Latest Mexican Revolt ;
Against nuerta
To Result OisastrouSIy :

~ EXICAN revOltS, upriSings and
rebellions hare long ceased
to attract the attention Of
busy Americans. Our neigh.
Dor on the southwest has been in u
state of turmoil SO long That a reign
Of peace and tranquility would be the
exception. However, the uprising and
sentiment against President Huerta,
whose Office has level been officially
recognized by the United States, have
recently assumed a threatening and
serious attitude. So acute did the sit
nation become that the state depart
ment realized that something must be
done. and done quickly. Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson was hurriedly
summoned from Mexico City to Wash
ington for a conference with Secretary
Of State Bryan, President Wilson and
other governmental officials. The first
matter considered was the repeal Of
the neutrality proclamation prohibiting
expectation Of arms into Mexico.
The situation rapidly grew serious
recently when the lives Of Americans
and other foreigners in Mexico were
endangered by fighting between Mexi-
raj federal and rebel troops. Proper
ty of Americans was also In danger Of
grave damage. The rank and file Of
Mexicans cannot bring themselves TO
believe that the United States will In.

subject.
The feeling against Huerta in Mexi-
co has been growing fast Of late. Sup

overthrow, are seeking revenge. Colo

Removing Boiler Scala.

One OF the latest uses Of the oxy-
a%cetylene flame is the cleaning of scale
from boilers. The application Of this
flame to the scale detaches it quickly
from the plate. owing either to expan.
sion or to the generation Of steam be-
tween the scale and the plate. At a
recent demonstration on an old boiler
the scale fell away after the fame had
beer applied for n few seconds and
without injury to the plate. With the
fame, parts inaccessible to the chip
ping hammer were easily cleaned.

No Question About Il,

A child adopted from an orphans
home was being ridiculed by the other
children because he had no real par

follows:

Maybe l haven't, but the ones l
have got love me as much as yours do

"They do not. Ours are our real par

At the last moment, when his work
of a. score of years was nearing COM
p1etion, and the final volumes were
ready to issue from the press, the
browning humiliation was inflicted
upon Diderot. The publisher. he dis
covered, had edited the work, striking
out all passages he considered too
radical, or which might be dfspleas-
ing to church or state. =
Diderot's income from the sale of
the Encyclopedia averaged only
about $500 a year, yet on this he man
aged to live and to dispense charity
to the needy. His study was a gath
ering place for the poor of Paris,
where every one was welcome to good
advice or more substantial aid.
In 1855 Diderot, through. the inf1u-
ence of Voltaire, was the recipient of
a large sum from Catherine II. of
Russia, who also granted him a pen
sion of /, 900 francs, and ordered fifty
years income paid at once. Dfderot
spent several months at the court of
his imperial protectress, where he was
treated with the greatest respect. His
later years were spent in quiet and
comfort, and in 1888 he died sudden
ly of apop1exy.
