"HE dreamers OF wars and battles

Il ment of the new field Of achieve
ment that the conquest Of the air has
opened for human ingenuity. one OF
the latest military devices, in which the
sustaining property of the air plays
chief part, is a German invention for
revealing the position and movements OF
an enemy's forces during the night
The apparatus is called a ''projec-
tile light protector" 1t consists Of a
special form OF projectile, which can
be fired from field gun, at high ele-
walton, and which is furnished with a
parachute that begins to open as soon
as the proiectile. having attained the
| summit Of its flight, commences to de-
scend Then an automatic device causes
the ignition of infiammable material.
which IS so arranged that II continues
to emit a powerful light for consid-
erabie time After the first explosion
the light burns steadily in a receptacle
under the descending parachute, and,
being projected by lenses or reflectors In
a broad cone, illuminates the country
beneath sufficiently TO reveal the fea-
lures Of the topography, and any
marching Of troops or planting Of bat
teries that the enemy may be conduct
ing under cover of the darkness.
It's Advantage.
Tho advantage claimed for this irven-
ton Is that, unlike fixed searchlight
II gives to the enemy no clew to the real
position Of their foe, for the gun, after
firing the proJectile. can quickly be
shifted to another point. and so the ac-
tual source from which the revealing
light originates can not be bombarded
by them, as a .searchlight could be

/ II is proposed to employ a similar
form OF Illuminating parachute by
dropping II from a passing aeroplane.
As It's light is all cast downward
there would be no illumination OF the
aeroplane, which could quietly glide
away after dropping its parachute. This
would. perhaps. be a better way to en-
ploy the device than by firing the appa-
ratus from a gun. There would be no
noise to betray the location OF the

territorial supreme court, through test
ease on agreed facts, for decision as
TO Just what the legislature intended
whom II re-enacted the 1911 law, but
reduced the rate, notwithstanding that
assessments had been made for the
whole year as of January / under the
two per cent, rate, while the new law
became effective on the closing day of
the session, April 80, when the Governor
| signed the act.
It is also understood Attorney C. R.
llemenway will represent those who
contend the new rate should apply. This
makes the case all the more interesting
as it was Hemenway who, as the then
attorney general, drew up the bill pass
cd by the Legislature of 1909, when the
planters were said to have been will
,rg to do anything in order to be al
lowed to tax themselves so as to raise
revenue for immigration, purposes un.

H'he total collection up to June 30,
1912, amounted to about $4,000, of
which $33o,000 went for immigration
purposes and $4,000 toward the con.
servation fund. This was at the rate of
two per cent. At the same rate n like
amount is expected to be realized this
year. but if the one per cent. rate con-
tenton is upheld by the supreme court
the total will be cut down to about
! 5000 for the year, divided, under
the new act, evenly between the immi.
grafton and conservation funds, or
about $4,000 for each, in which case
the conservation fund would not suffer
at all, but the immigration fund would
be cut down to just third of its for
mer amount.

produced in the United States and Hawaii do not,

American producer can not be charged with dis

Letters From
The People
THE Du1FFoPRuaaAR VIOLIN.

Editor Advertiser.-In your issue
bearing date May IA there appears a
very interesting account of supposed
Duifopruggar violin. Without wishing
in any way to dispute the statement
made as to the authenticity Of that in.
strument, il may be of additional inter
est to say few words about the man
to whom it is attributed and of his con.
nection with instruments belonging to
the string family, and of the likelihood
of the genuineness of the find.
Three authorities have given his
birthplace as being Bologna, in Italy,
early in the sixteenth century; at Fus.
sen, in the Bavarian Tyrol, in 1914, and
at Pressing, in Bavaria, in 1914. How
ever, it has been firmly esta blished that
he was born at Freising in 1914, that
he settled at Lyons in 1853, that he was
naturalized in 1863, and that he died 5
there in 1872.
Although the names of Caspar ,Dpiifo-
pruggar, Gaspard Duiffopurgcar, Gas
pard Duiffoproucart, are those by which
as musical instrument maker he is
best known, yet his original name was
Tieffenbrucker. The change was made
when he took up his residence in Italy

CRIMINALS FEAR PUBLICITY.

The Introduction of bill by Senator Works of Cali
forna for the suppression from the newspapers OF the
details of crimes and other matter which the worthy
senator believes unfit for publication was reported by
wireless to this paper and the report duly published to-
getherwth later and fuller reports OF Senator Works
speech defense of his The Californian senator
took the position taken by many who fail to appre-
cate the benefit of publicity means of crime suppress
sion and an aid to the police in their hunt for criminals
but his position is evidently approved of by some in lo'
noulu, who have been good enough to forward to The
Advertiser marked copies of the Christian Science Mon
tor containing Senator Works speech. ot
We have read the speech and the comments of the
Monitor with interest agreeing with both to the extent
that we do not and never have believed in printing
details OF crime making extended references to
any other lapses from the moral law except in
where we knew that publicity would help and except
where we believed that it necessary to shock the
community into action. For the benefit of those who
have taken the trouble to mail to the copies of the
Monitor we herewith publish the "other side" taken
from the New York Times. Says that publication:
That the great State of California should be
represented in the federal senate by
who learned the nature of human ills and how
to cure them from Mrs Eddy is one of those
outcomeS OF popular government that excuse
though of course they do not justify, the appre-
hanSfonS sometimes expressed by pessmists as to
whittier 1t is leading may lead this and the
other countries that have it. The phenomenon is
not really alarming, for always when Senator
Works rises IN his carefully adjusted senatorial
toga and proposes some absurdity like forbid
ding the newspapers to give publicity to criminal
sandth time that adoption of the suggested course
would be stupid and fatal mistake.
TINS wearlsome but apparently necessary task
we nave ourselves not nfrequently performed,
and now 1t has been done again and well by the
COMMISSIONERS in whose hands lie such destinies
OF the District of Columbia as are not reserved
by congress Tor It's guidance and control. In
reporting their opinion of the Works Bill to cen
sor crimes out of the press the commissioners
shrewdy say:
THAT dread of publicity has deterrent in
nuence upon those disposed or tempted to the
committing OF crime may reasonably be inferred
from the fact that most offenders against the
law earnestly seek to avoid exposure of the cir
camstahceS OF their msbehavior in newspaper
reports of their trials"
vi course they are quite right and congress can

NeWberry Letter.

What do you think of man when
he says he is thirty years old and has
lived one hundred. He certainly must
have been sowing some Wild oats in
the past.
One of our most able circuit judges
recently made a complimentary re-
mark on the petit jurors from Colum-
bia and one in the upper part OF the
State. We are satisfied that old Lex
ington is on the same list.
We are pleased to see the different
communications from different sections
Of Lexington county 10 last weeks
issue of the Dispatch. Let them con-
tinue to come.
The good people Of the good old
Dutch Fork of Lexington county better
had let good enough alone. If they
think by annexing to Newberry or
Richland counties that they will have
no taxes to pay they will certainly be
mistaken, and for conveniences, 80
far as the railroads are concerned, how
many people will leave their horse
and buggy at home and reach down
in their pockets and pay the fare to
Columbiaor Newberry? Not one out
of every twenty, and so far as the
dirt roads are concerned, the distance
to either of the places would be very
little. Your school districts are al
ready established and by annexing to
either of the counties you certainly
would have some trouble along that
line. B. B. H.
