THE LOST SIXTH SENSE,
Animal Mysteries That indicate n SDe-
Cial Scnsibility.

The pigeon, although taken hun
dreds of miles away, is liable TO find
it's way back to it's doyecotc: the
swallow, returning from it's winter
quarters in Africa, crosses the sea.
and once more takes possession of
these long journeys. Is hit or is
it the influence of the changes in the
climate?
1t is useless to talk Of sight and Of
changes of climate when cat re-
turns home from one end Of town
to the other, threading its way
through a labyrinth Of streets and
alleys that it sees for the first time
And it is not sight that guides my
mason-bee especially when they are
let loose in the midst of wooden
country. Their low flight, two or
three yards above the ground, does
not allow them to take a panoramic
view, or gather the LAY" of the land.
What need have they of topography?
They hesitate only short time;
nest, despite the screen of chains
of hills :hat they cross by mounting
the slopes at no great height from
the ground. Sight enables them to
avoid obstacles, but it does not give
them general idea of their road.
MeteOrOlOgy has nothing to do with
the case; the climate has not varied
in those few miles of transit.
To explain these mysteries we are
driven, therefore, to rely upon another
mystery, a special sensibility that is
denied to mankind. In strange coun-
try, sense, so foreign to our or
ganism that we are not even able to
form a conception of it, guides the
pigeon, the swallow, the cat, the ma
son bee, and a host of other animals.
Whether or not this sense is mag
netic l shall not undertake to de-
eide; / am content to have contrib
utSu' III no SIlldll lIledSuEe, 10 prov
ing that it exists.
Why is mankind deprived of it?
1t would have been a fine weapon, and
OF great service in the struggle for
life. If, as men of science contend,
the whole of the animal kingdom,
including man, is derived from
single mold, the original cell, and has
evolved itself in the course Of time,
how comes it that that wonderful
sense is the portion of the humble
few, and that no trace of it is left in
man, the eliminating achievement of
evolution? Apparently our pecur-
sors were ill-advised to let so mag
nificent an inheritance go; it would
have been better worth keeping than
a vertebra of the coccyx of the hair
Of the mustache.
Does not the fact that this sense
has Tot been handed down to us point
to a flaw in the pedigree? 1 sub
init the little problem to the evOlu-
tion:sts, and / should be interested
TO know what those who talk of the
protoplasm and the nucleus have to
say to it.

Americas Privilege.

Our country should never forget
what a proud privilege and what an
inestimable blessing 1t Is not to need
and not to have big armies or navies
to support. 1t should seek to inf1u-
ence mankind not by heavy artillery,
but by good example and wise coun-
sci. 1t should see Its highest glory.

but II is quite likely that such a con-
dition will be brought about in the
near future.
The States correspondent has, with
in the past few days. talked with not
less than half a hundred members
OF congress-senators and representa-
tives-and the above Is q detail as
nearly accurate as IL is possible to
make 1t of necessary primary qualih-
cations in the different States as here
set out as nearly as the those inter-
viewed could remember without hav-
Ing copies OF their laws before them
for immediate reference.
No attempt has here been made to
do anything but to give the facts as
they were given The States corre-
spondent. Taking the various laws
altogether, there would appear to be
several points which the South Caro-
lima lawmakers might adopt. For
instance, In addition to the safeguards
which at present are supposed to sur
round the primary, one might be re-
quired to be qualified elector and
forced to secure his registration GER
tificate and poll tax receipt before
the election. That is what every
State in the Union which has the pri-
mary system at all Is either now do
ing or preparing to do in the near
future. 1t Is the only salvation of the
primary system. the only means Of
making the ballot what it ought IL
be, and the only means of insuring q
fair vote and honest count. If the
primary Is to stay the safeguards sur
rounding II must be dghtened in South
Carolina. There is a way to do it.
Require registration certificates and
poll tax receipts as a prerequisite to
taking part in an election. require
voters to be eligible to participate In
general elections before they are eligi-
BILE for the primary. and. in addition
to this, enforce to the letter Of the
law the corrupt practice act so rigid
ly adhered to i'm other States. With
that done, the primary will stay.

RECORD SNOWFALL
 IN CASCADE MOUNTAINS. Never so Much Early in January as
 There is Now.

Seattle, Wash, Jan 8.-All day an army of men with huge locomotives and rotaries struggled successfully to keep the drifting snow from bury1ng the tracks of the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee railways through the Cas- cade mountains. Tonight and toInor row the same work must be repeated, for snow is falling again.
 The trains of these railroads pass between banks of snow higher than the tops of the cars. It is doubtful 1fthere ever was so much snow in the noun tains early in January since the con- struction of the railways.
 Hundreds of men toiled today and are busy tonight digging out the buried tracks of the Great Northern on the western slope of the Cascades. The road ceased to operate it's mountain division last week and cannot yet set a day for resumption of traffic. Trains meanwhile use the Northern Pacific tracks.

Milkmen continue to be confused about the new ruling about milk bot that are constantly coming to State President G. Warren Davis of the Con- necticut Dairymen's association.
