THE SEA AS AN ASSET

How blest are we by the boundless
sea. 1t is our defense and refuge
our rock of Gibraltar in times of in
ternational disturbances. Well may
the earth with ruin-his control stops
with the Shore Back of Russia's
war with Japan was to obtain an out
let to the sea. The underlying causes
of the war now in progress are for the
same purpose. Fortunate we are that
we can eXclaim with Barry Cornwall:
THE sea, the sea, the open SEAL" The
United States is almost bounded by
the sea. Florida alone has twelve
hundred miles of seacoast. The en-
perOr of Russia would part with one
half of his dominions for the same
number of miles of coast line. Ger
many wants greater access also to the
sea. This leads us to ask if we are
making the most of our opportunities.
Texas alone is bigger than the Ger
man empire yet Germany has belted
the globe with her products. Florida
is more than five times the size of Bel
GUM, yet see what a record Belgium
has made in the conquest of trade.
Mr.. Ben Rheinauer says that it had
been only twenty years since he had
been away from Germany, and in the
particular part of the country that he
resided it was not very much unlike
Florida in many respects, but when he
revisited it his eyes could scarcely
believe what they beheld. Miles on
mills of factories. Factories of every
conceivable nature. The German
people not only calculated to supply
their own wants. but their ambition
was to make conquest OF the trade

FACES

We believe it was Alexander Pope
who said that man is fearfully and
wonderfully made" "How compli-
cate, how wonderful, is many ex-
claimed the poet Young, author of the
Night Thoughts.
OF all mechanisms man is certainly
the most wonderful. How passing
wonder must be his author.
All fashioned in the same mould
yet no two are alike. They are diff
ferentiated in everything. The same
eyes yet never the same expression.
The same tongue yet never the same
articulation. The same brain, the
same training, yet never the same
line of thoughts. All possessing
eyes, ears, nose, chin, cheeks, mouth,
lips, the same sense of touch and
smell and taste, yet differentiation
everywhere.
Commenting upon this wonderful
fact the London Christian World
says:
Nowhere else in the heavens or
the earth have we so vivid a picture
as if offered us in the human face. In
those few inches of surface what a
concentration of power, what a ming
ling of matter and of mind! The
face is the souls window, through
which it looks out on the world;
through which the world, in it's turn,
reads the souls own secret. Think of
the collection of faculty massed in
that tiny oval! Underneath, in chest
and limbs, is the machinery of life;
here, on the countenance is life it.
self. It's flesh is charged with spirit
The eye, which gives us the universe,
the farthest worlds; the ear, with all
that music means, with all that spok-
en- language means; the mouth, the
gateway of our food and drink, of the
air we breathe, the organ of speech;
our sense of smell, and the whole
world of scents and perfumes,-all
this and so much more built into that
one tiny bit of space! Every inch
it is revelation. What volumes the
eye tells! The nose, the mouth, the
chin, all deciders of destiny. You
will see nose that tells everything:
conquering nose, that of a Caesar, a
Wellington, that will crash through a
world; the weak, homeless one, sign
of the nothing the man is. And so
with a mouth, a chin. All we are,
all we have been, and all we have
done, carries itself here in a thousand
subtle lines, myriad touches of the
artist who is painting us. Odd, is it
not, that while we so carefully shield

He said that because of the 1 wonderful cures effected by applica- l ton to cancer of radium rays there had sprung up host of impostors and quacks who were foisting alleged cures upon the public. He added: Since there now are less than two grams of radium in the United States and 1t is valued at S1a0.000 gram these claims scarcely are plausible.
 Wonders that actually have been ac- complished in curing cancer through the use of radium were described to the chemical section by Dr. Charles L. Parsons, chief of the division of min- eralogy in the government bureau of mines. He exhibited several photo graphs showing the results of radium treatment for cancer.
 Lack of cooperation between mine owners and miners and deficient state and national regulations of the mining industry were blamed for the high death rate among mine employees by Dr. Joseph A. Holmes. director of the United States bureau of mines. in an address before the mecha nical science and engineering section. Dr. Holmes asserted:
 The death rate among miners is a na- tional disgrace. It is twice to three times that of European mining countries when considered on the basis of the number of
 men employed.
