ed Saturday evening from Prairie du
Chen, Wis, where he had been on
a business trip. Mr. Kelley and fam

around Madison, and before coming
here he landed fine " pound sill
YER bass and number of pike

Had Narrow Escape.

Senator Fellows, wife and sons
Bert and Kenneth and Postmaster
and Mrs. Dunlevy autoed to DEBORAH
yesterday in the formers 6-cylinder
Buick. They left here at 1925 and
were in DEBORAH at 1915. The
day was ideal and the pleasure of
the trip marred only by what might
have been a serious accident. After
dinner they drove down to the Pow
er Dam and when within almost two
miles Of there, in attempting to pass
team ahead of them, the car bare
ly escared going over blind or bur-
led culvert, just hanging to the
bank by one of the hind wheels at
an angle of about As degrees. Only
the presence of mind of Bert, the
chauffeur, in throwing the lever wide
open, and the power and weight of
the car, saved the party from going
into the ditch. When pulled out
by a neighboring farmers team the
car went off as though nothing had
happened and the rest Of the journey
to the dam and home again was
made without mishap and part of
the time at a 40-mile clip. 1t is
a dangerous piece of road where the
accident happened and should be
safeguarded in some manner or the
county will be called upon to pay
a big damage suit some day. The
Fellows car was the second one
hauled out of there this season.

We read the other day, where the
question was asked how many lives
and how many billions Of dollars ii
would cost the United States to pro-
teot and hold the PHILIPPINES, In event
soma first class power, Japan, for in
stances should endeavor to take the
Islands. In the article in question,
the question wasn't answered any fur
ther than with the statement that the
United States army and navy would
te at d great disadvantage, especially
against Japan, by being confronted
with dista noe Of 1000 miles from
her base of supplies, reinforcemants,
War college OF instruction, etc. But
in another article we read where the
United States with her present navy
could not hope to hold the Islands, IL
attacked, for the reason that it would
require nearly every American vessel
to convoy transports, leaving prac-
tioally none for the battle line. So 1t
would seem If we are to hold the
PHILIPPINES in safety, we must provide
protection by increasing the size Of
our navy far 10 advance of what it Is
at the present time and maintain
larger standing army. Already the
cry for militarism In the United
States is heard In the veiled attacks
on the present administrations policy
Of turning the government Of the
PHILIPPINES over to the Filipinos as far
as possible, with the ultimate object
Of fnll Filipino governmental control
eventually. Whether or not the FIJI
ipinos are ready in capability and ca
pacity to take over government for
themselves, we will not attempt to
say. The Wilson administration seems
10 believe the time Ia drawing near

ave, the sooner there will be lifted

menace she can possibly have from
foreign powers, and the abolisIlment

Intensity Of the Light and Heat II
Sheds Upon Our Universe.
By series of curious experiments
scientific men have gained fair idea
Of the intensity of light and heat from
the sun as compared with earthly in
struments.
When the sun is at the zenith, or di-
rectly overhead. its light is equal to
seventy-f1ve electric lights placed only
three feet from the observer. Yet an
electric light is too dazzling for any
one to gaze steadily at it. And as com
pared with Sirius, which is the bright
est in the heavens, the light of the sun
is 20,000,000 times more brilliant
The intensity of solar heat on our
globe varies greatly, in way that sun
light does not. the former being affect
ed by locations. attitudes, changes Of
the atmosphere and many causes.
1t has been estimated, however, that
the total quantity of heat which the
earth receives from the sun each year Is
enough to melt layer of ice covering
the entire globe and having thick.
ness Of a hundred feet.
But this is only a very small portion
of the whole amount Of heat given out
by the sun. The total solar heat Is
enough to melt every day a layer of
ice ten and one-half miles thick, about
the entire sun. or, to take Professor
Tyndall's comparison. the suns heat
emitted In one hour is equal to that
produced by burning a seam of coal
