Denizens of the Underworld.

A gentleman who visited one of the
rock-cut tombs Of the Lydian Desert
found it tenanted by bats. They were
so numerous that they swarmed over
her person, while hundreds tluttered
around him. Explorers of the pyra-
mids Of Egypt have had similar expo
rfences; indeed, wherever there arr
caves, or crypts. or subterranean tun-
nels, or chuch towers they are haunt
ed by bats.-Scientifc American.

Fatal Electric Shocks.

Electric workers know that a sever
shock received in one foot and pass

it would kill instantly. This is be

POPE Plus THE
Tenth IS DEAD
WAR UNDOUBTEDLY FASTENED
HIS DEATH CATHOLIC
CHURCH HEAD WAS NEARLY
EIGHTY YEARS OLD.

Pope Plus X, died shortly after IL
o'clock this, Thursday, morning after
an illness which began coincidentally
with the present European war. Tues.
day, attending physicians announced
that he was suffering merely from =
cold, but bronchial affection set in
with fatal results. Those close to him
believe his grief over the present con-
flict brot on the crisis. So 0verwhelm-
ed was he that he was unable to with
stand another attack Of his old trouble,
grouty catarrh.
AT the beginning Of the European
crisis. the Pope addressed an exhorta-
ton to all Catholics Of the world, ask
inR them to lift their souls toward
Christ. VINO alone is able to aid. He
called upon the clergy to offer public
nravar that war might be averted.
Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, known
to the world as Pope Plus x, was
elected to the Pontifcate on August
1, 1903, and during his occupancy Of
his exalted Office as head OF the 10
man Catholic church, he was confront
ed with some Of the most momentous
problems, religious and governmental,
with which the Holy See has had 70
deal in modern times.
Pope Plus was born on June 2, 1880,
at REESE, in the Venetian provinces,
the first child Of Clam attista Sarto,
q postman, and his wife, Margherita::
Giuseppe's early career was influenced
by the village priest, who took liking
for the boy, taught him to read and
write and drummed into the youthful
head the rudiments OF Latin. AT the

presumed that the children had secur-
ed some matches and by this means
the fire was started. The other chill
dren became frightened at the sight of
the flames and ran screaming to the
mother, leaving the little helpless tot,
unable to do anything for It's own pro-
lection, to the cruel mercies Of the fire
demon. When the parents arrived on
the scene it was too late and only the
charred remains Of the babe, lying
among the burning embers Of the
building was there to greet them.

that the German emperor would leave

PROBLEMS OF CIVILIZATION.
We Are Too Stupid and Narrow to

We are a stupid people, and we are
a bad looking people. We are ugly, we
have narrow minds and we have bad
manners a great deal of that is due TO
the effect of being brought up in So
ciety of inequality. I know perfectly
well what happened to myself
1 can remember one ON my earliest
experiences in life was my father finding
me playing with a certain little boy IN the
street and telling me l was not to play
with that little boy. giving me to under
stand that he was very inferior and OBJ
iectionable kind of little boy. | had not
found him so. asked my father,
.Why?" He said, His father keeps a
shop 1 said to my father, We'll, but
you keep a mill" Therefore my father
pointed out to me that he sold things
wholesale and that this little boys father
sold things retail, and that consequently
there was between me and that boy a
gulf which could never be respectfully
bridged
When you are brought up, as you In
eyitably are in a society like ours. with
that sort of blasphemy being continually
dinned into your ears, when you are
taught to be unsocial At every point ana
brought up to be unsocial, then any little
chance that your natural endowments at
your birth may have left you of being
able to grapple with the enormous pro-
blems of our modern civilization-prob-

scope of mind, the most unhesitating
magnanimity,' the most sacred recogni-
ton of your spiritual and human equali-
ty with every person in the nation-is
utterly destroyed. That is why / doubt
whether these problems can be solved
by us, brought up in that way. To solve
them you need a new sort of human be-

Read Mr.. Marvin's Letter.

The Portland Argus on Saturday
morning touched off a blast aimed at
the Kennebec Journal. 1t was inter
esting as specimen of the lengths to
which some men and organs can go
and avoid argument by keeping away
from facts. In this issue we publish
a letter from Thomas o. Marvin which
seems to answer the Argus and leave
a wide margin all around for the Port
land paper to founder in. We recon-
mend it to the reading of the Argus
editor. The type of discussion" which
the Argus uses against the Kennebec
Journal, such as "standpat," booze
brainstorm," "reactionary," cuts little
figure with the average reader now
adays. The people of Maine are think
ing for themselves; they understand
the difference between plain facts and
sophistry.

SHAVE, SHINE, BEDS CENTS.
Hotel Life on a Nickel a Day at the
Dawes Hostelry in Chicago.

The latest innovation at the Rufus
F. Dawes nickel hotel in Chicago Is
a. barberless barber shop. Every man
who enters for a nights lodging Is
welcome to a free shave and shoe
shine-only there is no barber to ad-
minister the shave nor porter to sup
ply the shine.
Upon applying to the clerk guest
will receive a razor. There is no shaw
ing soap nor brush. William d. Tay-
lor manager of the hosiery, has dis
covered that an adequate lather can
be raised with the ordinary soap sup
piled in the Mushrooms. Shoe brush
es and polish also are furnished each
applicant without cost.
Charles G. Dawes, founder of the in
stitution, is responsible for the inno-
vation. While visiting the hotel he no
ticed that most all of the guests wore
ragged boards or heavy growths on
their faces. He suggested that the men
be supplied with razors, in order tnal
they might start out in quest of Jop
in the morning with clean faces.
