Immoral and Immoral,

Are you immoral or immoralf Do
not answer too quickly, for If you are
only immoral we may be able to over
look 1t. Immoral stands to immoral
In much the same relation as unre-
generate stands to degenerate. If you
commit some act Of which the arbiters
of either disapprove, the category that
you go in all depends on whether the
arbiters have previously brought the
ethical constitution and bylaws to
your notice. II they have already told
you that a certain thou shalt not ex-
lists, then you are immoral II you dis
obey 1t. II, however, you are still In
an untaught state Of sheer savagery.
then you are merely immoral, and,
instead Of being the victim of execra-
ton and contumely, you are entitled
to all the emoluments and perquisites
OF any other savage. Ignorance of the
civil or criminal laws excuses no one,
but ignorance of the moral law does
count for q little these discriminative
days.-Lippincotts.

ELECTRICITY IN RAIN DROPS
charge-Describes Results Of His
Investigation.

Rain drops are almost always
charged with electricity. The charge
is often positive, rarely negative.
Many observers have measured the
charge approximately and made it
from 100000, 600, 000,O00.01 to 00oO,-
900 ,000, 000,001 amperes per square
centimetre. Prof. F. Herath of Kiel
describes in the Revue Electrique the
experiments by which he has meas
ured them.
He received the rain on fine me-
tallio cloth rs metres square insulat-
ed and attached to galvanometer in
cellar. The galvanometer registered
geographically. Among the facts he
proves are these:
Rains with a constantly positive
charge are much more frequent than
those that change to negative. The
passage from a positive to negative
charge corresponds to momentary
cessation Of the shower. The quanti-
ty of positive electricity brought by
the rain Ia fifteen times greater than
that Of the negative. The positive
currents in q steady rainfall are about
0.000, 000, 900, 000,000,1 amperes per
square centimetre; the negative cur
rents never exceed $1,000, 000,0 900, 900.
001 amperes per square centimetre.

Took Prize With Small Catch,

A tiny minnow, hardly an inch
long, and weighing the twentieth part
of an ounce. has brought an angler at
Armentieres, in the north Of France,
a prize Of $50, and earned him the
hearty dislike Of his fellow anglers in
Belgium and the north OF France.
Fifty-seven societies. comprising 1000
anglers, met at Armentieres the other
day to compete for q valuable prize.
After an hours fishing 1t was found
that only one fish had been caught.
The proud angler brought his min
now to the scale, and the organizing
committee, in the absence OF any
other catch. were obliged to award

TAKES HIS REST INDOORS
Hubby Has Given Up His Porch Bunk
and WIfey ls at a Loss to I'm
derstand Why.

A man living on the West side has
not been feeling very well recently,
and after much urging from the wife
consented to sleep In a couch ham
mock on the rear porch Of the home.
The first night his wife made up q
nice little bunk for him In the ham
mock. and in a few minutes he was
sound asleep
He had slept about an hour when he
was awakened by his anxious wife,
who came out to see II he was sleep
ing all right. Being assured that sleep
and the man were bosom friends, the
wife withdrew and once more the man
slept. This time he rested little
over an hour before his wife once
more appeared on the scene and anx-
iously inquired how hubby was sleep
ing. Hubby was a little sore by this
time over being aroused from good
solid sleep twice, and CURLY informed
the wife that he was doing all that
could be expected In the sleep line.
WHEY again retired into the house,
and hubby was soon snoring and en-
joying his rest.
Wiley stood 1t as long as she could.
but shortly before midnight she again
tiptoed out onto the rear piazza and,
after rousing hubby from his sleep for
the third time. sweetly inquired II he
was sleeping all right. Hubby didn't
offer any explanation or deign to re-
ply, but, crawling out of the hammock.
betook himself to his bedroom, locked
the door, tumbled into his bed and
managed to finish the night without
my further inquiries as to his ability
to sleep. Now he refuses to try the
out-of-door sleeping stunt and wiley
says she can't understand why. be-
cause she Just knows 1t will do him
a world Of good.-Worcester Post.

WAR SPREADS To
BRITISH COLONIES
SOUTH AFRICAN UNION UNDER
MARTIAL LAW IN CoNSE-
QUENCE OF REVOLT.
Agreement Between British officer
and German Governor to Establish
a RepubIls Said to be Respon-
sibie for Trouble.

Cape Town, South Africa-t has
been officially announced here that a
command under Colonel Maritz has
rebelled in the northwest of the Cape
provinces. Martial law has been pro
claimed throughout the Union.
The proclamation is signed by Lord
Buxton, governor general of the Union,
and countersigned by General Smut
minister of defense.
The rebellion among the forces Of
the northwest Cape province has been
brewing since the resignation OF Gen
eral Beyers as commander-in-chief oil
the Union forces.
AS soon as the government realized
this 1t sent Colonel Britt to relieve
Maritz of his command Colonel Britt
then discovered that Maritz was com
handing German troops as we'll as
his Cwn and that he had German guns
In his possession. MaritZ, who had
been given the German rank of gen,
eral, had arrested those of his officers
and men who were unwilling to join
the Germans and had sent them as
prisoners OF war to German South.
west Africa.
According TO an official statement
an agreement was drawn up between
Maritz and the governor of German
Southwest Africa guaranteeing the
independence of the Union as a re
puoIic, ceding Walsh bay and other
parts Of the Union to the Germans and
undertaking that the Germans should
invade the Union only If Maritz asked
them to do 80

MEAT REALLY I'm THE AIR"
Alaskan Housewives Have Good Rea-
son for Making Display of Their
Supply of Provisions.

VERY patriotic lot of people live
here, | see," is the remark made by
almost every new conner to the from
tier town Of Knik, Alaska, at the
head of Cooks inlet, when they see
that almost every house Is supplied
with a fagpole.
And they are right about the pa
triotism, but it just happens that the
poles are not for flags but for meat.
Knik Is on the trail to Iditarod and
the Kuskokwim valley, and in the
summer the sled dogs and the flies are
so thick that it is impossible to keep
meat in ordinary caches near the
ground.
There is no butcher shop in Knik
and the only fresh meat is moose or
Alaska sheep brought in by the hunt
ers. It's very handy for the house
wives Of Knik to have the meat sup
ply Of the town up in the air. If
hubby has poor luck with his gun and
the supply runs out, all she has to
do is to go to the door, pick out her
neighbor who has the largest supply
on hand and go borrow a steak or
two.
The meat Is fastened securely to a
rope and 1t is run up to the top Of
the pole very much the same as q
flag would be.

Without the Yashmak.

One Of the English illustrated pa
pers shows a photograph of two
Turkish women. They are standing
In a public place without the yash-
max, the veil which for so many cen.
turtles covered the faces Of all Turk
ish women who had a claim to respect
ability.
The women are well dressed. They
have refined faces and evidently be-
long to the well-to-do classes and per-
haps to the aristocracy. They seem
somewhat embarrassed-but the yash-
max is not there!
1t is fitting that a generation which
has seen the sudden rise OF Japan to
great power among the nations;
which has seen India seething with
twentieth century ideas, and China
under at least the semblance Of q
republican form Of government,
should also see evidence of revolt
among the women of the Mohamme-
dan countries. II conditions In Eng
land have given rise to the militants
and their antics, what do conditions
In Turkey not warrant the Turkish
women in trying to do?

WHAT TROUBLED HIS SLEEP

His Complaint.

The neighbors of tall, sunburned
man who wears white suit are due to
receive visit from the police depart

The man is foreman in the street

for few minutes.

Sergeant O'Rourke smiled mysteri-

and returned with a small box.
