its weight towards bringing
peace, the world will have to wait to
see. Nothing prevailed against the de-
I termination of the Balkan states to go
to war. Nor did the awful cruelties
/ and destruction caused by it prevent
them from renewing it.
But two things seem plain, one that
this is not the last discovery that will
be made toward making war more
awful. The actuality of wireless teleg-
raphy, the Roentgen ray and now this
| F. ray are proofs that we shall still
know other things about this planet
and the possibilities of it's elements.
There must surely be corresponding
progress in the moral world-telling
discoveries of the working of moral
laws. We are having proofs of this
/ every day. There is moral regenera-
| ton going on all over the world. And
| it is this force that is first likely to
render future wars impossible. The day
will come when wars of this present
time will be looked back ON as We
now look back on the doings of bar
| barous semi-civilized peoples.

Poison Ivy.

The recent spasmodic propaganda
for destroying poison ivy is similar to
an effort at sweeping back the waves
of an incoming tide. At the present
moment millions of migratory birds
are engaged in distributing the seed.
The plant is one of the most beau
tifGl members of the sumach family.
At this time of the year it is pouring
streams of liquid gold over the old
stone walls and roadside trees. 1t is
filling the woods with sunshine on
days when. the sun is behind the
clouds. The idea of effectually dis
posing Of widely distributed estab-
lished indigenous plant will appeal to
every one, who possesses a sense of
the ridiculous. The only result will be
that some of the most fascinating and
conspicuous specimens will be ruth
lessly tern down. Their places will be
taken next spring by other vines of
the same species. which may require
years for becoming attractive.
A similar procedure would consist in
education of the people. An object
lesson of thirty seconds for every
school child would suffice for teaching
the child what the leaves of poison
ivy look like. The effect of the lesson
would be lasting in the case Of those
who happened to be poisoned. We
must remember that a few people are
poisoned severely by this species of
plant, a great many people are pois-
not poisoned at all by it. In this re-
spect it is like wine. Do not attempt
to destroy an object Of such wonder
full beauty in preference to the lesser
task-far lesser task-ef educating the
people, even though they fight like
devils against learning anything in
