PERSIAN GULF SPRINGS.
Fresh Water That Bubbles Up From
tho Bed of tho Ocean.

Tne 6cQ OF fno Ocoan.
Bahrein island, In the Persian gulf,
is said to be the hottest place on earth
1t is usual there to find the thermom-
eter at 140 degrees r. On the coast of
this island, where practically all the
people live. there Is no fresh water,
which is needed above all things In 80
high q temperature. And It Is to be
had from the bottom of the sea. Here
and there scattered over the floor of
the harbor OF Bahrein are springs Of
pure fresh water, which wells up
through the sand to mingle with the
salt water of the sea.
1t seems 81 difficult task to find these
threads Of fresh water amid the oceans
volume, but the islanders are thought
to have found them ages ago and to
have passed on their location from
generation to generation. A diver
equlps himself with water bag made
of skins, the mouth Of which Is closed,
and descends to the bottom Of the har-
Dor at point where one Of the springs
issues. The bag is carefully inverted
over the current of fresh water as it
flows up from the sand. the mouth Is
opened. the skin is filed, the mouth ia
closed. and the diver returns to the
boat awaiting him on the surface.
One scientist gives 1t as his belief
that at some period In the shadowy
past that which is now the harbor's
bottom was not covered by the sea-
The springs were then on the shore
and ready for the ISLANDERS needs. Lit
tie by little the sea encroached on the
land, but the location Of the springs
was not forgotten.

JUSTICE FOR LABOR.

The following excerpt from the
inaugural address of President
Wilson recounting the deficien-
cies OF our government is sug-
gestive:
Nor have we studied and per-
fected the means by which gov
ernment may be put at the serv-
ice of humanity, In safeguard
ing the health Of the nation, the
health Of its men and its wo-
men and children as well as
their rights In the struggle for
existence. This is no sentimental
duty. The firm basis OF govern
ment is justice, not pity. These
are matters Of justice. There
can be no equality of opportuni-
ty-the first essential of justice
In the body politic-if men and
women and children be not
shielded In their lives. their very
vitality, from the consequences
Of great industrial and social
processes which they cannot al
ter, control or singly cope with.
Society must see to 1t that it
does not itself crush or weaken
or damage its own constituent
parts. The first duty Of law is
to keep sound the society it
serves. Sanitary laws, pure food
laws and laws determining con-
ditions OF labor which individ-
uals are powerless to determine
for themselves are intimate parts
of the very business OF Justice
and legal efficiency"

CAUGHT THE INFECTION.
The Fool Gunboat Took a Mad Freak
Just Like tho Moros.


Captain John E. Morris. VIII" spent a
long, long time In the Philippines chas-
Ing the Moro, tells story about
Spanish military governor In Jolo who.
in the peace OF fancied security, allow
ed whole flock of his soldiers to go
swimming one day.
Now, the Moro has a habit of going
Juramatado when religion hits him.
When a Moro goes juramatado he
takes the most disagreeable weapon
he can find and carves up the first
Christian he meets.
When the Moros saw the soldiers In
the water several OF them thought It
was the very best time to go jurama-
tado, with the result that those SOL
diers never went swimming any more.
The sultan, who had charge of that
particular bunch of Moros, promptly
was sent for. The Spaniard wanted to
know why his men were slaughtered In
such manner.
How could help itT' the sultan
asked. ''They went juramatado."

was Spanish gunboat lying around

governor sent for the commander of

officer. land you might try little.

Not a Union Pleader.

William b. Wilson, the head OF the
new department OF labor, summed up
in a few words the policy that will
govern him In the discharge of his du-
ties. While apparently he resented the
report that he would be a special
pleader In the cause Of labor, he ac-
knowledged to entertaining strong con-
yictions on the labor question. ''It
would not be accurate to say that I
represent organized labor in perform
ing my official duty" he said. AZ shall

however, the point Of view has much
to do with such matters"
